My mom is one of those people who can go into a store and automatically spot the best pieces. It's like a sixth sense. Lucky for me, that skill extends to shopping online, too. So, I had her browse Nordstrom's just-landed End of Season Sale and add every worth-it new markdown into our joint shopping cart.

As I've gotten older, I've realized that our personal styles are pretty similar. Case in point: I would wear every! single! piece! she chose in her most recent edit. From boho-inspired sheer tops in spring's hottest color to enough lightweight jackets to put my puffer to shame, her curation is second to none in the style department.

The good taste doesn't stop at clothes. Despite not being a regular ballet flats wearer, she's decided to co-sign the high-vamp flat trend that everyone on team Marie Claire has been obsessing over for weeks. Add a laptop bag from Madewell that I already own, and you've got a list of on-sale picks we can both agree on, where everything is up to 50 percent off.

Keep scrolling to tap into her cool mom aesthetic. (It's a look I've been trying to master for nearly two decades, and she basically just gave you a cheat code.) Nordstrom's sale is running until February 16, so I can all but guarantee these pieces will sell out soon.

Jeffrey Campbell

Hinted Pointed Toe Flats (Were $165)

These are the ballet flats both of us are dying to wear this spring.

Nordstrom

Liv Pointed Toe D'orsay Pumps (Were $90)

My mom isn't really a leopard print girl, but she makes an exception for shoes.

Nordstrom

Benson Loafers (Were $90)

This pair of loafers has been on my mind all year, but she needs more convincing. The $59 price tag should do the trick.

Marc Jacobs

The Cristina Tote (Was $395)

It's a new season, which gives me a new excuse to ditch my black tote for a spring upgrade.

All in Favor

Oversize Rib Sweater (Was $64)

Oversized knits are a staple in both of our closets.

Nordstrom

One-Button V-Neck Rib Cardigan (Was $100)

I keep raving to her about waist-defining cardigans, and now she's finally on board.

Topshop

Stretch Cotton Twill A-Line Skirt (Was $65)

She, on the other hand, is obsessed with wearing floaty A-line skirts like this one. I agree.

Alohas

Tb.490 Rife Sneakers (Were $210)

We both could use some new sneakers, and these ones from Alohas were an easy choice.

Aligne

Dara Collarless Jacket (Was $215)

I live in my Align fitted blazer, but she said it was too classic for her. This one is a little cooler.

Warp+Weft

Nce High Waist Wide Leg Jeans (Were $98)

I've been singing Warp+Weft's praises for years now.

Adidas

Tokyo Low Top Sneakers (Were $90)

I literally just bought this pair of Adidas, and she immediately asked me about them.

Open Edit

Wrap Robe Coat (Was $149)

Spring is the perfect time to shed your winter coat for something lighter.

Beek

Siskin Mules (Were $260)

The slipper shoe trend is controversial, but it's one we both love.

Avec Les Filles

Contrast Collar Barn Coat (Was $198)

My mom and I have the exact same coloring, so this olive green jacket works for both of us.

Madewell

The Essential Belted Bucket Tote (Was $248)

This Madewell leather tote is one of our top-rated laptop bags, and she's been asking for a new work tote.

Madewell

The Darted Barrel Leg Jeans (Were $148)

Even though she's way taller than I am, we both love the barrel-leg jeans trend.

Mango

Ballet Flats (Were $90)

I simply love these classic (now under $75!) flats.

Dolce Vita

Serina Sneakers (Were $140)

Suede sneakers are the perfect transitional shoe, whether you're going from summer to fall or winter to spring.

Open Edit

High Neck Chiffon Top (Was $69)

We both gasped when we saw this.

Treasure Bond

Diamond Stitch V-Neck Sweater (Was $89)

We're big proponents of a winter white look, and this is the perfect creamy sweater to team with our jeans.

Boden

Bre Belted Corduroy Shirtdress (Was $159)

Finally, a work dress we both love.

Zella

Longline Hooded Puffer Vest (Was $129)

Vests are the key to early-season dressing.

Alex Mill

Madelyn Cable Knit Wool Blend Donegal Sweater (Was $228)

I rave about Alex Mill knits, and now my mom is hooked, too.
