Ah, three subjects I love to talk about: French-girl style, a great sale, and Nordstrom! If you love all three as much as I do, then you've come to the right place. Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale officially starts on July 18 and runs until August 9, and if you happen to be part of Nordstrom's loyalty program, the Nordy Club, then you'll get access to the sale right now. For the past few weeks, I've been combing through the deals from top to bottom to see what's worth buying.
This year, I'm approaching my shopping with a game plan, predominantly seeking out classic and elevated basics that exude an effortlessly chic French-girl aesthetic. Below, you'll find everything from relaxed button-downs to straight-leg jeans and cashmere sweaters that I'm pretty certain our Parisian friends would buy if they should find themselves shopping Nordstrom's epic Anniversary Sale. Keep scrolling for plenty of great deals.
