Nordstrom’s Anniversary Salestarts next Saturday, July 18. You can take a look at everything that will be on sale right now and build your wish list — our deals writerMartha Tuberput together aguide of everything that’s caught her eye so far— but as any good discount hunter knows, Nordstrom’s sale section is usually pretty good all the time. Right now, there’s a particularly large assortment of nice-looking sundresses in the mix. (Great news for me, asI’mstillhuntingfor some wedding-guest options.) So I did a little digging and found nearly two dozen lovely options for up to 58 percent off, from in-house Nordstrom brands like BP. to bigger designers like Damson Madder and Marimekko. And: I made sure there’s no polyester in sight.
