Are you shopping the Nordstrom sale? While its easy to become caught up in the sales, purchasing classic clothes and accessories is always a good idea.

I always think the sales are the ideal time to find something youve had your eye on for a while at a discount, or to choose timeless, yet quality items that you can wear now and for many seasons to come.

With the winter Nordstrom sale now starting, here are my picks that you can wear now.

4. Suede moto jacket

A moto jacket is one of the most versatile coats you can have in your closet. However, a traditional black moto can sometimes look a little out of place in the spring or summer months, depending on how you style it.

Instead, you could opt for suede in a soft color.

Huge hoop earrings were a major trend for spring and summer on all the fashion week runways.
