The M&S 50% off sale just started - I'm positive these 15 pieces will be sold out by the end of the day
From swimwear and tops to wear with jeans to the prettiest wedding guest dress, prices start from just £10
I'm not saying I was ahead of the curve with my Marks and Spencer obsession, but an M&S sale was always a big event in my house growing up. Some things never change, eh?
The British clothing brand doesn't hold back when it comes to discounting some of its most popular pieces - and we're not talking 20 or 30% here - they're straight in on day one of the sale with a whopping 50% discount.
If you don't have enough time to scroll through all the good stuff on the site, I've done the hard work for you. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it! I've handpicked the 15 womenswear pieces that will sell out first. They're all massively reduced, have a decent size range at the time of writing, and you can wear them right now. We're not just talking wintry coats and thick jumpers you won't dig out of your wardrobe for months. There's stylish swimwear, beautiful occasion dresses, light tops for sunny days and shower-ready jackets for the unpredictable British weather. Just don't wait to head to the checkout, or I might just beat you to it...

Pop of red styling is a huge trend right now, and this scalloped edge cardigan is ideal for cloudy but warm days. Pair yours with white jeans and your best white trainers.
I cannot believe this floral dress is just £25. Isn't it stunning? The halterneck shape is super flattering, and you could wear this for everything from a barbecue to a summer wedding. One reviewer wrote: "It's a loose fit so feels comfortable making it a great day dress or for evening with the right accessories. Pretty pattern looks so much better in real life."
Wondering what to wear to the office in the heat? This pure cotton shirt features a cinched in waist and would look amazing with linen trousers or Bermuda shorts.
For just £10, it would be rude not to add this little crochet number to your shopping basket. The blue trim is a nice touch, and it would layer over swimwear perfectly on holiday when you head for lunch.
I hate to break it to you, but it's likely to be rainy again next week. This waxed jacket looks like Barbour, but at just £34 it's a complete bargain. I love the loose sleeves, as I find cuffed sleeves can feel too hot in the summer months.
A chic way to refresh your favourite jeans outfits for summer, this chilli red top will set you back just £30. The ruches are in all the right places to be incredibly flattering.
I was so surprised to see swimwear in amongst the M&S sale pieces. So often with sales you have to be prepared to shop out of season, but I was recommending this wave print swimsuit to woman&home readers just a few short weeks ago!
M&S jeans are some of the best you can buy on the high street, and these are well worth a try. Straight leg styles feels much fresher than skinny, and the material on these is super soft.
I would have guessed this blouse was by Ganni or Damson Madder if I didn't know it was from M&S! The pink and red colour palette is very striking indeed, and the scalloped collar is so pretty.
Drop waist skirts are a big trend at the moment, and this midi skirt is an affordable way to try it and find out if it works for you. Vertical stripes will always be slimming, and this is a great piece to wear with Birkenstocks.
This £20 skirt is ideal for packing in your holiday suitcase. One customer commented "washes well and no ironing needed". The colour will stand out and the check print is a complete classic.
We've all been coveting the red version of this jacket in the office, so I'm surprised to see the grey option has been reduced in the sale! It's a lightwear layer that will come into its own when summer showers are forecast.
Perfectly cosy for wearing on the plane, this fleece sweatshirt is firmly in my shopping basket. Half zip styles are still super popular, and it's available in all sizes from XS to XL.
M&S' Air Yarn pieces are really popular, so if you're after a breathable knit, you can call off the search. The hazelnut colour is delicious!
Another easy packing piece, I've had my eye on this skirt for weeks now. One reviewer wrote: "Lovely fabric which does not crease and easy to wear with an elasticated waist. Lovely colours to coordinate tops/jackets with and easy to dress up or down."
The M&S summer sale is available in selected stores and online, for a limited time only. You can take advantage of discounts up to 50% off kidswear, menswear, womenswear, lingerie, home and beauty, so it's the perfect time to refresh your summer capsule wardrobe.
