I Swear By Elegant Outfits—35 Standout Items That Would Fit Right Into My Closet

Every season, I work to curate pieces for my closet that help me put together more elegant outfits. This has helped me to look and feel more confident. Not to mention, it's made getting ready much easier every morning. I recently did a deep dive into the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale section to uncover items that fit the bill. I was pleased to come across what felt like an endless selection that fit the bill perfectly.
I rounded up 35 of my top elegant Nordys picks below. You'll find an array of elevated pieces spanning from tops and dresses to jeans, bags, shoes, jewelry, and more. A lot can be worn now, but I definitely have fall on my mind as well. The Nordstrom sale ends on August 3, but don't sleep on scooping up your favorite picks and revisiting the section. Items are constantly selling out and being restocked with other stellar options.
