My friends from the Nordstrom6 and I asked the question, “If given a $1000 Nordstrom gift card, how would you spend it?” I thought this would be an easy question to answer, but I actually had to think about it for days! I asked friends and colleagues what they would buy and even asked my Instagram followers how they would spend $1000. Just for the record, most friends, colleagues, and IG followers said they would spend their gift cards on coats, boots, and a few would buy handbags.
I couldn’t decide on just one way to spend $1000, so I am showing you a couple of ways I’d spend it. Does that mean I have a $2000 imaginary gift card? Ha maybe, but this is what I’d buy 😉 .
The first item I’d buy is this gorgeous Christian Louboutin bootie. I was immediately drawn to the chocolate brown color. This boot has a comfortable heel height, and of course, the red bottom sole is a “wow” factor. It’s a beautiful neutral color that’s hard to find and is a perfect boot to wear with denim, skirts, and dresses. This boot is a splurge at $945. And there you have it, I’ve spent my entire gift card.

Love the chocolate brown boot with the black and white outfit!
If I had another $1000 gift card, I’d purchase Golden Goose sneakers. I am often asked if Golden Goose sneakers are worth spending the average price of $495-$530. I think so! I don’t look at this shoe as just your average sneaker. Instead, I look at the price per wear of purchasing a comfortable statement shoe that can be mixed in with my denim, dresses, skirts, and joggers. I’ve owned my current Golden Goose for several years and still have them on rotation. Customers always ask me about them because of the cool-girl vibe they add to any outfit.

Along with the Golden Goose sneakers, I always like to add to my jewelry wardrobe, so I’d also choose a diamond Pave pendant necklace for layering. It’s by Monica Vinader and is priced at $215. Monica Vinader offers beautiful 14 karat gold, white, yellow, and rose gold jewelry at affordable prices. I’d also add high waisted Levi denim for $98, and an Agolde sweatshirt for $138. I had a little extra to spend, so I picked a Better than Sex mascara for $13. The total is $994. So there you have it, two very different ways to spend $1000.
