Anyone who has ever attempted to go shopping with me knows how annoyingly picky I can be when it comes to buying anything for myself. In fact, I can spend hours in stores and online without finding a single thing I actually want to purchase, whether it's for an occasion, a new season, or just because. While this trait definitely has its downsides (you don't want to know how long it took me to find a wedding dress), it also has its benefits.
As a result, I take these stories I write for you, our readers, very seriously. When going through products to include in roundups, I ask myself first if I would spend my own money on something before suggesting it to someone else to buy. Hopefully, this shows, and you like what you're about to see below. Since we're on the heels of winter, I decided to comb through one of everyone's favorite sites and round up the items I would buy for myself if I were in the market for outerwear, dresses, accessories, shoes, and more. To see and shop my Nordstrom picks for the season ahead, just keep scrolling.
There's just something about this neckline that screams luxury.
I'll always be a Sandy Liang girl through and through.
You'll return to this coat every winter.
This pop of color is necessary for how early it gets dark now. Add some liveliness into your wardrobe!
Found: your perfect holiday dinner dress.
Add a touch of flair to your regular sweater-and-jeans combo.
I'll never get over this brushed knit texture. It always catches my eye!
Levi's denim is always reliable, so it's time I give the brand's faux leather a spin.
Hello, gorgeous!
Reformation being available at Nordstrom is making my shopping experience a whole lot easier. It's truly a one-stop shop.
It's a small detail, but I love the enlarged buttons in the same shade as the cardigan. It really does make a difference.
If you plan to spend the holidays bundled up by a fireplace, this cardigan should be on your wish list.
I can't believe these aren't designer.
I'm a big fan of layering skirts over pants, so I love that these have the skirt flap already built in.
& Other Stories knew what it was doing when it named this the Relaxed Sweater. I will gladly be relaxing in this knit.
This is exactly how I want to make a statement this winter.
I love that this fades out into a darker denim.
Danish brands make the best knitwear.
Barn jackets may be trendy, but they sure are durable. I expect to see more of them this season.
Switch out your office blazer with this chic cropped jacket.
You'll be best dressed at the holiday party with this satin dress.
I have these overalls in a classic denim and can confirm they are extremely comfortable. They probably feel even better in this soft corduroy.
During the fall and winter months, I wear brown a lot more than black. It becomes my new neutral, and this sweater should be enough of a reason to get you to feel the same.
