There is almost nothing I love more than a good sale. Growing up, I would get overly excited when I went shopping with my mother, obsessing over new arrivals and restyling mannequins, and she would say, "If you love something just wait—it will go on sale." Indeed, my mom was spot-on.
Luckily for me, that painful period of waiting for my favorite pieces to hit the sale rack has finally ended. Nordstrom's Spring Sale has arrived, and the items are so good I think I want everything. Since I'm working on building a closet of trendy, versatile basics that I can wear all season long, my focus for shopping the sale was just that.
