One of my new friends is into the fact that I work in fashion and has been asking me for shopping tips. Of course, I love it—shopping director over here! She describes her style as simple, but she still wants to be fashionable.
When she inquired about the cute fall basics I’ve seen, I sent her five items from Nordstrom (one of her favorite stores) that I thought she’d like and wear all the time. The items, the first pieces in the list ahead, are easy and versatile enough to fit within her vibe but feature modern design details to give them that forward spin. Keep scrolling to shop nice sweaters, sleek pants, cool tops, and more. I also embedded the latest episode of Retail Therapy for your viewing pleasure.
