Summer Apparel
Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
Well, it happened. I broke my self-inflicted shopping ban. I had successfully gone three months without making any new clothing purchases, and then I went window-shopping at Nordstrom. I should've known what I was getting myself into; this retailer always has the cutest brands and seasonal finds at accessible price points. Right now, there's a plethora of under-$250 summer separates, jelly sandals, tote bags, jewelry, and so much more. Here are the 30 pieces I envisioned wearing this summer—and now I finally get the chance to.
