Earlier this year, our editor in chief, Kat Collings, did something that she does from time to time and visited her local Nordstrom to try on dozens of items (in this instance, basics), documenting them along the way. Among her favorite pieces was a stunning yet simple mixed-media dress (meaning that the bodice and skirt are made of different materials).
The top of the dress was a fitted tank while the bottom had a poplin-like full skirt. It was as elegant as it gets. And it wasn't just Kat who was taken by the dress—readers of the story ordered it in droves. At the time, the dress came in navy and white and was part of Nordstrom's in-house line Treasure & Bond. Naturally, the dress swiftly sold out.
The good news is that Kat's eagle eye just noticed that the dress has been restocked under Nordstrom's eponymous brand, and in the most versatile color there is: black. Kat is again singing the praises of the dress, telling me, "If you ever wish you have more throw-on–and-go dresses, let me introduce you to your next smart purchase. I tried on a very similar version of this dress last summer and was instantly impressed with how the silhouette is flattering and easy to wear. Wear it with a sweater now, and come warm weather, you'll be thanking yourself for your new favorite year-round dress." I don't know about you, but I'm sold. Read on to shop the $119 dress (which has pockets!) before it sells out again, along with a few more of Nordstrom's most elegant dresses right now.
