Nordstrom’s Spring Sale Is My Hack to an Elegant Spring Wardrobe—23 Finds That Prove It
And they all cost less than $250.


A new season is just around the corner—spring officially begins on March 20—and I’ve been searching for easy ways to elevate my style. Fortunately, Nordstrom’s ongoing Spring Sale is the simplest way to curate the elegant wardrobe of my dreams.
The extensive selection, which features discounts of up to 50 percent, has everything I need to achieve that. My favorite finds include a collection of beautiful, versatile ballet flats and classic options under $100. I also discovered newly added pieces in nearly every trendy spring color, from corporate-core gray to soft pink. However, the sale only lasts until March 24, so I have a few more days to stock up on everything I have my eye on before they return to full price.
Keep scrolling to shop my editor-selected Nordstrom spring sale shortlist. I narrowed 15 pages of items to a concise edit of just 24 must-haves, all priced under $250. Now, you can look fabulous without going over your budget.
I would wear this pinstriped dress to the office in the spring.
The trendy enlarged buckle on this pair of glossy heels screams "quiet luxury."
It doesn't get chicer than this pair of black jeans.
A tweed finish instantly elevates this pair of sweet Mary Jane flats.
If your jean collection could use an update, consider this flared denim pair.
Swap your black pumps for this comfortable pair of Schutz block heels.
