Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try On Session!!!

It's here!! It's fiiiiinaaaaaallyyyyy here!! SO many good things!!!! I'll post videos of some of the items on my FB page, so please keep checking there too!
Just a few tips for shopping the sale:
---DO NOT wait to check out! Add to cart and check out one at a time! Items sell SUPER QUICKLY!! Things will sell out as you shop if you don't check out immediately. It's crazy, I know!
---If you aren't sure which size to order, I recommend ordering two sizes if you can! Returns are so easy at Nordstrom and it's better than missing out completely if it sells out before you can order another size!
--- IF something sells out, keep checking back daily! Items don't usually get completely restocked, but as returns start to come in there will be hit or miss restocks and it's worth a try to keep checking. 
--- Not sure if they will do this again, but last year if something sold out, we could call Nordstrom and they would try to find the item in store for us. I haven't tried it yet this year, but it is worth a try if needed!

Links, sizing info and my reviews posted throughout this post as usual <3

AAAHHH one of my fave outfits! Cardi is available in several colors for $31!!! Love the fit and the pockets <3 I sized down one size to a medium and for reference, I am 5'8.
I sized up one size in the cami! No stretch! SO CUTE! It's just $24!!
These denim were a no brainer for me! I purchased the same pair in a darker wash in last year's sale and have wanted a second pair in a lighter wash ever since. I sized up TWO sizes this year! I'm usually a size 12 and I sized up to a 34 in these but then they are perfect <3 So soft and stretchy comfy and i LOVE the cute cropped step hem!



This tee may sell out quickly at just $15!! There are five color options and it's very, very good for the price! Not sheer and a nice, loose fit <3 True to size, I'm in large.
Shorts and sandals are not part of the sale. They are just what I had on to go shopping in :) I love them both though! I sized up one size in the shorts and I sized up a half size in the sandals. Both are super comfy, AND the shorts are 40% off right now!  <3 



TOP // SHORTS // SANDALS

This is another top that I think might sell out quickly at just $24! If you love a waffle knit henley, THIS one is super soft and stretchy comfy! My normal size was tighter than skin tight though, so I sized up two sizes :)  For reference, I'm usually a size large and I'm in the XXL here! Shorts and sandals are not part of the sale. They are just what I had on to go shopping in :) I love them both though! I sized up one size in the shorts and I sized up a half size in the sandals. Both are super comfy, AND the shorts are 40% off right now! <3 


JACKET // TOP // SHORTS // SANDALS

This jacket is what dreams are made of <3 It looks and feels like real, very high quality leather! Stretchy panels on the underside of the arms make it very comfy too <3 I sized up one size to an XL for reference. Also available in Black! Love, love, love, love, love this jacket! 
Same shorts and sandals as above.
Better pic of the top below ↓


TOP // SHORTS // SANDALS

You know I love a good work to weekend top!! This one is soooo cute with the mini leopard print <3 True to size, I'm in large. Four color options available! It's just $31!!



CARDI // TOP //  SHORTS // SANDALS

SO in love with this new Leith cardi <3 The pictures and videos do not do this color justice. It's a beautiful dark burgundy/purple in person! Cardi is available in several good colors! Runs big and I sized down one size to a medium and for reference, I am 5'8. I can't wait to wear this over dresses and with denim and with leggings and with... everything! 


CARDI // TOP //  SHORTS // SANDALS

Same cardi as above, different color <3  


TOP  // DENIM // SANDALS

Ladies, please meet my new most favorite pair of denim that I am so proud to own <3 Well, *will own* in 3-5 days. Had to order the correct size online [I needed to size up one size from the 32 I'm pictured in] because of course they didn't have my size in store. Yes, they are pricey. YES, they are worth it. I can't wait to get these!! They are stretchy comfy AND you can unroll them and they are cute when full length too [pic below]! They might just be the cutest pair of boyfriend fit denim I ever did see <3 Stay true to size for a "slim boyfriend" fit. Size up for a true, loose boyfriend fit.
Top and sandals are not part of the sale. They are just what I wore to go shopping in :)  TTS in the top. Size up a half size in the sandals. SO COMFY!



