I really try to spend my money wisely. But the second that Nordstrom has a sale, any self-control I have goes out the window and my credit card “magically” emerges from my wallet. Right now, the department store is having their massive Half-Yearly Sale until Sunday, June 3.

There are so many trendy pieces of clothing that are up to 40% off, so you can finally get those dresses, tops, and skirts you’ve been eyeing before the summer season. Here are the best deals (that aren't sold out yet) that you'll want to buy from Nordstrom immediately.

1. A nautical strapless dress for vacation photoshoots

I picture myself wearing this dress posing on the coast of Greece (a girl can dream, right?). The seersucker stripes and super-cute tie front add a nautical vibe that’s perfect for summer.

7. A bold top with plenty of flair

Peplum is one of my favorite styles because it accentuates your waist, making you look slimmer. And all eyes will be on you with the bold color of this top.

8. An eye-catching floral dress

I think this dress would be perfect for a summer wedding—without overshadowing the bride, of course. The fun pattern and flared bottom will be a winner on the dance floor, too.
