I hit up my local store yesterday to try on some of the items in the sale because things always look different in person and when they are on! You can only tell so much from an online photo. Here are the outfits from my NSale try on session. I found some things I LOVE. There were also many things missing from my store that I wanted to try so I have ordered those and will share when they arrive.
You can see my complete Nordstrom Anniversary Sale guide by category HERE.
Let me start by something about this sale. Yes, there are tons of Fall items on sale. Yes, there are some good deals to be had, but my philosophy is always the look for less. I like finding great items at great prices and splurging on a few statement pieces here and there. I do not believe in buying the most expensive, only wearing designer, going into debt for clothes, etc. At the end of the day. . .they are just things! I like to buy staple pieces during the sale and maybe a more expensive item I have had my eye on like Barefoot Dreams, etc, but. . .even during this sale I am looking for the best of the affordable things! As you will see from my lists below almost everything I am showing you is very affordable! Like the denim jeans I share. . . all but 1 are under $50! I like to find cute things for great prices. During this sale Nordstrom has great items priced comparable to Target, Old Navy, AE, etc. Hopefully you will find some things you love that are very budget friendly (most things under $50)!
♥ FOR SIZING REFERENCE I AM 5’9″ AND TYPICALLY WEAR A M/L IN TOPS & DRESSES, SIZE 8/29 IN JEANS
♥ WHAT I AM WEARING/USED IN MOST PICTURES:
- SELF TANNER: this is my favorite self tanner. It is the only thing that gives me a glow. I don’t tan on my own and am super pale. They have a huge jumbo size in the sale for a great value.
- WATCH: This Michelle watch was a splurge! I bought it 14 years ago and wear it every single day. It is my absolute favorite. The newest version of the Michelle watch is in the sale and a huge savings (save $860)!!
- EARRINGS:I wear these pearl earrings all the time. They are simple, easy and inexpensive ($35).
- CURLING IRON: I use this T3 1.25 curling iron every time I curl my hair. I debated spending this much on a curling iron, but I am so glad I did. It makes a huge difference with my hair. The wand is longer and makes my hair hold curl way longer than any other curling iron. That is totally worth it to me. It is part of the sale and an amazing price for this curling iron!
Ok, on to the try on session!
