I Dedicated 6 Hours to Shopping at Nordstrom, and These Were My Chicest Finds
I tend to go down rabbit holes when I shop online, opening up tab after tab until my laptop gets hot and starts humming, informing me that if I don't go outside and take a breather, the spinning ball of death will arrive and never leave. Despite the potential threat, I've never learned to shop online any other way in my 27 years. Take my last full day of shopping, for instance. I spent roughly six hours scrolling and clicking on Nordstrom.com until my computer got so hot it nearly burned me.
One of the reasons why I've never been able to kick the habit is because the outcome is always worth it. And this last time was no exception. During those six hours, I put together a heavily curated shopping cart of 32 of the chicest finds I've discovered all summer, including everything from quiet-luxury staples to of-the-moment buys destined to bring forth compliments. So make my technical difficulties worth it by shopping the contents of my Nordstrom wishlist below.
Slowly but surely I'm replacing all of my scoop-neck tanks with high-neck ones. They're just classier.
The chance of me walking away from this story without buying this dress is inching closer and closer to 0%.
I've had this dress in my shopping cart for, no joke, five months.
I tried these on a few weeks ago and thought about them for five days straight before finally buying them. I've worn them at least four times a week since. So yes, you need them.
If it's good enough for Sofia Richie Grainge, it's good enough for me, period.
You'll never have to worry about wrinkles again.
Did I just find the perfect travel pants? Yes, yes, I did.
The one accessory you can wear again and again and never get tired of.
If you can believe it, these jeans are even better in person.
I'll never say no to an under-$100 linen skirt in the middle of summer.
When the classics go on sale, you don't hesitate.
I've already thought of a dozen wardrobe items I can pair with this muscle tank.
You can't tell from this photo, but this tee is delicately sheer in the chicest way.
I'm headed to Italy this summer and am 100% buying these trousers to wear while I'm there.
