29 Things in a 5'4", 30-Something Fashion Editor's Nordstrom Cart Right Now

At the close of each summer (and winter), I always get a very strong urge to shop for fresh pieces for the coming season, and this year is no different. This summer has been exceptionally hot where I live (the southeast), and as someone who doesn't love summer to begin with, I'm over it. Give me changing leaves and anything below 70 degrees. Please.
For context, I'm 5'4" (average height in the U.S., in case you weren't aware) and am in my late 30s. Obviously, one of the best places to shop for new fall wardrobe builders is Nordstrom, with the most well-rounded selection on the internet. So I'm sharing what's currently in my cart in case you're seeking a little fall shopping inspiration during these final dog days of summer.
Scroll to shop my treasure-filled Nordstrom cart along with me before everyone else realizes fall is coming and the best pieces fly out of stock.
My coworker Nicole first spotted this and I always trust her taste.
Cute affordable pajamas are so exciting to me.
