Today is the first day of the Nordstrom Anniversary Early Access Sale for cardholders! So, I’m NOT a fan of shopping in store unless its Target, Kendra Scott, or Erin Condren. But even at Target & especially at Nordstrom, I ALWAYS buy online & pick it up in store. & for the Anniversary Sale I HIGHLY recommend it. They also have a promotion during Early Access where if you chose to buy online & pick up in store than you get a $10 Reward for after the sale which comes in handy for Back to School!
I did my online order & then I browsed Nordstrom just to see if there was anything else I wanted to share with y’all but I pretty much covered all of my favorites & definite top sellers with y’all (that you can see on the 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Guide post or on the #NSALE tab.
I didn’t go too crazy this year, as I mentioned in my #NSALE on a Budget post. I bought A LOT last year (you can see a portion of what I bought on this post from last year’s sale) & everything I bought last year still fits & I’ll wear again this year. I ALWAYS stick with basics/closet staples so that I can mix & match and wear different items different ways! So this year, I just focused on adding new pieces & I was looking for items that I didn’t have or wanted in a different colour!
I bought:
Marc Fisher Vega Sandal
My FAVOURITE purchase this year! I absolutely LOVE these Marc Fisher booties! These were the first item in my cart this morning! I bought these in CoCo Beige, my feet are a little wide but they still fit in my normal size! & they are 40% off for the sale. I was initially going to get these AND the Vince Camuto Gigietta Bootie, but due to budget restrictions, I just ordered these & I LOVE these so much more. I personally prefer peep toe booties, I think they’re cuter, but I also live in Texas & we don’t really have a “fall.” It’s a little cooler but its still warm in the “fall” so I like open shoes more! & I feel like I can wear these year round because they are open. I know the Vince Camuto Gigietta Bootie is a top seller but this is my highly recommended bootie!
Lace Trim Satin Camisole Top
I bought the black & white cami’s last year & LOVE them. This cami sold out frequently last year & that’s because its THE BEST CAMI. I highly recommend this cami because you wear it when dressing up or down, you can wear to work under a blazer, & you can wear all year long! I bought the leopard cami for this year & I LOVE IT. These cami’s come in ALL sizes from XXS to 4X & they are on sale for $25.90. They’re such a great steal that I’m considering buying another black & white one again this year because I wear them A LOT. & I’m pretty sure my boyfriend shrunk them when he did the laundry..
Free People Citrine Textured Cotton Blend Top
So I wanted to get new long sleeves & I was looking at simple long sleeve tees but then I see these in store when I was browsing after I picked up my online purchase, tried it on, & LOVED IT. I bought the white one in store & then I ordered the black one online (they didn’t have any left in store!). I LOVE this top. It’s SO flattering & it’s just a nice everyday top especially for fall and winter. I HIGHLY recommend going down a size, the Nordstrom website says that its true to size (TTS) but it’s already made a little larger especially since its “flowy” at the bottom. & Ive had a top similar to this from free people (that I think I got at the NSale last year) & it stretched a little! & I ALWAYS size up so maybe you should go down 2 sizes? LOL. But I’m normally buy an XL, but I bought the large & it fits perfectly. So in short: I definitely recommend this top & recommend sizing down.
TOPSHOP Long Cardigan
This was my the second item in my cart after the BP Leopard Laci Cami & part of my first #NSale Purchase! I ordered this Cardigan this morning because I LOVED the way it looked online. I love the way it was styled online & I love the way that I saw Caitlin Covington from Southern Curls & Pearls style it on her page! I LOVE this cardigan, it definitely a top seller & that’s because its versatile and SO SOFT! It’s stretchy & because of the slits on the side, it’s different than other cardigans in your closet!
Longline Open Cardigan
So when I was browsing, I saw this Cardigan & thought it was soo soft & I really liked it, but when I picked it up I noticed it was a long cardigan so I put it back down. It’s not really my “style” and I pictured it with jeans & tank and I didn’t think that would be a good look for me (personally, looks cute on a lot of other people!). BUT when I got home I was watching Emily Herren from Champagne & Chanel‘s Instagram story & saw her pair this sweater with booties & a dress and I INSTANTLY BOUGHT IT. I never thought (for some strange reason) of pairing a long sweater with my dresses. I really liked the sweater in store, I just didn’t think I would wear it with jeans & that’s mainly how I see long cardigans styled. BUT this is probably going to be my favourite fall transition piece because I can wear this cardigan with all of my summer dresses in the fall. & this cardigan is only $31.90! I ordered the Biege Oatmeal Light Heather & may order the Grey later on..
Good American Jeans
So I only bought one pair of jeans this year. I just didn’t love the rest of the selection. I liked a lot of jeans & there are great choices but I personally love Good American because they’re so comfortable and so slimming. So I ordered the Good American Good Legs High Waist Skinny Jeans. Good American has been my favourite jean brand since last Anniversary Sale when I bought my first four pairs (told you I went crazy last year). These have the best fit of any jean especially if your a little curvy! They are SO comfortable & such AMAZING quality. All of my Good American jeans from last year still look like I just bought them! If you are looking for jeans, I HIGHLY recommend these.
THAT IS IT! So that’s everything I bought today. Like I said, I’m not going crazy this year. For one, I’m on a budget. But, I want to focus on saving & paying off debt. HOWEVER, there are some items that I still have my eye on & considering purchasing..
Maybe’s:
- Tory Burch Everly Leather Flap Saddle Bag I buy a new Tory Burch purse every year during the Anniversary Sale & I really love this saddle bag! But I haven’t really used my other Tory Burch totes since I bought my Louis. I use one for work sometimes, but now that I bought the Erin Condren Planner Tote Bag I mainly use that for work. & I use my black Tory Burch mini bag when I go out. I just LOVE this bag & now its kind of like a tradition to get a new Tory during the sale.. & I don’t have a white or cream bag, so I’m just still on the fence..
- Tory Burch Everly T-Strap Flat Sandal I LOVE THESE. They’re a good price point & I was thinking of getting the Sea Shell Pink to mix up my wardrobe a little plus I have a matching bag from last year. I’m just on the fence because I ALWAYS wear heels. & if I am wearing sandals or flat shoes then its either my Tory Burch Miller Sandals or UGG Moccasins (depending on the weather). & I feel like if I buy them then I’ll rarely wear them.. & I’m TRYING to be good with buying things I’ll actually wear and not just buy items to wear once or that I just liked because they were on sale during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.. LOL.
- North Face Vest THIS IS SUCH A GREAT DEAL! This vest is like $50 dollars off & North Face almost NEVER goes on sale. This one is more than likely happening, especially since I can just throw it over a top in the fall.
- UGG Scuffette Slipper These are also probably happening.. like after I post this.. I’m trying to type reasons not to buy them for this part of the post, but I cant find any.. THEY’RE ONLY $54.90! & they’ll go back up to be $84.95 after the sale & that’s almost half off? (I think? LOL)
BUT that is everything that I have bought & still considering buying. I will share photos on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app when they come in & keep y’all updated on the sale! I’ll also have another blog post for Public Access next Friday.
I hope this helped y’all & I hope y’all are finding everything you need during the sale!
