I Found the Prettiest Under-$50 Items at Nordstrom's Big Sale

It's all about smocking this season.

The off-the-shoulder cut here gets an A+. In fact, our editor in chief is already a fan.

The puff-sleeve trend isn't going away anytime soon.

New LBD, anyone?

The ruching brings a little something extra to this tank dress.

Team this vibrant top with jeans or a cool neutral skirt.

Simple yet quite impactful.

This skirt looks far more expensive than it is.

An upgrade from that standard black top.

Such a cute alternative to a standard trench.

Such a pretty wrap dress for $20.

The V-neck, wrap silhouette takes this bodysuit to the next level.

Yep, peplum tops are having a moment again.

While this turtleneck dress looks pretty on its own, it would also look great with a blazer on top.

A range of tops would pair flawlessly with this printed skirt, including just a simple tank or tee.

Such a sweet spring cardigan with color-blocking.

Remember that puff-sleeve comment above? Yep, wasn't lying. Here's another top-notch style.

Not your average white shirt.

A spot-on button-down.

The longline silhouette and slightly sheer detail take this white blouse to the next level.

A pretty draped bodysuit for that perfectly-tucked-in look.

You just can't go wrong with a floral slip skirt.

There are just so many things right about this top—the ruching and sleeves included.

The buttons on the back are particularly striking.

So cute and versatile with jeans or a skirt.

It's all about the details.
