Nordstrom Anniversary Sale - July 11, 2019

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 Round Up

I’m so excited I could literally burst! I’ve been working so hard over the past few days to create a super easy-to-shop guide for y’all that will SIMPLIFY this massive sale for y’all. There are thousands of items and it can sometimes be difficult to figure out what’s worth it – talk about analysis paralysis!

In today’s post I’m focusing only on WOMEN’S FASHION.  See the END OF THE POST for a SCHEDULE OF BLOG POSTS covering additional categories. I can’t WAIT to share menswear picks because the boy and I have already purchased some AWESOME finds! I love shopping for him :)

Like I mentioned on stories, I spent the least amount (by far) than I’ve ever spent because I really wanted to curate my selection and focus on wearability rather than quantity. I’ll be posting THREE IGTV’s over the course of the next 3-4 days covering key items by theme.  The first video will go live TODAY covering my favorite 7 sweaters from the sale: how to style them and why I chose to purchase each.

Just as a quick reminder, the sale is only open right now to Nordstrom Card Holders with Icon and Ambassador status. If you don’t have either of those statuses with your Nordstrom Card, you can start shopping tomorrow! And it will open to the public on Friday, July 19. Read more about becoming a Nordstrom Card holder on their website here.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Picks Fall Outfit BP Cardigan

Item: BP Longline Open Cardigan [Beige Oatmeal Heather]
Price: $31.90, marked down from $49
Sizing/Fit: Wearing size XS
ThoughtsFor $31, this is a great cardigan! I like the length (not too long) and the long lines – it makes for a really clean look. The sleeves aren’t too tight (which I appreciate), so you can wear it over thinner sweaters and it’s easy to layer. The oatmeal color is a MUST as well as the black if you don’t already have a black one. If you are shopping on a budget and can only get 1 cardigan, I would recommend this one.

Item: Treasure & Bond Ribbed Long Sleeve V-Neck Tee [White]
Price: $31.90, marked down from $49
Sizing/Fit: wearing size XS, 
ThoughtsJust a great fitted long-sleeve tee. I wore my everyday nude bra under and didn’t find it to be see-through. I also  like the roll-hem detail on it for when/if I want to wear it untucked over my jeans.

Item: Madewell 10” High Waist Skinny Jeans: Button Front Edition [Cassia]
Price: $89.90, marked down from $135
Sizing/Fit: 24, I always size down in madewell denim
ThoughtsIt’s not everyday I find a pair of cropped denim that ACTUALLY fits me right.  These jeans are PERFECT to wear with booties and I love that I don’t have to cuff them or roll them under. For reference, I’m 5’4″ tall.

Item: Vince Camuto ‘Gigietta’ Bootie [Nubuck]
Price: $99.90, marked down from $149.95
Sizing/Fit: wearing size 7, leather is stiff but will probably stretch, fit true to size
ThoughtsIf you don’t already have a tan-colored booties to wear with oversized sweaters this fall, THIS IS YOUR BOOTIE. The color is amazing and the pointed  toe makes your legs  look nice and long. I LOVE them paired with high-waisted cropped denim – one of my TOP picks from the sale!

Item: Clare V. Midi Sac [Tan Snake]
Price: $199.90, marked down from $299
ThoughtsTo be honest, the price isn’t great on this bag but I REALLY wanted a snakeskin bag and I found that it completed so many of my looks. Do you think I should keep it? I’m still on the fence about this one! I love the shape and the pop of red too!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Picks Fall Outfit leopard scarf blac jeans

Item: BP Lightweight Pullover [Black & Beige Oatmeal]
Price: $25.90, marked down from $39
Sizing/Fit: Wearing size XS
ThoughtsFor $25, this is a great casual sweater for Fall. It’s a thinner material so it’s easy layer under a jacket or cardigan. The sleeve have a little bit of a balloon detail but I think it adds a nice touch. I got it in black and the oatmeal color!

