Nordstrom just launched a limited-time sale (basically a surprise sale!), and it’s epic. There are so many fantastic deals on offer right now. Yep, these major discounts are all happening ahead of the actual Black Friday.

One of my friends recently asked if I’d spotted anything chic lately that she should consider. She was looking for a few cool basics, to be specific. I mentioned the Nordstrom sale to her and pulled five chic items (the first assortment in the edit below) that I thought she’d like.

Keep scrolling to check out the pieces I sent over to my friend along with other discounted finds I think are fantastic from the Nordstrom sale.
