To emerge as a winner during the sale season, you have to play the long game. Sure, it'd be easier to only shop sales on their first day when everything is still in stock. But there's a problem with making your purchases early on—you inevitably miss out on the additional discounts that only arrive after the hype around initial markdowns has cooled. That's when you really need to pounce. 

I know firsthand how fearing a desired size or color option will sell out can sway one's actions. However, if my latest sweep through Nordstrom's Half-Yearly sale—which has been running for more than a month now—proves anything, it's that plenty of stellar items stick around long after the first round of markdowns. If you were savvy enough to hold out on the sale of the season, today's your lucky day. Scroll down for some seriously unreal discounted finds from Nordstrom and get busy. It's finally time to press purchase. 

BRB, I'm busy stocking up on basics. 

Madewell's tanks and tees are unmatched. 

These flats might set you back $48, but the resulting compliments come free of charge. 

Ralph Lauren only knows how to design chic clothes. 

Now's your chance to get a classic designer bag for less than $350. Opportunities like this don't come around often. 

These prove that denim can be formal.

These are the prettiest sunglasses I've ever seen.

This skirt has kept me up at night multiple times in the last month.

The lingerie look will always win out in my book. 

The styling possibilities are truly endless. 

I've been smitten with these pants for months. Can you blame me? 

I can't believe this gorgeous dress is still in stock. 

This top would look so good with a maxi skirt.
