To emerge as a winner during the sale season, you have to play the long game. Sure, it’d be easier to only shop sales on their first day when everything is still in stock. But there’s a problem with making your purchases early on—you inevitably miss out on the additional discounts that only arrive after the hype around initial markdowns has cooled. That’s when you really need to pounce.
I know firsthand how fearing a desired size or color option will sell out can sway one’s actions. However, if my latest sweep through Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly sale—which has been running for more than a month now—proves anything, it’s that plenty of stellar items stick around long after the first round of markdowns. 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.
