It’s AWESOME!
Hello Everybody!
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
Sit back.
Get a cup of coffee.
Throw an extra shot of espresso in there too. You’re gonna need it.
Not a coffee girl? Get a Big Gulp.
You’re gonna be here for a bit.
But don’t worry.
You have no idea how much fun you are about to have!
Last year you all gave me the feedback that you not only loved the contest aspect of the Score Report (remember one of you is going to win $250 to Nordstrom today!), but you also enjoyed seeing pieces on people other than me…styled differently….and on other body types!
Many of you said that seeing the items on others helped you decide if it was going to look good on you or not.
Hey, whatever I can do to help.
Even if that means sorting through hundreds and hundreds of e-mails. 🙂
And looking at 831 pictures.
What can I say, I’m a giver.
First of all, you girls knocked my socks off with the enthusiasm you had for your Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Scores!
{I know I have a flare for the dramatic and tend to get overly excited about some items, but some of you girls are SERIOUSLY passionate about your finds! YOU ARE MY PEOPLE!}
We should all be besties.
Like we should all meet up at Nordstrom one day, have lunch at the bistro, and shop our faces off. We would have a blast.
We would also stimulate the economy because you girls like to shop. Ha!
Your enthusiasm for items was contagious. You confirmed my feelings about my favorite items, and you got me excited about some things that I hadn’t seen yet in the sale! And it was so good for my heart to read all of your sweet words.
You girls are DARLING.
You are also super sweet.
And let me tell you what else.
You are FUNNY! I laughed out loud on many occasion.
I may have even snorted a time or two. Allegedly.
I so enjoyed getting to connect with all of you a little bit and “getting to know you” a little bit more.
I did my best to divide the entries into categories to make this post as user friendly as possible!
So…we might as well start with the infamous blardigan.
I received the most pictures and e-mails about this item, and I cannot tell you how it tickles me that you girls are just as crazy for your blardigans as I am.
In fact, I think some of you might even be more obsessed than I am, and that’s hard to do,
because I’m pretty much borderline psychotic.
Oh wait..one more thing before we get started.
I really wanted to include every picture that was sent to me in today’s score report. But that just became impossible due to the number of entries I received. However, even if your picture does not show up in a collage, don’t worry….. you did get credit for all pictured entries!
And Ladies.
I need you FOCUSED and CONCENTRATING.
Because it’s the last 3 days of the sale.
#getyourgamefaceon
THE BLARDIGAN
You guys pretty much exploded LOVE all over the blardigan.
And many of you are about to go completely bonkers waiting for the anniversary sale selection to come back in stock, but sadly that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.
So remember, rather than fall into a deep depression, you can always break down and order THIS one (comes in 7 different colors) at full price IF YOU JUST CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
So, let’s take a look at all of you lovelies in your blardigans!
And let’s just pause and talk about the fact that this first group of girls need to be blardigan models.
I mean. Stop it y’all. Quit being so darling in your blardigans. Just stop it.
The next collage contains only 36 of the blardigan entries. I received 74 pics of you ladies in blardigans. SEVENTY FOUR! Oh my goodness!
Look how COZY all of you look!
And what’s more impressive than the number of entries I received? The e-mails with all of you girls positively GUSHING.
Here was one of my favorites:
Hi
Sheaffer!
I got my first blardigan when the sale went live for cardholders. It arrived 5 short days later, and I immediately ordered 5 more for all of the ladies in my family for Christmas
And then yesterday, I ordered another one for myself. The ombre. Just because.
I’m having our 2nd child in November, and I feel like I will need 2.
I even caught my husband asleep under it in his chair the other night. I would send you a picture of my hubby all cuddled up under it if I wasn’t scared he would kill me for doing so. HaHa!
I’m addicted.
Sarah L.
And look at this cute mom and daughter pair who sent in a pic of them stalking the Nordstrom site for more blardigans to come in! See? I told you guys that you were funny!

