Do you ever find yourself sitting at your desk, knowing you have so much work to do, but for some reason, you can't get a single thing done until you've done at least a little online shopping? Okay, same, and that's the exact state I'm finding myself in at this very moment (don't tell my boss). In situations like these, we're talking about a quick-and-easy, no-stress purchase—something under $200. So if you're reading this, we're here to help you out so you can get your procrastination-induced shopping fix out of the way for today at least.

Ahead, I went ahead and shopped out all of the really cute under-$200 items I am wanting to buy from Nordstrom right now.

Whether you're in the mood for a cheap summer bag, a new floral dress, or the perfect little warm-weather top, the selection ahead has got you covered. Happy shopping.
