I'm a Former Nordstrom Buyer & Ditched Half My Clothes—But These Are My Staples

Susie Wright recently informed us that she cleaned out her closet during a remodel. As we mentioned here, given her adoration for fashion and her work as a former Nordstrom buyer and current stylist, she has accumulated quite the clothing collection over the years, and we were super intrigued at what she kept in her rotation.

She let us know that she actually ditched about half of her clothes during the process. Over on her blog, So Susie, she highlighted a range of pieces she got rid of, including poorly fitted denim, graphic tees she’s no longer wearing, old swimwear, and dated dresses that she’d been saving “just in case.” That said, as she sorted through everything, she was able to further zero in on the items she’d never toss given that they are staples in her eyes. We thought you might be interested in learning about the pieces Wright believes are tried-and-true spring and summer wardrobe heroes thanks to their versatile, classic, and modern nature. This is all in addition to the items she previously mentioned.

With that in mind, keep scrolling to check out the pieces Wright will keep in her closet for quite some time, complete with visual and shopping inspiration.

"I have my eye on roomier cotton shirts these days. They pair nicely with denim, and they add a little polish to a casual outfit."
"I can’t imagine getting dressed without my collection of denim jackets! Right now, I’m wearing this slightly oversize version from Levi’s. The faded wash is perfect for spring and summer."
"White denim is on constant rotation from now until early fall. Pretty much the key piece to every spring and summer outfit."
"Currently loving anything gold, chunky, and layered, whether it’s a link necklace or a statement bracelet. These are the details that add interest to pretty much any ensemble." 
"Another summer staple! A cotton dress is perfect for warmer weather, and it works with everything from sneakers to flip-flops to sandals."
"Jackets are one of those staples that really complete an outfit. They're versatile and stylish, and they add extra warmth if needed in the evenings."
"Everyone needs at least a couple of T-shirt dresses. They’re super easy and comfy, and you can change the look instantly by switching up your shoes and accessories. Slip on some slide sandals, and you're ready to go."

Up next, the under-$50 items I'm buying to make my wardrobe exponentially more stylish.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
