MAJOR Nordstrom Markdowns!!!

Nordstrom just dropped prices on SOOOO many items.  A lot of it Nordstrom Anniversary Sale items that are now at even lower prices.  I've gone through a bunch and bucketed the deals below by category.  I'm going to keep updating because there are SO many sales I just can't keep up.

DRESSES

Super cute and versatile ASTR dress. You can wear it as a dress or when the weather gets cold pair with leggings and a cardigan. Reminds me of all of our favorite Lush Hailey dress but even better with the contrast color pockets and trim. Runs a little big so consider sizing down. If you aren't sure which color, I'd recommend the black/blue combo. Love this one!!! Get it here.

I LOVE this 1901 dress.   I LOVE this 1901 dress. It's SO cute. Perfect for work or when you are casual but need to be a little more dressed up. Love the underneath shirt look without having a bulky one underneath. Great transition piece for fall. True to size. The price is LESS than the Anniversary Sale so now is your time to pick it up. Get this look - dress and shoes.  

All my shorties...this maxi dress is PERFECT for you because it comes in short AND it's now 40% off. It was about this time last year that I picked up this dress (on sale). True to size and the perfect summer maxi. You can even wear it with the transitioning weather...just throw on a denim jacket or cardigan. Get it here.

This 1901 dress is the perfect fall transition dress and it's $41. True to size. I'm wearing petite XS. Also comes in red. Get it here. 

Another great transition dress...this one from Eliza J.  Love the colors in this one.  I always size up with her styles as I find they run a little small.  Check it out here.  

I LOVE a drop waist dress and this Halogen one is SOOO cute! Comes in a bunch of patterns and solid colors.  True to size.  It's the perfect transition dress to fall and then when you can go bare legged anymore, throw on some tights and a cardigan.  It's now 50% off!  

This super cute gingham dress from Madewell is now reduced 40%, making it under $60!  I love gingham and this is the perfect dress for it because of the ruffle hemline and sleeves.  Great for work or play.  True to size.  Get this look - dress and shoes.

This very popular, flattering and versatile Socialite dress is now 40% off.  When I first tried it on I wasn't sold on it but the more I wore it the more I loved it.  SUPER comfortable and you can dress it up or down.  True to size.  Only available in gray now.  


TOPS

This Free People top sold out almost instantly during the sale and I don't think it will last long again. It's sooo pretty but it runs really big. Consider sizing down. A bunch of sizes and colors are still available as of me posting it. I personally love the red/pink one. Get this look - top, jeans and booties.

Both of these Caslon sweaters (turtleneck and crewneck) sold out super quick at the Anniversary Sale but they are back and at even better pricing. I ended up keeping both and LOVE them. Lots of colors to pick from. I'm wearing my usual XS in both. Some say it runs a little big but my size was good for me. Get them both - turtleneck and crewneck.

This white check/plaid Leith top is now 50% off. Super cute for work or play. Very comfortable. You do need a tank underneath because it is a bit sheer. Get it here.

This Halogen ruffle sweater (with detachable sleeves) is now 55% off! I actually ended up returning this because I couldn't figure out the sleeves and to me it wasn't worth it for the price but now that it's under $50 I might reconsider. True to size. Lots of colors available.

This Everleigh top was a recent Trunk Club keeper. Love the color and the detail (bow sleeves, hi low waistline). Of course now it goes on sale for under $30. Comes in a bunch of colors. True to size (I'm not wearing petite). Get this look - top, jeans, shoes.

This one another come home with me purchase from the Nordstrom sale and now it's on sale. Madewell is always a favorite of mine. Love how you can dress it up or down. And the button detail in the back is so cute. Fit is true to size. Get this look - top, jeans, shoes

Not the best picture but this is one of my favorite spring/summer tops and it's now on sale and under $40! I was fine with an XS but I probably could have also done an XXS. Works great with pants or shorts. I wear a white cami under it. Get it here.

My favorite Free People January tee is on sale again in white and a bunch of other colors. I love this so much I have it in white, black and thinking about ordering it in green.  Runs true to size. Check it out here.

