I Popped Into Nordstrom This Week, and These 8 Chic Fall Items Came Home With Me

The blessing (or perhaps a curse for my bank balance) of living five minutes from a Nordstrom is that I can pop in on my lunch break when I'm having a quieter week to see its latest fashion delights! While most of my searching and shopping is usually done online, there's nothing quite like the thrill of shopping IRL—feeling, trying, and seeing what pieces catch my eye. 

This week, I was craving a shopping pick-me-up and took a quick peek at the multi-brand retailer. One hour later, I was armed with a handful of seriously cool and trend-forward pieces that are perfect for fall. From sumptuous sweaters to cool Mary Janes and more, take a peek at the chic items that came home with me on my recent visit to Nordstrom.

It's all about the businesscore aesthetic this season, and this relaxed pinstripe blazer from Open Edit is the perfect piece to lean into the corporate-chic trend. I was surprised at how luxe it looked for the price. This is the kind of blazer you can throw on, and you'll look instantly put-together and polished.
