6 It Girl Winter Essentials for Women Over 40 | The Nordstrom 6 December drop
We don’t care if these are on sale—these six winter essentials are the definition of It Girl energy for women over 40. Each one earned its spot in this year’s final Nordstrom 6 Drop for a reason: a rich brown coat that might get more action than your black one, suede bags that make neutrals feel new again, and tall and ankle boots that are giving designer vibes, convertible jeans that flatter you and every shoe you own, a cashmere tee that’s as chic as it is cozy, and winter florals that prove prints can be powerful. Think of this as your stylist-approved shortcut to looking current, confident, and completely pulled together—no trend-chasing required. Please keep reading to get our year of stylist-approved drops distilled into one easy-to-shop highlight reel.






This beautifully structured Veronica Beard handbag, which we featured in January, is back in stock. See how I styled it. In February, we featured my favorite luxe cotton lounge sets made here in California. The ivory leather jacket we shared in March made our top 10, but I found a better version for less here. We include a cool bag in every drop. Last April, this Marc Jacobs style made our list in metallic. We all went nuts for these affordable suiting separates, exclusive to Nordstrom this May. Check out the brown version I just scored! June’s Drop was juicy. I turned all of the pieces into a capsule wardrobe. My favorite was this Farm Rio cafe print skirt. It’s on sale here now. In July, we were in the Anniversary Sale more and shared our favorites throughout the month. I think I’ve worn the suede loafers from our August Drop more than any other Drop pick all year! In September, these designer-inspired boots were a hit, so we brought them back in the tall style this December. If you wear a lot of solid colors, you got the cool coat from our October Drop. If not, it’s on sale here now. We were starting to feel festive in November, but I wear my faux-fur jacket we chose for all fall and winter.
