I know many of you have been waiting for today! If you are Ambassador level at Nordstrom, today is the day you can shop! CUE THE PARTY HORNS, Y’ALL!
I shopped in store yesterday, and I was able to try on lots of really great stuff, but I was so tired when I got home that you are going have to wait see most of those items tomorrow (although I will share a handful of styled outfits on today’s post).
LADIES. Listen to me.
This Barefoot Dreams lounge set is to die for. DID YOU HEAR ME? IT’S TO DIE FOR. Is it expensive? YES. Is it worth it? ALSO, YES. Last year’s set sold out in most sizes and colors by the end of day 2.
Now I’ll admit, it’s not like you put it on and think “this is the cutest thing I’ve ever had on my body”. But you will think it’s the softest and most comfortable thing you’ve ever had on!!! It’s got the softness of a blardigan, but with lounge set styling. It’s lightweight and INCREDIBLY LUXURIOUS. I’m wearing a small here. I tried the medium to see if I liked the more relaxed fit, and while I did like the fit of the top, the medium pants were too big.
I WILL WANT TO WEAR THIS EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
Please keep in mind that this set (as well as everything else from the Barefoot Dreams line) makes an EXCELLENT gift for pretty much any lady in your life. Moms, mother-in-laws, grandmothers, sisters… everybody loves Barefoot Dreams.
There is lots of great activewear from tons of different brands in the sale this year. Click HERE for all of the Zella options alone!
This just might be my favorite athleisure set I tried on.
The piped half zip pullover is the stuff that pullover dreams are made of. Because for me, a stand-up collar is at the top of my list! It’s a roomy fit with a kangaroo pocket, and the deep blue with the light blue piping is so sporty, and I love it. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium in the top.
The leggings are super stretchy, they’ve got moisture wicking technology, and they’re just so darn cute! The piping really helps make them extra flattering. The 7/8 length always works the best on my build (5’4″ with no torso and long legs for my height). For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the leggings.

These sneakers (seen above too) have my heart. This is the “orchid fade” color combo, and I know I’m going to wear the heck out of them. In addition to loving the color, I’m a HUGE fan of the bungee cord laces. I really like the ability to slip my sneakers on and off without having to tie them. These are light as a feather and incredibly comfortable. I have a different colorway from last year and I have zero complaints about the style or fit. They’re awesome, and they’ll probably be an early sell out. True to size for me.
This Our Place Set is such an incredible deal, and I’m not sure how well it’s stocked, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it sells out super fast. I don’t need it because I already have so many Our Place pieces, but if you don’t… GET THIS SET.
Here’s the real truth, if you haven’t updated your cookware lately, then there’s a good chance it’s toxic. Sad, but true. I’ve owned and loved lots of Our Place pieces for over 5 years now, and I love it all just as much now as I did when I first got it. This set is GORGEOUS and a really awesome deal.
This next little trio set sold out very early in the sale last year, so DON’T MISS OUT THIS YEAR! I know you want bougie armpits. #justadmitit
The 3-pack will last me until next year’s sale. I get that it’s a total bougie move to wear deodorant that’s this expensive, but I can’t help it. I LOVE IT. I think I told the story about my friend Meagan complimenting how I smelled one day (we were working side by side while volunteering at the Manda Strong Golf Tournament a couple of years ago), and I was like “Thank you, it’s my armpits“. It’s true, y’all. Plus, it not only smells great, it also WORKS.
And really, when you think about it, $72 for armpits that are dry and smell delightful FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR is actually a super deal. 😉
This is a product that I’ve been devoted to for many many years. I added into my routine after reading about it on several blogs and in several “BEST OF” beauty articles. Lots of users compared it to the much more expensive La Mer line, but they said they preferred this product! That was it, I was convinced I needed to try it. I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IT. Officially it’s a cream that floods skin with moisture for a glowing complexion in a flash. A little goes a long way with this cream, and it’s not greasy, but it is incredibly hydrating. There is a very light rose scent to this cream, and I don’t normally care for rose, but it doesn’t bother me at all. I buy this set during the N Sale every year, and it lasts me all year long.

