    The most devastating thing happened yesterday. Okay, maybe I’m being a bit dramatic, but hear me out! I took a peek inside my closet and realized my warm-weather wardrobe is far from complete. I’m missing core essentials—like drawstring linen pants and poplin tops—which is a serious problem now that we’ve reached the height of summer.

    Fortunately, Nordstrom has come to the rescue. Ahead of the retailer’s annual Anniversary Sale, which runs from July 18 to August 9, they’re offering major markdowns across all fashion categories. In the clothing department, I discovered a gauzy summer dress for $31 and a floaty maxi skirt for $49. As for shoes and accessories, a pair of $65 mesh flats and a $198 designer bag have already landed prime spots in my shopping cart.

    Now, I have everything I could possibly need to round out my rotation of summer outfits—and you will, too. Scroll on for a curated selection of styles that’ll last all season long. Whether you need polished pieces for the office or laid-back separates for the shore, Nordstrom has you covered. Oh, and the best part of all? Not a single item on this list exceeds $200.
