Thank you to Nordstrom for sponsoring this post. As always, all views are my own.
Good morning! It has been HOT here – it honestly feels more like the peak of summer than the start of fall… I was even in the pool yesterday. As I was laying on my raft dealing with the warm temperatures, crunchy brown leaves were falling on me. Nature seemed to be infusing my autumn dreams with reality. After all, fall’s official birthday is TODAY!
As the season transitions, even if only minorly depending on where you live, a shift in the wardrobe is always exciting. Every fall, I try to pick up a few really good basics from Nordstrom – simple pieces that can be mixed in different ways and that will last the entire fall and winter season. These must-haves won’t fail to put a pep in your step over and over again!
MY TOP PICK– I first discovered how amazing this BP. top was last year after purchasing it in ivory and wearing it more than any other piece in my closet. The sleeves taper in a way that is flattering and distinctively different than your average mock turtleneck. It also washes and dries excellent, which is key! Nordstrom brought it back this year in four new colors, and I love the warm tone of ‘brown chino’ and ‘green forest’!
Your feet will love these booties — The ankle height is great for skinny jeans or dresses, and they match almost any outfit.
Hair clips… they’re back!
This Chelsea28 Cross Front Blouse gives the front tuck look without actually being tucked in. It drapes beautifully and can be dressed up or down!
BP. plaid shirts run large, so make sure to size down one or two. I am wearing XS in the picture, but I exchanged it for XXS. Once you find the right size, you’ll feel instantly ready to pick out a prize-winning pumpkin.
Puff sleeves give this basic Treasure & Bond top some added flare!
Nordstrom has soooo many cute mule and slide shoes (I’ll link a few down below). You can shop them all here!
Don’t forget Mule Socks for when it gets chilly.
If a cardigan or top needs a tank, this is the one I wear. I even have it under the Chelsea28 Cross Front Blouse pictured above.
I’m a fan of anything that makes life a little easier, and Nordstrom is one of those stores where the customer experience is effortless. Their free shipping and free returns make wardrobe updates fun. More importantly, they carry amazing brands you won’t find anywhere else as well as exclusive styles from top brands (any price range and any stage in life!). I also rely on Nordstrom every year for my Christmas shopping… has that holiday crossed your mind yet? Okay, Okay!
You can check out Nordstrom’s newest fall items here. There are so many good pieces!
Sizing: Everything pictured runs true to size unless noted otherwise. I am wearing XS in all tops.
