Labor Day Weekend is just around the corner, which, if you didn't know, is a great time to shop for deals. Before the discounts start to roll out, I've already been shopping Nordstrom's new markdowns. If you're an impatient shopper like me, this is the perfect time to strike. But there's still the risk of items selling out, so you'll want to act fast, especially on this Tory Burch Perry Triple Compartment Leather Tote, which would make the perfect work tote. Oh, that's right, coveted brands like Tory Burch, Levi's, Coach, Lafayette 148, and more are currently available for less.

Below, you'll find everything I'm shopping for as someone who works in fashion. Think button-up leather jackets, slim-straight jeans, ruched loafers, striped crew tees; the list goes on. Available stock isn't guaranteed, but generous discounts and chic fashion certainly are. Scroll on to save.
