Over the weekend, I visited Nordstrom’s flagship New York City store and, I’ll admit, my entire approach to shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale changed. While I was scouring the site’s hundreds of dedicated deal pages for ultra-trendy finds and the best designer brands, I realized I was neglecting one part of my wardrobe: the classic, timeless element.
From simple, black pencil skirts to elegant ballet slippers, these 32 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale items are whispering wealth in my ears. If you’re on-the-hunt for a wardrobe that will convince your group-chat that you’ve suddenly and mysteriously stumbled upon a 7-figure trust fund, look no further.
