These Under-$100 Nordstrom Sale Finds Are Taking My Wardrobe From Winter to Spring
25 staples you can wear now and well into the new season.


We're days away from the official start of spring, 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 when the new season arrives and, thankfully, everything you need is currently hiding 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, like pale blue and cherry red. I also found some adorable (and on-trend!) sneakers for less than $150.
Keep scrolling for 25 of my favorite affordable finds. 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. The sale will run for a few more days—until March 24—so shop now before your favorite pieces sell out.
You can't go wrong throwing on a blazer for a more polished look. This one has a cinched-in waist for added shape—and it also comes in black.
