What I Bought From The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale:
NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE TOPS + JACKETS

1 // Barbour Pilton Quilted Jacket, 2 // Doncaster Quilted Jacket, 3 // Waxed Rain Jacket, 9 // Riselaw Rain Coat -- These were a BIG seller for me last year and I wanted to review these new styles and compare them to the Barbour jackets I have! Any time Barbour goes on sale, I'm your girl lol.
4 // Topshop Square Necked Bodysuit -- I've recently fallen in love with bodysuits and want to see how this compares to the Walmart and Free People one I have!
5 // Ralph Lauren Military Wool Coat, 10 // Kenneth Cole Notch Collar Sherling Coat -- The NSale is always a great time to find a new coat for fall and winter. The RL one was a little expensive but I own three RL coats that have lasted me years so I want to see if this will be worth it. And the shearling coat I'm excited but nervous for. Usually, these make me look HUGE.
6 // Halogen Houndstooth Knit Jacket -- I realllllyyyy like how this looks. I'm hoping it's as great in person.
7 // Chelsea 28 Off the Shoulder Sweater, 8 // Leith Ribbed Off the Shoulder Sweater, 11 // Theory Short Sleeved Cashmere Sweater -- I also love stocking up on sweaters during the sale!! I don’t really need anymore but I loved the look of both the off the shoulder sweaters (I'll let you know which one is better) and of COURSE, I had to get the cashmere t-shirt. My favorite thing of the sale.
12 // 1. State Lace Insert Camisole -- I have this tank version so I wanted to compare the new style for you guys!
NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY BOTTOMS
1 // Whit and Wisdom Ab-Solution Distressed High Waist Ankle Jeans, 3 // AG Farrah High Waist Ankle Skinny Jeans, 8 // Levi's 721™ High Waist Skinny Jeans -- Tried to really focus on testing out more affordable jeans for you guys from the sale! Somehow my favorite AG denim just *slipped* in there lol.
2 // Gibbson Jogger Pants, 6 // Alo Airlift High Waist Leggings, 7 // BP Fleece Shorts, 9 // BP Tie Die Joggers -- These are for the lazy days at home during the pandemic!! Hopefully great for fall and winter when you want to cozy up.
4 // BP Faux Leather Leggings, 5 // Nordstrom Faux Leather Leggings -- I have the Spanx and Commando versions of these leggings so I wanted to round them *all* up to do a review guide for you, letting you know which ones to buy and which ones to avoid.
NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY ACCESSORIES
1 // Sam Edelman Davis Knee High Boot -- I have a pair of Sam Edelman high boots that I LIVE IN in the fall and wanted to see if these are a better version of them since mine are over three years old!
2 // Brixton Straw Hat -- I have this hat in three colors and it is THE BEST HAT and super affordable so you know I snatched up this color right away.
3 // Makeup Eraser Cloth Set -- I'm really intrigued by this honestly. I love my makeup eraser so I'm interested to see what this is all about lol.
4 // Hanky Panky Thong -- I've heard SO MANY good things about Hanky Panky but I've never tried them. I have all my underwear from Target (which are dupes for this brand) but they sadly don't make them like they used to! So I'm going to see what these are all about.
5 // Almond Shower Oil Duo Set, 9 // Drybar Dry Shampoo, 7 // Supergoop! Defense Refresh Setting Mist -- These are things I already own and LOVE but backups and extras. Can't say no to a good deal.
6 // Marc Fisher Oshay Pointed Toe Bootie, 12 // Steve Madden Kaylah Pointed Toe Bootie -- Going to compare these two!
8 // Le Pliage Expandable Tote -- I want to throw this in a giveaay for you guys! I LIVED in my Le Pliage tote in college it just holds everything. Like a Mary Poppins bag!
10 // Zella Studio Lite Longline Bra, 11 // Zella Longline Bra -- I live in Zella sports bras so I'm excited to try these two out. Especially since I'm a BIG fan of shopping for longer bras to wear with high waisted leggings.
13 // Tula Skin Care Set -- Ok guys.... if you get ONE thing from the sale, let it be this. This is *literally* a set of all my favorite things. I bought this for a giveaway to you guys but omg omg omg. YES
10 // Zella Studio Lite Longline Bra, 11 // Zella Longline Bra -- I live in Zella sports bras so I'm excited to try these two out. Especially since I'm a BIG fan of shopping for longer bras to wear with high waisted leggings.
13 // Tula Skin Care Set -- Ok guys.... if you get ONE thing from the sale, let it be this. This is *literally* a set of all my favorite things. I bought this for a giveaway to you guys but omg omg omg. YES
14 // Alexander McQueen Cat Eye Sunglasses -- I meannnnnnn why not? Right. This was my totally irrational purchase for no good reason.

