Fall is officially here! I am so looking forward to sweater weather I can hardly contain myself. With temperatures dropping, it’s a great time to assess your closet and evaluate what you have so that you can determine what you need. I know many of you are looking to do a complete overhaul and want to invest in fewer pieces that will allow you to create tons of outfits for maximum value. Today I’m sharing my closet must haves that are essential for fall/winter and make an excellent capsule wardrobe.
30 Capsule Wardrobe Outfits

Remember that if you are shrinking down your closet to make way for more versatile pieces you will in turn be putting a lot more wear and tear on your clothes than you would otherwise. That’s why it’s important to spend wisely and invest in quality staples that you can wear and re-wear time and time again. Many of these styles are an investment, but I can attest that they are worth every single penny. Some of these items I’ve had for years now and they still look brand new. Each piece is essential to developing a wardrobe that is versatile and effortlessly chic, whether you’re adopting a capsule wardrobe or simply looking to elevate your closet staples.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, not the sound of sleigh bells, but the sound of doorbells ringing with packages from the Nordstrom Sale! This is undoubtedly my favorite sale of the year because you get discounts on NEW pieces and items that rarely get marked down. I like to get a mix of high quality staples like cashmere, wool, leather, and premium denim with some super affordable trendy pieces mixed in!

I’ve got all the tips, tricks, and picks for you right here:
Get a Nordstrom Card
Think Long Term
Shop til you drop!
Get a Nordstrom Card
This is the ONLY way to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and still get the best selection of sizes and colors. Since it’s one of the most popular sales of the year you must, must start shopping early. If you wait, it will be gone. TRUST ME. I’ve done it. I’ve made the mistake and my cardigan game has hated me ever since. Literally never again. Learn from my mistakes, just do yourself a favor and get the dang card.
Think Long Term
The best way to take advantage of the Anniversary Sale is to snag the designer items that never go on sale. You know those Stuart Weitzmans you’ve been eyeing but just can’t bring yourself to buy? Yeah, now is the time to snag them. My strategy is start with the designer and luxury brands you love. You will maximize your savings and get the best selection of sizes and colors on your most coveted picks. Then, grab the trendy under $100 pieces. These are the items they often restock throughout the course of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale so if you do miss it (which you won’t because you’ve already gotten the card because you listened to me), you’ll have a good chance of still getting the item(s) you want. Oh and, remember to set a budget and stick to it.
Shop til you drop!
Start Shopping – yes, it’s that easy! I start online and get as many things as I can. As the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale progresses, the online items start to dwindle away, but the in store items start booming. People are returning left and right and you might be able to cop something that was out of stock online! Seriously I did this last year and hit the jackpot. This is THE best kept secret and I am sharing it with YOU because, well, I like you! Another great way to maximize your spending is to use your 2x points day while doing your shopping. This way you’ll be stocking up on all your favorite finds while accumulating points for Nordstrom Notes later!
