29 On-Sale Nordstrom Items That Look Suspiciously Expensive But Are $99 and Under

One thing about me: As much as I love luxe-looking clothes, I can't bring myself to spend an arm and a leg on a singular item. Sure, the quiet luxury movement has worked wonders for my closet thanks to the wide array of timeless, affordable pieces I've been able to add into my rotation, but frankly, spending $250 on a pair of jeans isn't worth it in my book.
Enter Nordstrom. Our editors' favorite retailer is back to take over our closets thanks to the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale. From now until June 2, shop major discounts on shoes, handbags, clothing, and beauty items. Some of our favorite brands—including Open Edit, Topshop, Jeffrey Campbell, Free People, and Madewell—are deeply discounted right now, meaning it's the perfect time to stock up on all of your favorites right before summer officially kicks off.
With all of my favorite brands being up for grabs, I took the liberty of scrolling through the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale section to find the best hidden gems ringing in under $100. Trust me, you'll want to snatch these up because they're going fast!
Madewell jeans are always a major must in my book.
