Can you believe it? Summer is finally (FINALLY!) here! After months of staying inside and cancelling plans, it's time to venture into the sunlight.
And to get your wardrobe ready, Nordstrom Rack is throwing a party: the ~Clear The Rack~ sale!
Okay, it's not really a party, but with an extra 25% off all clearance items (meaning up to 75% off retail prices), it's a reason to do a little happy dance.
Here are a few of our top picks for summer:
1. A pair of paperbag belted pants for when it's just too dang hot to put on jeans.
2. An open front cardigan to keep on hand because over the past eight months you may have forgotten than it does get cooler at night, and you need something to throw on.
3. A rhinestone lariat necklace that will add a touch of glam to any outfit you wear.
4. A tie front dress for when it's hot outside but also -27 degrees in your office. (Because that makes total sense.)
5. A ruffle cropped jumpsuit that's basically the mullet of jumpsuits...in the best way possible. People will compliment you when they see you coming and then be shocked (again, in the best way possible) as you walk on by.
6. A crop top perfect for a summer day when you don't make plans but just see where the day takes you. And it's usually somewhere pretty great, like on a rooftop drinking wine taking in a beautiful sunset.
7. A heeled mule you can put on in a ~cinch~ when you oversleep on Saturday and have to hurry to meet your friends at brunch or they'll be pissed because the restaurant has that stupid rule where they won't sit the party until everyone is there.
8. Some pants you can wear to work on Friday when basically no one is in the office but you have to pretend like you tried – these pants will make it feel like you're wearing pajamas.
9. A pair of cat-eye sunglasses so gorgeous you'll wear them all the time and they'll basically become a staple in your Insta grid.
10. A halter one-piece you'll rock at the pool, the beach, the lake, or even a fountain if that's the closest you can get to water this summer.
11. A v-neck dress you'll have a ~flocking~ good time in every time you wear it.
12. A pair of tassel earrings because you can bring your *own* fireworks to that Fourth of July barbecue you were invited to.
13. A fit and flare dress to put you ~on the dot~ of fashion.
14. A pair of pants to widen your selection of bottoms. Yes, jean shorts are great, but have you ever tried walking down the street with the breeze blowing pants like these, making you feel like you're walking down a runway in Milan?
15. A comet top that's anything but a boring white tee.
16. An overnighter tote for all the weekend getaways you've planned with your friends. Now is the time to get out and explore! Go!
17. A lace-trim camisole you can throw on when your friends text you last minute to meet them for happy hour at a rooftop bar.
18. A denim miniskirt because the 90s are back baby! (Or did they ever really leave?)
19. A watch that looks pretty standard but actually tracks activity and sleep, plays music and takes pictures. Oh yeah, and it tells time, too! It gives new meaning to "doing it all".
20. A v-neck tunic you'll wear a ~bunch~ of times. So many that your friends will be like, "flo-r(e)al?" But it's cute, so yeah.
21. A pair of high-waisted jeans that – paired with a basic tee – will be your summer night uniform.
22. A mini satchel so chic and small, you won't have any excuse to have a messy bag. Just throw out your receipts and wrappers and be done with it.
23. A lace cap-sleeve sheath dress you can wear to that wedding you totally forgot was in two weeks.
24. A pair of camo pants to up your style game so much, nobody will even see it coming.
25. A platform espadrille with a fresh yet modern look that'll also show off that cute pedicure you got.
26. A necklace to truly add a statement to whatever outfit you pair it with.
27. And a ruffle sleeve dress that'll look good at every graduation party, barbecue, outdoor wedding, or whatever else you've been invited to from now until Labor Day.
And that is only a small fraction of what's on sale. Check out the rest here. Happy shopping! 😎
