As a fashion editor, I see hundreds of new pieces daily, whether they're from the collection previews, the latest drops from the best designers, or the top retail hot spots. I've learned to dig through the wave of endless fashion items and find gorgeous yet affordable styles worth buying. Maybe it's just me, but I'm over mindless one-off buys, even for less costly purchases. If I can't imagine at least three chic outfits with a piece I'm considering buying, the chance of going through with the purchase goes down drastically. Simply put, I'm about all things stylish, affordable, and versatile.
With that being said, I've gotten particularly good at finding a range of attractive styles that look expensive and scream fashion person but for less. Nordstrom tends to have a variety of well-priced pieces, from fashion-forward items to classic finds that will go with so much. Since solid shopping recommendations aren't always easy to come by, I did a little digging and included my latest affordable and versatile Nordstrom picks below. Keep scrolling for my curated list of styles that are so fashion person coded.
