I Want an Expensive-Looking Fall Wardrobe—38 ElegantReplica Store Items I'm After

With a Nordstrom gift card burning a hole in my pocket, I've been venturing deep into the retailer's drop-downs the past few days. It's such a great time to shop—the new-season novelty of fall fashion is at its peak, and the occasional cooler mornings have me ready to start thinking about things like light layers and suede and closed-toe shoes.
I'm happy to report back that Nordstrom is currently a treasure trove of rich-coded fall finds, from trending designer accessories to under-$100 items that only look expensive. I discovered refined skinny Toteme belts and elevated black Reformation dresses, polished Topshop trousers and chic Mango suede shoppers. So far, I've managed to cull my wish list down to these 38 elegantReplica Store items guaranteed to elevate everyday outfits without breaking a sweat.
