I'm competitive by nature. Not the kind of competitive that playing a game with me is a drag, but enough so that I don't like to settle. For better or worse, this trait comes out in several areas of my life, not the least of which is clothes shopping. When I find a desirable piece that I know is going to be here today gone tomorrow, I can't help but feel the heat to get my hands on it.
There are severalNordstrom pieces that I currently feel this way about and I'm pretty sure you will too. You've been on the hunt for a red knit sweater? Well, I've found the perfect pullover mockneck. You'd like to get in on the barrel leg jeans trend? I've got you there, too. There's also a pair of grommeted kitten heels I've included on multiple shopping lists because...they're that good. So, if you'd like to take a break from all the holiday hoopla to treat yourself, have at it! I can say with the utmost certainty these pieces will sell out come January.
