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.
