What to Buy From Nordstrom If Your Vibe Is French Girl Fall But Your Budget Is $100

We're nearly halfway through September, the weather is starting to turn, and the cardigans are coming out. All signs point to the fact that fall's official start is nearly upon us. If you ask a fashion person, though, they'll tell you that the industry's favorite season began the day after Labor Day . While I have been busy shifting my closet to reflect the current climate as well as what's to come and unearthing countless oldie-but-goodie pieces while at it, I can't help but want to add some 2024-worthy newness to my wardrobe.

My next thought would normally be where to even begin, but I already know. I just asked myself, What would French women wear? Then, I took it one step further by challenging myself to curate the aforementioned selection from Nordstrom and under $100 because, of course, why not?
