Happy Friday, Friends!
I feel like my blog lately has been full of family and adoption-two of my FAVORITE things-but today we’re gonna chat about another FAVORITE-the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Today is the first day the sale is live and open to the public. You don’t have to be a card holder to shop anymore! I’ve gotta be honest every year I approach this sale differently. Sometimes basing it all on what I see and love. Sometimes basing it on what’s already in my closet. Sometimes basing it on getting the biggest savings. Seriously, I’m all over the board when it comes to this sale. This year I tried to only invest in pieces I know I’ll wear time and time again.
I ordered a ton of things just to check them all out, try them on, and these are my absolute FAVORITES…
This Topshop cardigan is a little out of the box for me, but paired with these new AG jeans {love, love, love them and I’ve figured out I’ll always grab the AG’s over the other denim in my closet} and cute booties it’s me! I also think the cardigan will be cute with my black jeans for another look. You might be seeing this cardigan a LOT! 🙂 I thought everything pictured was true to size, but I do like cardigans on the bigger side. If you want it to fit more snugly, I’d size down. {The cardigan is out of stock but I’ll keep checking back for you.}
A ruffle sleeve and I are pretty much like peanut butter and jelly. We just go together. I’m already picturing this top under a fur vest! Won’t that be cute? Again, pictured with my new favorite denim and booties. Let me add, if you’re on the fence about the booties-these are so comfortable. Last year I bought several different pairs of boots and booties and I always grab the comfy pair. This is the pair I will grab. No doubt!
Look how cute the sleeves are! {True to size as well}
This sweater is the PERFECT fall color. It’s a bit on the shorter side and I’m a bit on the longer side but paired with a cami I love it. It’s a really pretty gold shimmery color. If the weather ever gets cool, you’ll see me in this over and over again. Scratch that, on November 1st I’m wearing this sweater whether it’s cool or not! {TTS, but on the shorter side-be aware}
The new blardigan everyone is talking about found a new home in my closet as well. I grab a cardigan of some sort every time we get home. After the gym, after church, even after the pool…I’ve been known to be working in my office in a swimsuit, cover up, and cardigan. #truth
Last year I bought this same cardigan in maroon and was shocked at how often I reached for it in my closet. When I saw it again in the sale, I knew I needed another color. This light pink/blush for the win!
I wanted you to see the back is longer than the front. 🙂 I stuck with my normal size.
A sweatshirt disguised as a cute top? YES! This top runs a little on the larger side. I liked the bigger fit in the sweatshirt but if you don’t, I’d size down.
In Texas, I really only need a big coat like this about three times every year, but last year I found myself in Denver, Vail, and Park City. In each of those cities, I was dreaming of a warmer parka so when I saw this in the sale I pounced. A great price for a great coat I’ll have for years.
TTS and again…wanted you to see the length.
Okay, imagine this grey top all nice and ironed. It’s a really thin top with bell sleeves that will be great under vests or cardigans. {Sold out right now too.} I paired it with the maroon AG jeans and these booties. {All TTS and these booties are my FAVORITE!}
I added a new cardigan because I have a problem. #whatcanisay #iliketobecozy
This is my thought on stocking up on cardigans during the sale…when I’m browsing the mall a cardigan never catches my eye. I love them. Wear them all the time, but I’m not going to walk across the store to look at a cardigan I spotted. However, I will walk across the store for a top I see that really catches my eye.
Okay, if I was about three inches shorter this dress would be a FAVORITE. It was a little too short on me. There’s an outer layer that’s see through and then the non-see through layer is about two inches above that so just too much leg on me. If you’re under 5’5″ then I’d highly recommend it. {It’s sold out right now, but I’ll keep you posted.}
I love this dress. Love the floral. Love the fit. Love it! And I paired it with the booties again.
This one is going back but if you’re in the market for a little black dress, this one is pretty-a little different and a great price. I have two other black dresses in my closet and just can’t justify another one at the moment. But this one is great.
I scored this pajama set. The shorts are a little on the shorter side (and they’re in the washing machine now so I’ll let you know how they wash and dry). I’d much prefer to sleep in a longer sleeve shirt with shorts so this combo is my jam.
This Free People sweater is part of the sale and is fabulous! I bought it last year in a dark purple and wore it a ton. They have all new colors this year and I think you’ll love it.
I know this is a hard picture to really see my leggings, but the Spanx leather leggings are my FAVORITES! I bought them last year and wore them a ton! Perfect for traveling. They’re part of the sale…check them out!
I’ll keep you posted if I see those out of stock items get restocked. Happy Shopping, Friends! XO
