The minute I hear there is a Nordstrom sale happening, you best believe that I am going to mosey over to the site to scope things out. The urgency is real since I don't want to miss out on the best on-sale pieces before they sell out in my size. That being said, I got a great look at Nordstrom's winter sale selection, and it is stellar to say the least. Get up to 50% off right now until February 20. Lucky for you, I kept a running list of what caught my eye, and right now, I am all about elevated basics.
In fact, when I shop a sale, I always keep my eye out for these five basics in particular because they're essential in creating a chic, elevated wardrobe. Think timeless button-downs, cool jeans, effortless shoe styles, and more. What's great is that these key pieces can easily be mixed and matched to make for easy dressing this season and beyond. Keep scrolling to peruse five elevated basics worth scooping up from the latest Nordstrom sale.
