Easy-to-pull-together style uniforms

The post sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle Collective

Winter and sweaters go together like ham and eggs. (And you thought it was peanut butter and jelly; or peas and carrots.) Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about easy-to-pull-together style uniforms ready at a moment’s notice to head out the door. Nothing is better to slip into than a cashmere sweater during the cold and dreary winter months. Unless it’s an oversize cashmere sweater. It’s cozy and comfy and keeps the winter chill at bay.

Easy-to-pull-together style uniforms

One reason I love Nordstrom, besides their in-house brand Nordstrom Made, is that they’ve got one-stop shopping from a variety of brands. Last year, I picked up a pair of Spanx black pants (limited sizes, check out this pair of black pants from Open Edit) that are on style repeat all winter long. Seriously, every woman should own at least one pair due to their flattering yet comfortable fit. That’s Spanx for you! Recently, I purchased this funnel neck cashmere sweater in a neutral color from the Nordstrom Signature Collection. It’s a match made in heaven! Two brands, one retailer. It doesn’t get easier than that.

Nordstrom Made brands like Halogen, Caslon, and Zella are oh-so affordable and carry an extensive lineup of activewear, sweaters, pants, and shoes. But when I’m looking for timeless classics that are the backbone of my wardrobe, I head to Nordstrom Signature, which epitomizes sophisticated luxury.

Leopard coat

While I was online shopping at Nordstrom, I decided to check out leopard coats. This is one animal print that never gets old. Am I right?! Much to my delight, I spied this leopard print coat (limited sizes, similar here and here) with a timeless appeal that goes perfectly with my style uniform of a sweater and black pants.

Besides shopping for clothes, I also love to add a pair of sunnies to my collection now and again. These Givenchy sunglasses available at Nordstrom are currently on sale. In the shopping cart, they went  One-stop shopping, which is convenient but can be dangerous. Well, it’s hazardous to my Nordstrom card statement…

Nordstrom

These are a few of my favorite things about Nordstrom.

  • free shipping and returns by mail or in-store
  • buy online pick up in store
  • curbside pick up (no muss, no fuss  Nordstrom brings your merchandise to you while you wait in your car)
  • the Nordy club earns 1 point per dollar, status based on spend, and enjoys perks to beauty and style workshops, curbside pickup, and the first to shop select brands.

    Great outfit Beth!

  2. Cute! Love leopard! I agree, you can never go wrong with leopard.

  3. Cath

    So like one of my favourite combos!
    I have a lighter version of the coat, and loop the belt at the back .Itโ€™s from a little boutique in my area
    ( shopping local), and there is a golden tone to the leopard print, which suits my colouring. I can also unbutton a hood when the weather is dry.
    Easy to get dressed and out the door for errands, and feel comfortable and stylish.

    Nordstrom.ca is helpful, however I am finding a much more limited range to choose fromโ€ฆinvariably not finding what has caught my attention.

    1. Maeve

      Yes, I had this experience today with XS. I don’t know why I bothered b/c I’m a petite, and Nordstrom basically ignores petites. Giving up.

  4. Brenda

    Such a classy outfit!

  5. LP

    Don’t know if anyone else had this problem, but link for “similar boots” led to sunglasses on my computer. Would like ID for boots. Thanks.

    Great idea and post. I like the idea of style uniforms. I seem to be “all over the place” with miscellaneous items. Good inspiration to work on a uniform.
    Just to tell you, when I clicked on the link for “similar boots,” it took me to sunglasses.
    I love Nordstrom’s Caslon & Halogen lines. Disappointed that the signature line includes so much cashmere! Of course it would, being a luxury line, but I cannot wear cashmere/wool. Oh well…that’s when I turn to their other lines as you mentioned; although I’m finding that many of those items are limited in sizes too. I guess it’s either the supply chain or people did (and are still doing) a whole lot of buying during the holidays! Thanks Beth! Love Nordstrom!

  7. Donna

    Beth, I love this outfit! Did you size up on the Spanx pants so that they fit more as a pant than a legging?

    1. hi Donna! no, i did not size up with the Spanx pants.

  8. Kris Pulling

    My daughter would say you look badass in that outfit! Love it!

  9. Angela Graw

    Beth,
    I love your style. Iโ€™m very fond of neutrals but have been craving color this year.
    I love the look of cashmere and wool but I get hives whenever I wear it. Iโ€™m also petite so I have to adjust, but I appreciate your blog.

    Just getting to see your post now ,so late in the evening but had to let you know how gorgeous you look in these outfits. And I love where you chose to take the photos! It really adds an amazing visual effect. Well done!
