What to Buy From Nordstrom If You Want to Elevate Your Vibe and Your Budget Is $100
Is there anyone out there who actually doesn’t want to elevate their fashion vibe, even a little? If so, I envy you! If you're on the same boat as myself—the one in which there's always room for improvement—stick with me because it's so easy to do so. As we always say, dressing in a way that looks chic and expensive (think quiet luxury) is more about what kind of pieces you choose and how you style them than how much you spend. To prove it, today I’ve rounded up 29 finds from Nordstrom that achieve all the above qualities and more without breaking the $100 barrier.
From jackets and boots to sweaters, belts, and more, below you’ll find everything one could want for an elevated fall and winter wardrobe if their goal is to look like they have a secret stylist in their back pocket. If this sounds like it's up your alley, simply keep scrolling to get started shopping my picks.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
