If you’re looking for someone to tell you not to buy something, I’m probably not the best person to ask. And in the same way that I can far too easily justify your purchases, I’ll find any way to excuse my own. It’s a problem, I know, though it’s not one that I’m exactly working on. Case in point: my latest online-shopping excursion on Nordstrom.com. After hours of scrolling through the retailer’s new fall and winter arrivals, I’ve fully convinced myself that I don’t just want the 43 pieces below—I need them. And I’m more than ready to convince you that you need them too.
Really, I don’t think too much convincing will be necessary once you see them—perhaps just a little push—because in addition to being fall- and winter-ready, all of the hand-selected wardrobe items below are ridiculously good-looking. From It handbags by Staud, Saint Laurent, and Bottega Veneta to closet-building staples from Skims, Reformation, and Mango, I’m convinced that the selection ahead is utterly irresistible. Then again, *not* shopping was never my strong suit.
Sophie Rue
Easy Crewneck Cashmere & Wool Sweater
$228
A gray sweater’s as essential in the fall as 501s or a classic pair of black knee-high boots.

A timeless staple. Hint: Let this dress double as a slip skirt by tucking it into the waistline of some tights and hiding it with a structured, fitted top.
Topshop
Belted Faux Leather Trench Coat
$162
Whoa. I’m speechless.
Tory Burch
Pierced Slingback Open Toe Flat

If it has contrast stitching on it in 2023, I guarantee that it’s in one of my many shopping carts.

If you’ve been eyeing the Khaite cardigan for months or years now but still can’t justify the price, this $79 alt from Sanctuary should be at the top of your wish list this season.

I’m in awe of these, not gonna lie.
