NSALE Try on Session

August 11, 2020 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

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!

When designing our home I pulled inspiration from all over! Pinterest, Instagram, magazine, design books, etc. we had this long spot in our front entry that we were trying to figure out and when I saw this image (swipe to see) in @gilschaferthearchitect ‘s book it stopped me in my tracks. I loved the use of transoms and designated spaces. My architect @josephpaulhomes & his wife Michelle helped pull the whole look together. So happy with how it turned out.

My grandfather owned a grocery store in New Jersey. The scale hanging from the ceiling in our butler’s pantry was the scale in his store. My uncle had it for the longest time & gifted it to me when we moved into this home. I love it so much!! My mom has the cash register he used in his store in her home. I love decorating with items that have meaning & that tell a story.

I love hallways & nooks. They are a great way to add interest to your home. Natural light & details are key. This space connects our hearth room to the gameroom. The Dutch door goes out to our courtyard, the room at the end is my office and the door to the left (just out of the photo) goes to the pool bath. Lots going on in this space.
I saw this floor pattern in a design book & had to have it somewhere in our home. I love it so much!

Bathrooms are such a fun space to make bold choices. They are small so every decision & detail makes a big impact. Still in love with this wallpaper from @wallpapersgalore_

✨REMODEL UPDATE: FAMILY ROOM✨

This family room had good bones, but we needed to declutter , maximize storage, update furnishings & make the space more functional.

🤎comment SHOP for sources
➡️ swipe to see before & after photos

There was a wall of shelves that was just too much. We purged and decorated with items that she loved & had sentimental value. So many homes are built with tons of open shelving and you have to be really careful in these spaces because they can become a spot for clutter instead of being intentional. 
•added cabinet doors to 2 sections of shelves for some much-needed hidden storage.
•utilized the shelving that was separate from the other ones to make a designated bar space that is intentional and great for entertaining.
•found an gorgeous antique bar back to go against the wall that again is used as a bar when they entertain. Previously, it was a huge bench that took up width, but added no height to the wall. This is a major focal point in this space so we made it both functional and beautiful.
• I am not a huge fan of sectional couches unless they are in very specific areas. I think sometimes when people have a big room, they look for a big furniture to take up the space but it doesn’t actually give you the most seating and the spacing is sometimes awkward. They still really wanted a leather couch in there so we kept that, but then used more tailored chairs to frame the space.
• found this gorgeous coffee table on Facebook marketplace. Such a find!
•Removed the huge windmill fan that really took away from the gorgeous architecture of the ceiling with the beams.
•filled in dead space with functional furniture, like a cute table perfect for  game night.
•scaled back the TV so it made more sense over the fireplace and went with a frame one so there could be pretty art up there as it is a main focal point. (Art was off in this photo, but typically it looks like a vintage painting)

So excited with how this space turned out. It’s lighter, brighter, more functional & a better use of space. They have walls of windows along the back of the house with a beautiful view and now you’re able to focus on that more.

✨REMODEL UPDATE: DAUGHTER’S BATHROOM ✨

Throughout this remodel you will see two constant goals…brighten up the spaces & add functional storage. This bathroom was dark & dated. We took everything out and had a fresh start. 

🩵 comment SHOP for sources

•New paint, wallpaper, tile, fixtures, lighting, etc.
•Raised the height of the counters & some additional cabinetry extending up to the ceiling for much needed storage. 
•Added cute details to the side of the counters
•Removed the tub & added a glass door to the shower to make the space feel bigger & more open.

This sweet girl has brought us so much joy! We are “foster failures” & couldn’t be happier about it. Callie has been the best addition to our family.
Chat GPT made this cute art from our Christmas picture of her. She was living her best life with all the ribbon from the presents.

I love a mudroom! I don’t care what size house I live in from here on out I’ll always have some “mudroom” space…even if it’s a tiny little spot. It’s so great to have a drop zone to keep organized. This space got lots of use during our ice storm with all the wet shoes, etc & these brick floors were great!!

Feels strange getting back to work this week. We’ve been living in PJs and been asking what day it was for about a week now. Snowmageddon 2026 was fun & we still have piles of ice on the ground….BUT nice to go back to a bit of a routine. January felt like 47 days 🤪
