While packing for NYFW this year, I thought I would pack more casual pieces than I usually do. The first few times I went to Fashion Week, I stressed more than I should about having the “right” clothes and wanting to look/feel like I belonged in that scene (to avoid feeling uncomfortable or like the new girl).

Then I realized… pssshhhh! Who cares!?

August was a packed month for me, so I didn’t have as much time to mentally prepare for NYFW, pulling looks or borrowing luxe pieces. I knew I wanted to squeeze in more fun this time around, so bringing more casual pieces would be more more comfortable and practical.

I headed to Nordstrom to peruse their transitional fall pieces and found so many gems! I love the look of a bodysuit but have had a hard time finding one that is long enough for my torso. This one is plenty long (and runs true to size) and comes in two colors. I think it’s a great layering piece and would be perfect with jeans, shorts or a skirt. I got this bag last year and love that they’ve extended the style in so many colors and textures. The suede one is seriously gorge.

Topshop at Nordstrom has a denim collection like no other, and if you don’t have any highwaisted jeans yet… I think you need a pair. Like, now.

Thank you so much for reading! And if you were following along all of the NYFW snaps on social media, I’d love to hear what kind of looks you gravitate towards – funky and interesting OR looks you would actually wear in your city?
