Trendy Nordstrom Items That'll Make You Want to Ditch Every Basic in Your Closet

I don't know about you, but these days, when I get dressed, I really get dressed. While my appreciation for quality basics has certainly increased over the past year, when it comes time to step outside of the house, I find myself craving those bold and trendy pieces more than ever before. In case you feel the same, I thought I would make it easy for you and do a little trend hunting at one of your favorite retailers—Nordstrom.
Nordstrom is one of those places that really has it all, especially as of late. From stylish home decor to some of the coolest up-and-coming designers, Nordstrom has got you covered. Well, today I was looking for trends and that's exactly what I found. Ahead you will see a list of some of my favorite forward pieces currently available at Nordstrom. Featuring a range of price points and styles, there is no doubt in my mind that the fun pieces below will have you wondering why you ever chose your basic white sneakers over zebra-print kitten heels.
Get ready for compliments galore.
