As the unofficial personal shopper for my friends and family (it comes with the territory as a shopping director), I regularly receive style questions. One of my friends recently messaged me about spring shopping. She specifically said that she wanted a few pieces that give off an elegant and “rich vibe,” but she didn’t want to spend luxury pricing on said pieces.
I should also mention that she prefers shopping at Nordstrom. So with that in mind, I scrolled through the site and sent her five items to help create those wealthy-looking outfits. The selects in question are elevated and feel forward with modern design details (thus giving off that expensive-looking vibe), but ring in under $100. Keep scrolling to check out the edit in question, along with a smattering of other rich-looking yet affordable pieces from Nordstrom.
This vest looks so expensive thanks to the modern shape and buttons.
