Top 5 Cocktail Dresses from Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale
The Nordstom Half Yearly Sale is on, and there’s lots of good stuff to gush over, as usual. If I have one money-saving tip as we approach the holiday season, it’s to take advantage of this event and others like it to outfit yourself for all those festive parties you’ll be attending.
Here are my top 5 chic little black dress picks from the sale:
If your fancy yourself a sophisticated party-goer, might I suggest the Diane von Furstenberg ‘Manca’ dress, $ 254.90 (old price= $425). The bell sleeves and that high neckline are delish when offset by a short hem. I’d pair it with some metallic shoes, opaque tights, and a flashy cocktail ring.
If you’re daring, this one-shoulder “Trudie” dress $238 (old price=$598) might be your thing. I love the delicately pleated skirt and all that texture on the bodice. I would play this look straight–it’s got enough embellishment, so there’s no need to add a bunch wow-worthy accessories.
If you’re too creative for all black, then shake things up with this Chetta B by Sherry Bloom and Peter Noviello sweater dress $115 (old price= $290). Maybe I’m a little too obsessed with brightly colored legwear, but wouldn’t this look so cute with a pair of purple tights? Do it!
If super-feminine frocks are your taste, this Maggy London Halter à la Marilyn Monroe $87 (old price=$148) might be to your liking. I like the gold hoops the folks at Nordstrom paired it with, but i believe a bracelet is in order too.
If you want to keep it simple and sexy, this Nicole Miller Bateau Neck Dress $212 (old price=$355) might be just the thing. I love the dreamy silhouette–a slim skirt offset by a blouson top. This is great for adding curves athletic body types. And it has pockets!

Hey Jim, if you still want that dress for your wife and don’t want another from Nordstroms, you should try bridal shops. (See which ones are near you by checking http://www.gatheringguide.com/ec/bridal_shops_dresses.html). Sometimes they will have batches of dresses that aren’t still available in other stores– it’s how I got mine.
