I often become a personal stylist for those in my friend group. It comes with the territory since I work as a fashion editor. And yep, I love it. On that note, one of my best friends mentioned that she's looking to add a few items to her wardrobe. In particular, she wanted ideas for transitional pieces that she could wear in late summer and into fall. Given that she loves Nordstrom and the Anniversary Sale officially launches on July 17, I sent her my shopping list filled with discounted pieces.
Ahead, you'll uncover the seven items I sent to my friend for consideration. Included in the mix? There's an amazing denim silhouette, a sleek jacket style, and great shoes. I thought I'd round out the curation for further inspiration, so you'll find even more fantastic picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale if you keep scrolling.
