My Friend Wants a Richer-Looking Wardrobe—I Sent Her These Nordstrom Sale Items

As you probably already know by now, we love a good Nordstrom sale here at Who What Wear. Right now, the multi-brand retailer is having a limited holiday sale, and you can score up to 25% off the chicest winter pieces and designer brands until December 30. As Who What Wear's senior shopping editor, I've already sifted through its discounted offerings from top to bottom, and there are so many chic pieces you don't want to miss.
A good friend of mine asked me to send her some well-priced sale items that exude rich vibes, so of course, I happily obliged! I'm sharing the list with you all today. Below, you'll find the most luxe-looking items from Nordstrom's big holiday sale—from elegant wool coats to sumptuous cashmere sweaters and silky tops—that will make your winter wardrobe look expensive but won't cost a fortune. In fact, all my picks are under $200.
