My Mom Is New to Nordstrom—18 Early Black Friday Deals I'm Sending Her
In my house, every day is Black Friday.
I identify as a second-generation bargain hunter. From a young age, my mom began teaching me the secrets of the sale rack. While my friends were shopping at Limited Too or Hollister, my mom and I were at the thrift store, sifting through discount racks to find a diamond in the rough.
Two decades later, I'm proud to say the student has finally surpassed the master. Now that I online shop for a living, I've got a thing or two to teach her about saving a dollar. Number one: Garage sales aren't the only place to find a good deal. In fact, Nordstrom regularly marks down their top merchandise to near-tag sale prices.
So ahead of Black Friday—which is my family's equivalent to the Super Bowl—I've pulled together the best finds from Nordstrom's sale section. Here's every discount Mom can't miss.
This jacket may be marked down nearly $200, but it still gives off major millionaire energy.
The secret to a sale bag that looks expensive? Structure, suede, and a good statement pocket.
No one does a statement earring quite like my mom—except maybe me. I think we'd both benefit from a pair of these enamel hoops.
Get that Prada statement midi skirt vibe at a fraction of the price.
Trendy suede clogs at almost $100 off? It's a capital Y-E-S from me.
My advice to any Nordstrom newcomers can be summarized in two words: Free. People. The label can always be counted on to supply quality product at a fair price.
Oval sunglasses are the season's trendiest shape—and at these prices, you really can't afford not to buy them.
A faux-fur trimmed DKNY tote for $95? That's not even girl math, that's just a bold-faced bargain.
Mark me unsafe from the Stanley cup propaganda, because I believe everyone should own at least one. It's about time Mom gets on board.
These silky-smooth sweatpants have held a starring role in my loungewear lineup for the past year. It might just be time to add a few new colors to my rotation.
Tomato scents are to candles what leopard print is to clothes—i.e. this season's trend du jour.
This delicate necklace costs $45, but looks more in the ballpark of $450.
My most boomer opinion is that phone lanyards should be part of every wardrobe. This leather style is currently marked down 30 percent—give it a try and you'll understand what I mean.
It's about time Mom starts moisturizing like a millennial. This La Mer gift set is the perfect place to start.
Yep, even luxury timepieces are included in the Nordstrom sale section.
Even at full price, a pajama set that works overtime as a going-out look is a purchase that pays for itself. At 35 percent off, it's practically free.
I'm by no means a Le Creuset girlie, but at $265 off, even I'm feeling influenced to claim this baby blue set.
Yes, you're reading that right: A cashmere sweater for under $200. Buy it now, while you can.
