We're nearly halfway through September, the weather is starting to turn, and the cardigans are coming out. All signs point to the fact that fall's official start is nearly upon us. If you ask a fashion person, though, they'll tell you that the industry's favorite season began the day after Labor Day. While I have been busy shifting my closet to reflect the current climate as well as what's to come and unearthing countless oldie-but-goodie pieces while at it, I can't help but want to add some 2024-worthy newness to my wardrobe.

My next thought would normally be where to even begin, but I already know. I just asked myself, What would French women wear? Then, I took it one step further by challenging myself to curate the aforementioned selection from Nordstrom and under $100 because, of course, why not?

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
