Nordstrom's New Summer Arrivals Are Game Over for My Bank Account—40 Chic Finds

Ah, there's no place like home... or Nordstrom's new-arrival section. As a shopping editor, it's quite literally my job to spend hours checking the retailer every day for the best finds and can't-miss deals. While traditional big-box retailers often have mass-marketed clothing that isn't always fit for the fashion crowd, Nordstrom is an incredible departure from the pack. I'm constantly amazed by the amount of great stuff I stumble upon while browsing its new-arrivals section. So you could imagine my shock when I did major damage to my credit card when I saw a slew of jaw-dropping finds ringing in under $100. Win-win for me (and for my closet!). So much for my New Year's resolution of spending less money on clothing.
Below, find 40 of the chicest, most elevated summer clothing pieces, accessories, and shoes that Nordstrom is offering in its new-arrivals section. I bet you $5 you wouldn't believe all of these are $100 and under. Happy shopping!
You heard it here first: The unofficial cool-girl uniform this summer is a white tank, white trousers, and a teenie black belt.
These look 10 times more expensive than they actually are.
No joke, I think these are the best cargo pants I've ever seen, period.
If you're in the market for a pretty top, may I suggest this swoon-worthy find?
If your aesthetic is rich auntie, this striped shirt will do just the trick.
Opt for colored pants to add a sophisticated touch to your basics this summer.
Who says you can't wear knitwear in the summer? This elevated tank begs to differ.
Petition to make this top in every single color under the sun.
So easy with a simple white tee and jeans.
In my "hiding from the paparazzi with oversize shades" era.
A seamless crop is essential for layering under button-down shirts.
Everyone needs a pair of slip-on drawstring trousers in the summer.
If you're looking to explore all of summer's viral color trends, this green pair of statement slides would go so well with your wardrobe.
