Thanks To This 40% Off Nordstrom Sale, We Just Got One More Week Of Summer

Friends, denial ain’t just a river in Egypt — it’s the only way we have of coping with the notion that we’ve bid summer adieu. While the season technically doesn’t end until September 23, the passage of Labor Day marks the a symbolic closure of the sunny, freewheelin’ season. And we know that when August leaves us, it takes with it a whole lot of good end-of-season sales. *sad face emoji* We’re pretending it’s not happening.

It would appear that we have some friends in our camp — one of our readers' favorite shopping destinations is determined to extend the season by one more week. There’s a 40% off sale at Nordstrom that’s running through September 8, giving us plenty of time to ease into fall — while shopping for the greatest hits in beauty and fashion as though we’re still in the throes of August. Click through to check out some of the best fall-ready items we could find in the markdown section — they’ll definitely make the seasonal transition that much easier.
