My BFF Has a $200 Nordstrom Gift Card—I Suggested These Black Friday Sale Items

The Nordstrom Black Friday sale is officially in full swing. I actually shared a range of items from the Cyber Month event that I think are particularly noteworthy. Well, my best friend is gearing up for a bit of Black Friday shopping and asked for my advice on what to consider.
She has a $200 Nordstrom gift card, so I naturally sent her Nordstrom items from the Black Friday sale that I think will elevate her wardrobe. The first three finds below are the initial selects I suggested. I also rounded up a smattering of other chic discounted Nordstrom items to inspire any of your future shopping needs.
