I Curated a Minimalist Wardrobe Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy Would Approve Of—All From Nordstrom’s Sale

I, like the rest of the world, can't get enough of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy right now. While I didn't grow up with her in the tabloids, Love Story has led to a newfound appreciation of the '90s icon, especially her minimalist style. Bessette-Kennedy has become my fashion muse over the last few weeks, so much so that I'm shopping like her during the Nordstrom Spring Savings Event.

Bessette-Kennedy is essentially the poster child of '90s minimalism, sticking to wardrobe staples in a neutral color palette. Sure, she dabbled in luxury with pieces from Yohji Yamamoto, Hermès, and, of course, Calvin Klein, but she was a master of high-low styling. From her Levi's jeans and khaki pants to classic loafers and elevated tops, I've decided to go all in on Bessette Kennedy's aesthetic for spring.
