Pictured: Mango Lulu Vest ($80)
As the unofficial personal shopper for my friends and family (it comes with the territory as a shopping director), I regularly receive style questions. One of my friends recently messaged me about spring shopping. She specifically said that she wanted a few pieces that give off an elegant and rich vibe, but she didn't want to pay luxury prices for said pieces.
I should also mention that she prefers shopping at Nordstrom. With that in mind, I scrolled through the site and sent her five items to help create those wealthy-looking outfits. The selects in question are elevated and feel forward with modern design details (giving off that expensive-looking vibe) but ring in under $100. Keep scrolling to check out the edit in question along with a smattering of other rich-looking yet affordable pieces from Nordstrom.
This vest looks so expensive thanks to the modern shape and buttons.
My friend thought this blazer would cost way more money than it does.
And here are the coordinating trousers!
Designer-looking sunnies.
The texture is noteworthy here.
Okay, it's $4 over, but it's too sharp not to share.
The draping is so pretty.
Talk about cool.
Adore this silhouette.
The perfect finishing touch.
Wear this sweater as is or draped over your shoulders.
The mock-neck and sleeve length are elegant.
A+ jeans.
Very pretty.
Gorgeous sandals.
The pointelle fabric takes this top to the next level.
Fresh barrel jeans, anyone?
Perfect for spring.
Cute!
Store all of the essentials.
Bouclé always looks expensive.
The details!
Darling with everything from trousers to jeans.