THE MUST HAVE SHIRT
If you haven’t ordered one for yourself yet, I give you like 10 more minutes to place the order, but if you don’t, then we’re not going to be friends anymore.
I know it’s harsh.
BUT IT’S TOUGH LOVE TIME LADIES.
ORDER THE SHIRT.
Now it might look like nothin’ special, but I’m telling you right now it will become one
of the 3 most worn items in your closet, and you will LOVE it with every
fiber of your being.
Click HERE for the updated MUST HAVE shirt.
$37.90 / After Sale $58
It’s a bit more fitted (which I LOVE!) than last year’s MUST HAVE shirt,
and it has some cute gathering detail up by the shoulders.
It runs big, so size down for sure.
I am only getting black (and not any other colors) because I think all of the other colors will show too many wrinkles. Many of you have asked me about how I launder this shirt.
I do dry clean it often, but I also wash it in a regular load of other clothes on cold. I throw it in the dryer for like 5 minutes and then hang it on a hanger and gently pull out the wrinkles. Easy!
And here it is on you lovely ladies!!!!
Most of you got the black (per my advice, to stay away from wrinkles), but some of you said you loved it so much in black that you couldn’t handle it and went ahead and bought other colors too!
And here are more of you in it!
EVERYBODY loves it.
Seriously, so many great e-mails about this shirt!
I think they are on backorder, but who cares! You will still have it by fall!
Here is one e-mail I received:
Here is my third purchase, the must have shirt in black. I’ve worn it at
least three times since I bought 12 days ago. With green shorts, white
shorts, white jeans, and here w blue jeans for casual day at work. Love
love it!!!!
And another e-mail:
I work in an office environment and I can’t always wear what you highlight, but this shirt is what my office job dreams are made of. I had 2 of the must have shirts last year (you’re right about this year’s being even better), and I bought 3 this year.
It looks great with slacks and with pencil skirts. I also love it under a blazer.
Thanks for the recommendation!

BOOTS & BOOTIES
These booties are the ones I bought for myself.
I cannot believe the value of these boots at UNDER $100!!!!!
These are great and I have NO DOUBT that I will be wearing them all the time.
With everything.
these the best!
Look at you ladies rockin’ these booties!
Next up I have 3 more pairs of boots that were sent to me for the contest.
And I absolutely love them all.
I talked about THESE before, but I fell more in love when I saw them in these two pics. Both brown and black are great.
Click HERE for these quilted back Steve Madden’s.
$133.90 / $199.95
Okay.
So I never saw these online…and I never saw them in store either…and OH MY WORD I LOVE THEM. I was disappointed to not find a true cognac boot this year, and I know many of you were looking for a cognac too, AND HERE THEY ARE!
Click HERE for this good-looking pair from Naturalizer of all people!
$133.90 / After Sale $198.85
Click HERE for these next heeled boots!!!!!
$111.90 / After Sale $159.95
That’s right.
ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN DOLLARS.
Several of the reviews recommend sizing up a 1/2 size.
I think these boots would look great with jeans and a tee…but I think
they would look just as great with a dress! They just seem super
versatile!
Click HERE for the leggings. Click HERE for the zip hem sweater.
Some of you lucky ladies ordered them before they went out of stock!

Before we move on from boots.
If you are in the market for a new boot this year, now is the time to buy.
I know it might feel weird to buy boots when it’s probably over 90 degrees where you live, but you will be absolutely kicking yourself in September when you are paying regular price for the same pair of boots.

**************************************************************
LAYERED TOP
Click HERE for the layered Olivia Moon top that comes in several different color combos, and you can get 2 for $60 (regularly $48 each).
They don’t look like they are in the Anniversary Sale when you look
online, but they were in the anniversary sale tents in the store, so I’m
guessing the prices will go up after the sale.
I loved them with my jeans below, but they would also look great with
shorts and sandals, or dressed up with suit pants and heels!
They are very flattering and hide a multitude of sins! ALWAYS a good thing.
For size reference, I was wearing an x-small, so I suggest you size down unless you are looking for a very generous fit.
Click HERE.
Mine already arrived in the mail, and they were in a soft package and rolled up in little balls.
AND LISTEN. I opened them up and they looked PERFECT. Not a wrinkle in site.
I AM A FAN.
#mamadoesn’tliketoiron
Here are all of you ladies in your layered shirts!

