Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
Even in my best attempt to enjoy the long weekend away from work, I found myself wandering into Nordstrom to do a little market research. While I walked away empty-handed, there are a few pieces I regret leaving behind (including this insane Staud dress). What can I say? I'm excited for spring to begin. The turn of the season always signals better weather, outfit freedom, and a fresh batch of styles I've been waiting to test out. But as a selectively trendy dresser, I'm always after the pieces that fit easily into my personal style. Currently, I'm testing the waters by pairing a sequined top with relaxed jeans, a rosette choker with a staple slip dress, and metallic footwear with a classic suit set. It's always a goal of mine to find a balance between wardrobe staples and playful seasonal trends, and I think the following Nordstrom items accomplish just that. Keep scrolling to shop the arrivals I'm most excited about.
I'll be wearing this Staud dress all spring and summer long.
Paillettes > sequins.
These woven slides feel very '90s.
This is a spring-trend double hitter: icy lavender and shimmery sequins.
Pleated jeans with the perfect oversize fit.
You can't beat this under-$200 price point.
Basics that make a statement are it for me.
If I have to opt for pants other than jeans, I'm going to choose these linen cargos.
Get behind bold-shaped bags.
Everything is prettier in pink.
A classic outerwear choice for the season ahead.
If you've been wondering about the sweater in my photo above, allow me to introduce you.
The pretty lace detailing sold me.
A micro-heel moment.
I've always been a gold-jewelry gal, but these earrings have converted me.
It's all about a cinched waist.
If there's an option to build a matching set, I'm purchasing.
Metallic pieces aren't just for maximalists.
Metal-framed glasses are popping up everywhere right now.
I'm always after that French-girl look.
The only Y2K revival I'm okay with is Coach's comeback.
Time for a fresh pair of cropped jeans.
The internet's favorite sneakers in a brand-new colorway.
Fashion Week street style images are chock-full of people wearing colorful frames, but I think colored lenses are far more wearable.
Winter is for neutral knits—spring is for the colorful.
I'd argue this is the number-one trend our editors are backing this season.
ICYMI, Mary Janes are back.
Soon, it will be too hot for a blazer, so this is a must-buy for my office wardrobe.
If silver footwear isn't your thing.
For when black loafers feel a bit too wintry.
