It’s HERE! Today is the day that I know lots of y’all have been waiting for! ALL Nordstrom cardholders CAN NOW SHOP, and I’m happy to report that there are still some incredible deals just waiting to be scooped up.
Before we get started though, if you didn’t catch my first Amazon Prime Day post, click HERE to see it! I’ll have another post that will go out tomorrow, so make sure you check back for that as well!
And if you didn’t see my Nordstrom post yesterday, you need to click HERE to see some of my tip top favorites. I highlight several favorite pieces as well as all the shoes I grabbed. As you know, I’m all about the basics…
Okay, let’s get to it….
MORE FAVORITE OUTFITS
This long sleeve slub tee became a favorite two years ago. I already own several colors and wear them alllll the time.
This is the “blue fog”, but there are 6 total options to choose from. The tee is lightweight, soft, and I find it to be the perfect top for leggings. It covers the bum, it’s obviously a super relaxed fit, and it has thumbholes. It’s a total steal during the N Sale at just under $30. Grab AT LEAST 1. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium in the blue (for an oversized fit like you see below). In a second you’ll see me in the light pink in a small so you can see the difference in how they fit.
Y’all know the 7/8 leggings are a favorite of mine, and I always grab a new pair every year during this sale. The 7/8 length is my favorite length. I love how they hit me right at the ankle without any extra fabric. They are high waisted and boast supportive mesh that sucks you in, and they have a side pocket for your phone! I wear a small in Zella leggings.

Below you see me in the light pink slub tee in a small, so compare the fit of this one and the blue one to decide which size/fit you prefer.
This full zip hoodie (on the right) is made out of an ultra-cozy fleece, so it’s definitely warm. It’s a very relaxed fit with room to move. I’m wearing a small here, but I would have gone with a medium had I wanted it a bit longer. This definitely doesn’t cover your bootie, but I like the semi-cropped fit.
I really love how the colors go so well with my new On Cloud sneakers!

I own countless pairs of these pajamas in both the short and long version. This year there are 12 solids/patterns to choose from.
Buttery soft and just wonderful to lounge around/sleep in. Plus, you’ll look so cute while lounging/sleeping. 😉 For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. The smalls fit, but I liked the little bit of extra length on the shorts, and I liked the extra roominess in the medium top too.
You can find the long sleeve version with pants HERE and the cropped version with a short sleeve top HERE.
And here’s a punchy red and pink stripe set.
Click HERE to see the set seen below (with long sleeves and shorts) as well as another set with the same stripe, but with a short sleeve top and cropped pants.
Look how DARLING this pajama hoodie and jogger set set is.
You just can’t get any cuter than the navy with the colorful stripes! The material is lightweight, but not too thin, and the fit is easy and cute. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
I know I’m not alone in this, but new bras and undies make me so happy.
These are my favorites that I buy just about every year when they go on sale. They are comfy, the cups are perfectly rounded, and they make me feel great. Both of these bras AND the undies have taken the internet by storm over the last several years. They are ALL ON SALE.

And I think it was just last year that I tried and started wearing True and Co bras too.
If you’re somebody that doesn’t like underwire, these are the bras for you. They feel like a second skin, but they still provide great lift and support. They are great for t-shirts because they don’t show any lines or bulges. I also wear them around the house when I’m just lounging…. when I don’t want to wear a “real” bra, but I also don’t want to be flopping around all over the place. I wear mediums in these bras.
Click HERE for all True and Co bras that are included in the sale.

I love the look of this striped cardi below, but I’m actually not even exactly sure if it’s a structured cardigan that’s a little bit heavy OR if it’s a jacket. As always, I gravitated toward the stripe… but it also comes in navy, ivory, and an olive. The gold hardware dresses it up a bit, and this striped version definitely has nautical vibes. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Yesterday I showed the crewneck cashmere sweater in ivory sand, but I think this rich “brown coffee” is so pretty too. This sweater isn’t fitted, but it’s not slouchy either, it’s just a great fit. It’s soooo soft and lightweight. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. I love the sweater with jeans, but it also looks great with a dressy pant and will be perfect with the Wit and Wisdom pleated pants and the Wit and Wisdom black wide leg pants (both perfect for the office).
And on the right, you see a v-neck sweater in a super similar deep brown. The crewneck is definitely a relaxed fit, and the v-neck hugs the body just a bit closer (but still isn’t tight). It’s a great option for those of you that prefer a v-neck.
For size reference, I’m wearing a medium in both.
Oh! And these loafers? One of my biggest surprises of the sale! I love them! They are so comfy and so dang cute. True to size.

