I'm a Shopping Specialist—Here's What's Worth Buying From Nordstrom's Big Sale

Are you sitting comfortably? Good. Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale is here, and it's time to sit back and indulge in a little guilt-free retail therapy as I guide you toward some seriously cool fashion picks at majorly discounted prices.
As Who What Wear's senior fashion market editor and shopping specialist, I spend an absurd amount of time perusing Nordstom's site daily for the coolest of-the-moment pieces worthy of your wallet. So when the retailer has a sale, I'm always excited to share the fashion-forward items I recommend getting your hands on first.
I've waded through hundreds of pages to bring you the most important pieces worth buying from the big sale—from elevated basics to sleek sandals and Nordstrom-made brands to designer labels we love. Keep scrolling for some shopping fun.
TOPS
Just add high-waisted white denim shorts and sleek sandals.
BOTTOMS
I guarantee you'll be reaching for these all summer.
DRESSES & JUMPSUITS
Lean into this season's most dominant color trend: chili-pepper red.
For all your special summer events.
SHOES, BAGS & ACCESSORIES
UNDIES, SWIMWEAR & PAJAMAS
I always stock up on Natori bras when Nordstorm has a sale.
Barefoot Dreams has the softest loungewear.
