My group chat has been relentless this summer, and I am not complaining. As Tinx would say, it's the summer of outside—meaning everyone is doing whatever they can to spend as much time out in the world as possible. With this newly adopted mentality, my friends and I have found more reasons than ever to go out, and in turn, more reasons than ever to buy new going-out outfit options.

Luckily for our wallets, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is still running and will be through August 9. I went through the sale with my social calendar in mind and found 30 options that work for every occasion, from a low-key dinner with the girls to a proper night out. Scroll on—your group chat will thank you.