I showed this cardigan to you in grey yesterday, but I wanted to show you in this neutral “ivory sand” too.
This cashmere cardigan is irresistibly soft, simple, classic, and exactly the kind of quality piece I’m looking to add to my closet. It’s basic, but it’s beautiful and will be a staple for me forever. In fact, even though it’s kind of pricey, I’m grabbing both the grey and the ivory sand (and it comes in black too). I’m loving it styled casually here with denim. It somehow manages to be a little bit luxe, but still laid back. And it will of course be great for an office environment as well. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
These crop straight leg jeans are what I’ve been wearing in most of the pics yesterday and today. They are under $75 and suuuuuuuper soft and stretchy. I actually think I want them to be just a tad bit shorter on me so they can show some more ankle with sneakers and flats (I’m 5’4″ with long legs and no torso), so I’m just going to cut them off myself since they have a bit of a frayed hem.

I love pretty much anything in this beautiful camel color, and this gorgeous jacket is no exception. I feel like everybody could use a super chic piece like this in their closet, but if you work in an office environment, than you really need it.
It’s a textured boucle, the structure is fabulous, and the gold buttons really elevate it. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Gosh I love a classic button up. This one also has a bit of a modern vibe with the boxy fit and the drop hem. It’s kinda cropped (as you can see on the Nordstrom site), but it’s still plenty long for me to do a half tuck. It also comes in a red stripe. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

SOME FAVORITE BEAUTY SCORES
These are the only hair ties/scrunchies that don’t give me a headache. Also, they are 100% silk, so they are really gentle on my hair. They do seem to stretch out after a good long while, and I just lose them, so I buy new ones every year to two years.
Slip 10 pack skinny scrunchies
What is this spray? It’s an incredible product that provides incredible volume. It is formulated to absorb oil at the roots without powdery residue and gives my curls staying power.
I of course grabbed the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Duo. This product is a MUST HAVE for me and has been for years, so I’m thrilled to save $65 on it! I mix it with my Colleen Rothschild Face Oil #9 every single morning and every single night, but a little goes along way. This set will last me until next year’s sale! I love that this is only the Magic Cream and a refill, not another nonsense product that I’m getting that I won’t be using.

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’m excited to try the Unseen Sunscreen stick when on the go. (This is last year’s packaging, but the products are the same.)

IN AN EFFORT TO STREAMLINE YOU’RE SHOPPING….
This part of this post is being reposted from yesterday. If this is your first day shopping, I wanted you to be able to see all of my favorites in one spot!
HIGH SELL OUT RISK
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 it sold out in most sizes and colors by the end of day 2.
It’s got the softness of a blardigan, but with lounge set styling. IT’S 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 way too big.
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.
And for the ultimate in luxury… top off your Barefoot Dreams set with a beautiful tonal contrast Barefoot Dreams robe. I’m wearing the XXS/SS in the robe, but I think I would prefer the fit of the S/M.

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. 😉
I FOUND SEVERAL PAIRS OF SHOES THAT I REALLY LOVE THIS YEAR, AND I’M BETTING THESE ARE ALL GOING TO GO FAST.
I wasn’t able to get these yesterday because they were already out of my size in store by 9:30 a.m.! Seriously, these babies are going to fly off the shelf.
I fell in love with Rothy’s last year when I got my camo loafers in the fall, and I’m now a huge believer in the brand. I think these Mary Jane’s are precious AND GOOD HEAVENS they are comfy! They are soft and flexible, and you can throw them in the wash (and then let them air dry). In addition to this leopard, they also come in black, a wine, and even a neutral sparkle that is actually really great in person. True to size for me.
Regularly $159 (and worth every dang penny), but ONLY $89.99 right now. In addition to wearing these with denim, I’ll also be wearing them with black pants.
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, and the back panel has a bit of stretch to it! I got the “pinto brown”. True to size for me.
I guess they were around last year in other colorways because they already have fantastic reviews!
I got this pair of street sneakers to wear with denim. They are going to be great with my ankle jeans and tees, sweatshirt, 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.
These sneakers have my heart. This is the “rosebrown/fog” color combo, and I know I’m going to wear the heck out of them. In addition to loving the color combo (you’ll see in a minute that they go perfectly with a lot of Zella in the sale), 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. True to size for me.
These boots must have been around last year too, because they also have some fabulous reviews! I grabbed the beautiful “golden caramel” shown, but they come in several other suede colors and a black leather as well.
They are soft, flattering to the leg, and I’m going to love wearing them with fall dresses. For size reference, I took my regular size in the regular width.
It’s a really beautiful boot and a really great price point.
This bag is another item that people are going to fall all over themselves to grab.
I actually saw several really great bags today (which I’ll shower later this week), but in the end I chose the large suede tote (on the right). The mini one can be worn crossbody as well.

