My Mom Is 63 and I'm 34—We Both Think These Nordstrom Items Are Fashionable
Age has absolutely nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear. After all, it’s just a number. On that note, I happen to be 34 and my mom is 63. Despite our 29-year age difference, we share similar sartorial sensibilities in that we gravitate towards classics with a twist or trend-forward basics. Furthermore, one store we both like to shop at is Nordstrom.
I thought it could be fun to scroll through the new arrivals at Nordstrom when we were recently together for a weekend and call out items we liked. There were 10 key items we both gravitated towards because, as my mom initially stated, they feel fashionable due to their effortless and chic nature.
Keep scrolling to check out the standout Nordstrom items (the first 10 selected below). I also rounded up other items I’m into and that I think you’ll like as well.
