The Prettiest LBD for Fall + a Plaid Coat You’ll LOVE!

This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle. All opinions are 110% my own! 

Hi guys! 

Happy Thursday! Get excited for more fall style inspo in today’s post. ?I’m thrilled to be partnering with Nordstrom again to highlight some of their best fall staples!

As you know, they’re one of my absolute favorite retailers, and they are my go-to for pretty much every kind of occasion, from weekend wear to fall weddings, workwear, and everything in between! (They even have a new Sustainable Style section you can shop on their site!) Everything I’m wearing here is from Nordstrom and I know you’re going to love all these staples! ??

LBD for fall

Feminine LBD: 

I absolutely adore a loose, flowy mini dress, and this one from Topshop is no exception. It has tons of feminine details, from the swiss dot pattern to the ruffle sleeves, and subtle bow at the neckline. It’s conservative but the short length makes it very wearable–and it looks ESPECIALLY great with OTK boots for the perfect balance of sweet + spicy!

For a dressier twist, you can easily pair this dress with tights (you’ll probably want to go with sheer tights rather than opaque because the high neck and long sleeves would be too much skin covered and too much black–sheer tights will help break it up!) along with some classic pumps. (I LOVE Sam Edelman pumps–this pair is most similar to the pair I’ve had for 5+ years and STILL wear!) 

Dress sizing: Runs TTS for regular sizes! I’m wearing a 2! 

The Plaid Coat: 

This is SUCH a beautiful coat (also from Topshop) and I can’t believe it’s under $200! It’s very thick and warm and I love that it’s a longer length (which is ideal especially when you’re wearing a longline cardigan–I hate when my sweater is longer than my coat.) ?

There are so many cute plaid coats at Nordstrom right now–how adorable is this sweater coat!? 

Coat sizing: Size 2–runs large! (I actually cuffed the sleeves on the inside so they’re a little shorter, but I plan to take it back in to get them altered because Nordstrom has free basic alterations!)

The best OTK boots: 

I have two pairs of favorite OTK boots and I couldn’t live without either one of them! These are the Stuart Weitzman Lowlands (run TTS) which are definitely an investment but they are truly one of my favorite pairs of shoes. I love how high they come up on the thigh and how form-fitting they are through the calf. It makes them look extra sleek when you pair them with short hemlines! 

For a more budget-friendly alternative, you guys know how much I love Blondo boots (ON SALE for 25% off right now–also run TTS)! I wear these when the weather is bad and slushy/rainy because they’re waterproof AND salt proof suede! They aren’t quite dupes of the Lowlands, but they’re still REALLY beautiful boots! I love that they have the elastic in the back so they can accommodate a wide range of calf sizes! (I have really small calves and they fit me really nicely. Also, I’ve heard from those with wider calves that they fit great too!) 

Topshop purse: 

YOU GUYS this purse just sold out between the time I shot this post and right now ?I’m so sad! BUT–Topshop is actually my hidden gem to-to for fun purses. Here are some of my favorites similar to the one I’m wearing here:
