Being a fashion editor means that I'm essentially a professional shopper, and with that title comes the responsibility of often being the go-to fashion adviser in my friends-and-family circle. I am only happy to help when a request comes in. My friend recently asked for some recommendations to help elevate her wardrobe. The Nordstrom fall sale is now live—with up to 50% off selected pieces—so I told her this would be the perfect time to take advantage of the discounted gems.
l did a deep dive of the sale and sent my friend a breakdown of elevated pieces to help her bring her wardrobe to the next level. This included everything from classic dresses and standout sweaters to cool jeans and pretty shoes—all the definition of chic closet staples. Keep scrolling to shop my top elevated picks from the Nordstrom fall sale. I swear you will wear these finds forever.
