For the last 6 years, I have patiently awaited the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale so that I can snag great pieces for my wardrobe at a great price. The sale works in reverse to any usual discount method in that the prices during the sale are discounted, but the price goes up when the sale ends. So pay less while you can because these pieces don’t go on sale again! And what’s worse, they have tiered entry into the sale, so more often than not, pieces sell out before you can get them. However, having a Nordstrom debit or credit card gets you into the sale at least 3-5 days(and they have good terms for their card, too).
This year, I have put together my Wish List that I’m sharing with all of you. Before the sale starts, I’m looking through my wardrobe to narrow that Wish List down to the items I am hoping to simply ‘add to cart’ and run. While there are thousands of sale items to go through, I head straight to brands that I know, love, and have already tested in my own wardrobe.
Here’s this year’s round-up:
Dresses & Skirts
I am so excited to (hopefully) snag this dress! It is so simple and chic that I will be able to wear it out or to work. I love a dress that means I look put together but really put in fairly minimal effort to do so.
I am obsessed with a midi skirt. They are the perfect length for me and harken back to the 1950’s style that I love.
I am a little on the fence with this midi skirt but only because it is navy and I don’t have as much of this in my wardrobe. On the flip side, that may be the very reason I end up buying it!
Jackets
Avec Les Filles is a brand I found years ago in this very sale, and their coats always make it into the Anniversary Sale year after year. I tend to grab at least one every other year in a different shape, color, or print than I have already. They stand the test of time and I continue to get compliments every time I wear one no matter how long I have had it.
I am likely to pick the gray plaid over this one between the two coats on my wish list this year solely due to the fact that I worry my toddler may not allow this one to survive without stains. This is a gorgeous coat though!
I have this BP sweatshirt in two colors already (including the gray one that is part of the sale!) and am planning on snagging two more this time around. They are the most comfortable and perfectly oversized zip-up hoodies I have found.
Tops & Sweaters
I love a simple, basic tee. The Nordstrom brand t-shirts have become a staple in my wardrobe and I’m excited to try this new shape.
Free People. What more can I say? I love their sweaters for the quality and the oversized fit. I wear them on repeat during the fall and winter and this one will definitely be coming home with me.
See the t-shirt comments above. These long sleeve tops from Nordstrom brand are easy and comfortable. The perfect staple at a fantastic price (on sale or not). They have a range of color options including the stripes (above) and the black (below) that I’m adding to my cart.
Pants
I found Wit and Wisdom denim a few years ago when I was post-partum and struggling to find jeans that 1. fit and 2. sucked my tummy in that little bit I needed. These were the answer and I continue to love them. I have both the black pair above and the denim pair below. They are in constant rotation in my closet during the cooler months. They also run true to size!
These gray plaid cigarette pants will be perfect for all of the work trips I have throughout the fall and winter. I am looking forward to pairing it with a knit sweater and looking chic while still being comfortable.
You’ll never regret purchasing a good black cigarette pant. It looks chic and stylish always.
Accessories
Simple jewelry pieces that I can wear either as a standalone piece or layered are always a ‘yes’. This easy solitaire necklace is perfect to incorporate into your jewelry collection.
I have an evil eye bracelet currently that I love, so when I saw this necklace that could match I immediately saved it to my wish list.
I have been looking out for a tennis bracelet to pair with a watch for everyday and this fits the bill! The price tag is fantastic for the look, too.
Happy Shopping!
