Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Wear Now & Later Outfits

#NSALE

Anyone else think it’s mildly amusing/straight up crazy seeing everyone rock their favorite fall outfits in the middle of summer? I get it, #NSale is the biggest sale of the year at Nordstrom and really the only one of it’s kind – for a few weeks, Nordstrom slashes prices for brand new arrivals to help you stock up for fall. But since the last thing you probably want to do right now is through on your brand new blanket scarf in 100°F weather, I rounded up a few outfits that you can totally wear now and wear later. (NOTE: You can click on the images or the “SHOP” icons to get more details!).

Wear Now: Split Neck Shift Dress / Tortoise Sunglasses / Envelope Crossbody Bag / Strone Bracelets / T-Strap Sandal / Wear Later: Split Neck Shift Dress / Drop Earrings / Drawstring Tote Bag / Suede Block Heel Sandal

Sure, you can stock up on jeans and sweaters right now, but I’m still in an easy, feels-like-I’m-wearing-nothing mood so I’ve been gravitating toward all the dresses that are on major sale. I especially love this turquoise split neck dress – the jewel tone is perfect for summer, but can still transition into fall with the right accessories (like a neutral bucket bag and cognac suede heels).
I’m also loving this printed shift dress. With the pale pink and rich olive color combo, you pretty much get the best of both seasons. Throw on a stack of beaded bracelets and a pair of fringe heels now, then switch into a chunky link watch and suede booties for later.

The One Dress You Need This Summer

Skirt The Rules / Palm Leaf Print Dress

Ann Taylor ‘Amalfi’ halter dress (50% off!) / Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’ sunglasses / Spring Street beaded tassel necklace (sold out, similar here) / Kendra Scott ‘Lawson’ cuff (c/o) / Pour La Victoire ‘Yaya’ heels / NARS Audacious lipstick in ‘Greta’

I’ve probably seen a million bloggers wear this dress already. And then there’s the fact almost all of my co-workers own it. That’s usually enough reason for me not to buy an item of clothing, but when I tried this leaf print dress on I just couldn’t resist.

The View from Brooklyn

Cute Summer Outfit / Floral Print Maxi & Straw Clutch

Mimi Chica floral print maxi dress (on sale for $28 – almost sold out!) / J.Crew rattan clutch / Kendra Scott ‘Benning’ tassel pendant necklace (c/o) / Steve Madden ‘Sweetyy’ lace up sandal / NARS Audacious lipstick in ‘Greta’

You know when you do something for the first time in a long time and you wonder, “Why don’t I do this more often?” That’s how I feel every time I visit the Brooklyn.
