5 OMG fall shoes to buy for less today at the Nordstrom anniversary sale

The much-anticipated Nordstrom anniversary sale opened up to the public today (whoo!) and it's safe to say the next two weeks will be deal-filled doozies. What we especially love about Nordstrom's annual sale is that the items aren't just what's leftover from the summer stock. These are new-for-fall styles —but you have to act fast. Prices go right back up after the sale ends on August 5. So let's get on it, shall we? There are great clothing items in every department, but today, I'm starting with stylish fall shoes for women. Here are a few favorites from the 300 styles in the sale. Because...shoes. CMP is an rstyle affiliate
