Ok, here’s the deal: you can wear a simple outfit like a white tee, jeans and a denim jacket. But, if you add just one designer piece like a great handbag or a glamorous pair of sunglasses, you instantly bring that look up a notch. Next thing you know, your outfit is more stylish and polished — it’s elevated. This is the art of high/low dressing, and chances are many of the fashion girls that catch your eye on Instagram or Pinterest have this mastered! 

Nordstrom is always my go-to for anything designer because they have the best selection available and generous sale prices. How do I find these outfit-elevating designer pieces? Right now the Nordstrom Designer Sale has some pretty amazing deals, and many of them are up to 60% off! They won’t last, so don’t wait.

As always, I’ve scoured all the options and selected the very best items for you. For example, I recently spotted this Dries Van Noten handbag, these statement-making Saint Laurent sunglasses and these pretty Manolo Blahnik sandals that I know you’ll love. Keep reading for my top sale picks, and for three style boards created with my favorite high/low combinations!

Designer Sale Picks

When navigating the Nordstrom Designer Sale, I suggest browsing by category. For example, try searching “sale designer handbags,” “sale designer shoes” and “sale designer accessories.” For clothing options, search by dresses and jackets/coats. Remember, these are often the last sizes left, so make sure to act quickly in order to not miss out!

Style Board #1

This neutral, go-with-everything Gucci bag adds the perfect touch to every outfit. Try the Fendi scarf in your hair, and add a sandal like this reasonably priced Marc Fisher, or this flat favorite by Sam Edelman.

Style Board #2

Adding a Gucci loafer or mule is timeless, and will instantly take your look up a notch. Surprisingly, I think of this shade of blue as a neutral. It works with everything from faded denim to black or white denim — it’s a true favorite.

Add a cool statement-making tote and casual slide sandals like these Gucci floral ones, and this outfit is instantly elevated!