Another ride or die product for me is the Unseen Sunscreen. This product does an incredible job protecting my skin and keeping new sunspots from creeping up. It goes on like a makeup primer and completely absorbs into my skin immediately. It’s not oily or greasy at all, and I love it. I also like that this set doesn’t include any random products, it’s just the good stuff!
These loafers were perhaps one of the biggest surprises of the sale for me. I don’t even remember seeing these when previewing the sale, but I thought they were super cute as soon as I laid eyes on them. AND THEN I PUT THEM ON. They are incredibly comfortable and really really cute. I got the “bamboo brown”. True to size for me.
I got this pair of street sneakers to wear with denim. They are going to be great with my ankle jeans and tees, sweatshirts, and sweaters. They are super comfy and are a perfect neutral with some style.
They are called a “runner sneaker”, but I can guarantee you there will be no running happening. There will just be walking around and looking cute with a bit of a retro vibe. True to size for me. They also come in different options with a black accent and a silver accent.
The accessories are really great this year! Here are some necklaces I took to the dressing room with me and styled in several outfits.

When I tell you the women’s cashmere this year in the sale is insane, I MEAN IT IS INSANE. Click HERE to see all of it. We’re talking long sleeve, short sleeve, cardigans, hoodies, wraps, and probably other items I just can’t think of right now.
You can’t get much more classic that this crewneck cashmere sweater. It is 100% cashmere and the quality is fantastic. Designed with refined ribbed trim at the neckline, cuffs, and hem, it offers a polished silhouette that elevates any smart-casual look. Sophisticated yet versatile, it’s the perfect choice for office days or relaxed elegance with the natural warmth of cashmere fibers. I couldn’t have said it better myself. I’m loving this warm chocolate brown, but it comes in 7 color options. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
And there’s no better time to buy cashmere than during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
The high waist wide leg jeans are from Kut. They’re super soft with a great amount of stretch and a relaxed (but flattering!) fit. I think y’all are going to love these jeans, and they are an awesome price right now at under $80. I’m wearing a 4 and wouldn’t want to go any smaller, but if you’re between sizes, you can probably size down.

There wasn’t a great bootie selection at my Nordstrom, but I did think these were very pretty (and I’m wearing them above). They come in this chocolate suede or a black leather. I wish they came in some sort of a taupe or neutral suede because that’s what I tend to gravitate towards, but this deep chocolate brown is totally on trend.
I love the buckle, the classic styling, and the heel height. True to size for me.
And I promise, you’ll see lots more outfits on tomorrow’s post, I just ran out of steam yesterday!

FALL OUTFIT PLANNING and STYLE IT AGAIN, SHEAFFER!
Y’all know I love styling outfits and creating these inspiration collages, so I thought it would be fun to create outfits made up of pieces just from the Anniversary Sale! I hope to create lots of these outfit collages during the course of the sale, but I have several to get us started today.
These sweatpant jeans weren’t at my store :(, but I’m going to order them today! I tried on this bubble jacket and loved it so much I bought it (I took a small). And how cute are these Gazelle sneakers! I saw them in store and they were adorable.

Maybe you remember this outfit from yesterday? I tried on the cardi in store and thought it was great. You will see it on me tomorrow (I took a medium).

This is the first time you’re seeing this chambray peplum blouse styled in an outfit.
I was disappointed because this top, these booties, and these jeans weren’t in my store… but these jeans from Wit and Wisdom are super similar and super affordable (I tried them yesterday and thought they were great).

And I thought I’d try a denim on denim look just for fun…

I’m dying over everything in this collage. The cardi! The jeans! THE BAG! The accessories!

Here I wanted to show a different way to style the cardi, so I chose a pair of dark wash denim and some different accessories.

This outfit is basic, but in the very best of ways.

Y’all know I love a peplum blouse. And I’m thinking this deep green floral one might just be one of my favorite items from the sale. I was so disappointed it wasn’t in my store, but I’m ordering it today (I’m thinking it will be a quick sell-out).
