Free Capsules

Every year the Nordstrom 6 June Drop gets better. This drop inspired me to make you two new capsules with lots of outfits for summer.

This never happens to me. I thought I had lost my shopping mojo last week when I left Nordstrom empty-handed. Inspired by all the different hats women wear, I wanted to gift you some new capsule wardrobe formulas. At five O’clock on Friday night, I put on my shopping black belt and headed to my small neighborhood Nordstrom Rack. I left with four brand-name capsule wardrobes from Nordstrom, including shoes, a designer bag, and premium denim. All the pieces in the capsules mix and match, regardless of the combinations you choose, so you’ll have plenty to wear.

I really did pack over one hundred outfit combinations for our trip to Europe during shoulder season. Most of my European travel capsule wardrobes include fewer than 10 pieces that make at least two dozen travel outfits. For this trip to the biggest fashion capital in the world, I wanted to embrace my inner Emily in Paris fashion fantasies, so I combined the most versatile pieces and fashionable accessories to make a travel capsule wardrobe that had outfits for any reason or season.

We are traveling through France for almost two weeks, but with the versatile pieces I’m packing, I won’t be able to wear all of the outfit combinations. I have so many great options. That’s the biggest benefit in packing a travel capsule wardrobe. So, although I don’t know if the weather forecast will be accurate or if our plans for the day may change, I know I’ll be wearing a travel outfit that I feel great in.

How do two nights, three days, and 30 outfits to go with it sound? You can use my 7-piece checklist to make an outfit that works with all your weekend plans. If you’ve ever wondered what to wear for a weekend getaway, here is a lookbook with 30 fun outfit ideas. A weekend always requires a stylish and comfortable travel outfit and at least one fun look for a night out. Like your weekend, these pieces are fun but also packed with long-term wardrobe staple potential. The 3 pieces in my dark denim capsule collection are the cornerstone to this versatile travel capsule. Shop my high-low list of shopping links to score a new leather jacket, cardigan, dressy tee, button-up, and slim black pants.

This is how I make a travel capsule wardrobe that you’ll be excited to wear for any length trip, anywhere, any time of the year. I love packing, and I promise if you pack a capsule wardrobe like this you will always have what you need, and it won’t look like you’re wearing the same outfit every day. My travel capsule wardrobe planner is based on my trademark capsule wardrobe formula.

Make over your current fall capsule wardrobe and make more new outfits by substituting or adding any of these 4 new fashion pieces.

Nordstrom is my “number one” one-stop-shop, for the best brands to build your wardrobe, but I’m so impressed with the new designer-inspired brands I’ve discovered in my last haul that I have enough to create an entire capsule wardrobe for work.

This is a capsule wardrobe from Nordstrom you can afford but can’t mess up. My athleisure capsule wardrobe is made with fashionable pieces on sale at Nordstrom now so you can look your best even when you’re off duty. All of these quality athleisure-inspired pieces are stylish and comfortable. Pick 8 to mix and match however you like to make more than a week’s worth of outfits.

I swear I don’t need anything else this summer because I just went shopping at Saks and found 6 elevated essentials at mix and match to make a minimalistic summer capsule wardrobe.
