If you’ve been following along for awhile now, y’all know I love Zella workout gear.  And let’s be honest, sometimes (more often than not), I just wear it to lounge around the house and run around town doing errands.  Sure, on occasion I’ll work out in it, but it’s also just great casual every day wear.  I also wear it to the ranch ALL THE TIME.  It’s the perfect super comfy gear to have on while just hanging at the ranch.  You know, going on Ranger rides, sitting around the campfire, grilling, fishing, and for all of the relaxing we do there.

There are TONS of Zella pieces in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year, and to my surprise, much of it is STILL IN STOCK! There’s even a good selection for men and for kids if you want to check that out as well.

I’ve got a handful of outfits for you today, all featuring some of my favorite Zella pieces found in the sale.

OUTFIT #1

This first outfit is one that you will see me in all fall long.  A relaxed fit tee, leggings, and sneakers?  Sign me right on up.

Let’s start with the leggings.  They’ve only got 2 reviews so far, 1 5 star and 1 3 star.  The 3 star review states that they are see thru.  I can’t speak about the other colors, but I can say for sure that the black leggings are completely opaque and aren’t sheer at all.  They are high waisted and keep the tummy sucked in while still being very comfortable.  There’s a side pocket for your phone (see pic on site), and it also states on site that these have reflective details to help keep you safe at night.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the leggings.

This long sleeve pullover tee is incredibly soft, light weight, and it has a good amount of stretch in it.  The fit is very relaxed, which I very much prefer in tops when I’m wearing them with leggings.  It’s got a bit of a hi low hem and the sleeves have a bit of a bat wing design (fitted at the forearm and a more relaxed fit as it goes up).  The arms are quite long on me, so you’ll notice that I have them cuffed at the hem.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

I’m sad to report that my sneakers now have super limited sizing in this rose gold colorway, but they are still available in several sizes in black!  In fact, I have the black ones from last year’s sale and love them.  Probably the most worn sneakers I own.  True to size for me.

On the days that I wear athleisure, I typically do a very soft makeup look and I’ll often times forego eye makeup and foundation.  I usually stick with just powder, blush, bronzer, and lip gloss.

This cheek palette and this lip gloss set are both still available at Anniversary Sale pricing and are both great for these types of days.

OUTFIT #2

For this outfit, I’m wearing every single thing you see in outfit #1, but I just switched out the tee for the sweatshirt.

hoodie sweatshirt / sunglasses / stud earrings / leggings / sneakers

On my (almost) 5’4″ frame, this sweatshirt is long enough for me to wear with leggings, but I don’t think it will be long enough for everybody without putting a longer tee underneath it.

It’s definitely oversized, which I love.  It’s also very soft, which I of course love as well.  It’s thick and warm, so it will be more suited for chilly mornings all the way into winter.

For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

I could definitely wear this on a walk on a chilly fall morning.

But don’t you worry, I could also wear it for a quick nap on the couch. Haha!

In addition to this pretty blue, this hoodie also comes in pink, black, and burgundy.

OUTFIT #3

This outfit has two different MUST HAVE items.  I named the blardigan a MUST HAVE years and years ago.  In fact, I think it was the 2nd or 3rd item I named a must have, like around 7 or so years ago.  The first must have item was the Callisto wedges (fist bump to all of you have been around since then) and the must have denim jacket that I still own and still wear all the time.

These soft pocket lounge leggings are the most recently named MUST HAVE item.  If you saw me last November, December, January, or February…I was most likely wearing these leggings in one of the 4 colors I own.

This light grey color of the MUST HAVE leggings only has only 2 sizes remaining, but if you are dying to have this exact color, just continually check back from now until Sunday (when the sale ends).  Sizes are bound to pop up here and there.

If I had to pick my very favorite color of the must have leggings, it would be the “black” (which is really more like a dark charcoal grey).  And great news! The “black” are still fully stocked in all sizes! You can see them on me at the bottom of today’s post.

