I'm 28 and My Mom Is 60—We Both Ran to Buy These 35 Nordstrom Sale Finds
I shop at Nordstrom like it's my job, and in some ways, it is. For as long as I can remember, Nordstrom has been my go-to—first for Ugg boots and 7 for All Mankind jeans, and now for, well, everything from Prada loafers to 501s. But like most things that were engrained into my personality at a young age, I'm not the one to blame for my borderline unhealthy affinity for the retailer. (My mom played a role, too, a big one.)
Just like me, my mom is a Nordstrom lover, so when a Nordy sale came around, I knew we'd both end up shopping it to no end. And this time, maybe for the first time ever, we wanted almost the exact same things. My mom and I were 100% on the same page about the 35 finds ahead from the Nordstrom winter sale, from everyday chic sweaters and classic jeans to '90s-inspired suede boots and pretty slip dresses. Keep scrolling to shop them all and get up to 50% off right now until February 20.
Our favorites from Nordstrom's Winter Sale:
Her reasoning: "I've had my eye on this Vince slip skirt for years but always held off. Now that it's over $100 off, however, I'm reconsidering my hesitation. I love the color as well as the overall versatility of a skirt like this one. No matter the season, it's easy to style."
My reasoning: My search for the right kitten-heel slingback pumps has been a long and arduous one, but I think these just might be the ones I've been looking for. I love the neutral leather and the shapely heel, which will make them more comfortable than a majority of the styles I've seen.
Her reasoning: "I haven't wanted a pair of leather pants in a long time, but I love the high rise on these as well as the kick-flare leg, which looks good on me since I'm on the shorter side. I wouldn't buy them in my exact size, but I would size up so they're a little bit slouchy."
My reasoning: I used to work at AllSaints, and the rate at which people bought the brand's leather jackets, particularly the Balfern style, was impressive, especially given the price. They rarely go on sale, so now that they are, I am absolutely taking advantage.
My reasoning: My mom was the one who inspired me to start wearing a watch every day, and now, I'll never go back to not wearing one. Though I have a Cartier Tank that I wear most often, I like the idea of owning a slightly less valuable alternative that's still chic and elegant that I can swap in.
