A French Woman on a Budget Walks Into Nordstrom—29 Items She'd Buy Tout de Suite

Ah, two subjects we love to talk about: French-girl style and Nordstrom! While the two things don't usually coincide (as of now, there are no Nordstrom locations in France), we like to keep things hypothetical and fun over here. Today, we're bringing you a French-inspired guide of what our Parisian fashion friends are likely to buy should they ever find themselves across the pond, on a budget, and wandering into a Nordstrom.
Keep scrolling for plenty of shopping inspiration if you're curious or simply love Nordstrom and French-girl style like we do. You'll find everything from sleek staples to must-have Mary Janes and Parisian-inspired basics that are ideal for the current season.