Lots of different color combos to choose from!
For size reference, I was wearing an x-small, so order a size down.
$29.90 / After Sale $48
After my SHOPPING TRIP WITH CANDACE, I received the following blog comment:
staple in my closet. I bought the dusty blue last year, and just
bought the purple/magenta color last week. They wash beautifully (even
better than the must have shirt….you can just hang or dry these and
they don’t wrinkle) and are so, so flattering.
Darcy
Thanks for the input Darcy!

DUSTERS
I don’t own a duster.
As a matter of fact, I’m not even sure I knew what a duster was until recently.
I never even considered owning one until I received these next two pictures.
HOW CUTE ARE THESE LADIES?
Denise (a long time and loyal reader on the right) – Hi Denise!
And I believe the lady’s name on the right is Lindsay!
Don’t Denise and Lindsay look great?
Click HERE for the dusters remaining in the sale.
Click HERE for the solid options (on Denise) with stellar reviews! It comes in charcoal and olive.
$49.90 / After Sale $78
Click HERE for the geometric. Black and white is all sold out, but there is a great brown and teal one with three reviews that are all 5 STAR!

CARDIGANS
More cardigans sent in by you girls…
Click HERE for all cardigans included in the sale. LOTS of great ones still remain!
*****************************************************************************
PLEATED LONG SLEEVE BLOUSE
This next item is a top I highlighted the first day of the sale.
I absolutely LOVED the cut and color if it, but I was afraid it was going to wrinkle like the MUST HAVE shirt does (if not in black).
Well, last week when Calli (a sweet reader that I just “met” while getting Score Report entries from her), sent me this next picture, and I couldn’t believe how much I loved it!
Click HERE for this gorgeous top.
And Calli. You’re going to need to stop it with your darlingness.
Here’s what Calli had to say about the top:
I got close to 20 of
your reccos and this is my absolute favorite. It fits like a glove and
is super comfy.
I e-mailed her back asking if it showed any wrinkles (since we all want like 20 colors of the new MUST HAVE shirt but are all too afraid of the wrinkles), and here is what she said:
it in the dryer for 2 minutes when it arrived and any small
wrinkles/creases were GONE. I have already received multiple compliments
from my co-workers.
I feel like it is the ‘must-have shirt’ business
version!
CALLI! I think you’re right!
This shirt would be great with jeans and boots, but it would be PERFECTION with slacks or a pencil skirt and heels!
And you really need to check out the pleating detail on the back.
So, all of you that love the MUST HAVE shirt and were dying to get it in a color, here you go!
And lucky us, it comes in cream too!
And you know how I roll. If you have an office job, I’m thinking getting both colors wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Click HERE.
$49.90 / After Sale $78
Here I am in the shirt.
LOVE the neckline.
LOVE the pleated detailing.
LOVE.

