Hey there friends! Happy Wednesday.
Just a quick pop in today to present you with my promised modern take on a basics only capsule wardrobe featuring all pieces you can pick up via the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
Like I said in my last Nordstrom post, sales are a great time to pick up quality pieces at a discounted price (read: not a good time to pick up junky stuff just because it’s cheap), but for a lot of people it’s difficult to know where to start when deciding to be more intentional about selecting “long haul” pieces for your wardrobe.
That’s where this post comes in.
I selected 12 basics that would be the perfect foundation to almost any wardrobe. These pieces are cooler weather specific (although not necessarily exclusive to cold climates), but the overall concept remains the same… just swap out a sweater with a cami, a pair of boots with sandals, etc.
With these 12 pieces you can create a vast array of outfits, but I’ve selected 20 combinations that I’ll list below the capsule.
Okay let’s get to it!