Same denim as above. Just showing them unrolled vs rolled. They're super cute worn either way! 


TOP // DENIM // SANDALS

Okay, this is the AG denim that I had my heart set on until I saw and tried on the Rag and Bone pair [last picture above this one]! The AG are SUPER CUTE, have a brighter blue wash, and I love the fit BUT they just aren't as stretchy as the Rag and Bone pair, so not quite as comfy, and they are shorter and just don't look right unrolled, while the Rag and Bone pair look cute either way. For the same price, I recommend grabbing the Rag and Bone pair <3  I sized up one size in both! SO CUTE!

This top is super cute too and great for work to weekend <3 Runs small, no stretch, so size up especially if you are busty! This is my usual large pictured, and I felt more comfortable sizing up one size [pictured next].


TOP // DENIM // SANDALS

There now! That's better! See how you can see that it's actually a drape neck in one size up? So much better than the white one in the previous pic! For reference, I'm usually a size large and I'm in the XL here, and now I want all five colors <3  No stretch but it's a gorgeous, silky fabric and perfect for work to weekend!

These denim were a no brainer for me! I purchased the same pair in a darker wash in last year's sale and have wanted a second pair in a lighter wash ever since. I think I might like the lighter pair even more than my dark pair too! Sizing--- I sized up TWO sizes this year! I'm usually a size 12 and I sized up to a 34 in these, and then, they are perfect <3 So soft and stretchy comfy!! I LOVE the cute cropped step hem! Just so refreshing after wearing skinny denim for so long, you know? LOVE THESE!



PLEASE don't wait if you want the Spanx leggings!!! This is the best price I've ever seen them at so they should go VERY quickly!! I size up one size and they are EvErYtHING <3  I shouldn't say this because obv can't guarantee this but I seriously feel like they make me look one size smaller! I know you can't tell in the pic but it's the best I have so far lol. You just have to try them!!!  Faux leather AND basic black are in the sale at the best price ever!! I size UP one size!! 
Cardi is super cute and super soft and cozy! Runs VERY big! I'm usually a size large and I'm in the S/M here, and it's actually too big! Size down two sizes in this one and enjoy the plush, oversized coziness of Zella cashmere <3 





Speaking of sell out risk, Barefoot Dreams circle cardi's have been known to sell out very quickly every. single. year! True to size, I'm in the L/XL. The body is roomy but the sleeves are more fitted. THE SOFTEST and BEST quality cardi ever made by man <3 Wear it in, wear it out, keep one at work for the freezing cold office, keep one in the car, but def grab at least one in a new color this year before they sell out!! 
Top and joggers are super soft and stretchy and remind me of Gibson cozy fleece, except that they are about half the price <3 True to size, lots of cute colors and patterns available at a great price!!



Same cozy soft and stretchy top as the last picture, just a different [cute pink camo] print <3   You can wear this one in or out! Great price too! 


TEE //  COZY JOGGERS 

Same cozy joggers as the leopard print above, just in the cute pink camo print instead <3  There was definitely a moment when I couldn't stop putting all the soft cozy on my body <3  Tee runs big and I sized down one size to a medium. Lots of colors for just $15!  Joggers are true to size and I'm in large. SO soft and stretchy comfy + pockets!





Oh Mama, this jacket. First, please understand that the one I'm pictured in is a size too big, so it looks overwhelming here, but sizing down one size will be perfect and SO, so cute! I had to order online because, of course, they didn't have my size in store. I can't wait to get this one! It is the softest and squishiest and comes in three cute colors too <3 Perfect for lounging to running errands, for traveling to and from the gym to going to outdoor sports events. I LOVE.
Hoodie is cropped and I seriously don't know why I tried it other than this:  I just like to try to step out of my comfort zone every once in awhile. This one made me step right back IN to my comfort zone though lol. I sized up one size but can't get over the fact that Ima show it all if I raise my arms, so, needless to say, this hoodie is a no for me. I've seen others pull off the look in a very cute way with some high waist leggings though!
Speaking of high waist leggings, these Zella ones are a dream. Wear them from work to weekend! Love the slight compression and the great quality [not sheer], the high waist and the hidden pocket <3 I stay true to size and basically now have a collection of colors from grabbing a couple pairs in each NSale each year! This year has some CUTE new colors too! 



