I'm a Fashion Editor, and These Are the Under-$50 Nordstrom Items I'd Buy

I love Nordstrom as much as the next fashion girl, but my one complaint would be that it simply has too much to choose from (which isn't really a complaint, but I digress). It's one of those one-stop shops that basically has everything you could possibly need or want to fill your closet, beauty product collection, or home with. But most of what I purchase from Nordstrom is of the clothing, shoe, or accessory sort. (Shocking, I know.) So just for fun, I spent more time than I'd like to admit combing through the thousands of items on Nordstrom with the goal of finding only the best ones in the under-$50 price range.
My search proved to be fruitful, as I found a plethora of T-shirts, shoes, activewear, and accessories that I'd admittedly pay more than $50 for. I hope you have as much fun shopping these items as I had choosing them. Keep scrolling to let the aforementioned fun begin.
Celebs are wearing Dickies now, so I guess we're all wearing Dickies now.
Next up, the under-$50 Zara shoes I'd buy.
