Just in time for the city's heat wave, Nordstrom is making it even easier to shop for summer. A brand-new Nordstrom Local is opening in Williamsburg on June 26 alongside the West Village and Upper East Side stores. If you're in NYC, that means having access to quick online pickups, easier returns, alterations, and even on-site clothing donations accepted for Housing Works.
As someone who already shops on Nordstrom's site regularly, I'm excited to finally have a Brooklyn location. Until then, I'll be browsing online, and with the temperatures rising, I'm leaning into a more uniform approach to dressing: cotton skirts, tank tops, and pointelle sets.
Below, I've rounded up the chic summer basics currently sitting in my Nordstrom cart—all under $200.
Of course, I need white cotton skirts.
Such a good shape.
I love how this dress is so simple but made more unique with a little asymmetry.
Breathable mesh walking shoes from Camper.
Halter tops too.
So many white tank tops.
I like having a handful of tube tops for extra-hot days.
I know some people have strong opinions about wearing flip-flops in NYC, but I don't care.
Cotton On has tons of chic basics.
Although it's going to be super hot, New York weather is all over the place, so sometimes, it still feels chilly in the evenings. That's when I like to have capris.
As well as a pair of jeans I can wear over and over.
I've been eyeing these Cary Sandals.
