My Friend Has $250 to Spend at Nordstrom's Sneaky Winter Sale—Shop 40 Chic Finds

Bobby Schuessler  Thu, 07 Dec 2023  Who What Wear

My friend was gifted a $250 Nordstrom gift card. 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 limited 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. I’m talking about everything from jackets to denim to knits to skirts. Nordstrom's limited sale is running through December 13th