MY TIP TOP FAVORITE OUTFITS
I took a ton of dressing room pics yesterday and will eventually share all of them, but I decided to start with showing y’all just a handful of them today…. so I’m of course starting with my favorites.
The Zella pieces in the sale this year are fabulous, so I’ll share lots of Zella outfits over the next couple of days… but I wanted to start with this cutie set.
The ultra soft funnel neck sweatshirt lives up to its name and is ULTRA soft. It’s a scuba knit that feels luxe (the lining is incredible), and the funnel neck and drawstring hem are such great style elements. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
The joggers already have great reviews, and I agree with the high ratings. They are super soft, super flattering, and super cute. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

This textured pullover is just my style with a relaxed fit and overexaggerated collar with a half zip. It will be great with jeans too, but it’s a great match with these leggings and makes a perfect little set for running around town or yoga. I’m wearing a medium in the sweatshirt.
These leggings are super soft, but they still have some compression. And I love how the high-waist sucks you in, but it’s still very comfortable. Full disclosure these are the regular length, and they are quite a bit too long on me. If you closely around the ankles, you can see that I have them rolled up a bit. The 7/8 leggings are perfect for me at 5’4″, but these regular length are a great option for you taller ladies. (Even though they aren’t a great length on me, I still grabbed them because they are the perfect match for the pullover.) For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

What’s that? Cashmere on sale? SIGN ME UP! I actually found several great cashmere pieces this year.
I love grabbing a new color of one of these sweaters every year in the sale (I have 3 in my collection), and this year I think I’m going to go neutral with the ivory sand to add a 4th. The color is lovely. This sweater isn’t fitted, but it’s not slouchy either, it’s just a great fit. It’s soooo soft and lightweight. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
I love the sweater with jeans, but it also looks great with a dressy pant and will be perfect with the Wit and Wisdom pleated pants and the Wit and Wisdom black wide leg pants (both perfect for the office).
And on the right, you see a gorgeous cashmere wrap/scarf. I’m wearing the tan/portabella here.

This cashmere cardigan is irresistibly soft, simple, classic, and exactly the kind of quality piece I’m looking to add to my closet. It’s basic, but it’s beautiful and will be a staple for me forever. In fact, even though it’s kind of pricey, I’m grabbing both the grey and the ivory sand (and it comes in black too). I’m loving it styled casually here with denim. It somehow manages to be a little bit luxe, but still laid back. And it will of course be great for an office environment as well. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
These crop straight leg jeans are what you are going to see me wearing in most of today’s pics. They are under $75 and suuuuuuuper soft and stretchy. I actually think I want them to be just a tad bit shorter on me so they can show some more ankle with sneakers and flats (I’m 5’4″ with long legs and no torso), so I’m just going to cut them off myself since they have a bit of a frayed hem.

This roll neck sweater is part cotton and part wool, but it’s not itchy at all. It’s a wonderful basic that most people would have on regular rotation in their closet. The cute little stitching at the neck and the textured cuffs with the rolled hem elevate this sweater a bit. It also comes in black, rust, blue, and a grey stripe. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Y’all loved the long line cardi from last year, and it’s back. It’s longer, thinner, and dressier than a lot of the chunkier cardigans that you often see during the fall. I love it with jeans, but this would also be great for the office.This year it comes in a dark navy, a rust, a light blue, and a cognac (shown below). For size reference, I’m wearing the x-small here, but I need a small.
The must have itty bitty boot cut jeans are still a must have in my book. If you don’t have them yet, I truly don’t know what you’re waiting for. They are the ones that are famous for making you look 5 pounds thinner (at least) and 2 inches taller. They give you legs for dayzzzzzzz. They are so stretchy, so forgiving, and incredibly flattering. Pair them with a heel or chunky booty. 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, they absolutely hold their shape throughout the day.

This floral puff sleeve blouse was one of the things I was most looking forward to trying, and it did not disappoint. The floral pattern and the colors are both gorgeous, and the puff sleeves are the perfect amount puff. I love it worn casually with denim, but it will also be really easy to dress it up. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
