Ever since I returned from Europe a few weeks ago, I can't stop thinking about my next vacation . Part of my wanderlust comes from seeing new places, but it's also because of the chic vacation outfits I get to wear while abroad—after all, half the fun of any getaway is curating the packing list —and my next one has to be on a budget. I'm not worried, though, because Nordstrom 's latest sale has so many great vacation finds for under $100 .

The May Savings Event has arrived, bringing up to 25 percent off thousands of deals across every major category. I'm using it as a chance to build my dream vacation wardrobe —for whenever I book the next one. My cart is stocked with every kind of summery dress imaginable, from linen styles to elegant white dresses . I'm also picking up elevated basics like linen pants and tank tops for easy styling. Of course, I didn't forget about trending summer shoes , either.

Whether you have an upcoming getaway or not, the on-sale vacation wear at Nordstrom is too good to pass up.…
