Scratch that.
It was a lot overwhelming (especially in the last 24 hours)!
But overwhelming in the best way possible of course. 🙂
I
but I am so happy that all of you participated!
I will FOR SURE do this again,
I will just make the deadline earlier so I can hopefully spare myself an anxiety attack.
Oh, I kid.
😉
And you know what I loved just as much as seeing your pictures? Reading your e-mails!
Some of you are just about as passionate about your items as I am about my items….
and that’s sayin’ somethin’.
Ladies.
I think that we took down Nordstrom.
Go. Us.
Don’t believe me?
I am going to start out by highlighting some pictures that I feel either showcase items that we’ve already talked about or show items that I didn’t pay that much attention to online, but that seem to be awesome!
Let’s get started!
I thought these ladies all looked great in their Pleione shirts!
Click HERE for the purple shirt on the left (with the collar).
It is normally $58, but you can get 2 for $79 right now! What a deal!
It’s not the must have shirt, but it’s the same maker, and it has the exact same fit, the only thing different really is the collar and the band down the middle.
It’s a GREAT shirt and I love it too! Doesn’t it look awesome with leggings?!?
Since the MUST HAVE shirt is pretty much sold out at this point, THIS shirt is a great alternative.
It’s available in several colors and a couple of patterns as well!
Click HERE for the MUST HAVE Shirt (pictured on the 3 other gorgeous ladies)!
Here is another picture of the MUST HAVE shirt on the left and a different Pleione shirt on the right that is super similar. AND it’s not sold out, AND it’s on sale for 2 for $79!
Click HERE for the shirt on the right.
Can’t find the leggings link (so sorry!).
Click HERE for the quilted leather jacket that is gorgeous!
Click HERE for the booties.
I have officially become obsessed with these, and I think would be GREAT with my Vigoss jeans!
They would also look great with skirts as well as boot cut or trouser jeans, and they are at a phenomenal price right now!
I thought I was done with the sale, but these might do me in!
Click HERE for the BCBGENERATION tweed and faux leather jacket.
This jacket fits soooo cute and looks great! How do I not notice it earlier?
I love the details and how it flares out a bit.
Click HERE for the heels (they are FIERCE!).
If I had any place to wear a sexy pair of heels, I would definitely buy these.
Click HERE for the Seven boot cut jeans.
Click HERE for the white faced MK watch with bling and click HERE for the super sparkly bracelet (I love mine!).
Click HERE for the Michael Kors bag with gold accents.
I want this bag!!!!
I think it is the PERFECT fall bag.
The gold accents are so pretty, and I love the cross body option.
You can also click HERE for the larger version.
Click HERE for the gold MK watch with bling! STUNNING!
Click HERE for the studded leopard UGG flat.
SO FUN and HIP….and my friend says they feel like a house shoe!
Okay.
It’s nearing midnight and I don’t have it in me to search all of the boots below.
Click HERE for all Anniversary Sale boots.
If you can’t find the ones you are looking for, leave a question in the comments and hopefully the person wearing the boots will answer!
Click HERE for the darling sparkly Sperry’s for kids!
MY GOODNESS I love these shoes! So SO cute!
Maybe I will have another baby (and hope it’s a girl) so she can wear these shoes! Ha!
Click HERE for the Nike free tennis shoes.
These shoes are CRAZY popular and have amazing reviews.
Click HERE for kid’s North face jackets for both boys and girls.
These are at such good prices!
Click HERE for the distressed Vigoss jeans.
Click HERE for the super cute Zella top.
Click HERE for the North face Caroluna jacket.
So cute and so warm!
You guys are LOVING your Zella items.
Click HERE for my Miz Mooz boots that so many of you are totally loving.
Seriously.
Love.
I love them.
The next 2 collages (and 24 pictures) are of the Vigoss distressed jeans.
If you don’t already have them, I am soooooooooooo sad for you.
These jeans are FABULOUS, and everybody that got them LOVES them.
Doesn’t everybody look soooooo cute in their jeans?
If they still have your size, get them.
Get them now.
THEY ARE ONLY $38 people, and I would pay 4x as much for these amazing jeans!
Click HERE for the jeans.
The next 2 collages (and 26 pictures) are all of the MUST HAVE shirt!
If you have this shirt, chances are you love this shirt.
It’s great with skinny jeans as well as leggings, and is definitely a wardrobe staple.
I seriously cannot tell you how many of you have e-mailed me saying you received your shirt, were surprised at how much you loved it, and then ordered a 2nd
(and sometimes a 3rd) in a different color.
I get it.
I have 2, and I want 3.
Click HERE for the MUST HAVE shirt.
And if you might can fit into petites, they are now available in petites as well!
The next collage are items you scored for your kids and your husbands!
Click HERE for kid’s items (and then use the “narrow by” search as needed).
Click HERE for men’s anniversary sale items (and then use the “narrow by” search as needed).
Okay ladies.
The next 9 collages aren’t organized in any way.
Just lots of pictures of lots of fabulous items!
