I'm a Former Nordstrom Buyer—These Chic Items Are in My Nordy Cart

Susie Wright is routinely an excellent source of shopping inspiration. With her popular blog, So Susie, and role as a stylist, she just knows what’s up in the style department. She also worked as a Nordstrom buyer for many years, so she’s particularly well versed in all things Nordy shopping and, as a result, shops the retailer on the regular. So we thought we’d get a sense of what’s currently in her Nordy cart.
Wright actually mentioned that there are six key trends she’s loving at the moment, so she has pieces that fit each trend in her cart. The trends in question are chic and can be mixed and matched with her existing wardrobe.
Keep scrolling to check out the trends Wright is loving, complete with a range of product recommendations that may work for you as well.
1. Bomber Jackets
On Wright: Avec les Filles jacket
"Talk about a cool way to update dresses or skirts! An oversize bomber is THE jacket to add right now, and all the stylish girls are wearing them day and night. I have this one in my cart, and this one too—I can’t decide!"
2. Flares
On Wright: Frame jeans
"I've been absolutely loving the wide-leg-denim trend. Now that it’s springtime, try a lighter pair (white or faded blue) that will go with everything! I have this one in my bag."
3. Puff Sleeves
On Wright: Ganni top
"I know puff sleeves have been around for a few seasons, but they're still going strong. These cool Frame tees work nicely with denim. (I’m going to buy this black one.) I also really like midi-length dresses, especially if they have puff sleeves. I have my eye on this one by La Ligne. They’re feminine and fun!"
4. Trench Coats
On Wright: J.Crew trench
"A lightweight, casual trench is a closet staple, … and it always will be! A good trench works nicely over a dress as part of your outfit or simply with a T-shirt and jeans. I’m currently eyeing this flowy one, even though I already have a few on rotation. You can never have too many."
5. Embellished Shoes
On Wright: Veronica Beard sandals
"Embellished party shoes are all the rage, and I'm loving the ones by brands like Mach & Mach and Amina Muaddai. Those prices are a little out of my range, but I just spotted this one for only $60—now I just have to pick a color."
6. Big Logos
On Wright: Burberry dress
"Big logos are all over the runways. This trend might not be for everyone, and it's okay to skip one here and there. But if you're into it, check out Balenciaga's new Cities series that celebrates locations from around the world. This tote is on its way, and how cool is this graphic tee that goes with it?"
