My Mom Loves a Good Sale Find—25 Gorgeous Nordstrom Markdowns I Sent Her Way
It's rare for my 56-year-old mother to buy a full-priced item. When she finds something she likes, say a cute cashmere sweater, if it's not on sale now, she will wait till it is. After shopping with her for many years, it's a habit I've picked up myself. I can't complain. I've certainly saved a few bucks here and there. So, when I saw Nordstrom update its new markdown section, I knew it was time to fulfill my daughterly duties and create the chicest Nordstrom markdown edit ever. And that's exactly what's coming to you ahead.
Scroll on to shop the 25 gorgeous Nordstrom sale items I sent my mother. In addition to being both editor- and mom-approved, many of these standout picks come in under $100. You'll find coveted brands like Madewell, Vince, Frame, Good American, Adidas, and so much more. Think straight-leg jeans, sporty sneakers, suede carryalls, elevated basics, French-girl staples (the trench coat), and even these $59 Benson Loafers our editor can't stop talking about. Below, shop the best Nordstrom new markdowns, plus many other stylish sale finds.
