Items I Own and Love: Still in Stock and STILL ON SALE!

Well, after 3 weeks of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale going strong, we are in the final days! Sunday is the very last day, and then the prices will go back up.

I had a different post planned for today, but I ended up switching things up at the last minute. I know we’ve all been hearing about the sale for weeks and weeks now, but there are still quite a few things available that seem to be well stocked, and these are items that I personally own and love. Many of them will be items that you’ll see me in all fall and winter long, so you might as well grab them at a discounted price right now!

And this is your last chance to grab them STILL ON SALE! I have other favorites from the sale as well, but if they are sold out, I’m not going to waste your time talking about them today!

HOME ITEMS STILL IN STOCK

I’ve owned #8 and #9 for years and they are seriously two of my very favorite things EVER. If you don’t have them, get them. One is super inexpensive and the other is an investment, but they are both worth every. single. penny.

The Dyson V11 cordless vacuum is the vacuum that we have. It is INCREDIBLE. We have two Golden Retrievers, we use the vacuum every single day, and we cannot imagine not having this vacuum. Up until several years ago we were using a vacuum WITH A CORD. I mean, what the heck?  Haha! Going cordless gives you so much freedom, and the capabilities of this vacuum are awesome. It goes seamlessly from one floor surface to another, the suction power is NEXT LEVEL, and the battery life on this one is great.

I purchased the large wood and marble serving board and the knife block this year, and I’m very pleased with both. The serving board is quite large and beautiful! It’s perfect to keep out for decoration, but it’s also an awesome vessel for an epic charcuterie board!

1) Barefoot Dreams blanket / 2) large wood and marble serving board / 3) wood bowl / 4) Dutch oven / 5) marble serving board / 6) set of 4 Voluspa candles / 7) marble and wood cake stand / 8) Dyson V11 cordless vacuum / 9) must have throw blanket / 10) NEST reed diffusers / 11) Pura diffuser set / 12) knife block

I know I’m not alone in this, but new bras and undies make me so happy.

These bras are my favorites that I buy from the sale just about every year. They are comfy, the cups are perfectly rounded, and they make me feel great. Both of these bras have taken the internet by storm over the last several years. I didn’t need any new bras last year because I bought them last year and they are still in great shape. I did add 3 more pairs of these undies to my collection.

top bra / bottom bra / undies

Y’all. This year’s blardigan is lightweight, incredibly soft as always, and just as dreamy as ever. If you’re new around these parts, I call these Barefoot Dreams pieces “blardigans” because they are part blanket/part cardigan. I’m telling you, there’s nothing softer out there. If you don’t have one, you need one. Period. The end. I’m wearing the “driftwood” here, but it comes in 4 colors. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

This year’s version doesn’t have a hood, and it’s longer than any of the others I own. I also think it’s lighter weight than most of them. If you don’t have a blardigan yet, I should tell you that you will wear it ALL YEAR LONG. Most people say they wear it just about every day after they get home. I like to say it’s like wearing a hug. Also, when you can grab them at the sale price, keep in mind that they make EXCELLENT GIFTS. Over the years I’ve given a blardigan to my mom, MIL, sister, SIL, Chris’s grandmother, an extra special one of Carter’s teachers, and a whole lot of friends and others. I’ve found that they are the perfect thing to give to somebody going through a tough time (like a cancer diagnosis). Remember, they are like giving a hug. The person you give one too will think loving thoughts about you each and every time they put it on. Haha! If I give it to somebody that’s going through a hard time, I like to tell them that when they put it on they need to think of it as a hug from me, and I want it to remind them that I’m praying for them.

blardigan / pajamas

OH! AND CHECK THIS OUT! The strapless bra that I’ve been raving about for 8 years now (and have turned so many of y’all onto) is NOW IN THE SALE!  My friend Meagan finally bought one a couple of years ago, and she kept texting me about it saying things like “My saggy boobies have been perfectly happy and supported since 7 a.m.  They feel confident again!”  And days later “I’ve decided I only want to wear the strapless bra.  Always.”  YEP, THAT’S RIGHT. So many of us wear this strapless EVEN WHEN WE DON’T HAVE TO WEAR A STRAPLESS. That’s pretty much unheard of, y’all!  Sizing tips: Some buy their regular size, and some size up in the band or the cup.

