My Nordstrom 6 friends and I are all over 40, and most of our shoppers are too. We agree that these new sunny staples from Nordstrom will transform every outfit you wear over the next few months. This month’s mix includes a tank dress under $100 that doesn’t require Spanx and flattering white jeans you’ll actually wear. You’ll also see a spin on sunny staples like raffia sandals and a denim jacket. This jean jacket from AG is slightly oversized and has a relaxed vacation vibe. These Sam Edelman raffia sandals have pretty details like pearl accents and scallop trim. You won’t be able to resist this designer brand handbag under $500 that’s worthy of your “bucket list”. My favorite brand right now is Farm Rio. This month the Nordstrom 6 chose a colorful print button up. Like most button ups it’s easy to style but this fabric feels and looks fresh and new.
6 SUNNY STAPLES FOR WOMEN OVER 40
1. Tank Dress
This is not the typical tank dress you’ll find at Target. This $79 Nordstrom brand dress is the perfect blend of pima cotton and 3% spandex which helps it kiss and not cling to your body. No Spanx required. This dress is available in 4 colors and sizes 00-16W.
Simple Styling
Copy these outfit ideas with a colorful sundress. Don’t worry they just look expensive. Can you guess how many pieces are under $50?
1. Black and White Cardigan and Sandals
2. Cool white blazer and platforms
3. Raffia accessories and a colorful button-up
4. Neutral brown shoes and bag
2. White Jeans
Finding flattering white jeans is about as easy as finding a swimsuit. Can I get an amen somebody? I finally convinced my N6 girlfriends to try the MOTHER Roller. This is a fabulous wide leg white jean that fits 9/10 women. It’s such a popular style MOTHER now offers it in petite sizing. The petite style has a shorter 9.25″ rise and 29″ inseam. It also has higher knee placement so rests in the right spots and doesn’t loose it’s silhouette if it’s hemmed. Nordstrom just restocked this style. Snag a pair now and wear them with your favorite heels.

Sneakers Flats & Wide Leg Jeans?
It’s easier to find flattering wide-leg jeans than any other style. If you want to wear your wide-leg jeans with flats or sneakers then a style like this that falls straight from the knee instead of out will look the best. These thick and stretchy wide-leg jeans from Fidelity have a 20″ opening compared to the MOTHER Roller which has a 27″.
3. Sam Edelman Raffia Sandals
A new neutral sandal makes any spring or summer outfit better. Coordinate your shoes with a matching bag to make an accessory set that will go with any outfit. From flats to platforms these textured raffia styles are all winners.

4. AG Denim Jacket
Jean-obsessed shoppers have made Nordstrom their denim destination for everything. If you’re looking for a casual and more relaxed fit denim jacket this one from AG might be perfect for you. This slouchy style is 100% cotton and just a few inches longer than a traditional jean jacket.
If you’re looking for a style that’s lightweight I love this thin tencel blend from Fidelity. It’s a traditional style. I love it so much I have it in an xs to wear with all my dresses, and a medium to wear oversized and layered.
Denim Destination
Nordstrom has a huge variety of classic denim silhouettes like a chambray button-up or iconic trucker jacket, alongside new handbags and shoes that you’ll want to add to your cart immediately. Here are my favorite jeans Nordstrom has for you.
5. Marc Jacobs Bucket Bag
Marc Jacobs is one of my favorite designer bag brands. They consistently deliver quality bags that are just as fashionable as they are functional. This bucket bag under $500 is the perfect example. Wear this charming bag crossbody or over your arm. The only thing you’ll question is what color to buy!
The black and white saddle bag I shared is finally back in stock. These are all styles I have and I’d buy them again.
6. Farm Rio Button Up
This is not your basic button-up. Farm Rio has done it again. This time they’ve refreshed the basic button up with vibrant colors and pretty prints that you’ll want to build an outfit around. Wear one tied over a tank dress or tucked into your new wide leg white jeans.
