Fun fact: As an editor who lives for the start of the fall fashion season, I didn't spend much time in New York this September. In between work trips and vacations abroad, I was soaking in the last remaining days of summer as much as I possibly could. Now that I'm back in New York, true chilly fall weather has begun to creep in. Even though this will be my second fall living in a city that *actually* experiences seasons, I've still been unable to master the art of fall dressing on a budget. Sure, I have my trusted array of trendy denim and long-sleeve coats that will make the next few months bearable, but all in all, my closet is still majorly struggling for fall—especially when it comes to my limited budget. Thankfully, that's where Nordstrom comes in.
After spending four hours on the site and doing more damage than I care to admit, I've found the must-have fall essentials well under $100 that'll seamlessly take your closet from summer to fall. With high-heat sweaters, ankle booties, and dark-wash denim I can't seem to get enough of, prepare to live out your Pumpkin Spice Latte, Rory Gilmore–era fall fantasies with these adorable, well-priced basics. Try to resist the temptation to buy every single one of these 30 cute buys.
This adorable ribbed top styled with classic jeans makes for the perfect going-out 'fit.
No matter how many times I write about, wear, and review this shirt, the bottom line is always the same: If you buy one thing on this shopping list, let it be my personal holy-grail item.
These are en route as we speak.
Wait… I think I actually need this.
Can you really have too many pairs of jeans? Asking for a friend.
Meet the everyday top that kick-started my obsession.
My jaw is on the floor.
Although cargos feel like a too-timely Y2K staple, these would look so chic with a cozy white sweater.
This silhouette is French girl approved.
Although you'd think that simple white cotton tanks are far past their prime as we solidly enter the fall season, Bottega Veneta's F/W 23 runway proves the opposite.
The perfect fall shoes don't exis–

One of the best purchases you can make this season, hands down.
An oversize sweaterdress with some knee-high leather boots is always a good outfit combination.
An elevated belt takes an otherwise boring outfit to a chic, put-together look.
These look expensive.
Okay, I'm mildly obsessed with the fit of this tee.
This nostalgic shoes just scream fall in my eyes.
Black denim has to be one of my favorite jeans trends of the season.
I'll leave you with this pretty find.
