I Only Wear Items That Are Effortless—These Last-Chance Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Items Are Perfect

Anyone in my inner fashion circle knows my love for an easy outfit that doesn't sacrifice style. To pull this off, I heavily rely on a mix of effortless pieces that come together to create a no-fuss wardrobe that's incredibly chic. One plus is that most of these pieces can be mixed and matched making for an even more streamlined process of getting ready in the morning. One place that I shop first when looking for easy, elevated finds is Nordstrom, and the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale just happens to have so many gems that fit the bill.
The epic sale ends on August 4, so this is your last chance to take advantage and scoop up the standout pieces before they revert to full price. Ahead, I rounded up an array of effortless finds that I know I will be wearing on repeat for many years to come. This includes everything from sleek blazers to cool jeans, pretty dresses, and timeless shoes. Keep scrolling to shop my top picks before it's too late.
These are popular at the moment, but they never go out of style.
The best style for showing off your favorite shoes.
