2025 Update: The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale has begun — here's our 2025 roundup! Sign up for our newsletter to stay on top of all the great sales!
The below content is about the 2009 Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale.
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend.
Nordstrom's half-yearly sale has begun, and there are some great pieces to be had at great prices (although it does seem like a lot of sizes are under-represented).
For today's TPS, we're liking this beautiful, ladylike, comfortable skirt from Ellen Tracy — how perfect to tuck in silk blouses (or wear with a bodysuit); we'd also wear it with a cropped blazer or perhaps a wrap if we were cold.
Was $248, now $147 with the sale at Nordstrom's. Ellen Tracy Stretch Wool Skirt
