A new year often feels like an opportunity to start fresh with different aspects of your life, and one area that has the potential to (positively) spill over everything else is your closet [1]. Don't underestimate the power clothes have to set the tone for how people perceive and address you. Take stock of the pieces you reach for regardless of the season, and consider either upgrading them or growing the collection. Similarly, you can decide to try out a cool trend [2] or acquire looks that will make a good impression when you return to the office [3], reunite with your friends or dress up for a first date [4].
Nordstrom has a wide array of pieces designed to achieve all of these goals, and more. Look to the retailer for stylish clothes available at every price point, and to give you a head start, we curated our favourite new arrivals ahead.

A One-and-Done Solution: All in Favour Plissé Empire Waist Midi Dress
This All in Favour Plissé Empire Waist Midi Dress [7] ($49) makes an easy one to throw on and look polished in an instant. We like the plissé fabric, which has a little bit of sheen, the relaxed waist and the gathered cuffs.
