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.