SWEATER TUNIC
I was so very impressed with these next entries.
SERIOUSLY. BIG TIME. IMPRESSED.
Click HERE for the Caslon tunic.
ONLY $37.90 / After Sale $68
Look how good it looks on everybody!!!!!
I have two of these exact tunics from last year and loved them so much, but they sold out last year, and everybody was all sad faced about it.
But guess what…they re-stocked it! AND put it in the Anniversary Sale.
#thankyoumr.nordstrom
Seriously. EVERYBODY looks great in it!
I absolutely LOVED wearing my black tunic with my grey MUST HAVE leggings and cognac boots. I have smalls in the tunics.
This next picture is my favorite from above.
HOW FLIPPING CUTE IS THIS GIRL?!?
Styled perfectly and mixing black, brown, and grey LIKE A BOSS.
I wear my tunics with both leggings and jeans.
They are great staple piece.
Click HERE for the tunic.
*****************************************************************
LEGGINGS
BUY ‘EM. BUY ‘EM. BUY ‘EM.
NOW. NOW. NOW. NOW. NOW. NOW. NOW. NOW. NOW
Find them HERE.
Which one is my favorite picture above?
Easy. I love how this girl piled tons of layers on with her leggings!!!
Long tank, striped shirt, military vest, fringe scarf, leggings, and boots. Well done headless lady!
If you’re new here, click HERE to read my most-read post EVER. It has a very important message.
And again, if you’re new here, click HERE to see the post where I named these exact leggings a MUST HAVE.
Here is my review:
leggings are a nice OPAQUE black and do not become too thin or sheer
when put on. The material doesn’t sag or bunch, and they hug my body
perfectly without being too tight. The “ultra wide” waistband puts the
leggings into the PERFECT category for me. It hugs my tummy without
being constricting and they are SO comfortable. I am 5’4″, a size 4 in
pants, and the size SMALL was perfect for me. They were a couple of
inches too long, but I plan on only wearing them with boots, so I didn’t
mind just folding them up. (And I think this is a good thing for
taller ladies!)
And if you want a more concise review from me, here you go:
******************************************************************************
MORE TUNICS
If you already have the leggings and the Caslon tunic from last year, maybe you need one with a little extra spunk.
Click HERE for the zip hem tunic, and the zip shoulder tunic! So fun!
*******************************************************************************
COATS
You ladies bought some coats.
Click HERE for all fur hooded anoraks in the sale!
Click HERE for the Michael Kors down jacket lined in leopard!
originally ordered this because I saw someone trying it out on a blog
and I thought it might be a contender in my never ending search for a
cute black down jacket. My search is over.
cut of this jacket is very nice so it’s not as boxy and bulky as most
of the down jackets I’ve tried. It’s actually slimming if you can
believe that down can be slimming. I’m happy I tried it and I can
definitely recommend it. And it’s packable which makes it absolutely
perfect. I’m not sure how warm it will be but and it’s not waterproof
but I’m keeping it.
Click HERE for plaid and solid toggle coats that are all under $60!
Click HERE for all leather jackets.
*****************************************************************
TWEED JACKETS
Love me some tweed.
Love it sooooooo so much.
Click HERE for the pink tweed jacket (only Medium remaining), but it also comes in cream!
For $37.90, I couldn’t pass this jacket up.
Here I am in it, wearing a medium (it’s junior’s sizing)
Click HERE .
And remember I also tried on this navy tweed jacket (that also comes in black).
It has 11/12 5 STAR REVIEWS!
It comes in regular and petite.
$98.90 / After Sale $148
It’s quite a bit more expensive than the jacket above, but it’s for good reason.
This is a much nicer jacket.
Click HERE.
Here I am in the tweed jacket above.
I was wearing a small.
Look how great it looks with the new MUST HAVE SHIRT!
*************************************************************************
PANTS
And THESE are not in the sale, but they are still really well priced!!!!
Click HERE to see both side by side.
Click HERE for the Two by Vince Camuto Skinny Knit Pants.
I’m featuring them because the girl below couldn’t say enough good things about them!
I tried to find her e-mail to highlight it, but I couldn’t locate it. Just know. She LOVES them.
I remember her saying they could be dressed up or down and were oh so comfortable!
*******************************************************************************

Lots of “extra” stuff was purchased by all of us.

