It Takes a Lot to Impress Me, But These J.Crew and Nordstrom Items Blew My Mind

I’ll be the first person to admit that I tend to err on the picky side. Looking back, I’ve always been this way. And while I’ve grown out of it when it comes to most things, my high standards around all things fashion related has never, ever faltered. Luckily, in my line of work, that’s a plus rather than a demotion, because my tendency to get choosy is exactly what allows me to narrow down the literal millions of garments, shoes, handbags, jewelry items, and more that are currently being offered up on the open market, to just the ones you really need to see. 

This week, I did exactly that, though instead of sourcing from every which retailer under the sun, I decided to zero in on the two with the best selection so far this summer: Nordstrom and J.Crew. But just blindly take my word for it. Ahead, see me prove my point with the help of 29 linen tops, ballet flats, maxi skirts, wide-leg jeans, sundresses, and more that genuinely blew my mind when I scrolled past them.
