31 Affordable Items From the Big Sales at Nordstrom and More

When you think about those major sale moments throughout the year, it’s often specific time frames around holidays that seem to have the best deals. But after a recent scope through some of our favorite stores like Nordstrom, Shopbop, and Mango, it became apparent that there’s actually a slew of solid midseason sales happening right now.
That's right. Traditionally, fall and late-summer merchandise wouldn’t go on super-sale until later in the season, but the shopping powers that be seem to be in our favor, as a healthy offering of the must-haves we’ve had our eyes on (like these Chrissy Teigen–inspired boots) just so happen to be up to 50% off right now. Furthermore, all of the on-sale It items in question are also under $100—but look like they could legit cost five times the price. WIN.
With that, keep scrolling to see the affordable (yet expensive-looking) pieces in our carts, broken out by the stores with the best deals. But you better act fast; these sales aren’t necessarily going to stick around past September. Go!
