If you read my stories regularly, you'll know I'm a French woman at heart, especially when it comes to my style choices. I also happen to be a very loyal Nordstrom shopper. I’ve been a customer there for as long as I can remember. I write about the retailer so often that I could tell you practically every brand it carries. I’ve maneuvered my way through the racks at its headquarters in Seattle, and I can navigate its website faster than you can refresh your Insta feed. So when the retailer has a sale, you can guarantee I know the best pieces to get my hands on before they sell out!
If effortlessly chic French style is what you're looking for this winter, then Nordstrom is the place to shop right now—and you can find plenty of pieces that embody that nonchalant yet polished aesthetic in its epic Half-Yearly sale taking place right now. Whether you're looking for relaxed sweaters, straight-leg jeans, polished belts, or a sleek trench coat, keep scrolling for a whole host of classic yet trend-forward finds that scream "Je suis Français."
