By now, you should be pretty aware of the fact that I am, in fact, a very picky shopper. If not, here’s the gist: While it’s semi-annoying for me (especially when I have an occasion or specific item to shop for), it’s actually great for you, our readers, because it means I take all my picks and recommendations very seriously. With that in mind, today I’ve turned my laser-sharp focus to Nordstrom’s extensive selection because one, summer is finally here, and two, why not? Whether you’re a "loyalist” who already has a massive wish list that needs editing down or you don’t shop from Nordstrom often (but are about to want to start), I think you’ll find my not-so-little roundup useful or at the very least a treat to scroll through. To get started shopping, simply continue on, and be sure not to quit before you get to the shoe section!
Tops
Square neck + puff sleeves + smocking = a winning combo.
I'd wear this with bike shorts 24/7.
Built-in belts make everything better.
White tops are a summer staple, but I think black tops are equally as important.
I'm so glad the crochet trend stuck.
Simply perfect.
If you're going to buy one "jacket" for summer, let it be a light blazer.
No fashion girl can resist a designer graphic tee—especially when it's on sale.
Bottoms
Loose-fitting and 100% cotton jeans are perfect for summer.
I probably won't be jogging in them, but I will be wearing them.
For when it's just too hot for leggings.
Loungewear meets lifewear.
If you're over cutoffs but scared of Bermuda shorts, this length is for you.
Style this with a slim-fitting bodysuit for a nice contrast at the waist.
Pair this with any neutral tank and sandals and you can't go wrong.
A classic.
Dresses
Just wait until you see the back.
Doesn't this cut feel so classic?
This will look just as chic dressed down with flats as it does with heels.

That not-too-big, not-too-small bag you can wear from day to night.
Shoes
Our readers love these slides, and I think it's obvious why.
Chunky sandals that still feel luxe.
Yes, fancy flip-flops are here to stay.
A favorite among the fashion set right now.
This shade of pink will function as a nude for your wardrobe.
Is it just me or do these look way more expensive than their price tag?
