I Went Through Nordstrom's Occasion Section & Found Chic Basics and Party Items

I can always find a smattering of top-notch items when I scroll through the various departments at Nordstrom. When I'm researching pieces to recommend in various stories, I often head over to the drop-down tab and navigate to the "Shop by Occasion" section to find some of the chicest finds for various events and situations. When I was putting together this story, there were actually two occasions highlighted: "Cold Weather" and "Holiday Outfits."
There were actually thousands of items included in these two edits. So I decided to go through the sections to bring you a curation of the pieces I think are particularly noteworthy. Below, you'll uncover a range of fashionable winter basics like forward knits and versatile outerwear. There are also fun pieces that could be perfect for any holiday parties you have coming up. All that and more is coming at you if you keep scrolling along.