This short sleeved tee is a great tee and a fantastic buy!  It’s perfectly relaxed and a great length for leggings.  It’s soft and stretchy knit and has a cute little notched hem.  It’s one of my favorite purchases from the sale.  I ordered the black too.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

OUTFIT #4

I went for a monochromatic look here, wearing the MUST HAVE leggings with this fabulous crew neck sweatshirt.

I cannot say enough great things about this sweatshirt.

First of all, it’s insanely soft.  Like really realllllllllllllly soft.

It’s definitely oversized (which we know is my favorite) and it really is the perfect sweatshirt for leggings.  It for sure covers your backside, and it’s a relaxed fit without being sloppy.  It’s lined with a soft fleecy material AND IT HAS POCKETS that are also lined with a super soft fabric.

If you were just going to get 1 sweatshirt today, even though I love the blue hoodie above, I would definitely recommend this one over the hoodie.  It’s regularly $69, but right now it’s only $44.90.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.  And I just decided I’m getting the pink before the prices go back up.  I have no doubt that I will live in these sweatshirts.

As with the other tops in this post, the sleeves are a little long.  I haven’t cuffed them here, but I will cuff them when I wear it in the future.  For what it’s worth, I do think my arms are on the short side.

OUTFIT #5

I’m showing ya’ll this outfit one more time because these are the “black” MUST HAVE leggings, and this color is still stocked in all sizes!

cozy wrap jacket (plus size jacket) / long sleeve tee /  sunglasses / huggie earrings /MUST HAVE leggings / similar sneaker with 3 gold stripes

When you take this whole outfit into consideration, I seriously don’t know how I could get more comfy.

This cozy wrap jacket is straight up fabulous. Sometimes it shows that it’s sold out, but if interested, you should keep checking back because small amounts of different sizes and different colors keep popping up here and there.  As I mentioned in previous posts, it runs quite large (for size reference, I’m in an x-small), and I expect that there are a high number of returns happening because people that weren’t given a heads up ordered their normal size and found themselves swimming in it.  It’s got a funnel neck collar, snap closure, a super cozy fleece lining, and it’s plenty long enough to cover your backside in leggings.  Still, I would definitely recommend sizing down a size (or maybe even 2).

This long sleeve tee is incredibly soft, which is what matters to me. For those of you that are actually working out in it, it’s made of breathable and sweat wicking fabric that will keep you cool during a work out!  For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

So I know if you read this blog even semi regularly, you’ve definitely heard me screaming and shouting about these leggings since November.  And again, this is the color that is still in stock.  I showed the light grey earlier in today’s post, but I want to talk about them in more detail here since this is the color that is still available.

I ADORE them.  And I’ve basically made it my personal mission to convince everybody to try them for themselves.  #dramaticbuttrue

They are high waisted like the Zella high waisted live in leggings we all know and love.  But get this, the waistband is a soft ribbed material.  They don’t have as much compression as the original leggings, which actually makes them even more comfortable, and I’ll take comfort over compression every day of the week. #andtwiceonSunday

In addition to the cute pockets and the awesome ribbed waistband, there are also cute little bands at the bottom.  So  they have jogger styling, but they fit like leggings. They’re awesome.

Also.  THEY ARE SO SOFT.

And I’m telling you, the fit is adorable.

OUTFIT #6

Here’s one last look at the leggings.  And even though this sweatshirt isn’t in the sale, it is still available and fully stocked!

I could wear an outfit like this every single day of my life and be happy.

I would like to leave you with one thought…..

GET THE LEGGINGS.  They’re also still available in plus size HERE.  And oh my goodness!  I just realized that they are also available for little girls HERE.

At this price, there is seriously no excuse to not at least try them.  We all know that Nordstrom has FREE SHIPPING and FREE RETURNS, so there’s ZERO risk involved.  Just try them!  I feel confident that you will love them!

That’s all for today, Ladies!

I hope you take advantage of the sale prices right now and get all stocked up for your athleisure wear for this year.  I’m telling you, once the temperatures drop, you’ll be so glad you have these items in your closet and all ready to go!

A huge THANK YOU to Nordstrom and ShopStyle for sponsoring this post.
