It Takes a Lot to Impress Me, But These J.Crew and Nordstrom Items Blew My Mind
I'll be the first person to admit that I tend to err on the picky side. Looking back, I've always been this way. And while I've grown out of it when it comes to most things, my high standards around all things fashion related have never, ever faltered. Luckily, in my line of work, that's a plus rather than a demotion because my tendency to get choosy is exactly what allows me to narrow down the literal millions of garments, shoes, handbags, jewelry items, and more that are currently being offered up on the open market to just the ones you really need to see.
This week, I did exactly that, but instead of sourcing from every which retailer under the sun, I decided to zero in on the two with the best selection so far this summer: Nordstrom and J.Crew. But don't just blindly take my word for it. Ahead, see me prove my point with the help of 29 linen tops, ballet flats, maxi skirts, wide-leg jeans, sundresses, and more that genuinely blew my mind when I scrolled past them.
White trousers are at the very top of my summer wish list.
I'm never not going to be obsessed with this shade of red.
Toting around every small thing you might "need" has never looked so chic.
Practically every WWW editor owns this skirt. Can you really blame us though?
These look just like a $400+ pair of sunglasses I own.
When your pool cover-up can double as a dinner-date look, you buy it in all three colors.
Everyone needs a linen shirt in the summer. It's practically law.
There's nothing easier to slip on in the summer than a white sundress.
This skirt is simply too good to scroll past without taking action. It wouldn't be right.
Someone stop me from writing a love letter to this dress.
This sculpting tank could easily be $290 instead of $29, and I wouldn't question it.
I feel a bit sick at the fact that these aren't hanging in my closet.
I have these in both gold and silver, and they each share custody of my ears.
You won't regret pressing purchase if this skirt is in your cart.
