    As a shopping editor, I know how to snag a great deal. At this point, it’s second nature—As soon as I see a cute, affordable piece, it immediately lands in my online shopping cart. To prove it, I scoured the chicest fall finds in Nordstrom’s Summer Sale section to find the best ones under $100.

    These picks cover a wide range. I found minimalist items like sweaters and luxurious cashmere scarves that are perfect for building a capsule wardrobe, alongside others that highlight the season's biggest trends. And if you're all set with your clothing and just want a stylish pair of fall shoes, I've got those too, from sneakers to adorable ballet flats. Consider your essentials taken care of.

    Keep scrolling to shop like an editor for the rest of the sale. The discounts, some of which are up to 60 percent off, will only last through September 9.
