I Spent New Year's Day at Nordstrom—28 Half-Yearly Sale Items I Couldn't Resist

A new year almost always comes with resolutions. This year, the tradition resulted in my promising to cut down on shopping and pick back up my running habit. That’s how I found myself jogging along the west side of Central Park on New Year’s Day, only to somehow end up at Nordstrom’s front door. While I should have held off and resisted the strong urge to step inside, I didn’t. Instead, I broke my resolution one day in and went off at 10 in the morning into the Half-Yearly Sale section. Surprise, surprise.

From elegant and affordable outerwear that I’m prepared to replace all of my expensive designer coats with to ultra-luxe footwear and accessories from the likes of Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, and Tory Burch that are shockingly marked down, the 28 Half-Yearly Sale items I discovered during my two-hour jaunt around Nordstrom’s NYC flagship are nothing if not impressive. Before the deals end on January 8, shop every last one below.
