Nordstrom Sale Try-Ons + Top Picks

For those of you who have been patiently waiting, today is the day that Nordstrom opens their Anniversary Sale to the general public!  I decided to do another post highlighting a few top picks & I’m also sharing my personal reviews for the items I purchased from the sale.  You can view my first post with a comprehensive round-up of the best pieces here.

I tried to approach the sale differently this year – to be honest, I have plenty of fall clothes, so there weren’t significant wardrobe gaps that I needed to fill – for that reason, I didn’t purchase any booties, handbags or jeans (even though there are many great options included in the sale).  I didn’t want to get so blinded by the lowered prices that I impulse purchased too many things…so I tried to be strategic & smart with my shopping.  

WHAT I BOUGHT & LOVED


1) Tie-Front Pullover (comes in 6 colors – wearing an X-Small)
This was one of my absolute favorite purchases – it’s unbelievably soft & comfortable & will be great for lounging around the house or for running errands on the weekend.  I’d recommend sizing down for a more fitted look, but if you like your tops a bit more slouchy, you can order your usual size.  (Similar Jeans // Satin Sneakers)

2) Cashmere Vest (also in black, charcoal, navy & camel)
This was definitely a splurge item for me, but I’ve learned that cashmere is always worth the investment.  This is so soft & really lightweight, so it will be a versatile layering piece this fall – I can see this being my go-to for travel! (Similar Striped Tee // Similar Faux Leather Pants // Similar Pumps)

3) Striped Off-The-Shoulder Top (also in gray, black stripe & black – wearing a Small)
I’m a sucker for stripes and I loved the unusual colors on this top.  It’s slightly fitted with a good amount of stretch, so I found it to be really flattering.  I also plan on wearing this with jeans & over-the-knee boots.  Warning: this might not work for petites – it has a generous length through the torso & the sleeves.  (Similar Skirt // Similar Peep-Toe Booties // Earrings)

4) Suede Moto Jacket (also in brick & gray – wearing a Small)
Another splurge item, but I’ve been wanting a jacket this color for years!  The suede feels so luxurious and the rich cognac hue is perfect for fall.  This one has more of a slim fit compared to most moto jackets (which can be quite boxy), so if you want to layer it over chunkier sweaters, you might want to go up a size. (Similar Sweater // Similar Jeans // Similar Flats)

** Three other items I’ve ordered but haven’t arrived yet are this short-sleeve tee (in black/white stripe), this dress (in burgundy) & this long-sleeve tee (in white/black stripe) – I’m happy to share my thoughts on sizing & quality once they arrive!

WHAT I BOUGHT & RETURNED

Faux Leather Leggings
These run small, so my usual size (27) was a bit too snug.  I also thought the fabric felt really cheap and it made squeaking noises when I moved around.  For those reasons, they got returned & I decided to order this pair instead, which everyone seems to be raving about!
Studded Bow Flats 
I have been needing a new pair of black flats, so these looked promising.  They are beautiful in person & the quality did impress me, but they run a bit narrow and I didn’t care for the amount of “toe cleavage” they showed.  I really wished these had worked because they are so gorgeous.  If you have a slimmer foot & don’t mind less coverage on the top of your foot, I would recommend giving them a try (I found these ran true to size).  Another more classic option are these leather scalloped flats.

Over-The-Knee Boots
I have a hard time finding over-the-knee boots that work for me and these fit amazingly well through the leg.  But because they were so tailored at the ankle, they made my feet look huge & clunky in proportion (I wear a size 9.5).  I also didn’t feel that the quality lived up to the price, especially since this is more than I’d usually spend on boots.  If you’re looking for a similar option, these get great reviews & are under $90.
