• On the casual/weekend note, there are a ton of nice–looking jumpsuits — know your office before wearing one to work though!

Some particular pieces that caught my eye…

• Trouvé Print Pull-On Pants – I have been wary of the track pant trend for work, but something about these printed pants look lovely. Were $84, now $50; know your office before wearing them for any sort of a big day.
• Vince Camuto Contrast Yoke Ombré Print Sheath Dress – Only petite sizes left, but look how purty! Was $139, now $69.
• Ivanka Trump Seamed Ponte Sheath Dress – I'm surprised there isn't a bigger selection of Ivanka Trump clothes or dresses, but I do like this seamed ponte dress — lucky sizes 10-14 only. Was $134, now $80.
• Marc New York by Andrew Marc V-Neck Fit & Flare Dress – The model has an odd stance here, but it looks like a great dress regardless. Was $148, now $88, available in both black and blue sizes 0-14.

• Vince Camuto Cotton Blend One-Button Blazer – This Vince Camuto jacket is kind of a classic — it comes out in different colors every season. I like the pretty blue color right now (it's also available in full price in black). Was $150, now marked to $89 for regular and petite sizes, and $98 for plus sizes. (See our Plus Size Workwear page for even more fresh picks from the Nordstrom sale!)
• NYDJ ‘Alana' Stretch Crepe Sheath Dress – NYDJ has a ton of nice looking crepe dresses, many on sale — I like that this one is hand washable, and still available in most sizes 2-12.
• Eileen Fisher Mélange Linen Open Front Cardigan – This linen cardigan from Eileen Fisher looks kind of perfect for the summer. It comes in two colors of blue, comes in petite and regular sizes XXS-XL, and is marked to $130 (down from $218).
• Classiques Entier® ‘Sunmosa' Drape Neck Ponte Dress – I think this is the prettiest ponte dress, and at $135 it's a great price. It comes in regular and petite sizes 2-16, and four colors including black, navy, pink, and teal. It was originally $228.

• BOSS ‘Rodera' Colorblock Pleat Front Shirt – I featured this one over at CorporetteMoms today both because I love it and it's machine washable. Score. It was $260, but is now $159.
• BOSS ‘Iladi' Notch Neck Top – This notch neck top is different, and lovely for the summer — it feels more structured than a regular tee, but less gapey than a blouse. It was $275, now $165.
• Classiques Entier® Pinstripe Suit Jacket – There are a TON of suiting deals to be had at the sale, as mentioned above — this blue pinstripe jacket from Classiques Entier just looks so classic. Love it. It was $298, now $178; the matching pants are down to $118.
• Diane von Furstenberg ‘New Jeanne 2' Print Silk Jersey Wrap Dress – As mentioned above, TONS of DVF at the sale. I like this bright, happy silk wrap dress — was $398, now $238.

Finally:

• Veronica Beard Print A-Line Skirt – I'm still drooling over the dress from Monday, so I was intrigued to see a bunch of Veronica Beard pieces in the sale. This is my favorite — a black and white midi skirt. It was $450, but is now on sale for $270 (limited sizes, alas).
• L'AGENCE Contrast Panel Pleated Crepe Dress – This crepe dress looks lovely, and — to me at least — walks that delicate line between feminine and floaty, and professional. It was $525, but is now marked to $315.
• Max Mara ‘Ottavo' Jersey Sheath Dress – Max Mara continues to blow me away with their simple, classic sheath dresses. This gorgeous one, with an almost stripey print, is marked 40% off — was $765, now $458.
• Armani Collezioni Fitted Piqué Jersey Jacket – This fitted pique jersey looks perfect for summer — classic, wear it with everything. It was $1,345, but is now marked to $575.

I'll round up bags and shoes later (probably tomorrow) — but I will quickly note that there are a lot of Stuart Weitzman and SJP heels in the sale. Which favorites will you be looking for, ladies?
