I'm a new mom, which, for those of you who aren't new moms, means I do a lot of scrolling when it comes to shopping for myself and not a lot of buying these days. They told me a baby was expensive, and they were right. While my son is the best thing that's ever happened to me, it goes without saying that my spending habits have changed. I still love clothes, but since I now have more pressing items, like a toy shell phone, to buy, I have to be more strategic about my clothing buys than I used to be.
Enter Nordys. Regardless of why you're on a budget, Nordstrom consistently offers a wide range of chic yet affordable options that make this very tired mom feel like the cat's meow. A word to the wise: Don't sleep on its in-house brands Open Edit and Treasure & Bond. Both have excellent basics that wind up being steeply discounted much of the time. If you've come this far and you'd like to see what I'm currently obsessing over, don't stop here! My favorite 32 new Nordstrom pieces that won't break the bank are just below.
A call to arms I would answer.
I never thought I was a vest person until now.
The flare of this maxi skirt really takes the drama up a notch.
Long live cute shoes under $100!
I've been on the hunt for some chocolate-brown cords, and these fit the bill.
Schoolyard chic.
The bigger the blazer, the better.
A minimalist's dream.
This is one of those basics everyone needs in their closet.
Indigo denim is emerging as an early 2024 trend.
Bell sleeves and a bold pattern? Count me in.
A great transitional item come spring.
I'm over black sunglasses—these are too fun.
All I need is a ticket to my next sunny vacation, and we're golden.
TBH, you can't beat a faux-leather jacket that looks this high-quality at this price.
These have a bit of a Tory Sport retro feel to them, which I'm loving.
Preppy chic forever.
Digging the darker wash of these jeans.
Silver shoes don't appear to be going anywhere, so I'd get on board.
Every fashion person seems to be wearing a fitted cardigan in this shade of brown right now.
I'd wear this scarf with a to-the-floor coat and sneakers.
I can't get enough of wide-leg trousers these days.
Okay, this costs more than your average T-shirt, but you know it'll last longer than its less expensive counterparts.
Taupe is a great neutral color you don't see on a button-down every day.
Patent leather, please!
Just in time for Valentine's Day.
A great fit.
If you haven't noticed, I'm a Mango gal.
I can't stop including this sweater in shopping guides. I love it so much.
I keep imagining a rich mom in these and a long cashmere cardigan, and I want the look.
Eat your heart out, Amelia Earhart.
