My Mom Only Shops Affordable Fashion—I Sent Her These 27 Chic, Rich-Looking Nordstrom Finds
Earlier this fall, I relayed my mom's penchant for affordable fashion. With winter on the horizon, I thought why not put together a list of under-$150 finds from Nordstrom that fit the bill. When shopping for budget-friendly fashion, I am always on the lookout for rich-looking options that are guaranteed to elevate any closet. Thankfully, Nordstrom has no shortage of standout pieces at this price point.
Ahead, I curated a list of affordable chic Nordstrom finds for winter 2025-2026 that caught my eye. Think elegant coats, cashmere sweaters (they're all on sale for $100 right now!), suede selections, timeless jeans, designer-looking bags, and more. Keep scrolling to shop all 27 picks ahead of the upcoming Black Friday fashion sales.
