There is nothing quite like a night on the town. Whether you’re going on a first date, wining and dining on fancy fare, or even headed to the ballet, there’s something magical about a rendezvous under the stars. I don’t know about you, but a killer look paired with the feeling of having the whole night ahead of me is unlike any other. To achieve said look, I love to dig through Nordstrom’s tried-and-true virtual aisles for looks that will take someone’s breath away. I’ve hand-picked a slew of chic going-out clothes from Nordstrom that are flying off the shelves.
Ahead, shop lingerie-inspired pieces, silky fabrics, and showstopping styles that are made for shining in the moonlight. Keep scrolling for sleek dresses, sultry tops, and so much more.
