    8 Chic Fall Essentials To Update Your Wardrobe

    My friends outsource all their shopping to me. So, it was no surprise when my bestie called me up, curious about a fall closet update. She happens to be one of the chicest people I know—thanks to my keen fashion sense and her ability to make anything stylish. With a budget of $625, I set out to find eight elevated fall pieces that undoubtedly complement what you already own and extend your wardrobe well beyond the autumn months.

    Two words I’d use to describe her style are minimal and effortless. I drew on my experience as a shopping editor, as well as my passion for elevated basics. I turned to Nordstrom, one of my go-to places for fall fashion. From their in-house labels to standout brands like Mango, Reformation, Madewell, and Levi’s, Nordstrom is a fashion person’s dream. Coming in slightly under budget, here are eight chic fall pieces that are sure to upgrade any fall closet.
