I Shop for a Living—29 Anti-Trend Nordstrom Items I Want to Buy Immediately

While I love a statement piece as much as the next fashion person, there's something calming about incorporating high-quality classics and basics into your looks. Pared-down, affordable yet chic looks have been on my mind nonstop, so I've found some pretty pieces at Nordstrom that capture the chill aesthetic. There's no need to worry because I don't plan to keep these gorgeous finds to myself.
I've curated 29 stunning pieces across product categories that can be mixed and matched endlessly to form many anti-trend looks. Whether you're in the market for a little upgrade or a complete wardrobe overhaul, there's something here for you. Keep scrolling to uncover your new favorite wardrobe essentials, from perfect golden hoops and beautiful jeans to sandals that go with everything.
This black LBD is the star of the show.
These pretty golden hoops will look great in place of your more traditional pair.
I'm currently obsessed with these and am adding them to my cart immediately.
Pair with a blazer and jeans for an easy yet put-together look.