Thank you so much for acknowledging how different this year is from other years and that peoples shopping habits are different. I’m super excited to finally try the Theory Short Sleeve Cashmere sweater. I didn’t last year and I kind of regret it because it seems like such a versatile piece. What color do you suggest getting as a first piece?
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to shop on Monday! Your pics look awesome! I have my eyes set on some Mother jeans, one of my favorite brands! I am also really excited to try this free people sweaterhttp://shop.nordstrom.com/s/5387047
ReplyDeleteLove how honest you are with your picks! alyssayalvarez@gmail.com
I've been trying to start getting "investment" pieces instead of buying the $10-20 things I have to replace every season, so I think this is the year I get a cashmere sweater! Loving the Halogen crew neck sweater in a pretty neutral or the short sleeve theory one you post about!! You definitely have my favorite round-up/approach to the sale of anyone I've seen so far. (And if you wanted to pick me for one of the 10, I think it would make my whole quarantine!! My insta is _amandapack)
ReplyDeleteLove your picks. Excited to see your reviews and comparisons, especially for the booties!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen anyone else talk about these, but I really want these Nike sneakers! https://www.nordstrom.com/s/nike-internationalist-se-sneaker-women/5466021?

Love your picks! Can’t wait to see your reviews on the Barbour coats! Definitely looking at that wax coat but terrible at guessing my size haha hoping it’s as cute in person as it is online
ReplyDeleteYou are right...this year is so different. But I always appreciate your non-biased reviews so I can feel assured that if I am going to purchase something it will be well worth it. Looking forward to your post on Monday. The Theory t-shirt seems like a must have staple but so do the Naturalizer boots... hard choices to make.

Love your approach to the sale this year. I really appreciate you sharing things that *don’t* work as much as things that do! I have been contemplating a Longchamp for years and am finally ready to pull the plug. Love that the Le Pliage expands for travel!

In past years I remember girls posting 100 things and everything was amazing and must haves and you ordered the same things and said your honest opinion that the quality or fit wasn’t good on some of the items. Needless to say I don’t follow those girls anymore but trust your opinions 100%! I just bought prose with your code and can’t wait to see the results, even a fraction of your results I’ll be satisfied lol
ReplyDeleteMy wishlist is allllll the cozy things!

Hey Krista! Thanks for your round up, I check it every year! My beloved Ray-Bans broke earlier this year and I need to replace them but have been cheating out due to Covid. This would probably be my top pick from the sale. And my IG handle is @laurparlow!

DeleteLOVE your picks, especially the houndstooth jacket! My pinterest board has been filled with classic looks lately, so my favorite item has got to be the classic black blazer. I'm loving the small details like the striped lining inside the sleeves!

The giveaway is such a fun and generous idea! I'm in search of the perfect leather leggings, and the Commando ones seem promising: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/commando-faux-leather-ankle-leggings/5265042?origin=category-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FAnniversary%20Sale%2FWomen&color=black
ReplyDeleteI would also happily take whatever pair of the leather leggings is your personal favorite, if you prefer one of the other brands.
Also, if you're a Theory fan - they are doing an awesome sale right now on their own website. When I looked the cashmere tee was mostly sold out but it was ~$75 if your size is available and there are some great deals across categories.

Hi Krista,
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see your try on! I think it's great that you're approaching this sale with a focus on comparing similar items and looking for affordable options in addition to some of the pricier items, it's super helpful for the average shopper when you do stuff like this! I've thought about picking one of the barefoot dreams circle cardigans up in the past couple anniversary sales but never did because it didn't really seem worth the price for something that I'd probably just wear around the house, but this is definitely the year that it makes sense to upgrade my loungewear. I know that these tend to go fast so I'd love if you could snag one for me before I have access. Thanks so much and keep up the good work!

Do you think they are going to restock? I got to shop last Friday and still so much was sold out already.
