You know when you see someone who's just cool without really trying and looks put-together and trendy all at once? That's the "fashion person" look. There's more to it than just that, but you get what I mean. Most people weren't really born with this look. It takes some smart shopping to get a cool, curated wardrobe that shows you know what you're doing. And if you're a person who likes to shop at Nordstrom, I'm here with the good news that there are lots of "fashion person" items in stock, many of which aren't going to blow your shopping budget in one fell swoop but are good enough to become wardrobe staples this season.
So where to begin? Nordstrom's vast inventory can be quite overwhelming, but since I'm someone who studies fashion people for a living, I have a knack for finding pieces they wear. Below, I've listed an epic blazer, perfect straight-leg jeans, highly rated slingback kitten heels, and so much more—all priced at under $150. Scroll to shop them all.
