24 On-Sale Summer Basics at Nordstrom That Are Elevated, Not Boring
Give your wardrobe a refresh.
After years of experimenting with prints, patterns, and colors, I've finally stopped trying to defend myself. My personal style is what some might call basic, but I consider it to be elevated. I wear a lot of neutral, simple pieces that work well together. As we head into summer, though, I'm looking to revamp the fundamentals in my rotation that look a little too well-loved right now—and I'm using Nordstrom's May Savings Event to do it.
The sale offers up to 25 percent off a wide range of must-haves, from upgraded editions of your basic white T-shirt and little black dress to on-trend finds like toe-ring sandals, kitten heels, and satin, ballet-inspired sneakers. If you need new summer workwear, I've got you covered with breezy culottes from Vince that I, a very petite person, swear by. Everything costs less than $200 and will add a little bit of spice to even the simplest looks—what more could you ask for?
