While I do my best to bring you as many amazing finds as humanly possible on a regular basis, it may surprise you to know that I am actually quite the picky shopper. In fact, I’ve been this way my whole life, but I’m fairly certain that my job as a fashion editor over the last eight or so years has only heightened and honed my sense of taste. That means if I show you, say, 36 basics I think are worth buying, you should know that I might have looked at up to a thousand products just to narrow it down to that number. Annoying for me? Yes. However, it’s great for you because you can rest assured that I’m only showing you what I feel is the best of the best.

Now, that brings us to today’s post. This week, I turned my discerning eye to Nordstrom because, well, I know it’s a fan favorite, and we are in peak summer-dressing mode. After scrolling through hundreds of pages, I came out the other side with 39 items (including both clothing and accessories) that I really think you need to see. To find out what made the cut and, of course, do some shopping along the way, simply keep scrolling.

I know this print caught your eye.

Hello, perfect summer pants.

Wear these with everything.

I’ll never get sick of a square neck.

This miniskirt is simple but perfect.

Fresh.

Note the square toe.

Currently manifesting a tropical vacation thanks to this top.

Elastic waistbands make everything better.

These Nikes are divine.

Layer this over everything.

Can’t go wrong.

I can vouch for how useful these shorts are.

This is $15 you won’t regret spending.

Another layering wonder.

Who doesn’t love a set?

I’ve been living in these over the last month.

Wear it to brunch, on a date, to a party—the options are endless.

It’s safe to say I’m obsessed with this bag.

Linen? Check. Halter? Check.

These are essential.

Cool and functional at the same time.

Call me biased, but this is a great bag.

This color though!

Tackle two moods at once with this necklace.

Summer in a dress.

Classic.

I think I have a Staud-bag obsession.

This color just feels fancy.

There’s a reason our editors are obsessed with Agolde.

No would guess these were $65.

Anything terry is a yes right now.

A no-brainer.

Fun, right?

A girl can dream.

Yes, I had to include the black, too.

Why not try something new? 

Another personal favorite.

There’s no better way to end things than with a Reformation set.
