Nordstrom Anniversary Sale – Must Haves

Early Access Picks

 Tank // Jeans // Booties // Watch 

Side Slit Tank (Now: $19 // After Sale: ): I shared this tank on instagram and it was an instant fave. Nobody can turn down a basic tank! It’s made of the dreamiest fabric that is SO SOFT! I love the length of this one because I can knot it up or wear it with leggings! I’m wearing a size small. 

SP Black Ripped High Waisted Skinny Jeans (Now: $39 // After Sale: $59): These are an Nsale STEAL! I’m wearing these jeans with just about every look below because they might be my new favorite pair of distressed denim. I was shocked at the under $40 price tag when I put them on. The fit is similar to one of my all time favorite pairs of jeans that are closer to $100. I ordered a size smaller than I usually do (wearing a size 24), because of the high waisted fit, and they fit like a glove. I also love the raw hem! 

Skagen Mesh Strap Watch (Now: $110 // After Sale: $165): My husband got me this watch for Christmas and I love it! It has a gorgeous rose gold face and a pretty silver mesh band. The mesh band is fairly dainty, but I love that it has a bigger face. Buy this as a gift to yourself…I promise you won’t regret it 🙂

 Tank // Jeans // Mules // Faux Leather Jacket 

Side Slit Tank (Now: $19 // After Sale: )

SP Black Ripped High Waisted Skinny Jeans (Now: $39 // After Sale: $59)

BlankNYC Moto Jacket (Now: $65 // After Sale: $98 ): I bought this jacket last year and wore it so much over the fall and winter!  It was perfect for layering and I loved styling it with dresses in the early fall last year! This years is identical except where mine has silver hardware, this one has gold which I LOVE! The fit of this jacket is perfection! I ordered a size small so I could layer with sweaters in the winter! If you don’t plan on layering, size down! 

Top // Jeans // Mules // Watch 

Thermal Top (Now: $25 // After Sale: $38): A soft slouchy top you will want to wear on repeat. This comfy cozy piece comes in a few colors and I wouldn’t mind owning them all! It has a flattering fit and is so soft! This does run large and I might have preferred an XS but went for a small for that oversized fit!

Tory Burch ‘Frida’ Leather Satchel (Now: $330 // After Sale: $498): I’ve had the smaller version of this bag for a few years now and it is still one of my go to’s! It comes in 3 colors, but let me tell you that the french grey is even more gorgeous in person! This bag is made of the most high quality pebbled leather and is sure to be your go to handbag for years to come. 

 Cami // Jeans // Mules 

Lace Trim Satin Cami (Now: // After Sale: ): Run, don’t walk to buy this cami! Trust me, you won’t regret it! This is such a pretty piece to wear alone or layer up with a cardi or moto jacket.

Topshop Stripe Colorblock Cardi (Now: // After Sale: ): Chances are you’ve seen this cardi around. It was actually the first thing I ordered on a whim at 1am in the morning when the sale opened early access and it’s basically been sold out ever since. I’m hoping they restock this cozy cardi because it really is as good as you think it is. So soft and perfectly oversized, this will be my go to in the winter time! It runs VERY oversized! I’m wearing a US 2.

The ones you always put on when you have nothing to wear and you feel like a million bucks? Enter this sweater! I can already foresee that this is going to get a lot of wear in the upcoming months!

BlankNYC Suede Moto Jacket (Now: // After Sale: ): One of my most worn pieces from the sale last year, I couldn’t recommend this jacket enough! The quality is amazing and it’s thick enough that I could easily pair it with a sweater in the winter and stay warm enough for date night! The colors available this year are GORGEOUS…the grey is on my wishlist if it comes back in stock! I ordered a small for layering purposes! 

