I did it! I braved the Nordstrom Anniversary sale and made it out alive with my favorites that I can’t wait to show you guys! To be honest, it’s all a little overwhelming when everyone is rushing in there to grab their favorites so it’s definitely one of those sales I prefer to shop online.
But things go so fast that sometimes the only place to find them is in store! And while I tried a TON of stuff on to show you guys everything they had, not all of it made it home with me. So I am showing you exactly what I snagged and hopefully that gives you a little bit of inspo for your shopping!

BASICS
I tend to avoid trendy most of the time but it’s especially true during big sales. I’m looking for staples. Those items of clothing and accessories that I will wear forever and a day. I often wish I had purchased more than one when I’ve worn it so much that it no longer resembles a functioning item of clothing 😂ya feel me? We’ve all been there.
This outfit was absolutely the top one I tried on and every single piece came home with me!

I also made it out of the store with the backpack version of the fanny pack above! Both are by the same company and it reminds me of a really luxe version of my Freshly Picked backpack!
I felt pretty lucky to hit up the store without kids in tow! Braun was a champ and took the kids so I could get an hour or two of blissful shopping in. And it works out – I do a little shopping for him, a little shopping for them, and then treat myself with a bunch of shopping for me! haha

Some products I always take a look at during the sale:
- SUNGLASSES: I am a Ray-Ban junkie and with the rate I buy them at, I shouldn’t be paying full price! They also had the ones I recently purchased from Quay Australia!
- COLD WEATHER ESSENTIALS: Mainly jackets (and they go fast) but I love this one from The North Face as well as this one. They are investment pieces but you can wear a snow jacket through so many seasons!
- BEAUTY: I stock up on Donna Karan deodorant. I have seriously tried SO MANY and nothing beats it. You can snag a 3-pack and they will last you until the next sale. And you’ll never smell better! I also usually stock up on perfume (if you know, you know) and this time I picked up some new favorites: Le Labo, Jo Malone (love this travel set), Bloom, and Chloé.
- WORKOUT GEAR: I get a lot of my workout gear from Fabletics but I also love the items they have this time round! I grabbed a few things from Zella (way awesome selection this year!). This sweatshirt came home in the cream and the red, I grabbed a few more of the joggers I LOVE, and this tank.
- LOUNGEWEAR: K, I absolutely live for loungewear! I stock up on all of my Barefoot Dreams cardigans, blankets, moo moos (haha) – if it’s BD, I probably have it. I also really love the Nordstrom brand pajamas and have quite the growing collection! They’re my favorite thing to sleep in!
- SHOES: These deserve their own scroll because there are way too many to choose from!

As you can tell, I grabbed this shirt in a few colors. It’s just a BP basic v-neck and comes in like 9 colors. The jeans are an investment piece but at almost $100 OFF – totally doable.
Ok, I didn’t bring this jacket home with me but how cute is it! I love fuzz, cozy stuff and this jacket ticked all the boxes – just a little big! Had they had it in my size, I totally would have brought it home.

[/flex_row] I didn’t end up getting this dress as I knew I had one at home very similar that is maybe only a month or two old. But it was tough to pass up! I really, really love the fit and color!

As you can see, there are so many good things at this year’s sale! I think shoes are the clear winner, but it’s probably matched by the amount of fantastic loungewear and classic basics. I’ve got the video of all of these try-ons on IGTV! Check it out if you want more details about fit and feel!

P.S. Tell me if you grab anything good – there is so much, I’m sure I missed something!
