The Nordstrom 6 May Drop Meets My European Summer Carry-On | 11 Pieces, 173 Outfits

Six years ago, I started the Nordstrom 6, and I underestimated us. Six years in, we’re still picking six pieces you need now, month after month. This May, three of the six landed straight into my European Summer Carry-On. The capsule: 11 pieces, 173 outfits. The framework: Sudoku on Steroids. The controversial pick this month? Yes, low-rise jeans over 40 — because we’re cool, not crazy. We just know how to style them. Here’s how I’m wearing all six, plus the three that made the carry-on cut.

6 Years of the N6

When I founded the Nordstrom 6 I underestimated the goals of this group because it been 6 years and we are still sharing six pieces you need now every month. This is how I’m styling all 6 pieces this month, and another look at my new European Summer Carry-on Capsule that makes more than 128 outfits, not including accessories.  

The 3 That Crossed Into My Carry-On

A cardigan is my favorite travel essential, maybe ever. Styles this one as a top, a shoulder-scarf, or a waist-tie without adding bulk to your bag.

Low-Rise Jeans Over 40: Cool, Not Crazy

This month we chose a “low-rise” jean , and we are all over 40, proving we’re cool, not crazy! Tuck in a top and belt them, or wear a top untucked that at least meets and greets at the waistband.
