Today's installment of what you NEED for fall in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is all about great pieces for work.

I'll start with blouses. You'll see I love that little bow around the collar, and if you reach for one, I know you will quickly agree it is a welcome sophisticated, feminine added touch to the otherwise boring or just OK blouse. I love this oxblood one and this sleeveless one. This basic black number has the perfect shape. Several of these blouses are great for work but will also play double duty for a casual weekend day or night out on the town. Click HERE if you can't see the below images.

Moving right along, I love dresses. I think is important to have one great suit in your wardrobe, but dresses are the easiest work ticket. One way I carry my basic summer shifts into fall is by layering a thin turtleneck underneath, like this. Not to mention, it's a great price for Alice + Olivia! Your CPW just cut in half and your wardrobe doubled in value!

And now onto blazers, jackets and coats. Blazers, as we know, are the best way to top off any outfit for work if you want to pull it all together with polish. Here are several great options, including layering vests.
