18 Pieces in Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale That Give "New Month, New Me" Energy
August won't know what hit it.
Whoever said we need to bring back yearning should have one singular conversation with a fashion girlie. Because yearning is quite literally part of the job description—and fall fashion is an excellent example of why.
We in the industry thirst for fall dressing three-fourths of the calendar year, and August is the first month it feels legitimately close. Deliciously crisp weather, the return of retired layers, and the resurgence of rich textures (like suede, leather, and fur) and saturated hues (espresso, burgundy, bronze, and plum) combine to create a perfect storm of personal style.
That’s why fall is widely accepted by the general fashion community as the chicest of the four seasons, sartorially speaking. And your friends at Nordstrom—the unofficial ambassadors of effortlessly chic transitional style—have dropped the prices on all their fall essentials, effectively proving my point. Shop the best fall picks at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, ahead.
Leopard print is an excellent choice for all weather, but it especially comes in handy during those in-between days—the ones when it's hot out, despite what the calendar says. So if you're hoping to get a jump on autumnal dressing, reach for light layers in this opulent print.
Maybe it's the Halloween of it all, but there's just something about fall that I associate with crystals and stones. Bring that witchy energy to your jewelry rotation, with these fall-coded danglers from Lele Sadoughi.