Item: Sole Society Blanket Scarf [Leopard]

Item: Paige Hoxton Ankle Jeans Deconstructed [Blackbird]
Price: $139.90, marked down from $209
Sizing/Fit: wearing size 25, fit is true to size
Thoughts: I haven’t bought a pair of Paige jeans in years, but I picked these up because  I noticed they were a little cropped (and I’m short) and I’ve ended up LOVING them. The knee slits are subtle but still add a little character and a relaxed vibe. The rise is high but not too high (I have other jeans for when I want a super high rise). I do have to roll them under like an inch  or so but they’re still skinny enough around my ankle to wear with high shaft booties and sneakers (shoes I want more of my ankle to show with because it looks more flattering).

Item: Dolce Vita Shep Perforated Bootie [Nubuck]
Price: $89.90, marked down from $139.95
Sizing/Fit: wearing size 6 (normally wear size 6.5 in most shoes and 7 in sneakers), run BIG
Thoughts:  I didn’t realize how much I would love this bootie! I don’t typically gravitate towards flat booties because I feel like they don’t look the best on me but after styling this one several times, I LOVE IT. I appreciate the  warm tone of the suede because it was the perfect neutral for when I wanted to tie a look together that had either black or brown in it. As you’ll see with all my outfits, I was able to style it several different ways.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Picks Fall Outfit chelsea28 cardigan black jeans nude suede booties

Item: Chelsea 28 V-Neck Pullover [Black & Burgundy & Brown Shiitake Heather]
Price: $45.90, marked down from $69
Sizing/Fit: Wearing size XS, fits true to size, longer with little slits
Thoughts: Love the larger fit of this sweater, if you want a more form-fitting feel then I would size down. Easy to layer with scarves or jackets, too! Comes in other colors which are shown later!

Item: Paige Hoxton Ankle Jeans Deconstructed [Blackbird]
Price: $139.90, marked down from $209

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Picks Fall Outfit bb dakota moto jacket vince mules

Item: Blank NYC Jacket [Charcoal]
Price: $64.90, marked down from $98
Sizing/Fit: Wearing size XS, fits true to size
ThoughtsThis jacket is super comfy and I love the asymmetrical cut! It looks great styled with booties and a tee I also love it with leggings and sneakers for an elevated athleisure look!

Item: BP Lightweight Pullover [Black & Beige Oatmeal]
Price: $25.90, marked down from $39
Sizing/Fit: Wearing size XS
ThoughtsFor $25, this is a great casual sweater for Fall. It’s a thinner material so it’s easy layer under a jacket or cardigan. The sleeve have a little bit of a balloon detail but I think it adds a nice touch. I got it in black and the oatmeal color!

Item: Mother High-Waisted Black Jeans [Black]

Belt: Hermes, not included in sale

ItemVince Heath Cross Strap Sandal [Snakeskin]
Price: $214.90, marked down from $325
Sizing/Fit: 6.5, these run a little big so size down a half size
Thoughts: I love these mules because of the warm tones that will go with more fall themed outfits. They’re easy to transition from summer to fall too since they are a sandal. They also come in 4 other colors – they look so good on your foot and instantly elegant an outfit!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Picks outfit

Item: Topshop Long Cardigan [Grey Marl]
Price: $44.90, marked down from $68
Sizing/Fit: Wearings size S
ThoughtsThis was one of the first items I grabbed! I saw it and instantly thought, OH COZY YES. It’s such an easy throw on and  will serve as a great (and cozy!) outfit completer for me this Fall. The material is pretty thick and there are slits on either side. I love the pocket detailing on the front panels though!

Item: Chelsea 28 V-Neck Pullover [Black & Burgundy & Brown Shiitake Heather]
Price: $45.90, marked down from $69
Sizing/FitThoughts: See Above

Item: Commando Faux Leather Leggings
Price: $65.50, marked down from $98
Sizing/Fit: wearing size S
Thoughts: See Above

Item: Vince Ward Slip On Sneaker [Black]
Price: $149.90, marked down from $225
Sizing/Fit: wearing size 36.5, they feel a little looser than usual but I think that’s because of the elastic material on this updated style
Thoughts: SO GREAT. If you cans wing the splurge, I HIGHLY recommend these. I know a lot of other brands make knockoffs of the Vince sneakers, but trust me when I tell you THEY JUST AREN’T AS CUTE – or as comfortable! These will be my second pair of these Vince sneakers. I got a very similar pair (except they were all suede) 3 years ago and I have them to pieces. It’s time for an upgrade and these are so fun!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Picks outfit something Navy leopard sweater

Item: Something Navy Crewneck Pullover [Leopard]
Price: $49.90, marked down from $79
Sizing/Fit: XXS, runs big
ThoughtsLove the print of this sweater and overall fit! It’s also long enough to wear with leggings! It’s stretchy and the material is a little thicker so it’s extra cozy – cute for a casual look or lounging too! It’s sort of like an oversized sweatshirt in sweater material!

