I shop for a living — and this is what I'm buying from Nordstrom's spring sale

It's finally time to chuck those sweaters and boots to the back of your closet and make way for a little bit more color. Spring is the time of rebirth, after all, and there's no better time to embrace a fresh new wardrobe — and there's no better time to save than at the Nordstrom spring sale.

The retailer just dropped the motherlode of deals on thousands of items up to 60% off, so whether you're looking for a few spring staples, year-round basics or a whole new look, you can grab it here while saving some coins in the process. Right now, this Longchamp tote is a steal at $172 (from $430) and you can grab a stellar deal on a three-piece Staub baking dish set (the kitchen favorite is $100, 58% off). And don't even get us started on the iconic Zella leggings, down to $47 (from $59). 

We're using this sale as an excuse to stock up on all the pieces we’ve been lusting over. But you'll have to be quick. While the sale lasts until April 11, certain sizes and colors are already selling out, so act fast to score your favorites at a steep discount while you can.

See below for our favorite steals from the Nordstrom spring sale.
