Although Nordstrom sales are very much celebrated over here at Who What Wear, they can be more than a little bit overwhelming. More often than not, there are thousands of marked-down items involved, with some deserving more attention than others. Finding those standout items is where the trouble comes in, or at least, that's how some people might look at it. Fortunately for anyone who feels that way but still wants to score a great deal, I think about sales a bit differently. For me, digging through page after page of discounted products to pick out the gems is what makes sale season so fun. It's like a game—one that, after six years as a fashion editor and 28 as an avid Nordstrom shopper, I'm more than prepared to play.
That is how I ended up spending part of my day diving headfirst into Nordstrom's Spring Sale, which houses over 18,000 red-marked women's items, from clothing and shoes to jewelry and handbags. Now that I've seen every last one, I am certain that the five hand-selected pieces below are, by far, the most worthy of your hard-earned dollars. There's cashmere, a perfect spring skirt, and jeans that you could easily own for the rest of your life. (Trust me—I just got the same pair and have already worn them twice this week.) The best part? You don't need to wade through a single product-packed shopping page. Everything you could possibly desire from the retailer's big sale is wrapped up in an easy-to-shop package below.

One reviewer said, "Perfect cropped blazer. So comfortable, stylish, flattering. Love it."
I have more pairs of 501s than I can count on one hand, and I'll always buy another if and when an opportunity arises.
Lightweight, on-trend, and perfect for traveling? Say less.
Whenever a Nordstrom sale lands on my desk, the first thing I always search for is cashmere. Marked-down cashmere is my kryptonite, and this black V-neck has me down bad.
