Two things are often top of mind when I'm in the mood for a closet refresh: my love for elevated style and a goal of piecing together expensive-looking outfits. To pull this off, I find myself relying on a chic range of elevated basics that I often scoop up at Nordstrom. Lucky for me and all the other fashion lovers out there, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in full swing, and there is a selection of standout basics that I can't get off my mind.
After taking some time to peruse the highly anticipated sale, I rounded up an array of chic pieces that come together to create a cohesive wardrobe of sorts that I can see myself reaching for in many seasons to come. This includes sleek blazers, cool jeans, slingback heels, stylish skirts and dresses, and other key pieces. Keep scrolling to check out 31 elevated basics that I'm adding to my cart from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
