I don't know what it is about this current season, but the shopping is exceptionally good. As a professional shopper of sorts, I have been so impressed by everything I come across, and it's made it tricky to decide what to commit to buying. On one hand, I want to hold out to see what else is coming down the pipeline, but I certainly don't want to miss out on getting what really has my attention—which leads me to where I'm at now. I'm sitting here reminiscing and reconsidering a bunch of the pieces I regret not buying this week.
Three retailers in particular come to mind with my current shopping predicament: Nordstrom, H&M, and Zara. Each is well-known for stocking everything from trendy to timeless finds that fashion people love. Below, you'll get a glimpse into my virtual shopping cart, which is overflowing with cool jeans, standout sweaters, pretty dresses, sleek shoes, and so much more. Keep scrolling to check out 30 incredibly chic finds from Nordstrom, H&M, and Zara.
