Today, Mango launched an epic sale where everything across the entire site is 30{a38ddb2ded6b05e28c8ae73a8db0e271c21f7193684bd9e4e28acae292f81d99} off through Sunday 5/10. Since it’s only three days long, I decided to scan the site right away to order some pieces before they sell out. I immediately hopped on the phone to tell my very stylish mom about the sale and we began scrolling through to add some of our favorite pieces to our carts.
Since we both tend to stick to minimal-meets-classic style, it was no surprise to me that we picked out many of the same items. Yep, everything from muscle tees and colorful sandals to chunky gold rings and woven basket bags are hitting both of our carts. Interested to find out how she would style each piece, I asked her to weigh in with her outfit ideas—and included how I would wear them myself. Scroll down for the epic sale picks we both agree on and how we would wear each item.
