I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I have to talk about it again. I’m SO happy to see that the rich and vibrant hues normally saved for spring/summer are sticking with us through the fall/winter season!! It’s made dressing for fall/winter so exciting for the color-lover, and I’ve found so many of my key pieces this year at Nordstrom. I put together this colorful fall outfit with Nordstrom to showcase 5 colorful essentials that should top your fall must-list!

1 – Little Striped Dress

Stripes have become a year-round staple, and they’re especially pertinent when it comes to fall/winter dressing because you can layer the print with practically anything. While you probably already have a few striped tees on rotation in your closet, if you don’t have a striped dress, this season is the time to invest in one! I especially love the bold block stripes in the dress I’m styling today. I dressed it down for the casual colorful look on the blog today, but it could just as easily be dressed up with a sleek leather jacket and some fancy booties.

2 – Pop of Color Utility Jacket

You likely already have a hunter green utility jacket in your closet that gets lots of wear, so why not invest in another with a pop of color? From bright kelly green like the one I’m wearing today (similar here) to vibrant yellow and even colors like lilac, there are so many color options available this season in the most wearable jacket style.

3 – Bright Rain Boots

While the vibrant yellow rain boots I’m wearing today may be too bright for your taste, you can find rain boots at Nordstrom in practically every color of the rainbow and at every price point, too. What I love about rain boots is how versatile they can be. Pair them with cozy, warm boots socks to make them snow boots or wear them alone for rainy fall days. Colors like classic red are really popular (and these happen to be on sale for under $40!) and even pastels like this light pink pair that I also have (and wear all the time!)

4 –  Quilted Vest

Quilted and puffer vests have long been a winter/fall staple, so this year I was so excited to find one with the prettiest floral print. Quilted vests are essential layering tools for your fall/winter outfits. Whether you layer one over a long sleeve thermal tee on warmer fall days or double layer up with a vest and a

5 – Colored Sunglasses

Whether you go bold with bright pop of red like I did with these amazing under $60 sunnies or opt for a more subtle pop of pink, swap your neutral sunglasses this season for a playful pair in your favorite color.

Stay tuned for more fall outfit ideas from Nordstrom here on the blog.

    Me encantan las Hunter, tengo tres pares uno de ellos amarillo como el que llevas. Son fantásticas para chapotear en el barro y mantener los pies calentitos, luego mi chico las riega y me quedan limpitas.
    Besos.
