I Shop for a Living—Here's What I'd Buy From Nordstrom With $100
I'm Who What Wear's associate shopping director, so it's my job (and passion!) to bring you the chicest fashion items worthy of your wallet and wardrobe from season to season. I scour the new arrivals at all our favorite retailers daily, and this past week, I've been on a mission to get my wardrobe into gear for summer with a budget of $100 and under.
I started and ended my search at Nordstrom, where I found the chicest summer pieces that feel cool and current and are, most importantly, affordable.
