    As fall weather approaches, it's important to master the art of transitional summertime attire before fully transitioning to sweaters and boots. But this doesn't mean abandoning warm-weather staples altogether—a few easy wardrobe additions can easily get the job done.

    Everything you need is secretly hiding in Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale—which wraps up on August 4—and I found enough early-fall finds to make seven chic looks that will become your default best autumnal outfits—all at a discount.

    These looks use your summer essentials, like tank tops and linen pants, as a base, but with the addition of a few fall staples. Think leather jackets, a perfect pair of jeans, and the types of boots that warrant a dedicated shoe closet.

    To get you excited for fall, I've pinned the best street style inspiration and scoured through thousands of products to find the exact pieces you need to recreate the look.
