I Sent My Friend These Nordstrom Items—She Couldn't Believe They Were Under $100

As I've shared in the past, I'm often the go-to style resource in my friend group given my job as a fashion editor. We have a group chat, and I often send through links of items I'm loving that I think they'll love too. I recently sent through three Nordstrom items that I deemed as must-haves because of their trend-forward nature and the fact that they looked quite expensive—despite their more affordable price tags.
One of my friends honestly couldn't believe the pieces were under $100 because of the cool and modern design details. And yes, she bought the pair of heels in the curation. Keep scrolling to check out the sandals in question along with the two other items I sent. I rounded up a range of other affordable Nordstrom items if you're looking to add something chic to your spring rotation.
