I often become a personal stylist for those in my friend group. It kind of comes with the territory given that I work as a fashion editor. And yep, I love it. On that note, one of my best friends mentioned that she’s looking to add a few items to her wardrobe. In particular, she wanted a few ideas for more transitional pieces that she could wear in late summer and into fall. Given that she loves Nordstrom and the Anniversary Sale is in full swing, I sent her my shopping list filled with discounted pieces. 

Ahead you’ll uncover the list of seven items (the first below) I sent to my friend for consideration. Included in the mix? There’s an amazing denim silhouette, jacket style, and great shoes. I also thought I’d round out the curation even more for further inspiration for you, so you’ll find even more fantastic picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale as well.
