14 MINIMAL + BRIGHT PICKS FROM THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE

++++

Losing my mind with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale right about now. When it comes to shopping I usually find myself in a bit of a fashion dilemma... There's a side of me that gravitates towards sleek minimal style, but then a bright statement piece (or 20) will catch my eye, and I'm left torn. While it's fun to mix and match, sometimes I wish my personal style wasn't so broad. Any of you go through this as well?
