I Want an Expensive-Looking Summer Wardrobe—30 Elegant Items I'm Eyeing From Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale

I'm in my elegant era. This means I'm all about assembling luxurious-looking outfits that ooze wealth and elegance. It's a bonus if I don't have to spend a hefty part of my paycheck to get the luxe look.
Sales are, of course, the best time to build a rich-looking wardrobe without having to pay full price. Luckily, Nordstrom's epic Anniversary Sale is taking place now through August 4, where you can score major discounts on designer and contemporary brands. I've scoured the sale from top to bottom so you don't have to, and below, I'm sharing the most expensive-looking finds that will instantly elevate your outfits, from effortlessly elegant trousers to modern pearl earrings. Keep scrolling for the luxe-looking gems from Nordstrom's massive Anniversary Sale that you won't regret buying.

Stunning pearl earrings will make every outfit look more expensive.
When you want a casual summer dress that's also elegant.
