What to Buy at Nordstrom If You Have Designer Taste But a Practical Budget

I’ll let you in on a secret: even though designer prices are soaring, fashion does not, I repeat does not have to be expensive. Sure, it’s fun to splurge on something special once in awhile, but on a day to day basis, there’s definitely a cap on my buys. The good thing is, my closet doesn’t suffer for it. After many years of resourceful buying, I’ve identified a plethora of retailers who have continually been purveyors of both affordable and obsession-worthy fashionNordstrom is always at the top of that list.

Not only is Nordstrom adding cool, up and coming brands to their roster all the time, but their in-house labels like Open Edit and Thread and Supply consistently serve up easy, wearable and on-trend fashion at an amazing price point. Whether you’ve got an event coming up or are just looking to add a few new chic pieces to your wardrobe, keep scrolling, I’ve got you covered.
