If you're like me, you randomly collect basics from various shopping outings rather than focusing on purchasing great staples. I sometimes find it hard to commit to fully buying myself nice basics. Although they are the most important investments, it feels like I never want to splurge on those pieces when I can buy a special, grandiose piece (maximalist speaking).
Well, I'm a frequent Nordstrom shopper, and I discovered that the retailer has a great in-house brand that offers under-$100 staples. From a variety of LBDs to cozy knitwear to toss-on blouses, this brand is a one-stop shop for quality pieces that fit into the budget.
So whether you buy a statement piece and tack on a few basics or go on a full staples spree, I've pulled together a list of favorites from the brand below.
The shape of this blazer says it all.
The cutout adds interest to a classic black knit.
A gray tank is a cool update to the white-tank-top trend.
Toss this skirt on with a white T-shirt and sneakers all summer long.
This is my type of live-in sweater.
