Back to Wardrobe Basics with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Happy Thursday, ladies! The Nordstrom Sale is continuing and opening up to the general public tomorrow, July 15th. There are still a lot of great items in stock, and a lot of deals to be had. We've covered the sale extensively over here on the blog. On Sunday, Kelly and I shared our dressing room diaries with you. And last Thursday, I showed you how to build an essential fall wardrobe at the sale. I'm gonna pick up that theme today and get back to wardrobe basics from the sale.
I've picked 5 basic items & color combos that every woman should have in their fall wardrobe. They are:
- black and white;
- trousers;
- jeans;
- turtlenecks; and
- chambray shirts.
While the Nordstrom Sale is sometimes criticized for its selection (or the fact that it sells out quickly), I love it because it provides a great opportunity to stock up on the basics. So, for each of the above items, I went and pulled some great deals and built outfit inspirations featuring them. Let's see what I came up with.
The Summary
Today I'm getting back to wardrobe basics and picking my 5 basic but essential fall staples
For each category, I've put together an outfit for inspiration, sourcing all items from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Back to Wardrobe Basics with Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
1. Black & White
The beauty of a black and white color combo is that it’s very traditional and classic yet always feels modern and contemporary. While I love, love love to add color to my wardrobe, whenever I want a classic look, I always head back to the basics with black and white.

2. Trousers
A good pair of trousers will work year-round. But don't be afraid to buy more than one pair---add a variety of colors and styles that suit your figure. From ankle, straight leg, and wide-leg there's a style for everyone.

3. Classic Denim
You can never have too many pairs of blue jeans: boyfriend/girlfriend, ankle, distressed, frayed, flare, wide-leg, cropped flare, boot cut. The list goes on and on.
And, yes, some of these styles are trendier than others. Once upon a time, skinny jeans were a trend. Now they are a closet essential.

4. Turtleneck
Turtlenecks are timeless classics that always seem to feel fresh. Layer them with a sweater; pair them with a ruana, or just wear them alone. So many different stylings that keep this item on-trend.

5. Chambray Shirt
Chambray (or denim) shirts are timeless classics. Just like the turtleneck, they go with just about everything---including jeans! I love layering them with cosy fall sweaters or pairing them with a suede jacket. A wardrobe basic---a chambray shirt is a must.
