Sure, we might not be properly going out for a while, but when the time comes the last thing you want to say is, “I don’t have a thing to wear.” The chaos of this year is yielding some intense, unexpected sales. Let’s utilize them with an eye on better days, just beyond the horizon.
Today’s surprise: Nordstrom Rack just slashed an additional 25 percent off dresses, today only. This is a great opportunity to gift yourself and others something special at a great price. Many of these dresses are already radically marked down. You’re going to be shocked when you see the numbers.
Sizes and styles are going fast, so shop now (you’ll be bummed out if the current vast range of options is picked over by the time you get in there).
Never underestimate the power of a pretty dress to lift your spirits. That’s a quote from Emerson. Not really, but it’s a truth we can all agree on. Now get scrollin’. Here are our favorites from the new Nordstrom Rack sale
As comfy as whatever you’re wearing on Zoom calls right now, this smart mockneck sweater dress makes you feel human again. It’s a great transition back to getting dressed for real. We love these colorblock neutrals—so sophisticated—but we’re also drawn to the other option, in autumnal shades like plum and berry. At this price, you might need both. Machine washable.
Another incredibly comfortable option, this piece will one day serve you well on the beach or on a cool summer evening (ah, vacation). Meanwhile, it’s lovely to lounge in at home, in an easy washable knit with a loose, flowy fit. Also in black and heather gray—all priced at a mind-boggling $17.
Don’t know about you, but we’ve got some rescheduled weddings to attend in fall of 2021—and even if not, you know that folks will be gathering as much as possible as soon as its safe (we miss each other!). This maxi dress is so easy to wear yet so incredibly festive. You don’t really have to think about shoes or jewelry or even do much with your hair. It’s all right here, in one piece. Meanwhile, it makes a great show for online gatherings—and a fantastic, exciting gift. Made in the USA.
If you love the coziness of a sweater dress, here’s a sumptuous one you’ll grab and slip into all the time—at a third of its normal price. Wear it with leggings and winter boots for errands—super-cute—and when the time comes style as above, with tall boots, heeled or flat. Machine washable, and also available in a beautiful, sophisticated shade of camel.
Fitted on top, flowy on the bottom, with a slight flare to the sleeves and a high waist, this slip-on dress was definitely designed by someone who knows how to flatter a woman’s body. In a soft rib knit, it feels like a sweater, but moves like something from a 1940s film. This is another one of those pieces we can all use indoors—an upgrade from sweats but just as comfortable—while we’re hunkered this winter. The ultimate “dressing gown” and later, a versatile work-to-weekend dress.
In silky rayon, this Max Studio plaid dress is kind of brilliant. It has the crisp lines of a shirt dress, but the generous flow of a party piece. For anyone who has always wanted to wear a shirt dress but has struggled with the fit (hello buttons pulling over the bust!), this is a boon. And $30 for a Max Studio dress? Yes, please.
Every once in a while a perfectly flattering trend comes along, and when that happens, we like to jump on it. Balloon sleeves are that trend right now—they’re easy, feminine, and grownup— and they make a dress (or top) look current and chic. This wrap dress, which features the aforementioned sleeve-of-the-moment, is a beaut on all counts. The fabric is a tiny graphic print (hard to see, so zoom in when you click), and you can choose from the burgundy above or two variations of black. You’ll be thrilled you bought this (for just $30) when date-nights return.
