My classic style relies on the basics —like perfect-fitting jeans and wear-everywhere button-downs . They make getting dressed easier, and everything pairs well together.

Shopping has been on my mind as we head into the new spring season , and my closet could use an upgrade since I've worn the same few pieces for months—it's that time of year when my favorite white T-shirts look dingy, and my cashmere knits feel worse for wear. I like to invest in staples, but I try to do so on a budget when my wardrobe needs refreshing. I turn to Nordstrom when in doubt because I can effectively replace my most worn items for $100 or less.

Ahead, shop for all my favorite affordable wardrobe finds on Nordstrom's site. While timeless pieces comprise a large portion of the list, it also includes new spring trends , like dark-wash denim and nautical-inspired cardigans .
