Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Top Picks Under $50!

July 22, 2016

Bell Sleeve Dress / Drop Earrings / Red Crossbody Bag / Suede Booties / Brown Crossbody Bag / Plaid Shirt / White Skinny Jeans / Bracelet Set / Platform Wedges

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to the public today and I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t open up a credit or debit card for early access. I have, however, been stalking the sale and adding things to my wishlist like crazy. Today, I’m rounding up my faves under $50 (there’s one thing that’s closer to $100, but it was too good not to share).  In the spirit of wear now, wear later, I’m loving this dress, these skinny jeans and these lace up wedges and I’ll probably be adding this plaid shirt into my wardrobe for fall. Are you shopping the sale now that it’s open to everyone?

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Wear Now & Later Outfits

July 20, 2016

#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.
