If you're already tired of winter and just want to wear something pretty sometimes, that's understandable and valid. And finding those eye-pleasing items is made easy thanks to the presence of Shopbop and Nordstrom, two retailers we all know and love. In the winter especially, I'm quite drawn to things that sparkle, shine, and catch the eye. It's kind of a fact that winter fashion can be a bit drab and utilitarian, so when I come across a piece that will add something unique to an outfit, my interest is instantly piqued.
Just for fun, I spend a significant amount of time scrolling through the thousands of items that Nordstrom and Shopbop stock in search of the prettiest pieces so that you, too, can liven up a boring winter outfit with minimal effort. Scroll for the 38 items that were the fruits of my shopping labor. I apologize in advance if you immediately add them all to your cart.
