This story goes out to everyone on a budget this season (myself included). With crazy food prices, sky-high rents, and all the other madness out there, I have to admit I find some serious solace in hunting down cool yet affordable options. With spring on our doorstep, it's a great time for a closet refresh, even if it's just with a few standout pieces. Thankfully, it hasn't been hard to come across finds that fit the bill both in style and price range, especially at Nordstrom.
I went into this with the goal of keeping everything under $100 and was incredibly excited with what I found. The best part is all the pieces look much more expensive than they actually are. I rounded up a great budget-friendly selection of the latest trends and elevated basics, from great jeans to cool sneakers to effortless tops. Keep scrolling to peruse my finds—they will have you doing a double take at their price tags.
