Friends and Family sale season is upon us (rejoice), so now is the perfect time to boost your fall wardrobe before the whirlwind that is the holiday season begins. I've been a Bloomingdale's shopper for years and have made some excellent purchases during the store's Friends and Family sales, stocking up on basics and even splurging on some investment pieces (the 25% discount is a great motivator).
Since it's early October, I'm shopping for staples like denim, cashmere sweaters, boots, and outerwear. The sale is going on from now until October 14 (all items are marked, so no code needed) and shipping is free, so you have plenty of time to narrow down your list. But just in case you need a little assistance, I'm here. I dutifully scrolled through thousands of sales items in search of the 21 staples you'll regret not buying. Keep scrolling to start shopping.

It's time to get in on the lug sole trend.
This would look so good with knee boots.
Timeless but make it cool.
The cozy jacket you'll reach for constantly (trust me, I have a similar one).
These might be the perfect straight-leg jeans.
I can't stop thinking about this beautiful day-to-night bag.
Once you invest in a cashmere wrap for travel, you'll never go back.
Wouldn't be a sale roundup without a pair of leggings.
Zebra print is the new leopard print.
A camel coat that's this good will always be worth the investment.
No one will know this isn't genuinie.
Such a good sweater for so many reasons.
The perfect boots to embrace the knee-boot trend with.
When was the last time you bought a new belt?
Far superior to many of the other cargo pants on the market, TBH.
You're going to need this wardrobe workhorse very soon.
