Fall is almost here, so it’s time to start looking the part in the office. Classic black trousers are always right, and to add a little somthin’ somthin’ to the overall look, I picked up this asymmetrical plaid blouse. It’s office appropriate yet still showing style. Love that!

Of course, the most important part of an outfit is the base. These fabulous boots by Ally have arch support! This means I can walk and stand for hours without pain in my foot. As someone who suffers from planter fasciitis, this is key. These boots are comfortable and supportive. Love them!

Shoe capsule wardrobe fall 2026

I love fall shoes! My shoe capsule wardrobe for fall 2026 is filled with suede, autumn hues, and comfortable footwear. Love that!

Arch support is extremely important, so I have been sticking with shoes I can walk in and also provide arch support. Five out of the six pairs shown above provide arch support whether through built-in arches or heel height. While the brown flats don’t have arch support, they are still comfortable.

These suede high heels are complete game changers. The arch support allows me to walk for miles, stand for long periods of time, and wear them all day without pain. Since they are the stars of my high heel wardrobe, I recently picked up a second pair by Ally; these black boots for fall.

Ally is fast becoming one of my favorite footwear brands. All of their shoes have arch support and are made for walking, standing, and wearing for long periods of time. They are perfect for the office, attending events, and more. I am in love! I plan on adding more of their shoes to my collection over time. They are timeless styles, so definitely investment purchases! Love!

Discount code for Ally shoes: CATHY10 can save you 10% on your purchase. Love that!

Lonza is also fast becoming a new favorite. While their shoes don’t provide built-in arch support, they are comfortable and well-made, as well as affordable. I love their trendier styles. These kitten heels are amazing! Use code CATHY15 to save 15% off your purchase!

Of course, my fall shoe capsule also includes staples from my closet such as these black flats and charcoal boots. I love footwear which stands the test of time.

Best of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2026

Best of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2026 from top left: short sleeve sweater / Prada lipstick set / classic v-neck sweater / ring / reversible belt / Hermes fragrance set / pearl earrings / Kiehl’s face cream / classic slingbacks / grey suede boots / black Mary Jane block heels /

It’s here! If you have a Nordstrom credit card, you already know your shopping date, if not, the sale opens up to the public on July 18, 2026.

In person, the NSALE is crazy! I can’t shop like that, so I find online shopping is much more relaxing. Some of the sale inventory is pre-fall, while other items are late summer. Before you start shopping, know what you need in your closet. I recommend pre-fall over late summer since you can wear pre-fall well into the fall season.

The key is to not over-buy from this sale. The fall trends aren’t here yet, so this sale is great for buying basics and classic items which will work for several seasons. Remember the sale rule, if you wouldn’t pay full price, don’t buy it on sale.

My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks are very curated this year. Normally I find a large amount of fabulous merchandise to recommend, but this year, I am sticking to more timeless items which will blend into our wardrobes right now and well into the fall season. If you live in a climate such as California, these styles will work throughout winter too.

So, without further ado, here are my picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for 2026:
