The $80 Nordstrom Dress That’s Causing a Stir in Our Slack Channels

As a digital fashion team, it should come as no surprise that we have a Slack channel dedicated to, well, shopping. It’s a space where we drop the most epic shopping finds that have stood out to us lately and a quick scroll through the recent posts reveals everything from our shared obsession with Miu Miu’s satin ballet flats to Nordstrom’s most expensive-looking new arrival. Which leads me to the topic of today’s story: the Open Edit Satin Midi Dress that my colleague Natalie dropped in the channel. 

If you’re not already familiar, Open Edit is one of Nordstrom’s in-house brands whose forward silhouettes I’m always shocked to see are under $100. The dress I’m showcasing here is certainly no exception. It’s a simple slip dress with a pretty gathered halter neckline and ankle-length hem and it comes in two colors, a sophisticated burgundy hue and a trendier tangerine shade. As soon as I saw how good the dress looked on Natalie, I was immediately impressed and had to check it out for myself.

Clearly, the dress translates off-screen seeing as it looks just as good IRL as it appears online. To shop it for yourself and see more luxe-looking finds I’m eyeing right now, just keep scrolling.

This wine color would make for such a chic wedding-guest option.

2022’s big color trend has never been more wearable.

Not only does smocking give off a fancy vibe but it also makes any garment supremely comfortable.

Little details that make a big impact.

Yep, these look luxe.

Levi’s jackets aren’t to be missed.

From the shape to the color, this little bag is perfection.

Sleek, maxi slip dresses are trending right now and this affordable version is just right.

I had to do a double-take to make sure I saw this sale price correctly.

It’s always a yes to plisse for me.

I’m so into this retro silhouette.

To wear with jeans and boots all season.

I’ve seen many designer versions of this sweater style, and this one certainly rivals them.

Hello, beautiful.

With ballet flats trending again, get yourself a cool modern version.

An unexpected color for leather pants, but it works.

Oooh.

Just a really great blazer I found. 

The elongated cuffs and curved hem make this stand out from the droves of plain button-downs out there.

Chic with a capital C.

I’ve already seen this bag on Instagram a number of times and can confirm that it looks just as luxe IRL.

This cool jacket will hardly be in stock for very long.

Maxi season is approaching.

The high neckline, the ruching, the cream color—it’s all working.

It’s giving Palm Springs in the 1960s (in the best way).

The shape and color of these intrigues me.

In case your office wardrobe needed some updating.

She’s a stunner.
