Nordstrom Secretly Put These Under-$100 Finds on Sale—Shop Them Before They Sell Out
30 staples you need.


Spring is officially here, and the weather is finally heating up. So, now is the time to master the art of transitional dressing. Buying a few winter-to-spring pieces will make a world of difference in your closet, and thankfully, everything you need is currently available in Nordstrom's Spring Sale for less than $100.
I browsed Nordstrom's sale section to find pieces that could seamlessly fit into my current and future wardrobe. This includes everything I had on my new-season shopping list, from layerable sweaters and button-down shirts to spring dresses and staple denim. I also found basics that will upgrade your workwear wardrobe and weekend outfits, and plenty of pieces that tap into spring's major color trends. I also found some adorable (and on-trend!) sneakers for less.
Keep scrolling for 30 of my favorite affordable finds. Everything on this list is discounted by up to 50 percent in some cases, so there's never been a better time to re-stock on old staples—and find some new must-haves along the way. There's no telling when the discounts will officially end, so nab these while you can.
You can't go wrong throwing on a blazer for a more polished look. This one has a cinched-in waist for added shape—and it also comes in black.
Spring office dressing doesn't get easier than this dress. All you need is a pair of slingback heels and a trusted laptop bag and you're good to go.
Say goodbye to boot season with a pair of wear-everywhere ballet flats.
Prepare for the maxi denim skirt comeback this spring—they're the perfect transitional piece as they're just as stylish with boots as they are with ballet flats and sandals.
Fashion girls are layering sweater vests like this over button-downs for an easy, yet cool preppy outfit.
Yes, this is technically a nightgown, but I could just as easily see it styled with cowboy boots for a cute western-inspired look.
Consider this knit your ultimate layering piece for spring. Wear it now with button-downs then tie it over your shoulders for a pop of color.
Despite the name, there's nothing "awkward" about these shorts. In fact, the chicest girls I know are on board the Bermuda shorts trend.
What's spring without a trench coat? For a fresh take on the classic piece, test out this cool cropped version.
You'll never tire of having this button-down in your rotation. Whether you layer with it or style it on its on, the outfit possibilities are (nearly) endless.
Black jeans are an all-season essential, especially when they hail from Madewell.
Dress like a fashion girl and swap your favorite sweater out for this light blue one.
It's almost wedding season, so you need this night-out-ready shoulder bag for the occasion.
There are about a million and one different ways to style this classic slip skirt, which is why it's a must-have piece in your transitional wardrobe.
This lightweight cardigan is the ideal throw-on piece to transition out of your heavy winter knits.
Don't underestimate the power of an elevated black T-shirt. With its ultra-soft feel, this pick makes for a luxe layering piece.
Swap out your puffer coat for a lighter option like this shacket.
How pretty is this dress? With its trendy drop waist and quarter sleeves, you'll feel just like a ballerina while wearing it—plus it has pockets!
Your white sneaker collection could probably use an upgrade this season—these chunky Sam Edelman kicks are here to help.
Baggy jeans continue to trend for 2025, so snag this pair on sale while you can.
Linen pants season will be here before you know it.
Fashion E-Commerce Editor Julia Marzovilla owns (and loves) these barrel-legged jeans. "They are by far the most comfortable pair I own," she says. "They are 100 percent worth the hype."
I feel like Olivia Rodrigo would love these loafer-Mary-Jane hybrids.
Watches are my favorite accessory right now.
This is another piece that Marzovilla owns and swears by. "This bralette has single handedly solved my back pain and overall discomfort," she says. "It's so comfortable I've fallen asleep in it on several occasions."
