Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
Even in my best attempt to enjoy the long weekend away from work, I found myself wandering into Nordstrom to do a little market research. While I walked away empty-handed, there are a few pieces I regret leaving behind (including this insane Staud dress). What can I say? I'm excited for spring to begin. The turn of the season always signals better weather, outfit freedom, and a fresh batch of styles I've been waiting to test out. But as a selectively trendy dresser, I'm always after the pieces that fit easily into my personal style. Currently, I'm testing the waters by pairing a sequined top with relaxed jeans, a rosette choker with a staple slip dress, and metallic footwear with a classic suit set. It's always a goal of mine to find a balance between wardrobe staples and playful seasonal trends, and I think the following Nordstrom items accomplish just that. Keep scrolling to shop the arrivals I'm most excited about.
I'll be wearing this Staud dress all spring and summer long.
Paillettes sequins.
These woven slides feel very '90s.
This is a spring-trend double hitter: icy lavender and shimmery sequins.
