The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is HERE! Every year, the pieces that I buy during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale are the pieces I end up wearing all fall and winter long. I end up wearing these pieces to death, because not only are they discounted prices (which means you save money!), but they’re high quality items from brands you trust. I was really, really happy with my purchases this year! I do feel like I left the store with less items than usual, but the items I did buy, I really love. I ended up going home and ordering a few items that my store didn’t have (so look out for another blog post whenever I receive them!). If you have any question at all about any of the items I bought, please let me know in the comments! I will be responding to comments and questions there. 

My sizing and height for reference:

I often get asked my height and normal size to help you decide what size to order. I normally wear a size XS/S and a 25 in denim. If I say something is “TTS,” that means “true-to-size” and means that I just got my usual size. As for height, I am 5’3 and a half (that extra half inch matters! 😉 )

Without further ado… here are my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks!

Open Edit Oversize Blazer in “Blue Lake”

• Sizing: TTS, I’m wearing size XS (it does have an oversized fit, as the name suggests!)
• Quality: This is a great blazer for less than $50! It comes in three different colors, but I really loved how pretty the blue was when I saw it in person. It looks like it has been custom-tailored because it fits so well and is so flattering. You could wear this so many different ways in a corporate setting, but it will also easily take you to brunch or happy hour with the girls.
• Price: Originally $79.00, marked down to $49.99

Good American Washed Satin Camisole in “Ivory”

• Sizing: TTS, I’m wearing size XS.
• Quality: I found myself reaching for this satin camisole over and over again while trying on Nordstrom Sale looks! It looks great under pretty much any cardigan or blazer, and has a very nice feel and weight to it – you can tell that it is a quality product. It’s also partially lined, so you will never see the outline of your bra!
• Price: Originally $115.00, marked down to $74.99

Open Edit Plaid Mini Skirt

• Sizing: TTS, I’m wearing size XS.
• Quality: This mini skirt is so, so cute! It’s hard to tell from the photo, but the plaid pattern has a pretty blue color that matches the blazer perfectly. You could also wear it with a black blazer or a cardigan! This skirt would easily take you from work to happy hour.
• Price: Originally $49.00, marked down to $29.99

Open Edit Kristina Pointed Toe Mule in “Ivory”

• Sizing: TTS, I’m wearing size 7.
• Quality: These flats are super comfortable and super chic! I love how minimalistic they look with the pointed toe and chain-link hardware. They’re easy to walk in, too! They come in four different colors and look great with denim, skirts and even dresses.
• Price: Originally $74.95, marked down to $49.99

Billabong Flirty Mood Floral Puff Sleeve Cotton Dress

• Sizing: TTS, I’m wearing size XS.
• Quality: Literally the perfect dress to take you from summer to fall! Wear with sandals in the summer, the transition to booties or tall boots in the fall. This dress has the prettiest little flowers printed all over and puffy sleeves for a flattering shape.
• Price: Originally $65.95, marked down to $44.99

Steve Madden Braylen Pointed Toe Bootie in “Sand Suede”

• Sizing: TTS, I’m wearing size 7.
• Quality: These Steve Madden booties are hands-down my favorites shoes from the sale this year! They managed to go with every single outfit, and the color is absolutely GORGEOUS in person – a very light camel color. I had to force myself to try on different shoes with the outfits, because I was too tempted to just wear these over and over again! They are very comfortable and I honestly can’t believe they’re less than $100!
• Price: Originally $129.95, marked down to $89.99

Treasure & Bond Tie Waist Sleeveless Rib Sweater Dress in “Beige Oatmeal Light Heather”

• Sizing: I’m wearing size XS. If in between sizes, size down. I felt like I needed an XXS!
• Quality: This dress is absolutely gorgeous and so, so comfortable! The tie waist creates an hourglass illusion and the ribbed material is super soft. I also love the small slit in the side that allows you to see some leg! This one would be great for pregnancy because the sweater material is very stretchy and you could tie it above your bump!
• Price: Originally $79.00, marked down to $49.99

Reiss Maddison Long Sleeve Rib Sweater Dress

• Sizing: TTS, I’m wearing size XS.
• Quality: This is one of my favorite dresses from the sale! It is definitely a “splurge,” but you can tell in person that this is a DESIGNER dress. It is absolutely stunning. It has nice buttons along the bust, as well as the slit in the side. In fact, you can unbutton more buttons if you wish for the slit to be higher! The length is great (even for short girls like me!). The material is ribbed, super soft and is not too tight – a major pet peeve of mine.
• Price: Originally $320.00, marked down to $219.99

Steve Madden Long Sleeve Sweater Dress in “Camel”

• Sizing: TTS, I’m wearing size XS.
• Quality: This sweater dress just screams “fall” to me! It makes me want a pumpkin spice latte 😉 It has really nice tortoise buttons down the front and is made from a very cozy sweater material. I love the cable knit detailing at the top. It would also look great with some tall boots!
• Price: Originally $99.00, marked down to $58.99

• Sizing: I’m wearing size small. Get your normal size if you plan to wear it as a top. Size up one size if you want to wear it as a dress!
• Quality: The Free People sweaters are always the first to sell out in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! This one comes in five different colors and is marked down to less than $100. In true Free People fashion, this sweater is super high-quality. I love the chunky knit detailing! It is oversized, so I sized up to a small in order to wear it as a dress. The pink color is so girly and feminine, it just makes me happy!
• Price: Originally $148.00, marked down to $96.99

Steve Madden Square Neck Wide Leg Jumpsuit in “Black”

• Sizing: TTS, I’m wearing size XS.
