I Shopped Nordstrom’s Sale With My Mom and Sister—Here’s What We’d Each Buy

by Anna LaPlaca

The group text between my mom, my older sister Jen, and I is a smorgasbord involving recipes we're swapping, photos of my sister's new puppy, and most recently, what we're shopping from Nordstrom's spring sale. The retailer has a very special place in my heart and I know the same is true for the rest of my family—including my sister and mom. For as long as I can remember, Nordstrom has been a go-to source for all things fashion and beauty for all of us, and to this day we just can't get enough.

Since my entire family has been shopping there for years, we've come to be familiar with their offering of wardrobe staples, designer buys, and everything in between. So when Nordstrom announced their latest sale to ring in the new season, I knew my family's shopping picks would be legit. And sure enough, they didn't let me down. From my mom's favorite denim brand for comfy, timeless jeans to the shoe brand my sister has worn to countless weddings, I asked both of them to share what they'd buy from the epic sale. Keep scrolling for all the fashion finds we're adding to our carts right now.
