I've Waited All Year for These 21 Designer Pieces to Go On Sale at Nordstrom
Saint Laurent! Balmain! Maison Margiela! R13! Lanvin!
It's rare, as a fashion writer, that I get to type the words "Saint Laurent" and "sale" in the same sentence. Throughout my decade-long career, it's probably only happened—well, never. That is, until today.
Nordstrom is making this industry anomaly a reality by dropping prices on some of its biggest, most expensive designers—sometimes by hundreds of dollars. But Kelsey, how is this possible?, you may be asking. Well, I've got three words for you: Nordstrom. Anniversary. Sale.
Yep, Nordstrom is offering eye-bulging discounts on Saint Laurent, but the sale also extends to the whole alphabet of renowned fashion houses: Zimmermann, Maison Margiela, R13, Lanvin, and many, many, many more. This means pieces that debuted on some of the world's most exclusive runways can be yours to cherish forever—but at a much lower price than usual.
If there's anything worthy of a thoroughly-researched splurge, it's a pair of bitchy little black heels. With a curvaceous wooden heel and elegant gold dealing, these beauties are more akin to sculpture than shoes.

R13 is the favorite designer of fashion girlies with an alt girlie past. These voluminous shorts perfectly encompass that office siren-meets-indie sleaze vibe.
I rarely ever purchase designer pieces at full price, but if I did decide to break my rule, it would likely be for something leopard print. Thankfully, this gorgeous St. John mini is already marked down, so I can buy without regret.
