We're days away from the official start of spring, 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 when the new season arrives and, thankfully, everything you need is currently hiding 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, like pale blue and cherry red.
Keep scrolling for all of my favorite finds. Everything on this list is discounted by up to 85 percent in some cases, so there's never been a better time to re-stock on old faithfuls—and find some new must-haves along the way. The sale will run until March 24, so shop now before your favorite pieces sell out.
