Nordstrom's Half Yearly Sale Just Started. Here's What to Buy.

If a bunch of your plans were canceled this week, here's something you can still be excited about. Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale is finally here, kicking off today, December 26. For the uninitiated, this is Nordstrom's second-biggest sale of the year after its Anniversary Sale in terms of fame. Whereas Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale offers shoppers a chance to buy fall styles on sale before the season starts, the Half-Yearly sale is when thousands of in-season looks go on sale. And this year, the deals are steep. Think: Everyday staples and outfit-making pieces from Reformation, Maje, Madewell, and many more for up to 50 percent off.

To help you navigate the many covetable finds on sale right now, we've rounded up a definitive list of 16 can't-miss deals ahead. Word to the wise: In true Nordstrom sale fashion, the looks ahead will inevitably be snatched up and out of stock fast. Don't procrastinate.