Click HERE for this strapless.  Even if you are large chested, you need to try this bra. And you see it also comes with detachable straps. You can wear them straight, you can criss cross them in the back, or you can of course take them off all together.

This year SPANX sent me this pair of undies, and ohhhhhhhemmmmmmgeeeeeeee they are fantastic. They give tummy control for the days you might need that based on what you’re wearing, but they’re incredibly comfortable, and the lace makes them pretty! For size reference, I wear a small.

If you are a Hanky Panky devotee, don’t you worry!  My favorite regular rise thongs can be found HERE. (But my goodness, don’t open the link with kids around!)

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times….this blanket is one of THE BEST VALUES OF THE ENTIRE SALE. There’s only 1 color left, BUT YOU NEED TO GRAB IT!

IT’S ON SALE for ONLY $19.99 y’all, it’s soft as all get out, it looks pretty (I love the fringe!), and it launders great. Buy SEVERAL for your own home (just to keep your family from fighting over it), and then buy them as gifts too. It makes a FANTASTIC Christmas present for anybody on your list. Seriously, ANYBODY and EVERYBODY. It’s also a great graduation present. STOCK UP ON THESE BABIES.

Throw one over the back of your couch, throw one on the foot of your bed, and pile them up in a great basket. You’re going to want to have plenty on hand or your family will fight over them. I’m not even kidding.

Click HERE for the throw.

Oh, and they launder perfectly and don’t lose any of their softness.

Y’all know I’ve been screaming and shouting about Wit and Wisdom jeans for about 8 or so years now. Well, they also have some work pants that are absolutely incredible.

I’m going to talk about 3 different pairs today, but I’m of course kicking things off with the famous MUST HAVE black pants.

These Wit and Wisdom black pants are one of my favorite items in the sale this year (and every year). I look forward to reviewing these every single year for y’all, and the feedback from those of you that try them is always GOLD! Y’all are always absolutely floored at how awesome they are.

So these look like a typical work pant, BUT THEY’RE NOT. They’re soooooooooo much better.

They are stretchy enough that you just pull them on, which tickles me to no end. They don’t have a zipper, but they do have a button and some sturdy hook and eye closures (I think that’s what they’re called anyway). But even though you’re pulling them on like pajama pants and they are just about as comfy as pajama pants, you are ready for the office! I wear my regular size 4, but most definitely size down. (I own these in 2s as well, but I do prefer how the 4s fit me.) The styling of these pants has changed throughout the years, and I love everything about this year’s version. One year they had a stretchy built in belt, one year the front pockets were faux, but this year’s version has real pockets and belt loops (but no belt). EVERYBODY needs a pair of these black pants, but if you work in an office, these are going to be life changing for you. And I’m not even being dramatic.

And how good is this double ruffle sleeve blouse!!! It’s not in the sale, but it is a new release and seems to be well stocked in 4 different colors. In addition to the smokey purple above and the olive below, it also comes in a rust and a gorgeous cream. The details on this blouse are gorgeous. From the ruffled and pleated collar that continues down to the end of the buttons to the double flutter sleeve, it’s so pretty! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Also from Wit and Wisdom is this pair of plaid trousers. They feel the same and the fit is super similar to the must have black pants. I think the waist is maybe a little higher, but if it is, it’s just a tiny bit. Same pull on styling, same stretchy fabric, same flattering fit! Again, I’m wearing my regular size 4 (not petite). If between sizes, definitely size down because of the stretch.

And now for the check trousers. Again, the fit, fabric, and flattery level is super similar to the must have black pants. The above pants have a large plaid pattern, but these have a tiny little check. Size down if between sizes.

v-neck sweater / check trousers / pointy toe pump

And because I think it’s hard to tell the pattern difference in my pics above, here they are side by side. If you work in an office, you DEFINITELY need the black pair, and you probably need the other pairs too. Please just take a chance and TRY these pants. Remember, Nordstrom has FREE SHIPPING and FREE RETURNS, so there is literally ZERO RISK.

check trousers / must have black pants / plaid trouses

And I have three outfit inspo collages for you today too, all perfect for business casual environments.

