My mother is on a journey to introduce more color and style into her wardrobe. Just earlier this week, we were talking about her strong affinity for all-black outfits and preference for a more subdued silhouette. But after years of this boring uniform, I could tell she was longing for more fashionable, playful options. So, I’ve expanded my daughterly duties to include being a personal stylist too. Her only criteria? Find affordable, versatile pieces that can mix and match with ease. I know just the place to shop: Nordstrom.

As a shopping editor, I have to say, Nordstrom is the ultimate go-to for affordable fashion. From its in-house line, Open Edit, to its selection of budget-friendly brands like Madewell, Mango, and Adidas, I promise you will not only find something within your price range but also a new wardrobe staple. I put together six chic, affordable Nordstrom outfits that are both mom- and budget-approved. Many of which come in under $250. Scroll through for outfit inspiration, and shop standout Nordstrom fashion. Think fabulous sweaters from preppy polos to fashion-person-coded V-necks, designer-like loafers on sale for $59, faux-leather skirts that look straight off NYFW, cool sneakers, and so much more. If nothing catches your eye, I’ve included gorgeous under-$100 Nordstrom picks that are sure to impress.

Below, find six editor-curated affordable Nordstrom outfits to wear now through spring. Trust me, they are easy to style, low-cost, and bound to receive compliments.
