American Eagle Bikini Top/Bottom $14.95/$9.95*

With shorter days and cooler weather ahead, fall is fast approaching. Make sure to break out your white shoes and seersucker this weekend, because starting on Tuesday they become a don’t. (Tear.) But looking on the bright side, there are a few ups to summer winding down.

1. No more coming to work sweat-drenched from being stuck on an un-air conditioned subway car with three hundred other people, many of whom have never heard of deodorant.
2. Swimsuit sales! Snatch up a few sets and wrap them up for next season. Come Memorial Day, you can open up a present from yourself. “Oh, you shouldn’t have, you’re so thoughtful!”

*Down from $29.50/$24.50
