It's no secret that French style is often top of mind for editors and fashion lovers in general. Parisian women are revered for their chic, classic style that feels effortless all at once, so who could blame anyone for wanting to emulate it? When I shop, especially during sale times, I like to keep an eye out for pieces that are quintessential to French style since I know they are guaranteed to get a lot of wear and likely a lot of compliments.
This was exactly my mindset when putting together a roundup of the best pieces from the Nordstrom limited-time sale. I asked myself, "What pieces would a French woman buy from this sale?" while perusing the discounted selection. I narrowed it down to five key pieces that would answer that very question.
