Must-Have Boots & Shoes for Fall

I tried to keep this "must-have" list as short as possible but it amazes me how much a single pair of shoes can take an entire outfit from casual to dressy or somewhere in between. I'm all for comfort 99, if not 100, percent of the time and, fortunately, you do not have to sacrifice style for comfort. I can certainly appreciate a good ol' pair of tan over-the-knee boots and some cute black heel booties because I absolutely love what they can do for any outfit, but I didn't include them here because I honestly can't remember the time I wore either. Let's get rollin' on this list, shall we?

BOOTS

We'll start off with boots because, well, they've been stuck in our closets all summer, so why not?

CHELSEA BOOTS

So, apparently this style of boot is called the Chelsea boot and not just by this particular brand. If you Google "Chelsea boots" this style comes up from various brands. (Maybe I'm the only one that didn't know that was an actual style of boots vs just what a brand names them?) Regardless, I have been crushhhing on these since I saw them in the Nordstrom sale. So much so that I actually got them in black and white. Here are a few ways I styled them:

oversized sweatshirt with faux leather leggings and chelsea boots

COMBAT BOOTS

One of the pictures below is of the black Chelsea boots, but I feel they are just different enough that a pair of combat boots is also necessary. (Also, I technically had the combat boots first, but I really do love them!) Either way, you honestly could wear either with any of the outfits.

TAN BOOTS

I'm not exactly sure what this next style is called (maybe still a Chelsea boot?), but I'm obsessed with them!

olive green Free People destroyed army jacket

And I couldn't talk about tan boots without mentioning these babies, because they are probably my most worn pair of boots. They're also probably the dressiest pair I have on the list, but I also love them with some 90's jeans and an oversized tshirt for a more casual look.

cream sweater with blue jeans and tan booties

oversized plaid shirt with jeans and tan booties

oversized tshirt with 90's jeans and tan booties

Honestly, this is probably my favorite outfit ever and I wear these three pieces SO much!

FLATS

A good pair or two of flats (because ya gotta have a light and a dark, right?) are obviously going to be on the list. I love that flats can dress up any outfit, but still keep it comfortable. Have you caught on yet that I'm all about comfort!?

SNEAKERS

Speaking of comfort, sneakers are definitely the category of shoes that I have and wear the most. Black, white or dirty, (Yes, dirty. See below.) I love them all!

New Year's Eve 2020

New Year's Eve will likely look a bit different for most this year. Jose and I will be watching the ball drop from our couch, with our babies and some popcorn. To be honest, I doubt we would've been doing NYE any different anyways. One, I'm a total homebody and, two, our past New Year's Eves for as long as I can remember have looked pretty much just like this. Which I love! The idea of getting all dressed up and hanging out with friends always sounds like so much fun, until it actually comes down to it and I would just always rather be at home. I'm real fun at parties, guys. Anyways, whether you're doing a virtual cocktail style party, a small gathering, or a cozy night in with you and yours, I've gotcha covered in the outfit department.

2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

In true Jenna form, here I am at the 11th hour with my NSale picks! If you’re new to shopping the Nordstrom sale, this sale is a great opportunity to get new fall merchandise at a significant discount. (Most sales are on older items, so that's why this sale is such a big deal.) Be careful not to go crazy because it is very easy to do. Been there, done that. That being said, if you’re unsure of sizes or on the fence about something, I would suggest buying it or buying both items and returning the ones that don’t fit. Items go very fast. Nordstrom offers free shipping and free returns, so you can send back anything you decide you don't want to keep. Also, items go in and out of stock throughout the sale. It's been just one day for Icon status shoppers to shop and I've already seen a few things go out of stock. (I can't shop until Monday.) I kept them on here, because many of them will be restocked before the sale is over. I will do my best to keep you posted when certain items come back in stock.

I picked my favorites in each category and linked them all below their respective board. If you're not able to shop yet, you can click the links now and save them to your Liketoknow.It Favorites, so they're easier to access for when you are able to shop. I still have a few more boards to go, but wanted to get this up for those who are interested. Don't forget, you can start browsing here to get an idea of what you'll want to buy before the sale begins. This will be my third year shopping the sale, so I feel like I have a decent amount of knowledge of how things work, so if you have questions, just ask!