This one is with my must have black pants. Don’t they look great with a cream cable knit sweater and this pink herringbone coat?!? And the mules!!!

pink coat / cream sweater / Wit and Wisdom black pants / black tote / pearl accent earrings / bracelet stack / watch / cream loafer mules

It’s hard to tell in pics, but the pants below have a large plaid pattern that is subtle and totally chic. They’re from Wit and Wisdom too, and they are super stretchy and comfy with pull-on styling as well, but these will give you an alternative so you don’t have to wear the plain black ones every single day. Because I’m telling you, you aren’t going to want to wear anything else but these stretchy pants. Pants with a regular button and zip are going to feel like a prison. Hahaha! 🙂

Get excited, because I have one more pair of stretchy pull-on pants for you. Pants that are perfect for the office, but would actually be comfortable enough to sleep in as well. No, I’m not kidding. These are a tiny check, and I love how classic they look styled with all black and gold.

These booties were the most comfortable and most flattering bootie option I tried on. These are the mushroom, but I ended up getting them in the Chestnut Suede. The cut-outs are so cute and really lengthen your leg. And yes, they are super comfy and you will be able to wear them for hours and hours without any complaints. True to size for me.

booties

Longtime readers know that I think a great military jacket is essential for everybody to have in their closet. It’s such a great transition piece, and I wear mine all fall and all spring long. This one has a really cute fit, and it also comes in navy and a really light blush. It’s got an internal drawstring which allows you to cinch in the waist, and it’s long enough to cover your backside. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. Right now it’s only $49.99! What a deal!

Here’s a thin long line cardi that can easily be dressed up or down. I love it with jeans, but this would also be great for the office. For size reference, I’m wearing the x-small here, but I need a small.

longline cardigan (plus size cardigan HERE) / v-neck tee / beaded hoop earrings / beaded necklace / pave heart necklace / ankle skinny jeans / loafer mules

Here are the mules I’m wearing in the skinny jeans pics directly above. They would also look great with straight leg jeans and my must have black pants.

I grabbed both the cognac and the denim. I’m obsessed. The slim toe, the chain, the fabrics…OBSESSED. The cognac suede is gorgeous and classic, and I love the edgy vibe of the denim pair! They also come in black and cream leather and a taupe suede. True to size for me.

loafer mules

If you don’t yet have a pair of itty bitty boot cut jeans, you better fix that right now! Wit and Wisdom has done it again, y’all! These jeans will make you feel 5 pounds thinner and 2 inches taller than you actually are. They are so stretchy, so forgiving, and incredibly flattering. Pair them with a heel or chunky booty and you will have legs for days! I’m wearing my regular size 4 (NOT petite), but the majority of people size down in these because they are sooooo stretchy and forgiving. But don’t worry, if you get the right size, they absolutely hold their shape throughout the day.

longline cardigan (plus size cardigan HERE) / v-neck tee / beaded hoop earrings / beaded necklace / must have itty bitty boot cut jeans / Chestnut booties

This dress is pricey even during the sale, but there’s no doubt it’s beautifully made. It just feels expensive, do you know what I mean? The green floral pattern is gorgeous, and the cut and fit are so good. It’s got a drawstring waist and it buttons on the top. The tiered ruffle skirt is my favorite part. You could dress this up with heels and wear it to a summer wedding, it would look great with wedges too, but I also love it with the booties. It would look awesome with tall boots as well. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

This tweed crossbody bag is FABULOUS. The colors, the tweed, the size, the chain straps…I love it all.

v-neck sweater / tweed crossbody bag / chew hem crop boot cut jeans / beaded hoop earrings / loafer mules

I love this pullover in this color, but it also comes in ivory and olive too. It’s an oversized fit and will obviously look great with leggings. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. I’m obviously drawn to this lilac color (which is funny, because purple is usually my least favorite color), and I LOVE these running shorts. These are super lightweight with a built-in liner and side slits that are super cute. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium in the shorts.

pullover / running shorts / On Cloudswift sneakers

Both of these jackets are perfect for fall when it’s just starting to get chilly and you need a layer. I’m wearing a medium in both. The suede moto jacket on the left is buttery soft and a bit oversized with a bit of stretch. It comes in 4 colors. The leather moto jacket has a bit more structure and is a bit more fitted. If broad through the shoulders and chest, you might consider sizing up because of the tailored fit.
