The leaves in Central Park have begun to change, and so has my wardrobe. Breezy linens and cottons have given way to cozy suede and knitwear .
I'll admit I'm partial to the layering of fall outfits . There's something about the earth tones, textures, and turtlenecks that make me excited to get dressed.
That said, I'm looking to refresh my wardrobe with a few items that won't break the bank. Think faux-suede jackets , straight-leg jeans, knee-high boots, and corduroy trousers .
With a $100 budget , I scrolled through Nordstrom to find the chicest fall items I'd add to my wardrobe in a heartbeat. Ahead, you'll find your fall classics like leather booties and plaid miniskirts plus must-have basics like Negative Whipped Boxers and lace-trim sleep sets . Scroll on to shop the best Nordstrom fall finds under $100.
The effortlessly chic crewneck sweater you'll be reaching for all season long.
I've got a weakness for straight-leg jeans. They are just so easy to style.
I'm not a barrel-leg lover, but I do like a corduroy.
I'd style this with the lace-trim shorts cool girls were wearing this summer.
Wear to the office or dinner with friends.
I'd wear this with a pair of wide-leg trousers.
The perfect heel height for a half-boot.
Henry Cavill named Ariat his jeans of choice . So of course, I had to check them out, and when I did, I found these cute mules.
There's always room for a cute sleep set.
Style with jeans or tie it around your waist.
Hot take? Snakeskin sneakers are oddly a neutral.
