My Sister Asked Me What She Should Buy From Nordstrom's Massive Half-Yearly Sale—I Told Her These 45 Elegant Items

If you haven't already heard, Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale has officially begun, and I've already ransacked hundreds of pages of sale products to see what's worth buying. My sister has wasted zero time asking me for a list of items she should get her hands on—particularly pieces that ooze an elegant and elevated vibe—that she could wear for work, the weekend, dates, and everything else in between. Of course, I happily obliged. (What are sisters for, after all?)
From chic boots to cashmere sweaters and tailored trousers, below, I'm sharing all the elegant items I suggested to my sister from Nordstrom's epic Half-Yearly Sale taking place now through January 6. If you're looking for some luxe and versatile pieces to add to your winter wardrobe, then keep scrolling below—and add to cart before they sell out.
