When it comes to sale shopping, I like to start with the basics. It's a sure-fire way I know I can probably justify a little splurge of impulse shopping—because really, when have I ever regretted reinvesting in the classic staples I wear on repeat? The meat and potatoes of my wardrobe, if you will? 

I'm no stranger to hitting Nordstrom for these elevated basics, from on-trend denim and knits to seasonal footwear staples and perfectly slouchy trench coats. In the midst of Nordstrom's epic surprise sale, I'm here with 42 excellent opportunities to buy a little something that you'll feel good about.

This perfectly slouchy trench is half price. Half price.

Don't @ me, but I love a lighter wash for winter.

This classic chunky chain comes in 14K gold and stirling silver finishes.

More than 50% off these on-trend Adidas sneaks.

A great addition if you already thrash your classic downs.

I've recommended this textured, winter-weight blazer to so many friends.

So good that I'm showing you both color ways.

This Simon Miller tote is a no-brainer for hauling your laptop around.

There will be several great trench options in this story, so strap in.

Grey wide-leg trousers are my current favorite thing to wear.

A little fringe detail to jazz up a classic black wool coat.

The kind of perfectly-cropped tee you stock up on in case Free People stops making it.

Coach isn't messing around with these mules

This *perfect* crewneck cashmere comes in 17 colors.

A perfect second pair of black jeans to add to the rotation.

Currently really into trenches in this soft brown, versus your classic camel.

A fresh sweatshirt for the weekend.

Now is definitely the time to scoop up designer-vibe leather sandals.

When you're into black accessories but want to add a little interest, mock croc is your friend.

I fell in love with this color, but Nordstrom only had an XL left. Still bought it, still excellent. Super slouchy. 

Add jeans and a blazer, and you're all set.
