I consider myself a bit of a pro when it comes to shopping at Nordstrom. After all, I’ve been a loyal customer there for as long as I can remember; I write about the retailer so often that I could tell you practically every brand it carries; I’ve maneuvered my way through the racks at its headquarters in Seattle and recently explored its cool new flagship store in New York; not to mention I can navigate its website faster than you can refresh your Insta feed, and when the retailer has a sale, you can guarantee I know the best pieces to get my hands on before they sell out. So today, I wanted to share my Nordstrom knowledge with you and point out some of the best pieces to scoop up during the fall sale, taking place between November 8 and 17 (with up to 40% off!). From the best brands to shop for affordable cashmere to elevated basics and staple jeans, scroll below to see what I’m buying.

You can never have too many.
The perfect layering piece.
This remains a best seller on Who What Wear.
Time for an elevated pair of leggings.
