My friend was given a $250 Nordstrom gift card recently. While it's seemingly not a huge sum of money, a lot more can be bought from the large online retailer than initially comes to mind. She often enjoys it when I make shopping edits for her (which comes with the territory as a fashion editor), so she asked if I've seen anything that would be worth adding to her wardrobe. Naturally, I quickly compiled a range of gorgeous items to recommend to her, so she can jump on Nordstrom's current sale offers—including the much-awaited Half-Yearly Sale, on now through January 2nd with up to 50% off thousands of items, plus Nordstrom's Limited Sale, which has 15%-25% off select items from 12/30.
I ended up sending her four things that I think she'd like best. If you keep scrolling, you'll find the pieces that I think are chic and versatile (the first four below). If you, dear readers, are looking for even more shopping inspiration, I also rounded up all of the other affordable Nordstrom finds I'm loving, from jackets to denim to knits to skirts, and even a few editor-favorite beauty buys that are on sale now.
