      Pictured: Mango Lulu Vest ($80) (Image credit: Nordstrom) As the go-to personal shopper for my friends and family—part of my role as a shopping director—I often receive inquiries about style. Recently, one of my friends reached out regarding spring shopping. She mentioned wanting a few items that exude an elegant and “rich vibe,” but she prefers not to pay luxury prices for them. It's also worth noting that she enjoys shopping at Nordstrom. With that in mind, I browsed the site and selected five pieces to assist her in crafting those opulent-looking outfits. The items are chic and contemporary, featuring modern design elements that give off an expensive appearance, yet all are priced under $100. Keep scrolling to view the curated selection, along with a few additional affordable yet stylish pieces from Nordstrom.