Item: Mother High-Waisted Black Jeans [Black]

ItemHalogen Ivie Sneaker [Black Leather]
Price: $99.95, marked down from $64.90
Sizing/FitWearing size 6.5 which is what I usually wear in sneakers like this so I’d say they’re true to size
ThoughtsThese caught my eye in store  when I was shopping from across the room. Something about the contrast  of the black leather and the bright white laces complimented by the white platform is just SO sticking and adorable to me. Plus, I love the little snakeskin detailing on the shoe tongue. I was able to style these 3+ ways with just my Nsale picks, so I imagine they’ll be a great weekend Fall staple and cute alternative to my everyday Vince sneakers I always wear (also featured – I got the updated style for this season!)

Nordstrom Anniversale Sale Early Access picks 2019

Item: Halogen Cashmere Ruana [Beige Oatmeal Dark Heather]
Price: $112.90, marked down from $169
Sizing/Fit: one size fits most
ThoughtsHELLO CASHMERE DREAM. I love this piece so much! The color is great (not too grey which makes it easier to pair with warmer tones). And  it’s 100% cashmere, which means  it’s SUPER warm (trust me, I felt it).

Item: Topshop Ribbed V-Neck Sweater/Tee [Cream]
Sizing/Fit: wearing size US2, fitted
Thoughts: Great for layering and I like that it’s cream as opposed to white!

Item: Sam Edelman ‘Hiltin’ Knee High Boot [Praline]
Price: $149.90, marked down from $224.95
Sizing/Fit: Wearing size 7 (but I usually wear size 6.5 in Sam Edelman. I wanted to leave room for thick socks in winter!), hit below your knee
ThoughtsThese were the only tall boots that truly caught my eye at the sale when shopping in store.  I first saw hem in the catalogue but wasn’t sure about the color. After styling them with multiple outfits, I’m in love! I think the color is actually GREAT and (as I’m sure you’ll see) matches so many other neutrals! I think  they *make* an outfit. I appreciate that they’re not over the knee because sometimes those just overtake my short frame and I think knee high (as opposed to OTK) are easier to wear with more things.

Item: BP Lace Trim Satin Cami [Cream]
Price: $25.90, marked down from $39
Sizing/Fit: Wearing size Medium but I wanted a small
Thoughts: GET THIS ASAP. I think it will sell out fast because it’s SUCH a great staple! I got it in cream and black but I sort of think I *might*  want the cheetah color way.

Item: Blank NYC Jacket [Charcoal]

Price: $29.90, marked down from $45
Sizing/Fit: wearing size XS, fits TTS, shorter length
ThoughtsGreat for wearing under jackets  and a base piece, love the color and the square neckline.

Item: Chelsea28 Button Front Cardigan [Oatmeal Light Heather]
Price: $39.90, marked down from $79
Sizing/Fit: Wearing size XS
ThoughtsThe buttons are what won me over with this cardigan + the ribbed detailing on the sides  also add a bit of texture to the sweater. I love the feel of the material – it’s a thinner material than most other cardigans. Plus the COLOR is easy to pair! I love it paired with the  Treasure & Bond long sleeved tee I got and the tall Sam Edelman boots – such a cute look! And I thin it’s the brown buttons that tie it all together!

Item: Topshop Kota Crop Faux Leather Moto Jacket [Black]
Price: $62.90, marked down from $95
Sizing/Fit: wearing size US2, no stretch in leather, fits a little snug (I’d recommend sizing up)
ThoughtsI’VE BEEN LOOKING for a CROPPED moto jacket for so long! Because when I want to wear a moto jacket with midi skirts and dresses, my regular-length motto jacket makes me look a little boxy. I like the cropped one because you can still see my waist! I don’t *love* the  attached belt, but for $62, this is a great solution to my Moto-jacket-length issues.

