Happy Friday! These cords from MOTHER look great for fall — and they’re on sale!
I may be a bit biased because a few years ago, I had a pair of cords this exact color (from some less auspicious brand, possibly Old Navy)… and I wore them into the ground because it was such a great color. The pants went with black! They went with navy! They went with dark fall colors like purple and green — and I even liked them with Christmas red. As it moved into January I’d pair them with lighter blues and even some pastels if it was a cold spring.
The cut of these cords is definitely trendy — I’m seeing them with lug soled boots for cold weather, and mules, clogs, sneakers, or loafers for less cool weather.
The cords are on sale as part of Nordstrom’s Fall Savings Event, with prices up to 25% off through Sept. 24. They were $248, but are currently marked to $186.
Other brands that are tempting me in the sale: Reiss, Frame, Paige, Vince, Tumi backpacks, RMS makeup, and Theory. There are also a ton of great items from Zella (workout duds), Natori (this is a reader favorite bra!), Barefoot Dreams (sweaters and throws), and AGL.
