As I transition my wardrobe from winter to spring, I’ve set a strict budget for myself. I love a trendy piece as much as the next fashion-obsessed shopper, but I’m opting for wear-everywhere basics instead of flash-in-the-pan pieces. So, I took to Nordstrom’s sale section to fill my cart with summer wardrobe staples under $ 100 that I can rely on.
My favorite finds cover every major category. There are linen pants and dresses that I know I’ll wear on vacation, sandals to replace my favorite Adidas sneakers, and a few pretty tops that I can easily incorporate into my weekday rotation. I also discovered several pairs of trendy Vans sneakers for less than $50 (including a Jennifer Lawrence-inspired pair) and affordable silver earrings that look surprisingly luxe.
