    Spring is officially here, and the weather is finally heating up. So, now is the time to master the art of transitional dressing. Buying a few winter-to-spring pieces will make a world of difference in your closet, and thankfully, everything you need is currently available in Nordstrom's Spring Sale for less than $100.

    I browsed Nordstrom's sale section to find pieces that could seamlessly fit into my current and future wardrobe. This includes everything I had on my new-season shopping list, from layerable sweaters and button-down shirts to spring dresses and staple denim. I also found basics that will upgrade your workwear wardrobe and weekend outfits, and plenty of pieces that tap into spring's major color trends. I also found some adorable (and on-trend!) sneakers for less.

    Keep scrolling for 30 of my favorite affordable finds from Nordstrom. Everything on this list is discounted by up to 50 percent in some cases, so there's never been a better time to re-stock on old staples—and find some new must-haves along the way. There's no telling when the discounts will officially end, so nab these while you can.
