My classic style relies on the basics—like perfect-fitting jeans and wear-everywhere button-downs. They make getting dressed easier, and everything pairs well together.

Shopping has been on my mind as we head into the new spring season, and my closet could use an upgrade since I’ve worn the same few pieces for months—it's that time of year when my favorite white T-shirts look dingy, and my cashmere knits feel worse for wear. I like to invest in staples, but I try to do so on a budget when my wardrobe needs refreshing. I turn to Nordstrom when in doubt because I can effectively replace my most worn items for $100 or less.

I'm hunting for chic pieces to wear to the office and to cure my hankering for newness, so I rounded up a complete spring capsule wardrobe from Nordstrom that you can buy now and wear forever.

Ahead, shop for all my favorite affordable wardrobe finds on Nordstrom's site. While timeless pieces comprise a large portion of the list, it also includes new spring trends, like dark-wash denim and nautical-inspired cardigans.
