We've finally made it through the end of the year, folks. Let's all take a collective breath to release the stress that was holiday shopping. Hopefully by now, you've crossed everyone off your list with the perfect, thoughtful and I know that that's no easy feat. Now it's time to kick up your feet, relax, and take a moment or two to yourself. If you're as fashion-obsessed as me, that probably looks like laying in bed in the comfiest of pajamas and scrolling through Nordstrom till you find a nice gift for yourself, because after all, you've earned it. You don't have to feel guilty about shopping for yourself either because Nordstrom is coming through with their Half Yearly Sale.

If scrolling through the truly massive sale sounds overwhelming, don't you worry. I've taken the liberty of rounding up the best of the best from the sale so you can save time and energy on finding your new favorite fashion item. Whether you're looking for a new everyday bag, a trendy pair of ballet flats, or an investment-worthy leather jacket, this list has got you covered. Keep scrolling to see the best the sale has to offer, but here's a warning: These top-selling items won't last long, so add them to your cart fast.
A quality cashmere sweater like this will go so far in your closet. Layer it over button-ups and t-shirts for a bit of extra coziness or throw it over your shoulders like all of the cool fashion girls are doing nowadays. Have your pick from 17 shades including neutrals, trending winter colors, and mega-watt brights.
Chelsea boots are a staple in anyone's closet, but these ones go the extra mile with their exterior. Whether you pair them with a winter sweater dress or jeans and a tee, this boots will be there for you to keep you stylish and dry.
When it comes to jeans, it doesn't get much better than Levi's. The brand is an editor-favorite for affordable, wear-all-the-time styles. Take the brand's Ribcage Straight Leg Jeans for example. The full-length adds a lengthening effect while the high-rise fit is flattering on everyone. We gotta love that price tag, too.
If you're looking for a new, more elevated everyday purse, you can count on Tory Burch to deliver it. The streamlined silhouette is classic and won't ever go out of style, plus it's the perfect size to carry your day-to-day essentials.
Investing in a cashmere scarf like this one is about the smartest thing you can do for your winter wardrobe. It'll provide so much more warmth than your average knitted scarf, and it adds a touch a polish to any look. The best part is that this scarf is lightweight, making it the perfect travel companion on cold airplanes.
Speaking from personal experience, you're going to love this sweater. It's soft, cozy, and warm yet still has a lightweight feel. It's also not too oversized so you won't feel too bulky. I managed to grab the cranberry shade before it sold out, but now I'm eyeing the classic black.
Yes, the ballet flats trend is still growing strong in case you were wondering. If you want to get in on the trend, this is a great entry pair to do so. They're simple, sleek, and look great with just about anything from jeans and trousers to skirts and dresses. For an extra trendier touch, opt for the metallic silver pair.
This is a sweater you'll never get tired of wearing. It's just the right amount of slouchy and oversized to look cool without swallowing you whole, plus it can be dressed up or down with ease. Choose from neutral beige or black, or add a pop of color with bright red and pink options.
The word "perfect" gets thrown around a lot, but here I think it's warranted. These sleek black ankle boots are minimal enough to go with everything in your closet, guaranteed. The sculpted heel and square toe add extra style points, too.
If there's one thing Barefoot Dreams excels at, it's making incredibly cozy pieces. Since you can't wear their viral blankets to the office, this cardigan is the next best thing. It's soft and fuzzy just like their blankets, but the cable detail takes it to the next level.
If you've been on the hunt for the perfect knee-high boots for winter, your search ends here. These beauties are everything you could want in a boot: sleek, easy to style, and comfortable. While this black suede pair is totally chic, there's also a black and cream leather option.
No matter what trends come and go, blazers will never go out of style. Whether your heading to the office, happy hour with the girls, or out to run errands, throwing on this blazer will immediately make you look put together. This chocolate brown shade feels especially of the moment, too.
Another Free People sweater you should have your eye on is this v-neck. The layering opportunities are near endless, and with it's oversized fit, you're guaranteed to be comfy. Just imagine the cozy chicness of this sweater paired with leggings and chic knee-high boots.
In case you haven't noticed, COACH has absolutely been killing the handbag game as of late. Their latest styles are of top-notch quality at actually affordable prices. This bucket bag proves that point. Crafted of rich leather with subtle hardware details, this bag is begging to be your next everyday bag. You can even wear it as a crossbody and shoulder bag.
Leave it to Steve Madden to create the Chelsea boots of my dreams. The 2-inch heel is just the right size to add some height without being uncomfortable and the lug sole means I can wear these in winter weather without fear of slipping and sliding.
Do yourself a favor and take a look at how Nordstrom styled this cropped cardigan. I'm obsessed. With trousers and silver chain jewelry, it's just the right amount of polish to wear into the office. Something tells me though this cardigan would be incredibly easy to dress down too.
MOTHER has long been an editor-favorite denim brand, and with styles like this, it's easy to see why. The patch pockets paired with the flared raw hem make these jeans playful and unique. This would make a great pair of jeans to show off your favorite ankle boots.
