Nordstrom Dropped a Sale, and I Scanned the Whole Thing—These Buys Are It
Whenever Nordstrom drops a sale, it's virtually a holiday at this point. It's not uncommon to catch the final drop of end-of-season sales around this time in January, but few rival Nordstrom's expansive selection of epic markdowns. So when the retailer launched a semi-sale a few days ago, I stopped everything to see what was up. And scan every corner I did—precisely 400-plus pages of boots, dresses, denim, sweaters, and more.
A set of tired eyes and fatigued fingers later (because I'm just that dedicated), I found the most compelling fashion buys of the bunch. It's great news if a wardrobe refresh or trend experiment is on the seasonal agenda—there were so many great designer discounts included in the sale, like Prada and The Row for 60% off. But if your budget calls for staples that are more affordable, there's plenty of that too. Ahead, keep scrolling to shop the deals that trump the rest.
