The temptation to shop every Memorial Day sale under the sun this weekend is so real, but before you do, I thought I would share with you a very curated selection of affordable finds I discovered while perusing the much-anticipated Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale. Every day, the sale is growing, and naturally, the breadth of products currently marked down is quite overwhelming. To make things easier on you, I shopped out 35 of my top affordable finds from the incredible selection this year.
While there is a lot more where these came from, the theme of the below assortment is that each item looks way more expensive than it actually is. With nothing ringing in at more than $100, each item below is sure to have you looking like you paid a lot for an article of clothing that actually cost you so little. And with that, I'll let you get to shopping.
The perfect summer top.
Relaxed denim is the trend you'll see everywhere this summer.
We might be biased, but these sandals are it.
The contrast stitching is what makes these look extra pricey.
The fashion-girl way to wear gold hoops.
The perfect item to grab when you just need a light jacket.
Going-out dresses are a thing again, and this one is truly jaw-dropping.
Get the pink one, too.
I will never get over that tiny keyhole.
Trendy in all the right ways.
This dress touches all the trends I love at once.
Just do it.
Prepare to wear these all summer long.
Pair this with loose jean shorts or tailored trousers.
Moiré satin is my weakness.
Everyone needs a pair of straight-leg jeans in their life.
The definition of elevated.
A wardrobe staple you can never have too many of.
The kind of bag you never have to think about.
This will go with everything and more.
The twisted detail makes these look so expensive.
We love a cami with a little bit of spice.
Everyone needs a simple pair of flats.
Romantic blouses will always be the summer vibe.
This neutral bag is still so interesting.
Yes, yes, and yes.
Stacked or worn alone, this gold ring will quickly become one of your favorites.
If you've been in need of vacation shoes, look no further.
An elevated loungewear piece you'll never want to take off.
Quite simple yet quite interesting.
A pair of jeans that will never go out of style.
I can never resist a pair of fuzzy slippers.
