My Style Is Classic—Here's What I'm Buying From the Epic Nordstrom Sale
  
The summer sales are in full swing, and there are so many incredible finds sitting in them. After shopping many sales myself and regretting some impulse purchases, I've adopted a strategy for navigating the sales that always leaves me happy with everything I've ordered. Rather than adding trendy finds or seasonal purchases into my shopping cart, I stick with timeless pieces and elevated staples that I know will serve my wardrobe well for a long time ahead. My style veers on the classic side, so this strategy is a no-brainer for my closet, but I always recommend it to anyone who is looking to make smart buys when the sales hit.
Now that the epic Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has dropped, I scoured the thousands of marked-down pieces to pull together a tight edit of what I would add to my personal shopping cart. From cool sneakers and cashmere sweaters to iconic sunglasses and satin slip dresses, these are the 29 sale items that made the cut.
