A couple of things we know to be true are 1) I love a good basic and 2) Nordstrom is pretty much the best place to buy them. So it should come as no surprise that when I found out everyone's favorite site was having a sale, I was quick to do a deep dive to see which fashion essentials were on the markdown list.
The good news is that there were a lot, but that was also kind of the bad news because you can’t even imagine what it took for me to edit the selection down to what you’re about to find below.
