Belle’s Picks: Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale

May 20, 2015

Next to the Anniversary Sale, Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly is my favorite sale event of the year.  It provides a great opportunity to buy a few basics or indulge in something fun to punch-up your wardrobe.  Here are my best picks for working women from this year’s sale.

Classiques Entier Sunmosa Dress ($135)

Dresses. This dress is a wonderful warm-weather work dress.  It comes in navy, black, and two bright colors.  I think the neckline and the belt make this a stylish, sophisticated buy.

For work, I love this striped black-and-white Tahari dress.  There’s also an incredibly stylish plus-size Julia Jordan dress in black-and-white.  For a bit of color, this NYDJ Gracelynn dress is a winner.

Looking for a fun dress?  This bright pink Eliza J dress is great for summer events.  I also love this casual coral woven maxi.

Charles David Lulu d’Orsay Pump ($146)

Shoes. Charles David is a great brand, and their Lulu pump comes in four colors.  I love this modern shape.  If you have a bit of money to spend, I also recommend the Stuart Weitzman Platswoon Pump.

Looking for more affordable options? The Michael Kors Flex pump is an amazingly comfortable shoe, and at $76, a great buy.  Also, I own these Jeffrey Campbell Calista pumps in black, and they are my favorite.

Need flats? These $98 Cole Haan skimmers in black and white are so very cool.  And these perforated ballet flats from Michael Kors are very cute.

Pleione Mixed Media Top ($35, also in petite)

Tops. I love this top from Pleione because you can tuck it into a pencil for a relaxed work look or wear it with denim on the weekends.  And best of all, it comes 11 colors.

Trouve also makes this great short sleeve blouse for $40.  It comes in nine colors.  And don’t miss this sleeveless v-neck Vince Camuto blouse for $35 (also in petite).  Plus-size? This sleeveless mixed media top from Halogen is very cute.

Trouve Wrap Front Skirt ($45)

Skirts.  This wrap-front skirt is a fantastic piece for dinner or evening events.  I love the look with a sleeveless silk top and a pair of great pumps.  You can also wear it casually with a t-shirt and a flat sandal.

This printed a-line skirt has a great splash of different shades of blue.  I also like this simple box pleat skirt from Halogen and this simple pencil skirt, also from Halogen.

    I tried on that Lulu pump a few months ago when I was looking for a pair of nude heels and OUCH OUCH OUCH. In the first minute out of the box I knew they were not for me – there’s not a scrap of padding anywhere in that shoe. Just a warning to other tender-footed shoppers.

This weekend, I got two hours to myself for the first time in months. Really to myself. My child was asleep. My dogs were asleep. Kyle was off playing cards with his friends. My house was clean, and there was nothing else to do but sit in my bed and scroll Instagram. It was glorious. […]

The Counter: The Post-Product Era

When I was in my 20s, I bought every trendy nail polish, eye color, and lip gloss.  Sure, I could only wear them on the weekends, but why not wear emerald green liner?  In my 30s, I became enamored with skincare and took every “must-have” product for a spin.  But in my 40s, my skin […]
