The $80 Nordstrom Dress That's Causing a Stir in Our Slack Channels
It should come as no surprise that, as a digital fashion team, we have a Slack channel dedicated to, well, shopping. It's a space where we drop the most epic shopping finds that have stood out to us lately, and a quick scroll through the recent posts reveals everything from our shared obsession with Miu Miu's satin ballet flats to Nordstrom's most expensive-looking new arrival, which leads me to the topic of today's story: the Open Edit Satin Midi Dress that my colleague Natalie dropped in the channel.
If you're not already familiar, Open Edit is one of Nordstrom's in-house brands whose forward silhouettes I'm always shocked to see are under $100. The dress I'm showcasing here is certainly no exception. It's a simple slip dress with a pretty gathered halter neckline and ankle-length hem, and it comes in two colors, a sophisticated burgundy hue and a trendier tangerine shade. As soon as I saw how good the dress looked on Natalie, I was immediately impressed and had to check it out for myself.
Clearly, the dress translates off-screen, seeing as it looks just as good IRL as it appears online. To shop it for yourself and see more luxe-looking finds I'm eyeing right now, just keep scrolling.

Not only does smocking give off a fancy vibe, but it also makes any garment supremely comfortable.
From the shape to the color, this little bag is perfection.
Sleek maxi slip dresses are trending right now, and this affordable version is just right.
I had to do a double take to make sure I saw this sale price correctly.
I've seen many designer versions of this sweater style, and this one certainly rivals them.
With ballet flats trending again, get yourself a cool modern version.
An unexpected color for leather pants, but it works.
The elongated cuffs and curved hem make this stand out from the droves of plain button-downs out there.
I've already seen this bag on Instagram a number of times and can confirm that it looks just as luxe IRL.
This cool jacket will hardly be in stock for very long.
The high neckline, the ruching, the cream color—it's all working.
