As an editor, part of my job is keeping up with different retailers and finding options across a variety of price points. Today, I decided to challenge myself to shop at Nordstrom with a maximum budget of $150. To make it easier to navigate, there are four categories: under $50, under $75, under $100, and under $150.
In the under-$50 category, I found beauty go-tos from brands such as Clinique, Salt & Stone, and Westman Atelier. For clothes, I was drawn to Havaianas flip-flops, a Coming of Age silk scrunchie, and a Skims T-shirt. My favorite item under $75 is Almina Concept's High-V-Neck Tank, and Leset's Cotton Pointelle Slim-Fit T-Shirt is the standout in the under-$100 category at $88.
For under $150, there were plenty of wardrobe staples, including Levi's 501 '90s Jeans, three Paloma Wool tops, and several COS pieces.
Below, shop my favorite Nordstrom finds, starting at $11.
