Fall Fashion Capsule Wardrobe

As you probably already know, Nordstrom is gearing up for their annual Anniversary Sale. For as many years as I can remember, I've eagerly awaited this sale. For a long time, it represented the return to school, because I would buy school shoes for my daughters. Now, I'm looking forward to a lot of travel after missing it for so long during the pandemic. 

It might surprise you to know that when I travel, it’s usually with a wheeled carry-on bag and tote. Traveling light saves time and money by avoiding checked bags. For summer, it’s amazing what I can fit into a suitcase...multiple outfits and pairs of shoes. 

But sometimes packing light can be a challenge, especially with bulky fall clothes. So creating a “capsule wardrobe” for the fall and winter gives versatility and interest to your wardrobe, while saving space while traveling. Everyone is talking about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale right now, but I dug through the wide selection to find a few key pieces that supplement clothes that I already have in my closet.
