I know what you're thinking: OMG, Nicole. Thank you so much. You've made sale shopping so much easier for us, you selfless angel. What did we do to deserve you? But before you go on (in your head), I'm going to have to stop you because the truth is I did this for myself.
It's true! I'm no angel; I just wanted an excuse to stop procrastinating and finally scan all the sales, and in the process, I found more than fits in my cart, budget, or closet—38 items to be exact—and each and every one of them is seriously wish list–worthy. From jackets and bags to sweaters, jeans, boots, and sneakers, below, you'll find what I consider to be the very best of the many, many marked-down items right now, at every price point. To see and shop all my finds, just keep scrolling.
I actually had this before it was on sale, which is how you know I really like it.
This is one of my favorite denim brands, and it's rarely on sale.
The fashion set is obsessed with these, and it's pretty obvious why.
I usually try not to pick favorites but…
These will always be in style.
Everyone needs one.
I love how delicate yet intricate this is.
Sweater-pants? Sign me up.
Repeat after me: Manolos on sale.
You can't not look cool in this.
Another Staud bag to add to the collection.
Khaite perfects everything it designs.
Oh, and it comes in black, too.
When people ask me for help finding going-out tops for cold weather, I show them this.
Too chic to pass up.
You'll never take them off.
Granny vibes on point.
Swap out your black pants for these beauties.
I can't even believe thees are on sale.
It's already in my cart.
For athletes and fake athletes alike.
Who can resist this pretty print?
Iconic is right.
I love how this set looks styled with an oversize blazer.
An instant classic.
Everyone needs some version of this Cult Gaia knit dress in their wardrobe.
My mom is obsessed with this sweater, and you can trust her taste.
I love everything this brand makes.
I will be dreaming about this tonight.
Add the matching skirt, and you have a full look.
I always loved this.
There are endless ways to style this.
Don't forget the matching pants.
No basic sneakers here.
You bet I'm snatching this up.
Can't go wrong.
I'd wear this nonstop.
Dress this up with jeans or keep it casual with the matching pants.
Next: My mom said these are the best gifts at Nordstrom—I love them all.
