Okay so I am SURE you have heard all about the Nordstrom Anniversary sale by now…It is mainly fall/winter pieces that go on major sale, perfect time to stock up on things you need to add to your wardrobe at a discounted price! I am sure you are thinking is this worth the hype? I can honestly say I have been shopping this sale since high school before the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale was even covered like it is today on social media. The key is to not overspend and pick up classic staples, refills of everyday beauty products, and pieces you currently do not have in your closet. By all means do not by something just because of the discount, really think of how you would wear it and if you already own something just like it. With that said I am here to help round up my favorites of the sale! So lets jump into the details first.
How/When to Shop the Sale
–Early Access July 12th-18th: This is for Nordstrom card holders only. If you do not have early access, this is still a great time for you to look on the website to see what you are interested in and start adding items to your wishlist. When the sale opens to the public you will have all your picks ready and be able to see if anything comes back in stock if one of your favorites has already sold out! The advantage to the Nordstrom card is getting first picks of items since things do tend to sell out fast!
–Public Access July 19th- August 4th: EVERYONE can shop the sale!
Now onto the fun stuff….
Clothing
Okay so to be honest, I wasn’t that in love with the clothing options this year. All items throughout this post are things that I either already own and love or tried on/bought so I can attest to the quality and the versatility!
Tops
–Socialite Long Sleeve Thermal: This was one of my favorite pieces I picked up from the sale last year and I was so happy to see they brought it back! It is thin enough to layer up in the winter and also wear alone while lounging around the house.
–ASTR The Label Short Sleeve Jacquard Top: Honestly was so pleasantly surprised by this piece! I never usually like tops with elastic bands at the bottom, but this one hit in just the right place that it looks great with high waisted jeans! And I mean we know me, can’t pass up red. Could dress this down for the day or throw on with a skirt and heels for at night!
Jeans
Above is in the previous two photos features two of these jeans!
–Madewell High Waist Skinny Jeans Button Edition: So these are a little bit of a darker wash than I own but in whatever color these jeans are awesome. They are so flattering on any body type and the jeans are so comfortable that I could lounge around in them for hours. I love a jean that has some stretch to it and sucks you all in. I did size down in these since the material is stretchy and will give a little while wearing.
–Paige Transcend: Paige denim is BY FAR my favorite denim of all time. The way it shapes to your body is everything. These are comfortable as well but not as much as the Madewell pair. I have been wear Paige for years and love so many of the styles and washes. My favorite style is not in the anniversary sale, but the Transcend is my second favorite. It is not an ultra skinny ankle so keep that in mind. Paige denim also holds up for yearssss I have had one pair for going on 6 years. Now that is an investment!
–Levi’s Ribcage Super High Waist Ankle Straight Leg: So I finally got a pair of Levi’s denim!! I could never find a pair where I felt comfortable with the fit but these were everything. I loved the flair it added with the wider leg since I do not have anything like this. Cant wait to wear these year round!
Jackets
–BLANKNYC Next Level Motto Jacket: One of my favorite jackets ever!! Picked this up I believe 2 years ago in the sale in gray and brown. So easy to throw on and goes with everything in the fall and winter. A staple piece you will have forever!
–Topshop Kota Crop Faux Leather Moto Jacket: So this was a last minute add to the cart and I am so glad I did! My friend picked this up first and I had to follow suite it was too good. I already have a leather jacket but it is much more fitted and I liked the edgy hardware it had. Honestly the price was so good I had to add it to my closet. A leather jacket is such a go to in the fall and winter and I cant wait to wear it!
Dresses
Sadly the other dress I wanted to pick up sold out before I could get it, but this one is a go to in my wardrobe!
–ASTR The Label Lace Midi Dress: One of my favorite special occasion dresses! I already own this dress in red and it is perfect for any weddings or special events you have. It comes in this gorgeous purple and 7 other colors!
Athletic
–Zella High Waist Leggings: I fell in love with Zella leggings after last years sale. They are such good quality and dare I saw rival my lululemon pair. I ventured outside my comfort zone this year and picked up the red pair highly recommend for yoga or lounging around the house LOL whatever you prefer. I personally size down in this brand.
Shoes
–Sam Edelman Hiltin Knee High Boot: I purchased these last winter when they were on sale and loved them! They are so versatile to dress up or down and are a timeless piece that will not go out of style. I loved the heel since I do not own any boots like this, something to dress a look up.
–Tory Burch Everly Slide Sandal: I fell in love with these Tory Burch slides. I think its because they usually don’t come with designs like this. This was my splurge item from the shoe selection. I felt like the style was classic and can be worn from spring, summer and fall here in Texas.
Beauty
–GloPRO: FINALLY got this awesome beauty tool! It kind of looks intimidating/ scary but do yourself a favor and follow Beauty Bio as well as Jamie O’Banion the founder on Instagram, so interesting and informational. I watched countless videos on the tool and the benefits it provides. I won’t be able to explain as well as Jamie can, but the just of it is the tool creates channels to allow quicker absorption of your beauty products. This makes product sink into your skin deeper seeing better results and your skincare will not just sit on the surface of your skin! I cannot wait to let y’all know my thoughts!
–Beauty Blender Set: Perfect time of the year to pick up the everyday essential. You save $5 and get this awesome traveling case to keep your beauty blender from getting dirty on the go in your makeup bag.
Home
–Kennebunk Bliss Plush Throw: This blanket is only $25 and comes in 17 colors!! I mean that’s crazy. A great addition to any cozy space in your home as well as an awesome gift!
–Hydroflask: Cannot live without this on the day to day now. I just shared this in my June favorites but this water bottle allows me to drink so much more water on a daily basis and keeps my water cold for hours!
And that wraps up another year of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale!! What pieces did you find?!
