35 of the Chicest Under-$100 Items From Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale

When one of our go-to retailers hits us with a major sale, we basically stop what we're doing and get down to business (aka shop). You too? Thought so. Well, get ready because Nordstrom just kicked off its highly anticipated Half-Yearly Sale. And it's good, like really good. Yep, I'm talking up to 40% off coveted items through January 3.
While there's a range of pieces included in the Nordstrom blowout, I thought you'd be especially interested in some affordable yet expensive-looking finds to refresh your wardrobe. So I spent the morning sifting through the pages of redlined merch to bring you my favorite under-$100 pieces.
Keep scrolling to shop 35 of the chicest shoes, jeans, sweaters, and more that you just might regret passing on.
Next, check out more cheap and chic pieces to shop now.