Item: Rebecca Minkoff Stella Suede Satchel [Black]
Price: $238.90, marked down from $358

Item: Marc Fisher LTD Zurri Pointy Toe Loafer [Snakeskin]
Price: $99.90, marked down from $149.90
Sizing/Fit: these were tricky with sizing! I think because the leather is so stiff it can be hard to tell. Either they’re a little big and don’t grip your heel so you slide out when you walk or they feel pretty snug (which is what I went with). I got size 6 and usually wear size 6.5 in Marc Fisher.
Thoughts: Aren’t these fun? Okay so I have a few things you need to know about these. First of all, I love the print and think you definitely need a pair of snakeskin shoes this Fall because the texture and print act as the perfect “outfit completer”. Like if you’re wearing an outfits with a bunch of solids (all black, black jeans with white tee, etc.) But I will note that the color palette of this snakeskin in particular doesn’t work as well with warmer-toned colors, so stick to styling them with cooler colors like grey, black, white, blue or even red!

Item: BB Dakota Brush It Off Jacket [Charcoal]
Price: $64.90, marked down from $98
Sizing/Fit: Wearing size XS, fits true to size
ThoughtsThis jacket is super comfy and I love the asymmetrical cut! It looks great styled with booties and a tee I also love it with leggings and sneakers for an elevated athleisure look!

Item: Leith Scoop Neck Ribbed Tee
Price: $24.90, marked down from $45
Sizing/Fit: XS, fitted and a little shorter
ThoughtsI like this option a lot for wearing tucked into midi skirts, high-waisted jeans, or my suede mini skirt I got last year (they have a similar one here). I also like that the sleeves are a little longer and that there’s a  BIG scoop neck -it’s super flattering!

Item: AG Ex Boyfriend Deconstructed Jeans [11 Years Indigo Strike]
Price: $149.90, marked down from $225
Sizing/Fit: 25, fits TTS
ThoughtsLove the relaxed fit of these jeans. They’re just the right amount of “relaxed” if you know what I mean. I can’t wear usual boyfriend jeans because I’m pretty shorts and they make me look stocky, but these are still fitted enough to where  they’re flattered but have the relaxed vibe.

Item: Adidas Swift Run Sneaker [Grey/White]
Price: $99.90, marked down from $149.90
Sizing/Fit: 5.5, runs large, size down 1.5 sizes
ThoughtsThese are so fun to throw on for running errands or just when I want something cute and comfy to wear hanging out – I love the sporty look. I have them in a cream color too, which you can see in this blog post I did about keeping your health in check during the holidays. I’ll probably be styling them more ways  once I put together my Nsale Athleisure picks!

ThoughtsI’m on the fence on whether or not I *need* these because  I already have my leopard loafers BUT I just think they’re so adorable! Plus, I think they offer a completely different “look” than the loafers do, don’t you think? I like the scale and color palette of the leopard too!

nordstrom anniversary sale outfit cowl neck sweater with tall boots

Item: Chelsea 28 Cowl Neck Sweater [Beige Oatmeal Light Heather]
Price: $49.90, marked down from $79
Sizing/Fit: Wearing size XS, fits slouchy
Thoughts: Love the comfy fit of this sweater! The oversized cowl neck and slouchy sleeves make for the perfect oversized fall look. It would look super cute with flats and riding boots too! It’s not long enough to wear with leggings and I wouldn’t recommend sizing up for length because of the slouchy cut (it will just get  too baggy). But I think this color is great – it would also look awesome with black leather, brown leather, cognac suede, or leopard shoes (all the options!)

Sizing/Fit: XXS, runs big
ThoughtsLove the feel and thickness of this sweater. But most of all, I really appreciate the length and slimmer cut of it. This sweater looks super cute with leggings or can even be front-tucked with high-rise denim. It looks cute styled with fall prints like leopard and snakeskin as well as with other neutrals like creams, darker browns, and black.

Sizing/Fit: wearing size XS, fitted and tunic-length
ThoughtsThis tee is really great to use as a layering piece. I like that it’s tunic-length. My only complain is that it fits super tight – I wish there was a little more give. But it’s great for wearing tucked in or under sweaters to add a layered look – or if you want to add a pop of pattern under a sweater. I got the white but I’m going to return it because it’s too thin and a little see through.
