My mom routinely asks me for lists of coveted items I spot while doing market research. This comes with the territory as a shopping director. While she doesn’t always buy what I find, she enjoys seeing what’s new and cool for the season. This time around, though, she did want to add a few fresh pieces to her wardrobe. Nordstrom is always the go-to, so I pulled standouts that I think would add a relevant, modern twist to her closet. I kept each item at $100 and under and focused on versatile silhouettes, rather than super-trendy buys, so she could mix and match them with her fall essentials.
Below you’ll find the seven items I sent to my mom that I thought she’d like (she already bought the polo sweater). I also rounded up even more affordable yet high-end-feeling pieces from Nordstrom to inspire your outfits this season.
