I Did Four Hours of Damage on Nordstrom Today—Shop the Pieces That Made My Cart

Yes, the damage is done. In a past life, I would say a state of work procrastination led to mindless scrolling or digital “window shopping.” However, it’s much more acceptable when you make that your full-time job. And luckily, that comes with an expertise for constructing a well-curated shopping cart. 

This time around, my four-hour session resulted in a cart that includes everything from trend-forward footwear to closet classics to match-everything handbags (and more). I’m sharing my findings below to reduce your afternoon procrastination session to a quick shopping break. Happy guilt-free shopping!
