Each September, when my kids go back to school, I often call it my “back to School” too, my reset, my reboot, my new beginning, my new year! As I start to put away my summer staples and replace them with my fall transitional pieces, I am instantly warmed with the thoughts of fall approaching, the holidays, yummy flavored coffees and the magnificent colors that come along with the fall season. 

It’s Fall ya’ll ! What does that mean? Well, for most of us around the country it means we have another amazing month of lovely weather before the leaves fall from the trees and the pumpkin spice lattes are in full swing! I have recently relocated to Southern California so “fall” looks a bit different for me compared to the east coast! No matter where I live, the one thing that seems to stay pretty consistent is the necessity for transitional wardrobe pieces! I have a section in my closet where I keep my “transitional pieces” and each season, I add more to this part of my closet. 

Guess what time it is?!? It’s time for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Woooo! This is the best time of year to upgrade your closet with some fabulous new looks. Here are some of my favorite products from various categories:

Womens Clothing

Activewear

Shoes

Jewelry

Makeup

I love matching sets, especially when they are made from a chic summer knit! A bold bright hue mixed with a fab summer tan is where its at! Any outfit that is sold as a set is so easy to wear, no need to worry about mixing and matching. A matching set in a bold bright color or pattern is one item you need to have in your summer wardrobe!
