If Carrie Bradshaw Went Into a Nordstrom, She'd Love These 28 Items

Carrie Bradshaw, the iconic Sex and the City character portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker, has inspired a generation of fashion lovers to channel their inner eccentric fashion girl. With a statement top here, a slip dress there, and always a cool pair of shoes, Bradshaw kept us anticipating her next outfit choice. On my latest Nordstrom shopping sprint, I decided to shop as if I were the icon herself.
To my surprise, it wasn’t as challenging as I initially thought it might be to embody the character. I scoured Nordstorm’s online retail site and identified an array of gorgeous styles Bradshaw would approve of. Keep scrolling to enter your Carrie era.
