I Just Removed Everything From My Sister's Nordstrom Cart—See What I Added Instead

The thing about having a sister is that you share a bond unlike any other. You can be compassionate, encouraging, and supportive of each other and, at the same time, brutally honest and opinionated about everything and anything! Since I work in fashion, I'm always the first to give my sister fashion advice and style tips, and I keep her in the know of what to buy at any given time. She, in turn, loves to educate me on all things interiors, which is her forte.
Last week, my sister indulged in some retail therapy at Nordstrom to get new pieces for her upcoming vacation, work, and social events in the approaching months. I happily assisted her of course, which in sister talk means I removed most of the items in her cart and swapped them with versatile, chic, and fashion-forward picks that I knew she'd appreciate, from day-to-night dresses to elevated basics and of-the-moment shoes. Keep scrolling to see some of the picks I suggested for her that are classic, chic, elegant, and fashion-forward—all of the qualities she possesses.
Full skirts are trending—this one is the perfect fashion-forward piece to wear through spring and summer.
If there's one color trend to add to your wardrobe, it's sumptuous butter yellow.
Pale blue is another must-have color trend this season. I love this silhouette.
These tailored linen trousers are the epitome of casual elegance.
Striped pants are comfy, cool, and trendy. I love wearing these when I travel.
I love the idea of cinching this around a blazer or full skirt.
When you've got nothing to wear, this one-and-done, fashion-forward dress is the item to reach for.
I get endless compliments when I wear these stunning silver earrings.
