What to Buy From Nordstrom If Your Vibe Is French Girl Fall But Your Budget Is $100
We're nearly halfway through September, the weather is starting to turn, and the cardigans are coming out. All signs point to the fact that fall's official start is nearly upon us. If you ask a fashion person, though, they'll tell you that the industry's favorite season began the day after Labor Day. While I have been busy shifting my closet to reflect the current climate as well as what's to come and unearthing countless oldie-but-goodie pieces while at it, I can't help but want to add some 2024-worthy newness to my wardrobe.
My next thought would normally be where to even begin, but I already know. I just asked myself, What would French women wear? Then, I took it one step further by challenging myself to curate the aforementioned selection from Nordstrom and under $100 because, of course, why not?
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
