    Hot, sunny weather is almost here. While I wait for the temperatures to rise, I'm getting ahead by planning my travel capsule wardrobe now. With a few beach trips on my agenda, my shopping list is full of vacation essentials. These are the pieces I can rely on throughout my travels and the rest of the summer. Being the frugal shopper I am, I'm only searching for my favorite finds on sale at Banana Republic and J.Crew.

    Specifically, J.Crew has nearly 600 out-of-office-ready finds, including plenty of beachy dresses, at 30 percent off with the code "SHOPNOW." Meanwhile, Banana Republic is simply offering 40 percent off your entire purchase. That means you can score breezy must-haves like linen pants, tank tops, flowy skirts, and more all at a major discount.

    I, for one, am not letting these sales pass me by, and if you have any kind of trip coming up on your calendar, you shouldn't either. Keep scrolling to see what's worth bringing in your carry-on suitcase from J.Crew and Banana Republic. Ahead, I've found the best on-sale vacation finds from the two retailers to cover your packing list. With the 25 under-$150 pieces below, everything you could need for your getaway, from airport outfits to summery basics, is covered.
