Soft Knits and Suede Boots Are On My Mind—Here's What's in My Nordstrom Cart

Soft Knits and Suede Boots Are On My Mind—Here's What's in My Nordstrom Cart

It might still be 84ºF and sunny, but I'm officially shifting to a fall state of mind. September is almost upon us, and there's a certain exhilaration that fashion's most exciting season offers—from the latest fall trends to the coziest pieces to luxuriate in.

Two items I'm getting my hands on first? Soft knits and chic boots, especially of the luxe-looking suede variety. My transitional wardrobe involves plenty of sleeveless and short-sleeve knit tops as well as the softest cashmere sweaters I can easily layer over my tanks and tees. And as for boots, I'll be investing in some rich-looking espresso-brown styles to wear with my silky skirts and jeans.

If you too are looking to prep your wardrobe ahead of fall, then keep scrolling below as I'm sharing the must-have knits and boots that are fashion-forward and chic from trusty retailer Nordstrom.
