When it comes to sale shopping, I like to start with the basics. It's a sure-fire way I know I can probably justify a little splurge of impulse shopping—because really, when have I ever regretted reinvesting in the classic staples I wear on repeat? The meat and potatoes of my wardrobe, if you will?
I'm no stranger to hitting Nordstrom for these elevated basics, from on-trend denim and knits to seasonal footwear staples and perfectly slouchy trench coats. In the midst of Nordstrom's epic surprise sale, I'm here with 42 excellent opportunities to buy a little something that you'll feel good about.
This perfectly slouchy trench is half price. Half price.
