I Gave Myself 2 Hours to Find Nordstrom's Most Rich-Looking Items—Here They Are

Since I shop all day every day (no, really, I do), occasionally, I like to come up with ways to make it feel more exciting. I love shopping as much as or more than the next person, but even the things you love can start to feel boring every so often. That's where challenges like this one come into play. To spice things up, I gave myself two hours this week to see how many rich-looking items I could find from Nordstrom with a $300 budget in mind. And not to brag, but I hit it out of the park. 

From the pieces that fashion girls lose it over every year to under-$90 heels that elite budgeters are buying to get the Saint Laurent look, my 32 discoveries below only look like they'll cost you an arm and a leg. In reality, there are plenty that fall into the under-$100 bucket. Scroll down to peruse the selection from Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale offering and beyond. Hopefully, you'll be as impressed with the offering as I was. 

This jacket's sold out every year that it's been for sale.

Simply put, these jeans are perfect. 

Heavy satin is having a moment right now. 

This faux-leather skirt will you as close to the Saint Laurent look as possible while spending less than $100. 

A belted coat makes everything underneath look expensive. 

These Anne Klein pumps deserve an award. 

If the '90s are your goal style era, these sunglasses should be coming home with you. 

I've never wanted a sweater as bad as I want this chili-red knit. 

This skirt will get so much wear no matter the season. 

Don't spend hundreds on a leather jacket in a world where this $73 one exists. 

When the simplest dress is the prettiest, you have to buy it.

I know I'll be lounging in this sweater during the entire holiday break. 

Forget throwaway tanks—this one is for life. 

It's true, I'm obsessed.

The perfect mix of fashion and practicality. 

Two-for-one alert. 

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy–inspired headbands are having a moment right now.

I even convinced myself with this one. 

I'm super picky with jeans and adore these from Madewell. 

Anything velvet will get the fashion crowd's stamp of approval this time of year. 

I suggest Breda watches to everyone who's looking for an introductory timepiece that looks expensive but isn't. 

Add fishnet tights for a little bit of excitement. 

This tube top screams Carrie Bradshaw's name.

I've wanted these for at least a year now. 

If I didn't know better, I'd assume this jacket was 10 times its actual price. 

Heavy cashmere? Say less. 

Reformation's Mason pants are such a crowd-pleaser.
