I Spent My Entire Workday Shopping Nordstrom's Sale—30 Finds I'm Losing It Over
There comes a point in any major sale when you need to stop resisting the urge to shop and finally give in to temptation. I, more than anyone, will tell you that shopping a sale right when it begins won't result in the best deal. However, once the dust has settled a bit and sizes and colors have begun to dwindle, it's essential that you hop to it and snag the items you're eyeing before someone else does. There's a short window for success, but as a fashion editor who's covered countless sales, I'm prepared to make sure you don't miss it.
Arguably, the biggest sale happening right now is Nordstrom's epic Half-Yearly Sale, which currently includes nearly 20,000 marked-down items for women, from shoes and handbags to apparel. In the bunch are designer finds from brands like Khaite, Nili Lotan, The Row, Tory Burch, and The Attico as well as affordable items from Skims, Topshop, Open Edit, and Levi's. Really, this year's Half-Yearly Sale includes a little bit of everything, and that's coming from someone who, over the last day, has probably looked through every last one of the 19,576 items on sale.
In order to ensure that you don't lose out on your chance to get in on the action, I rounded up 30 of the most mind-boggling pieces that are on sale right now. Scroll down to shop them all.
A simple, sleek pair of loafers can be worn for any occasion.
Tucked in with jeans, atop a bikini on the beach, open with a tank top—there's no end to the styling possibilities when it comes to a cotton button-down shirt.
I have these in a light-blue wash and am obsessed with the crisscross detail. It's so flattering and just adds a special touch to any denim collection.
Your new everyday earrings have been found. Now, all you have to do is press purchase.
I think about these point-toe sock boots at least once a day.
I don't use the word "need" very often, but I desperately need this maxi skirt.
It's been extra rainy this season, making this trench coat essential.
Purchasing this gorgeous suede mini bag from Khaite will only lead to happiness. Full stop.
Cuff bracelets are having a moment right now thanks to Saint Laurent and Alaïa, but if you're not ready to invest in anything pricey yet, this $15 Open Edit cuff is a great alternative.
The low-key trousers that chic Italian and French women frequent in the summer.
If my denim isn't barrel shaped in 2023, I have next to no interest.
If you own too many pairs of black sunglasses, this red style is a perfect next addition.
I can already think of at least a dozen different ways to wear this flowy white skirt.
From the sheer fabric to the cutout detail, there's nothing not to love about this maxi dress.
I, for one, cannot think of a single reason not to buy these wide-leg Madewell jeans. Can you?
Kylie Jenner loves this jewelry brand.
The kind of easy top you can wear anywhere, from the office to a fancy restaurant.
I've already convinced myself I need these. Now, there's no stopping me.