 Dress // Boots 

Free People ‘Perfectly Victorian’ Mini Dress (Now: $110 // After Sale: $168 ) I own this dress in not one, not two, but three colors now. But do you blame me?? The moment I saw this gorgeous fall color combo I had to get it! I wear these dresses year round, pairing them with tights, boots and sweaters in the fall and winter. They are gorgeous, airy little pieces that are perfect for the summer too! This dress is available in 3 stunning colors. I’m wearing an XS. 

 Dress // Booties 

BP Slipdress (Now: $32 // After Sale: $49): The moment I got this dress (literally), I ripped off the tags and wore it out the door for date night! This is the perfect transition dress…I even did a whole post sharing how I would transition it from summer to fall which you can check out here! I love that it has adjustable straps and the color is just perfect for fall! It also comes in a gorgeous floral print! I’m wearing a size XS. 

 Tee // Jeans // Mules 

Lush V-Neck Tee (Now: $16 // After Sale: $24): I purchased this tee in multiple colors, and is definitely a must have from the sale! A few people mentioned it running large, but I like a slightly oversized tee so I can tuck it or knot it. Size up if you want that slouchy fit! I’m wearing a small. 

AG Jeans (Now: $150 // After Sale: $225 ): I’ve wanted these jeans for awhile and finally decided to make the splurge and I am so glad I did!! These jeans are definitely worth it…no wonder everybody raves about them! They fit like a glove, are super comfortable, and as much as I love distressed denim, the non-distressing allows me to wear these to work! I ordered a size 25.

AG Jeans (Now: $150 // After Sale: $225 )

BP Cardigan (Now: $32 // After Sale: $49): For two years in a row, this cardi has stole the show. It’s a steal of a deal at under $35, that you might as well pick up one, two or five colors! I bought it in two colors last year and wore them SO much! The length makes them perfect for layering with dresses, tights and boots in the winter time! 

Scarf (Now: $16 // After Sale: $25): The color combo on this scarf is even prettier in person! It’s lightweight too, so it’s perfect for early fall when it’s chilly, but just not cold enough to pull out your coat!

 Sweater // Scarf // Jeans // Booties 

Tunic Sweater (Now: $30 // After Sale: $45 ): I’m not sure how this sweater is still almost fully stocked in all sizes. If only you could feel how incredibly soft it is! This is another sweater that is perfect for work and the weekend. Who doesn’t love a versatile piece?? I’m wearing a size small and love the oversized fit. 

Buffalo Check Scarf (Now: $16 // After Sale: $25): A cozy plaid scarf is one of my fall essentials and this one is one of my favorites! I love that it’s not so oversized it looks ridiculous on and you can actually move your neck while wearing it! It doesn’t hurt that it’s also SUPER soft! It comes in a black and white combo too!

They do run super oversized, I’m wearing an XS! 

Zella Live In High Waisted Leggings (Now: $36 // After Sale: $54): I get a pair of these every year and they definitely live up to their name!

 Kristin Cavallari ‘Capri’ Mule (Now: $80 // After Sale: $120 ) 

I’ve had these mules in the caramel suede since December and wear them SO frequently that when I saw they were a part of the sale I had to snatch them up in another color! These are my go to shoes when I don’t know what to wear! These cuties are so comfortable that I can last a whole day at work on my feet with out any discomfort! They come in 3 colors and I might need the black too! I ordered a size 7, my regular size.  This super similar pair is also a part of the sale and I’ve heard rave reviews on them! They are $20 cheaper! 

 Vince Camuto ‘Karinta’ Block Heel Booties (Now: $100 // After Sale: $150 )

These opened toed booties are not only comfortable, but have gorgeous detailing too! I know I will be wearing these all fall long, but have already worn them to dinner with a dress! They come in 3 colors and as much as I wanted to taupe, I bought the grey instead (I already have 5 pairs of taupe booties!) and I am so glad I did! This color is gorgeous! I got my regular size, a size 7! 

Hinge Block Heel Booties (Now: $80 // After Sale: $120): A comfy classic pair of booties that will go with everything! Wear these with a dress or your favorite denim now and into the fall!
