My Friend Wants to Improve Her Closet—I Sent Her These Stylish Nordstrom Items
I'm the go-to style resource for those in my friend group. It comes with the territory given my job as a fashion editor. I recently sent a few summer Nordstrom items to one of my friends looking for shopping tips. Well, one of the others in my crew asked for a curated list of pieces I've been into this month. She specifically said she needed to "improve her closet" and wanted fresh items that are trend-driven but still versatile to go with her wardrobe made up primarily of basics.
I scrolled through Nordstrom and sent her 10 items that I think will elevate her current offering because they're modern and effortlessly chic. Keep scrolling to check out the tops, jeans, shoes, and more that I suggested. I also rounded up even more Nordy finds for further inspiration.
My friend mentioned that she wanted a pair of sophisticated shorts. I sent her these.
