Everyone knows that Nordstrom is our home base for those pieces that anchor our wardrobes. I'm talking about the leggings we wear to every yoga class, the ankle boots that we've worn to death, and the tees and tanks we reach for on the regular. While no closet feels complete without these nonnegotiables (they're called essentials for a reason), today, I need to divert your attention to the trendier pieces the retailer has on offer right now.
Every of-the-moment cutout dress, sumptuous knit set, and sleek leather piece I've come across lately is striking a chord with me in a way no plain basic ever could. Sorry, not sorry! These pieces are really satisfying my itch to load up on the key trends coming down the pipeline this spring, and since I know you're curious to see what's making my heart flutter a little extra, I compiled a list of the trendy Nordstrom shopping picks that are doing just that. Keep scrolling to see the coolest buys that are so good I wish I could keep them to myself (but I won't).
