Nordstrom is currently holding its Half Yearly Sale and has marked down clothing & accessories for up to 40%. I've actually become a fan of "Mid Season" sales because it gives you the chance to get current styles at a pretty good discount instead of having to wait for the discount until the items are sort of old hats already. Whilst it is entirely possible to score great stylish, but not overly trendy pieces which will last you years in the late summer sales (as they happen here in Italy & Germany), it still is very very nice to have something in your wardrobe that feels current and fresh. Especially because sometimes when you shop your entire package only in the late summer & winter sales it can happen that you do not even get to wear the item anymore that year, depending on the weather. So yay for Mid Season Sales that give us the chance to spice up our wardrobe whilst we still can get months of wear out of the item and enjoy them during our holidays.

Here are a couple of items, inspired by the romantic and bohemian vibes I'm currently digging, that would totally trigger my buy impulse if it wouldn't be under wraps for the Wardrobe Project. And by the way, I hadn't heard of either Mimi Chica nor Halogen before browsing the Nordstrom Sale and both have quite the cute clothing. I cannot say anything about the quality since well, as I said, I didn't know the brand until today, but they do have cute apparel & accessories.

In a previous post I've mentioned that I was/am currently looking for three specific items to add to my wardrobe.

Each of these pieces would be something I plan on being a real "go to" staple. In this case I am ready to splurge, should I find the right fit for me. While I don't do it often, there are some things I am willing to splurge on. That is pay full price and even go a bit beyond my usual average. Pants are one of those things. Shoes would be another. My winter coat too. But if I really, really like it, anything can become splurge worthy.
