When it comes to my wardrobe choices, my tight-knit circle of fashion friends is the first to hear. Like all 20-somethings, we have a chaotic group chat used for weekly happy-hour planning, venting about dating, and, naturally, thoughts on impulse shopping. This week’s topic of discussion was spring wardrobe selects from Nordstrom.
I always joke that being Gen Z is my style North Star when it comes to choosing my clothing, but it couldn’t be any truer. Now that the temperatures are rising and I’ve already turned over my entire wardrobe, my friends were my go-to sources of inspiration to talk me into (or out of!) purchases I knew weren’t going to last more than a month or two. If you can’t trust your besties to talk you out of buying a questionable outfit, what can you trust them with?
Naturally, Nordstrom’s spring arrivals and new offerings were more than cool enough to satisfy my shopping craving and the taste of my friends. Below, shop all of the items that got glowing reviews and heart reactions from my picky editor friends. Trust me—you’ll thank me later.
