28 Under-$100 Staples My 60-Year-Old Mom and I Want You to Buy From Nordstrom

I recently highlighted some of the basic trends my 60-year-old mom is currently shopping for at Nordstrom—the retailer she loves because they have something for anyone with any style. Given that I also often turn to the mega-retailer for my essentials, I thought it could be fun to showcase the staples both of us are currently feeling. However, I’m not talking about just random items here, but rather those extra-special finds that look expensive though ring in under $100.
Given that we’re both in different cities at the moment, I ended up sharing with my mom a range of items I’m loving (many of which I want to recommend to my friends), and she did the same back. I then combined them together to bring you an edit of the 28 top Nordstrom pieces we think may be of interest to you. And yes, my mom is 60 (and I’m in my 30s), but as you’ll see, all of the essentials coming your way could absolutely work for anyone at any age. Because remember, age is legitimately just a number.
There’s an under-$100 matching cardigan to go with this tank as well.
I basically want everyone to wear flares at the moment.