CARDI // TOP //  SHORTS // SANDALS
SELL OUT RISK: No surprise, this cozy soft cuteness is already losing sizes! I sized down one size to a medium and LOVE IT! Perfect colors for Summer and Fall...and Winter <3 Okay and Spring :)


TOP // DENIM // SANDALS

If you love Barefoot Dreams, you will LOVE this top! It's Caslon and under $50 but it feels just. like. Barefoot Dreams Cozychic!! The softest and super stretchy comfy! I sized UP one size for a tunic fit <3 Several colors available!

These denim were a no brainer for me! I purchased the same pair in a darker wash in last year's sale and have wanted a second pair in a lighter wash ever since. I sized up TWO sizes this year! I'm usually a size 12 and I sized up to a 34 in these but then they are perfect <3 So soft and stretchy comfy and i LOVE the cute cropped step hem!




I mean, comfort + quality + cute + WATERPROOF <3 Four colors!! TTS

TOP // DENIM // SANDALS

I LOVE both of these pieces!! This top is the new, super cute Free People top [I sized down one size to a medium] and these denim are nothing short of a dream <3 I sized up one size. They are such a great lighter wash and just realllllly cute in person + I love how stretchy comfy they are! Just the right amount of distressing and then the raw edge hems too <3  



My love for this sweater is strong <3 I want every color! It's super soft and squishy cozy and such a cute fit too! TTS This one is going quickly!!

Everywhere you turn in this sale there are great jackets <3  Not sure I even tried on a single bad one! This one is a Caslon knit blazer, so stretchy comfy, only $39! TTS I'm in large. All EIGHT colors still available at post time!
Top is true to size and soft but in my opinion, not worth $38. Cute colors, but we can do just as good with the Amazon one that we love, HERE.
Same denim and sandals as above <3


TOP // DENIM // SANDALS

Just showing a better view of the same top as above. Don't get me wrong, it's very cute! I just have a very similar one from Amazon that feels like the same quality for half the price <3  
Amazon ones HERE and HERE.


TOP  // DENIM // 

Same Caslon top as earlier in a different color <3 SO CUTE in person! Not sure why but I just don't like a big bold print, but I LOVE a cute small scale print like this one and it's available in four colors at post time! TTS I'm in large.
Okay, finally got to try Good American denim! Very soft and very stretchy comfy and a GREAT fit! I stayed true to size but size down if in between!

Very happy to see one of my most worn fabrics in the sale: Vince Camuto rumple satin <3  Can you see the stud detail down the front? SO cute and perfect for work to weekend! Available in several pretty colors too! TTS I'm in large. Feels like silk but you can machine wash and hang to dry :)


TOP // DENIM // SANDALS

As expected, the new Free People top is nothing short of adorable <3 I sized down one size to a medium. Several colors available, but this one will probably go quickly!

Okay, this is the AG denim that I had my heart set on until I saw and tried on the Rag and Bone pair [ here ]! The AG are SUPER CUTE, have a brighter blue wash, and I love the fit BUT they just aren't as stretchy as the Rag and Bone pair, so not quite as comfy, and they are shorter and just don't look right unrolled, while the Rag and Bone pair look cute either way. For the same price, I recommend grabbing the Rag and Bone pair  [ here ] <3  I sized up one size in both! SO CUTE!



TOP // DENIM  //

These denim came home with me <3 I've already worn them almost daily <3 I sized up two sizes though!!


TOP // DENIM  // 

I love the print of this top but the tie front just was not flattering on me :(  I'm heaviest in my upper body, so it didn't work for me, but it might work for other body types! Runs small and I sized up one size to an XL.



CARDI // TOP //  SHORTS // SANDALS 

SO many good cardi's in this sale!! This one is super soft and cozy and runs big! I sized down one size! Also available in solid colors [ here ]