there were going to be, I had every intention of putting item #s next to
each item. Well, that didn’t happen.
If
you see something that you like in a collage and can’t find it on Nordstrom’s site, please
leave a blog comment! Somebody will know what it is and can respond! Take the time to check all the things, and all the people out!
(I apologize that some of the pictures are turned the wrong way. They wouldn’t correct for me.)
YOU GUYS!
FIRST OF ALL…YOU ARE ALL SO CUTE!
And you ladies really know how to style yourselves! I was very impressed!
I cannot thank you enough for entering the contest and making this idea of mine a success!
So, I wish I could give all of you a prize, but sadly just one will win.
Okay…..
So there were 217 total entries for the contest. WOW!
I put the number of entries into the Random Number Generator,
and this is the number that popped out.
And the name attached to #49 is Awndrea!
Congratulations Awndrea!!!!!
E-mail me at pinteresttoldmeto@yahoo.com, and I will get your $100 Nordstrom gift card
to you immediately!
And one last time….I really can’t think the rest of you enough for taking the time to participate.
I know taking pictures and sending them in takes a lot of time, and I so appreciate the effort.
You ladies are awesome!
Now.
Before you go.
I feel it is my civic responsibility to alert you that the sale ends Sunday night.
(I think the fact the website says the sale ends August 5th is misleading. It actually ends August 4th at midnight pacific time, so there will be no shopping the sale on Monday).
So…..in interest of leaving no sale item unturned….I did one more sweep of the website and came up with some items that are fabulous, but that I hadn’t highlighted yet.
And I would like to tell you to not panic,
BUT YOU SHOULD PROBABLY START TO PANIC.
There’s not much time left! 🙂
Come Monday morning you don’t want to be filled with regret that the boots you loved and ALMOST got on Sunday afternoon are now $80 more expensive on Monday (and for the rest of the season).
That would suck.
Pardon my language.
But it would totally suck.
So….let’s look at some new items that I haven’t talked about yet.
I realized that I hadn’t highlighted any short boots!
Shame on me!
I wasn’t looking for any this year, but it didn’t mean you guys weren’t. As evidenced in the above collages, some of you were on the look-out for some great boots!
Here is a reader (Hi Jennifer!) that styled 2 different pairs perfectly!
Click HERE for boots on left (#1 on the collage below).
Click HERE for boots on right (#5 on the collage below, love the cognac color!)
These 2 pictures make me want a pair of short boots like this!
Here are some of my favorite short boots right now.
Click on the number (above the collage) that you are interested in!
They all have great reviews and their prices are deeply reduced until Sunday!
Again, click on the number you are interested in.
Besides the real leather jacket, all of the things in the below collage are SUPER affordable.
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6
So People.
What are you still doing here?
DON’T MISS THESE DEALS!!!!
Come Monday morning, these AMAZING prices are going to be gone!
just breathe.
and shop.
and have a wonderful weekend!!!!!!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
I.am.amazed! Good grief Sheaffer! We did take down Nordstrom! Holy cow! I am super impressed with your entries…those ladies not only took it down with their Visa, they took it down with the camera too! Quite the fashionistas!! I think it's so fun to see how everyone styled similar things…this was such a great idea!!
Nicki says
I think it's just amazing how many people go out and shop and in turn feel wonderful about themselves because of your blog posts! I'll be the first to say, I never even looked at Nordstrom online (because I don't have a store near me), and now I have so many "wish list" items thanks to you & Shay! 🙂 Keep up the good work ladies… although there are probably lots of husbands out there trying to block your blogs from their wives internet for the sake of their bank accounts! 🙂
Kellyann Rohr says
Nordstrom's needs to send you a commission check!
kristinwithani says
Whew, go take a nap!
I got the Zella pants (4 inches too long even in regular) and they are GREAT! Wish I could keep. I am keeping the capris. They fit so well!
No boots fit my "athletic calves" this go round. Sad face.
Now I want to go look at that blouse….
Katie Skelley says
Great job, ladies!
I got the kids some back to school clothes at the Anniversary Sale and had every intention of sending you a pic, Sheaffer – work just was crazy this week! Next year, def.
I can chime in on the Zella love – I bought a purple top at Nordstrom in 2010 and I promise you that today it still looks brand new, great quality.
Now go prop your feet (clad in those fab boots, of course) up and relax!
Lauren says
Sheaffer, love that you did all this! It's so awesome to see how many ladies really hit up the sale. It makes me feel a little bit better about myself that I bought so much until I see how cute everything is and want more. I'm loving that quilted leather jacket pictured in black – is that the Halogen one? How did it fit? Small, Large, True to Size? Everyone looks great! I need to hide my cc on myself.