This smocked Hinge peplum top is SO cute and SO perfect as we start the transition to fall. Great fall colors...wear it now with sandals and then move to booties and a cardigan or jacket when the weather cools. There's also two other colors available in this style but they aren't on sale.

This Gibson Convertible Cozy Fleece Wrap Cardigan is AMAZING. Great piece for fall. Comes in a bunch of colors. True to size. Wear it on its own or pair with a field jacket and a scarf when the weather gets warmer. I plan to wear it that way. Get this and the pieces I plan to wear with it - top / cami / jeans / jacket (similar) / scarf

PANTS

These Halogen leggings were my go-to last fall/winter.  They are nice and thick so you can wear them to work or dress them up.  Fit is true to size.  Highly recommend.  And for you shorties, they come in petite.

Yes you are seeing this look again because the Kut from the Kloth jeans are on sale.  I love these jeans because they make petite sizes BUT I'm not in petite in these ones because they are supposed to be a cropped length but they work great as full length on me and they are on sale.  I sized down to a 0 in these.  Get this look - top, jeans, shoes.

You can never have too much plaid in the fall and I highly recommend you add this BP one to your collection. It's now under $30 and comes in a bunch of colors. True to size. Check it out.

Big fan of these Lush henleys and there are a bunch on sale right now for under $25. Unfortunately not this color but some fun ones that transition to fall well. They tend to run big so size down (it's junior sizing so an XS works great on me).



LOUNGE/ACTIVE

This super soft Make + Model lounge set is now 50% off! It seriously is the softest thing ever. You can wear them as pajamas or for a casual athleisure look. I size up for a looser fit. Other color combos available. Get this look - top and bottoms.

This great cutout tank from Zella is now 40% off. Comes in three colors including this gray. It's versatile and can we worn for working out or an athleisure look. I wear it for both. True to size. Check it out here.

SUPER soft sweatshirt from Zella is now 50% off! It's a blend of cotton and cashmere so it's super soft. Comes in gray as well. I always size up for a larger fit. Highly recommend. Check it out.

Five Friday Favorites #28

With the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opening to the public today I felt like I HAD to focus today's Five Friday Favorites on my five favorite purchases so far.  And if you missed last week, I highlighted my five longtime favorites that are available at the sale this year.  Check that out here.


#1 - BB Dakota Faux Leather Jacket

LOVE, LOVE this BB Dakota Faux leather jacket.  The quality is AMAZING for faux leather...looks real very real.  This is the perfect color...best blend of gray and beige!  It also comes in black.  True to size.  

#2 - 1901 Varsity Dress 

1901 Varsity dress. Great shift style, soft cotton and very flattering. Dress it up or down. I'm wearing an XSP but it was kind of short so I might get the XS just to see length difference. Get this look - dress and shoes.

#3 - Vince Camuto Booties

 Vince Camuto can do know wrong when it comes to booties.  I may have gotten three pairs last year and told myself I wasn't going to get another pair until I laid my eyes on these and I had to have them.  Love the color and the fit.  They will be a staple this fall/winter for sure.  True to size and other colors available.  PS - If the Free People shirt I'm wearing would have been a little smaller (def size down if you get it) then it would have made this list too. 

#4 - Caslon Sweater

 LOVE this Caslon sweater. Has a big turtleneck which I love, nice long length and I really like the speckle fabric. Highly recommend. True to size, wearing an XS. Comes in a bunch of colors and it's under $50!  Get this look - sweater, jeans, boots. 

#5 - Vince Camuto Blouse

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Vince Camuto blouse.  Technically I didn't buy it in the store BUT immediately regretted it after I got home so I bought it yesterday.  Everything about this is perfection...gathered sleeves, ruched neck and I'm OBSESSED with the color.  Love the modern take on a Victorian look.  Will be perfect for work or a night out.  Lots of other colors to pick from.  True to size but if you are on the shorter side, you might want to consider petite (that's what I'm wearing).

ROUND ONE OF #NSALE ONLINE PURCHASES

Just in time for the Anniversary Sale to be open to EVERYONE I got my first online order reviews up.  Seperated everything by category to make it easier. 

