I know that fall is on the horizon, but the summer fashion offerings are so good right now, it's just so hard to look away. Two retailers where the going is quite good are Nordstrom and Zara. I did my usual perusal this week and found a stellar selection of pieces that are not only right at home in hot weather, but they also give off major rich vibes as well. I'm always happy to give my closet a wealthy-looking boost.
Ahead, you can shop my round-up of top summer picks from Nordstrom and Zara. Each piece only looks expensive since everything comes in under $200. I made sure to include a mix of classic and trendy pieces, including elevated basic tops, pretty dresses, chic shorts, strappy sandals, and so much more. Keep scrolling to check out 32 elevated finds that will have you look like you're dripping in wealth.
