In order to emerge the winner during sale season, you have to play the long game. Sure, it’d be easier to only shop the first wave, when everything’s still in stock. There’s only one problem: By making all of your purchases early on, you inevitably miss out on all the additional discounts that only arrive after the markdowns have rested and the hype around them has lessened. That’s when you really need to pounce. 

I know firsthand how the fear of a size or desired color in something selling out can sway one’s actions, but if my latest sweep through Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly sale section, which has been running for over a month now, proves anything, it’s that plenty of stellar items stick around long after the first round of markdowns begin. If you were savvy enough to hold out on the sale of the season, today’s your lucky day. Scroll down for some seriously unreal discounted finds from Nordstrom and get busy. It’s finally time to press purchase. 

The prettiest ever—and that’s a fact. 

BRB, I’m busy stocking up on basics. 

This might just be the perfect denim wash.

Madewell’s tanks and tees are unmatched. 

The wider the leg, the better.

An under-$50 blazer? I’ll take it. 

Ralph Lauren only knows how to design chic clothes. 

This top would look so good with white linen pants.

These prove that denim can be formal.

This skirt has kept me up at night multiple times in the last month.

The lingerie look will always win out in my book. 

The styling possibilities are truly endless. 

Now’s your chance to get a classic, awe-worthy designer bag for under-$400. They don’t come around often. 

Just wait until you see the back. 

Levi’s Ribcage jeans are beloved for a reason.
