When you go to therapy, your therapist will say they can’t tell you what to do. You need to listen to your inner voice to know what’s right. That’s all well and good, but sometimes it’s nice to have a little insurance, at least when it comes to shopping online. Recently I’ve been checking out the top-reviewed Nordstrom items when browsing its site, and at the risk of making an overstatement, it’s life changing. Considering it’s winter, I’ve specifically got sweaters, holiday-party dresses, and denim in mind. Instead of scrolling through thousands upon thousands of options, I looked only at top-reviewed items with no less than 4.5 stars. It’s the hack of all hacks.
To share just a few of the reviews I encountered: “Fraction of the cost of Agolde but same rigid denim fit.” “I love this sweater. It looks elegant and on point for fall.” “Perfect in every way!” See what I mean? So while I might feel that an item is as good as it looks on screen, now I know. Shopper's anxiety, begone! The 26 top-reviewed Nordstrom items are moments away.
