When my mind goes blank on what to wear, I always turn to minimalist outfits. Pared-back looks always work, no matter the occasion. Now that soaring temperatures make getting dressed especially tricky, I'm making sure my wardrobe is stocked with minimalist summer outfits—without going over my budget, of course, thanks to Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale.
My minimalist wardrobe relies on elevated basics—pieces like jeans, T-shirts, tank tops, and simple skirts that you can mix and match over and over again. In the spirit of the new season, I browsed the new markdowns at Nordstrom and put together easy summer outfits inspired by my favorite street style looks. The looks I pulled prove that minimalism doesn't have to be boring or expensive—I managed to create cool-girl outfits for $250 or less.
