I'm My Bestie's Stylist—I Sent Her 7 Stylish Outfits From Nordstrom That I Created for Under $250

I find myself scrolling through Nordstrom at least once a day. This leaves me with a mental index of all the gorgeous finds and deals. When my bestie, who is notorious for saying "I have nothing to wear," asked me for style advice, I not only came to her rescue with these standout Nordstrom pieces, but I also put together seven chic ensembles for under $250—ready for her to shop. That's what's coming your way below.

PS: Keep your eyes peeled for the fashion-forward styles on sale thanks to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. These major deals end on August 3.

Outfit 1

Pendant necklaces are the It accessory of the summer, according to fashion people. Our editors are loving the metallic addition. You are bound to get compliments when you pair it with basics like this black tank and chic poplin skirt.

I am absolutely in love with this soft, silky, and rich-looking ensemble. The blush cashmere crewneck exudes elegance, and the lace-trim slip skirt is very fashion person coded. I've spotted the lace-trim trend everywhere from Paris to NYC, and next, it'll be in your closet.

This is the chicest color combo ever—just one shopping editor's opinion. With an Old Hollywood feel thanks to the Audrey Hepburn–inspired shades, the button-front camisole and lightweight shorts add a modern twist.

Outfit 6

Summer is linen's time to shine. Breathable and casual, this summer-ready 'fit should definitely be on your radar. The addition of a silk scarf instantly elevates your look, and it's a great way to add in a print or pop of color. Also, these Havaianas are definitely going to sell out. I'm calling it now.

Outfit 7

There is nothing more classic than a pair of blue jeans and a crisp white T-shirt. I've opted for suede boots and a canvas tote for this casual pairing to make it more timeless and polished. I told my bestie that this should be her go-to 'fit come fall.
