My 62-Year-Old Mom Asked for Shopping Advice—I Approved These Nordstrom Items

My mom and I talk about fashion quite often. I've actually featured some of her favorite items before. For reference, she's 62 (age has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn't wear, but I'm always interested in her experienced sartorial point of view), lives in the Midwest, and has a style that's classic with a twist. She also loves shopping at Nordstrom and considers it to be one of her go-to stores.
On that note, my mom recently asked me for advice on what she should add to her closet for spring. She wanted that "fashion-editor opinion." She actually sent me links to a few items she added to her Nordstrom cart, and I approved of a few because of their versatile and forward nature. I also sent her other items to consider.
Keep scrolling to check out the list—the first nine pieces below. I also rounded up a smattering of additional finds at Nordy for further inspiration.
Next, check out more under-$100 Nordstrom items.
