I Found a Trove of Cool-Girl Basics From the Nordstrom Sale—31 Chic Standouts

Spring is on my mind, and I am dead set on getting my closet in order. My main goal is to update my usual basics with chic options that will help me achieve the coveted cool-girl vibe I am striving for. That said, I recently hit up the Nordstrom Spring Sale, which is guaranteed to offer elevated basics that fit the bill, and I was not disappointed with the selection. Right now, select pieces are up to 50% off, so I made sure to take advantage.
After some in-depth perusing on the site, I came up with an array of standout discounted pieces that can be easily mixed and matched and worn for many seasons to come. Think classic tees, polished dresses, timeless blazers, cool jeans, elevated shoes, and more. Keep scrolling to check out 31 chic basics from the latest Nordy sale that have all my attention. Good luck picking just a few.
European women have me eyeing this duo.
