I Live in Trendy Basics, and I Found the Best Options at Nordstrom's Spring Sale
There is almost nothing I love more than a good sale. Growing up, I would get overly excited when I went shopping with my mother, obsessing over new arrivals and restyling mannequins, and she would say, "If you love something just wait—it will go on sale." Indeed, my mom was spot-on.
Luckily for me, that painful period of waiting for my favorite pieces to hit the sale rack has finally ended. Nordstrom's Spring Sale has arrived, and the items are so good I think I want everything. Since I'm working on building a closet of trendy, versatile basics that I can wear all season long, my focus for shopping the sale was just that.
Keep scrolling through to see the best basics I found while shopping the Nordstrom Spring Sale.
Midi dresses are going to be everywhere this spring and summer, and this one would be great for a date night.
I love a good shoulder bag. This vegan-leather pink one is definitely being added to my collection.
Style these mules with your favorite pair of denim and a dress shirt for an everyday-chic look.
