I Think These Nordstrom Items Could Pass as Designer, But They Cost Under $100

As a market editor and a self-proclaimed shopping expert, I get such a thrill when I uncover something during my search that looks expensive but doesn't cost a fortune. In fact, Nordstrom is actually filled with a variety of these high-end-looking treasures that ring in under $100. Naturally, I decided to round up all of the noteworthy gems for you here in case you're looking for a bit of shopping inspiration this spring.
The range of pieces included in the edit below could honestly pass as designer thanks to forward details and elevated cuts. I'm talking about everything from modern blazers that could instantly add polish to even the simplest outfits to gorgeous sandals that legit look like they would be five times the price.
