Here are a few items that caught my attention while I was browsing the clearance sale at Nordstrom. They’re all a little different, and can work all the way through to a chilly Spring.
- Tory Burch 'Classic' Reversible Logo Belt: A refined animal print belt with a statement buckle. Size up if you're going to wear it lower on the waist.
- Halogen Halogen 'Touch of Sparkle' Cashmere Infinity Scarf: An inexpensive infinity scarf in an unusual colour is an easy way to spice up an outfit.
- Nordstrom Double Ruffle Wool Wrap: This wrap looks super worn as a bulky BIG scarf over a coat, and will keep you very, very warm.
- Charles Gray London Basque Waist Full Skirt: A versatile fit-and-flare style that's knee-covering. Wear with a fitted tucked top, an oversized cropped top, or a fluid welted sweater.
- Topshop Crepe Gaucho Pants: Trendy culottes look lovely with tall boots and a short jacket. This style is not for apple shaped body types because the waist pleats are poufy. Great on a pear or rectangle body type.
- NYDJ 'Alina' Print Stretch Skinny Jeans (Houndstooth) (Regular & Petite): A non-denim bottom to tuck into weatherproof boots. Practical for the long Winter that may lie ahead.
- 7 For All Mankind 'The Skinny' Stretch Jeans (Rouge Roses): A Winter floral makes an excellent statement, especially when you work or stay at home.
- KUT from the Kloth 'Diana' Stretch Corduroy Skinny Pants: A cozy and casual non-denim alternative to tuck into boots.
- Lucky Brand Textured Sweater Jacket (Plus Size): A flattering fit on a curvy body type. Knitted comfort in a vibrant colour.
- Steve Madden 'Mottoo' Moto Boot (Women): A good bootie for narrow ankles and non-fussy feet. The length is great to wear with cropped pants because it provides extra coverage.
- Kork-Ease Kork-Ease 'Velma' Bootie: Earthy, relaxed and extra comfy.
- Via Spiga 'Cleone' Leather Bootie (Women): A good bootie style to wear to the office under trousers. Fab pointy toe, elasticated ankle comfort, and available in dark brown.
- Helmut Lang Asymmetrical Silk Sweater: A striking layering piece for warm weather. Avant-garde.
- Autumn Cashmere Cable Knit Cashmere Moto Jacket: A cozy taupe moto cardigan. Different.
- Jimmy Choo 'Dondo' Moto Boot: Comfortable and beautifully made. The gold hardware makes a nice change for this tough look.
- Lucky Brand Border Print Textured Open Front Cardigan (Plus Size): A big patterned cardigan with a flattering kimono drape. The border gives the style a vertical integrity. On trend and comfortable, especially for when you're at home.
- KUT from the Kloth 'Diana' Stretch Corduroy Skinny Pants (Regular & Petite): Vibrant and fun for Winter and right into a cold Spring.
- Halogen Long Cardigan: This maxi cardigan looks good over dresses too.
- Gallery Basket Weave Coat (Plus Size): Teal is gorgeous to wear all Winter long. Versatile, roomy, and fashionable.
- Nordstrom Collection Double Breasted Cashmere Poncho Cardigan: A trendy poncho sweater to wear over sleek pants or jeans. The drape is good and the gauge quite refined, so petites will not feel as overwhelmed in this style.
- Elie Tahari 'Sicily' One-Button Wool Blend Notch Collar Coat: A light blue cocoon coat is beautifully fresh and soft, and one way to stay warm in Spring.
- Vince Car Coat Sweater: A repeat style sweater coat that needs little introduction. Runs big.
- White + Warren Curved Hem Cashmere Scrunch Neck Sweater: The rounded high-low hems are quite unique, as is this style in dark brown.
- Eileen Fisher Turtleneck Alpaca & Silk Crop Poncho (Regular & Petite): Cropped, cute and trendy layered over slim fit bottoms and tee. Runs large.
Spring merchandise in lighter weight fabrics will hit stores in February and I’m excited to see the new collections. But remember that ample outfit variety to carry you through a long and cold Winter is important, so now is the time to scour those sale racks for cold weather wardrobe items.
