I often scroll through the new-arrivals section of Nordstrom when I’m searching for chic items to recommend in my various stories. Well, as I recently discovered, the Shop by Occasion section is also a great place to turn to for shopping inspiration.
If you head to that area in the drop-down menu, you’ll notice three "occasions” with curated merchandise: casual weekend, wedding guest, and work. There’s a smattering of A+ finds included in each to suit a variety of styles. For example, you’ll uncover top-rated denim picks in the casual-weekend section, gorgeous dresses and accessories in wedding guest, and modern tailoring picks in the work area.
I thought it would be fun to round up some of my favorite selects in each of the categories. You know, just in case you need something fresh for an occasion coming up.
