A Nordstrom VP on the Affordable Pieces She and Her Co-Workers Always Buy

If you’re a regular reader of WWW, you’ll be well-versed in our unwavering obsession with Nordstrom. From our favorite Nordstrom basics to its coolest seasonal trends and dangerously epic sales, there’s no question we love to wax lyrical about the multi-brand retailer on repeat. While we editors regularly share our most coveted Nordstrom picks, I was curious to see what the stylish employees at Nordstrom—who work day in and day out with products, brands, and design—actually buy for themselves. For the inside scoop, I tapped Red Godfrey, VP of creative at Nordstrom, and asked her to share the affordable items she and her co-workers always buy, along with what they're currently wearing this season. From staple Levi’s and leggings to fun pieces from the Nordstrom Made influencer collabs, scroll below to see her picks and shop some of our editor-favorite Nordstrom pieces for the season ahead. The best part? They’re all under $150.
Comme des Garçons Play T-Shirts
Levi's Denim
"A great pair of jeans is essential in everyone’s wardrobe. Recently, we’ve returned to the iconic Levi's 501 or their Wedgie fit, which gives you a vintage-jean look with a high waist. The other Levi’s fit we love is the Ribcage Super High for maximum waist definition with an easy straight leg."
Floral Dresses
Bodysuits
Zella Leggings
Turtleneck Sweater
"A lightweight sweater is a year-round staple for layering. Think Jackie O by pairing with white jeans and flats. Black and white are forever chic, but don’t miss out on finding a new favorite bright."
Something Fun
Sweats
Tie-Dye
Classic Oxford Shirt
Jumpsuits
