The Nordstrom new arrivals section is full of spring joyfulness right now. (Nordstrom)
Warm weather is just about here and I couldn't be more excited. It's finally time to put away heavy jackets and sweaters and break out those sandals and sundresses! If, like me, your wardrobe could use a little springtime refresh, I'm here to tell you that Nordstrom has all the styles you're looking for. From high-quality basics you'll reach for again and again to statement pieces you can throw on and go, Nordstrom's new arrivals section is chock-full of winners.
I have a pretty packed spring schedule, so this month, I'm eyeing items that can go the distance and be worn regularly. In particular, I can see myself styling these wear-everywhere sandals and this neutral saddle bag a million different ways, while this colorful shirt dress and elevated jean jacket will help amp up more neutral pieces. All in all, I found 16 must-haves from brands like Madewell, Mango and Boden that I'm adding to my cart right now. Oh, and bonus, my favorites start at just $19.
A new month is the perfect time to invest in nice socks that won't rip after two washes, right? This 3-pack from Zella (I love the bright reddish-pink pair) comes with supportive ribbing around the arches for extra comfort.
I already know Zella makes the best leggings, so I definitely trust its sock game! You can also scoop them up in all white or other fun colors like periwinkle blue.
A good quality cotton maxi dress is essential to any closet. Luckily, this one also comes in a super light yellow. Wear it on its own with sandals or add a denim jacket and a pair of sneakers to keep things uber casual.
The frock has a breezy, flattering A-line skirt and a subtle seam down the front to keep things interesting. One five-star reviewer said that the "fabric is soft and thick enough that it drapes nicely and is 'forgiving.'"
Finding heels that are comfortable and stylish can seem impossible — luckily, LifeStride has just the pair. These heeled sandals have a manageable 2-inch heel that you'll be able to wear all day at the office or a wedding.
While these shoes come in four solid colors, this animal pattern caught my eye. Prints like this one are wildly easy to wear and are a great way to add a little extra interest to a basic outfit.
These popular jeans have a cool light-wash that strikes the perfect balance between white and blue — they scream versatility. Another plus: The Ribcage line sports a very flattering wide-leg cut, while the high-rise waist nips you in to give you shape.
Wear them with sneakers and a colorful T-shirt or pair them with heels and a tank top — you're sure to reach for this pair weekly.
This stripped tee may be the best transitional top I've seen this season. I love the three-quarter length sleeves that give you a little extra coverage on those days that aren't quite tank top weather, but are warm enough that you also don't need a jacket.
Toss this baby on with white pants, blue jeans or a denim skirt and there's your outfit — an easy formula you can wear again and again.
During the summer, you'll often find me wearing comfy knit shorts when I'm hanging at home or running errands — they're a much better option on warm days than my usual sweatpants. I'm eyeing this Goldilocks pair from Zella that's not too long and not too short.
High-waisted and super soft, I'm snagging these in beige and navy so I can easily pair them with hoodies, tees and tanks. P.S. They're also my favorite type of shorts to travel in!
A straw bag is a warm-weather staple. This structured clutch is perfect to bring along to a tropical vacation, spring wedding, baby shower or graduation party. It has enough room for your phone and keys and is the perfect accessory to add texture to your look without overpowering it.
Pro tip: Mango has a ton of gorgeous purses at wallet-friendly prices — I also love this straw shoulder bag and this large tote.
There's something special about slipping into a matching pair of PJs at night, amirte? I often change into pajamas early at night and keep them on for hours the next morning, so I don't mind investing in a particularly cute pair.
This set from Bedhead Pajamas is made with a super soft and stretchy jersey material that's also very breathable, so you won't overheat on those warm summer nights. While I prefer to sleep in shorts, this vacation-inspired duo is also available in a capri length.
Slingback sandals are extremely versatile, especially this pair with its moderate heel and fun texture. Slip these on with a sundress during the day or dark jeans at night.
I also love how the pointy toe makes them feel elevated and timeless. Looking for a lighter shade. There's a tan pair too.
This gorgeous suede saddle bag from Madewell is currently at the top of my wishlist. Not only is it the right size to carry around every day, but the light shade makes it ideal for use year-round.
The chic magnetic closure is a pretty detail and (bonus points) the strap is adjustable. Plus, finding a quality leather bag for under $200 is a major win in my book.
A quality T-shirt is a spring/summer essential, and while white is an obvious choice, there's a good chance you already own one. That's why I'm eyeing this pretty pink option from TravisMathew. The classic crewneck pairs with just about everything — jeans, shorts, skirts and leggings — and I love that it's soft and stretchy.
It's also available in black, brown, blue and, yes, white, if you're looking for a different shade.
Come spring, a jean jacket is my best friend. I always grab one on my way out the door — it's warmer than a cardigan should the temps drop and goes with pretty much anything. I'm currently loving this collarless style from Mango.
The dark denim look with patch pockets and golden top stitching is what my spring outerwear dreams are made of — it's sophisticated, comfortable and will instantly elevate whatever I'm wearing.
The Sak is one of my go-to brands for comfortable flats and I've got my eyes on these slip-ons. Available in four colors, including this fun stripe, the cushy sandals feature a lightly padded, vegan leather footbed and rubber sole. Trust me: You can walk in this brand for hours.
The crisscross straps are hand-crocheted from recycled fibers and lined in breathable, moisture-wicking cotton jersey.
I've been on the hunt for a quality belt bag since I like to be hands-free when I'm running errands. This one from Hobo is made of supple leather and looks more chic than the nylon versions everyone wears. It also comfortably fits an iPhone, keys and AirPods.
The strap is adjustable, so you can place it around your waist or across your body. The option is yours!
I love having a few tops in my wardrobe that I can throw on with jeans at a moment's notice. This smocked top is one of them. From the ruffled hem to the slight boat neck, the textured white tank is anything but basic, but it can easily be worn with jeans, skirts or shorts.
The flattering boatneck also comes in black and blue, but what looks better with a fresh suntan than white?
A vibrant shirtdress is the perfect piece to help take you from spring to summer. The long sleeves protect you from the sun and spring winds, but it's still lightweight enough to wear on warmer days.
Since this colorful pattern is the star of the show, you don't need to add any accessories to make this dress feel special. Toss it on and make a statement.
