Top Picks For Memorial Day Weekend Sales

Spring Outfit Round Up - White High Neck Bathing Suit

It’s a big sale week this week with Memorial Day weekend upon us. Nordstroms is kickin’ it off with their half-yearly sale and then tons of our favorites have great offerings all weekend long! To save you some time I’ve rounded up the best steals and picks from the sales going on this weekend.

Nordstrom

The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale has started and runs until June 3rd. No codes are needed, you’ll see all the prices as marked online. The sale this time around is a little bit of a grab bag with lots of random items on sale. However, depending on what you’re shopping for, there might be something there for you. Shop the Nordstrom Sale.

There are a good handful of special event dresses on sale. This is great if you have a wedding or shower to attend this year. There’s a good variety from more casual dresses to more dressed up ones as well as some great special even jumpsuits.

Dress Picks from the Nordstrom’s Sale


This WAYF lace maxi dress is one of the prettiest dresses I’ve come upon in the last couple years. It’s priced to fly off the shelves! I am wearing XS.

Another good item to snag at the Nordstrom sale is summer staples. Things like bathing suits, beach cover-ups, cotton tops, shorts, and casual dresses.

Summer Essentials from the Nordstrom’s Sale

The last item that’s always good to check when Nordstroms has a sale is their bags and accessories. There are some great summer shoe staples, including my current favorite Steve Madden Stecy Sandal.  I’d recommend sizing up a half size in these sandals.   There are also some great steals on bags. I like crossbodies and totes for the summer so I added my picks below.
