My friend was given a $250 Nordstrom gift card recently. While it’s seemingly not a huge sum of money, a lot more can be bought from the large online retailer than initially comes to mind. She often enjoys it when I make shopping edits for her (which comes with the territory as a fashion editor), so she asked if I’ve seen anything at Nordstrom’s Special Half-Yearly Sale that would be worth adding to her wardrobe. Naturally, I quickly compiled a range of gorgeous items to recommend to her.
I ended up sending her four items that I think she’d like best. If you keep scrolling, you’ll find the pieces that I think are chic and versatile (the first four below). If you, dear readers, are looking for even more shopping inspiration, I also rounded up all of the other affordable Nordstrom finds I’m loving from this surprise winter, from jackets to denim to knits to skirts. Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale is running from December 26th to January 2nd.
