    If you’re a chronic shopper like myself, you likely already know that one of the biggest sales of the year is coming to a close. On Sunday, August 9, Nordstrom will end its annual Anniversary Sale. However, we still have a few more days until those major markdowns disappear, so I’ll be spending the rest of my week loading my shopping cart with last-chance deals—and I’d suggest you do the same.

    While scouring the retailer's site, I spotted a ton of on-sale items that I plan to wear ASAP. I discovered a floaty midi dress that’ll fit right into my vacation wardrobe, plus a pair of mesh flats that will effortlessly anchor my warm-weather outfits. Since autumn is right around the corner, I also found a handful of transitional pieces that’ll carry me right into fall. From cropped trench coats to wide-leg denim, Nordstrom’s selection is overflowing with styles that are perfect for the in-between months.

    If your interest is piqued, don’t wait another minute to peruse this phenomenal sale. Scroll on to find a handpicked edit of last-chance Nordstrom styles that you can wear this season and beyond.