DRESSES

I LOVE gingham and Madewell and this dress is the perfect combo! Love the ruffle hem and sleeves. It's nice and lightweight. Great for work or play. True to size. Get this look - dress and shoes. 

Love this dress from 1901. It's like a sweatshirt material...SO SOFT! Love the built in shirt detail. Another one you can dress up for work or dress down for the weekend. Definitely a keeper. True to size. Get this look - dress and shoes.

Another fan dress from 1901...1901 Varsity dress. Great shift style, soft cotton and very flattering. Dress it up or down. I'm wearing an XSP but it was kind of short so I might get the XS just to see length difference. Get this look - dress and shoes.

I was hoping this Treasure and Bond dress would work out as a fab holiday dress but it's just EH. I love the pleating detail and the hunter green color is great just overall the fit didn't do much for me. It does fit true to size. Details on this look - dress and shoes

TOPS

This BP balloon sleeve was my least favorite of the sweaters that came in the mail from this package. I accidentally ordered an XXS instead of an XS. They are going for more of a slouchy look and I think one size bigger would have worked. Love both the pinky/red and green colors. Get this full look...and double check to make sure your size is correct - sweater, jeans, and shoes. :)

You know an outfit is a keeper when Hubby says...oh you look good. That's what he said as I was sweaty my you know what off in this look. LOVE this Caslon sweater. Has a big turtleneck which I love, nice long length and I really like the speckle fabric. Highly recommend. True to size, wearing an XS. Comes in a bunch of colors and it's under $50!  Get this look - sweater, jeans, boots. 

Another Caslon sweater win. Same speckled look...this time I opted for the cream color (with black and navy specs throughout). I like the slouchy look of this one. I forgot to snap a picture of the back with the exposed zipper because well I was about to pass out from heat exhaustion taking the picture. True to size. Lots of colors available and it's under $40! Get this look - sweater, jeans, booties.  

Gibson always knocks it out of the part with their blouses and prints and this one doesn't disappoint. Love the high low hemline and flat collar v-neck detail. True to size. This is by far my favorite print. There are others available along with some solid options. Get this look - top, jeans and shoes.

I LOVE this Free People tunic...the print is so pretty and the redish pink just pops. My only issue is that it's a little too big on me so definitely size down if you order. Also comes in two other colors but this one is my favorite. Get this look - tunic, jeans (similar) and booties.

Super cute Halogen bubble sleeve sweater.  VERY versatile...you can dress it down with jeans or dress it up for work with a cute pair of dress pants.  Wear with flats or heels.  True to size.  Takes a basic sweater (like the J.Crew Tippi) and takes it up a notch with the subtle bubble sleeve.  Highly recommend.  The gray was a little sheer for me so I put my go-to Halogen tank under it.  Get this look - sweater, tank. jeans (similar), shoes. 

SHOES

I'm always looking for fun new flats and these Cole Haan ones peeked my interest. I don't like snakes but I do like a snake print. These have blush tone which I like. They are SUPER comfortable. True to size. Also come in several solid colors. What do you think, should I keep? Get the look - sweater, jeans (similar) and shoes

 

I'm looking for a different pair of black flats instead of always wearing my Tory Burch minis. I thought these Vince ones would be super cute. Funky but still work appropriate. Nope, they didn't work. As my friend said, they look like witch shoes. I was sooo bummed. Anyone else try them. What did you think. True to size. Other colors available...maybe it's the black that doesn't work.

OUTERWEAR

I've been wanting a short winter jacket. I have two long ones that I love but needed a more sporty, short one so I picked up this Patagonia one and I love it. It's thin but still says will keep you warm (I was sweating taking these pictures). The gray color will go with everything. I went with a small so that when I'm wearing big sweaters it won't be too tight. Really like it. It keeps going in and out of stock so keep checking back. Not the greatest of pics either...needed big Mini to take it and she just couldn't get the angle right.

 

MINI

Found Big Mini's Thanksgiving dress thanks to this sale. How cute is this Pippa and Julie dress. I'm very tempted to get one for little Mini too so they can match. Outfit works well with her new boots too. Get this look - dress and shoes.