Hi Lauren,
Yes, the quilted leather jacket is by Halogen. I absolutely love the fit! It's cut like a bomber jacket and runs pretty true to size. I am wearing a small in the picture which is my true size, but I often order up in jackets if I want to wear them over bulky layers. I could have gone with a small or medium in this one and been fine. If you want a little more room and feel like you'll want to zip it up over sweaters or multiple layers, I'd order up a size. But for fall/spring, my true size worked just fine.
Hope that helps.
Lori
Lauren says
Thanks, Lori! I think I might place an order…I shouldn't but it's just too cute!
Sabrina says
WHYYYYY did I not buy those Nike Free's last week when they had my size??? If I didn't know then, I DEFINITELY know now not to hesitate to purchase something at a great price!
And Sheaffer–YOU, my dear, are a ROCKSTAR when it comes to blog posts! I know it took you a sweet forever to compile all of these pics together and item numbers and links…bless you dear! You are dedicated shopper! We all love you!
aprilparrish says
You go girl!!! This is amazing!! So glad this blog is going great for you! You should be super proud! I loved seeing everyone's items from the sale. I am dying for one of those MK watches and I know I'm gonna regret it like you said if I don't just go ahead and purchase it!!!!!
Have a great weekend! 🙂

I am desperate for the must have shirt….I must have it!!!!! I am debating ordering a petite, even though I don't usually wear them. Do you think the shirt would work in petite if I didn't order a size down???? Help!!!
Sheaffer says
Gosh, I don't know?!? How tall are you?
Anonymous says
I'm 5'5". I know petites are usually for people 5'4" and under. I would wear an extra small in the regular. I have been stalking the Nordstrom site for my size.
Sheaffer says
Hmmmmm….I'm just not sure. Since this shirt is meant to be long and kind of a like a tunic, I'm kind of afraid it would be too short and not the look you are going for. Keep stalking the site!!!!!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂

I am just curious…did people tell you the brand of things they bought? I love the military jacket in one of the pics and the girl who won, I love that white top and cardigan she bought! Just curious if you knew the brand?? Thanks, Allison. 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi Allison! Is the military jacket you like on a girl also wearing white shorts? And I can't find what white top and cardigan you are talking about?!? If you can help me understand which picture you are talking about, I will do my best to find out!
Sheaffer says
Hi Allison!
Jennifer tried to post a comment and was unable to so she e-mailed me your answer! She said both the white t-shirt and the cardigan were from Old Navy last year. She also said that every year they carry a similar white t-shirt, so hopefully you will be able to find what you are looking for!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂

Jen Pogue says
I'm totally blaming you for the 2 more things I just bought from the anniversary sale! 😉 Now I'm all nervous about it being over on Sunday night-eek! Why can't it always be Nordstrom anni sale!? It's been so much fun! I love all of the photos of your readers-they are rockin' their new stuff well!!
Anonymous says
The military jacket I see is within the 9 collages….8th row down, 4th picture over beside the black skirt. And I meant the pink cardigan and white top the girl in the very last picture at the bottom has on (you are talking about her boots…which I also love!!)…Love her whole outfit! Thanks..sorry so confusing last time!! Allison
Sheaffer says
Hi Alison! That's my friend Cassie, and that's actually the same jacket I highlighted earlier. It is actually from the little girl's department, but it is awesome! If you are petite, it would totally work for you! The back of it is DARLING! Go to Nordstrom.com and search Item #698829. I know that Cassie was wearing a 10-12 in that picture, so you could even go up a size!
I don't know about the shirt and cardigan from Jennifer! Hopefully she will see this question and answer you! And yes…I didn't even know I liked those boots until I saw him on her, and now I want them too!!!!!!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Amber says
I am loving that jacket too! I was searching the comments to see if the info for it was here. Unfortunately, I am definitely not going to be able to squeeze into a girls size! Boo! I'm 5' 8.5" and have a bust that a little girl definitely would not have! So sad! 🙁
Tiffany {A Touch of Grace} says
Holy moly! You really had your work cut out for you girl! I love all of the wonderful entries you got! I totally tried on the girls military jacket the other day and it's just a little short waisted for me (I'm 5'10") 🙁 But it is super super cute! I totally got some new ideas from this to take one last look around the store!
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
Ohmigosh! Holy entries! You are doing a public service by making the world a prettier place with all of those fashionable picks. I, for one, thank you from the bottom of my heart (and my wrist does too, with my new MK watch!).

Wow. Your blog is overwhelming!

