7 Affordable Buys for a Chic Nordstrom Closet Update

Ever since I started to become a store organizer, my mother gave me everything she bought for me. This year, I expect it will be different. Today, during breakfast, you happily asked me to update the New Year’s wardrobe. Yes, I said yes. What was supposed to be just breakfast turned into a shopping spree, and we logged onto Nordstrom’s website and went to work.

In our scrolling, we’ve always been cost-conscious, with most of our final picks coming in under $100. The goal was to update Nordstrom’s beautiful wardrobe on a budget. This winter, I saw a chic cardigan trend with covered buttons. So naturally, I convinced my 56-year-old self that you should have one. And what looks good with a good cardigan? Cigarette jeans—a once-in-a-lifetime denim trend that has quickly become popular again among the fashion set.
