More than ever, I have found myself shopping at Nordstrom before I hit up any of my other favorite retailers. I attribute this to the increasingly great selection of budget-friendly yet chic pieces offered on the site. While I will always love and aspire to wear the designer pieces on Nordys, over time, I have amassed a list of chic and affordable brands that I am inclined to shop first.
Within this list are brands like Madewell and Topshop which are a given, but there are a variety of lesser-known brands worth looking at when on Nordstrom, including Open Edit and Treasure & Bond. If you are interested in putting together an expensive-looking wardrobe full of elevated basics that are closer to the $100 range, I highly recommend you scroll on to check out my list of 10 chic and affordable brands at Nordstrom right now that are guaranteed to give you those exact results. You're welcome.