Many thanks to you and all your readers for all the highlights and tips for the Nordy sale. It made shopping so much more fun and a lot less stressful! I didn't submit any pics for your contest because I was trying to be good, but after I saw how great EVERYONE looked, I decided to splurge a bit 🙂

Had the jeans in my checkout cart and made the mistake of quickly (under 4 minutes) shopping for other fun things and now my size is all gone. Lesson learned that just because the item is in my cart does not mean they will let me pay for it! Still excited for the other fun purchases thou! 🙂
Mandi Moore says
Shaeffer, I'm so excited for all my goodies I got from the sale! I actually just wrote my first post about it (attempting to be a fashionista!) I'd love it if you stopped by, I also linked back to you a lot!! Thanks for all the help and ideas, I love your blog!

So many people are commenting at their sizes are sold out (and the sale is almost over)….here's my question: could I just buy the wrong size now (to take advantage of the anniversary sale price) and exchange in store after the sale is over and stock levels (hopefully) replenish?? I feel like I'm missing something.
Becky Norton says
Shaeffer, I am trying to decide what size to order that shirt in. I know you said to go down a size. I am a size 10 needing a Medium top in some brands and large in others. Don't you think a medium rather than a small? Have you heard any specific sizing with what to order? Thanks! Love your blog!
Sheaffer says
Hi Becky! Your blogger settings are set to "no reply", so I hope you check back here for your answer! I would try a medium for sure! I think it will work!!!!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Becky Norton says
Thanks so much! Ordered it, and tax free this weekend in TN!

Let me first start off by saying I have no idea what my "blogger settings" are. I also just ended a sentence in a preposition. My mother is cursing me. But I'm too lazy to go back to fix it, due to the anxiety attack I seriously just had over the blogger setting situation. Let me first say, I read your post a ways back about making sure it's not set on "no reply" because then you can't reply. Duh. But I'm not a blogger. So I don't know what any of that means. I'm just a Schaeffer stalker. And I want you to be my friend, which if I don't comment, you can't be. Whatever. Anyways, I don't know how else to comment other than anonymous. I don't have a google account, or a URL, and to be perfectly honest, I have no effing clue what the rest of them mean. So, I'm anonymous. But my name is really Morgan. Due to your "no reply" instructions post, I really don't want to be the one that is still not listening, hence the anxiety attack because I can't figure it out.
But on to the reason of my actual post. That sale. Oh boy. I held out so long. And then I caved. I caved hard. Not as hard as I could have. But still fairly hard. First, I purchased Lydell bracelet. I wanted the gold on gold. But I guess I should say bracelets because I potentially ordered one in every color. Whoopsies. Then…..the wedges. I finally got them. I don't even like wedges so you better not be letting me down with those putty wedges. I'm trying to broaden my palette. And after four months of convincing, you finally got me. Then I sent my order.
Which would be cool if it was my only order. But then I saw the "people who bought this also bought these" section. And I had to place a second order for the Call of the Wild bracelets. You didn't highlight these but Shay did. So, naturally I needed them. In two colors. But when I did that, they "recommended" the leopard Toms. So, obviously I needed those too. Seriously, with the recommendations? I'm convinced it's a trap. Or an underground cult. One of the two. Because not only did I purchase one pair of Toms, but two. I obviously needed the camo pair too. And the cross bracelet Shay highlighted a few weeks ago. Because at this point, why not.
I am so stressed by now. But sort of over it because I'm now excited for my package that should be here between Thursday and Tuesday. But I was only on the site like an hour and seriously thought I was going into a nervous breakdown. I don't know how you sifted through like 3000 things. I would be in rehab. There is still a possibility that Paul is going to divorce me before we're even married. God Bless Paul's heart. I was going to try to win him over on the whole "I just spent this month's paycheck, hope you can cover the electricity bill" thing with the super cute initial bracelet that would let everyone know I was his with a P on my wrist…..but they were out of P's. Sorry Paul. Love you but maybe next time.
Anywho, thanks for your dedication. That is seriously hard work. So. Excited.
Sheaffer says
Morgan!!!!! I am laughing sooooooooooooooooo hard at your comment/novel. Love it!
First of all, about the wedges. It's about dang time. You are going to need to go ahead and write me a handwritten thank you note after you get them and realize they really are the best dang wedges on the planet. All of your other stuff sounds AMAZING too! And the leopard burlap TOMS? Oh my goodness, I'm in love. I love Shay's muted camo ones too! And I think it's awesome that you bought all 4 of the bracelets. Good call. 🙂
About all of the settings business, I have no idea really. To be a blogger, I'm actually seriously dumb when it comes to all of that. If you ever want me to be able reply directly to you, just e-mail me at pinteresttoldmeto@yahoo.com
Thanks for the entertainment Morgan!
And yes, Bless Paul's heart. It seems as if he might have his hands full with you! 🙂
xoxo,
Sheaffer