If you got the boyfriend jeans, most of you sized down 1 size for a more fitted look.
So, if you decide to get the boyfriend jeans for yourself, keep that in mind!
***********************************************************************************
WATCHES
The Anniversary Sale is a great time to buy a new watch.
Click HERE for all remaining watches included in the sale!
On many of the watches you can save between $75-$100!!!
*****************************************************************************
There are lots of scarves included in the sale that can all be found HERE.
And good news, it looks like the light pink fringy scarf HERE might have been restocked!
Here I am in the scarf. I’m hoping that it’s really back in stock and that it hasn’t appeared back on the site because of a couple of returns…although I have no idea who in the world would return this scarf!
******************************************************************************
Okay.
Wasn’t it fun to see yourselves and others in all of those pictures?!?!
So here’s whats happening here now ladies.
While working on this post on Thursday morning, individual pictures started to crash within the post.
I thought I was going to LOSE MY EVER-LOVIN’ MIND.
Blogger just couldn’t handle the number of pictures in one post.
So, I stopped trying to add additional pictures to this post.
You obviously got lots of pictures today, but there are still more to come!
Specifically, I posted things today that I think might sell out the fastest during this final weekend of the sale.
What I’ll do is publish another short post on Sunday afternoon. In fact, I might do another short one on Saturday too….I’ll just wait and se.
So, make sure you check back throughout the weekend if interested!
Still….
Even though you aren’t going to see all of the entries today, I am going to go ahead and post the winner (since I already have the entries).
Y’all. When all was said and done there were 831 entries.
Yep.
EIGHT HUNDRED AND CHANGE.
HOW FUN AND AMAZING IS THAT?
So, who is the lucky girl?
THIS GIRL!
I’m not going to write her name, because I think I saved it wrong.
But if this is YOU, contact me immediately at pinteresttoldmeto@yahoo.com so I can send you a $250 electronic gift card to Nordstrom! Just in time to use for the end of the sale!
I will check your name against the e-mail address I have to make sure they match up!
(Please contact me by Monday evening at 10:00 p.m., or another winner will be chosen.)
Lucky #26 out of 831.
That’s it for now!
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, THANK YOU LADIES FOR READING THIS BLOG and THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!
And please know that I’m so appreciative of those that took the time the past couple of weeks to enter this contest and send me e-mails!
Mix and Match Mama says
Sheaffer! What sweet readers you have!! I mean, really…they are PRECIOUS!! I love the Score Report! I can't wait to check back again tomorrow!
Tab & Erika says
Loved this!!!! So fun seeing everyone in all their goodies!!
Katie says
I had so much fun reading all of your posts along the way and making my selections. I am still waiting for a few to arrive, but I have loved everything thus far. I love how honest you are about fit, sizing, etc, it makes shopping that much easier. I can't wait for my new must have shirt, that cute quilted sweatshirt, skinny jeans, and blardigan to arrive :)!!
Natalie says
I've been trying my best to save, which is why I waited to see how others loved things to see what I really really really really couldn't say no to, AND IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!! I can't wait to buy some of these goodies today!
Anonymous says
Whoah. That's a lot of pictures to sort through, but you're right, it was so helpful to see other people in the items. I'm definitely getting that pink shirt the cute blonde was wearing. I have a 9 to 5 office job and it should be perfect. I think I will get it in both colors and just hope I love it as much as she does. I'm also going to get a couple of the short sleeve ones. And those black pants at the end. Also perfect for the office. Thank you Schaeffer for taking the time to do this post!
Sheaffer says
Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that I have plans to do more posts this fall dedicated to clothes for the office!
Kathy Olson says
This post was so fun to read! All the girls that sent photos looked so great! I totally forgot to send photos of what I bought. But I bought Kut from the Kloth jeans, 2 must have tops, and the Steve Madden boots. I just love you, Sheaffer! It was so much fun:)
Samantha says
Love this post!!!! Thanks for taking so much time to put it together 🙂
Whitney and Blaire says
I caved and bought the must have shirt in deep purple yesterday. I won't get it until the end of October! Oh well, it will be a surprise when I receive it because of mommy brain! Great post!
xo, Whitney and Blaire

Jane says
I love this! I will say it again – can't wait for Nordstrom to come to Canada!
SarahN says
I think anyone that purchased from this sale is a winner! Thanks for all of your hard work and reccomendations. I agree that we should all plan a weekend and shop together sometime! It would be the ultimate girls weekend!! 🙂
Annie Cox says
I can't wait to buy a few more things after this post. I have a Nordstrom note to use still! Do you know if the pink top the cute blonde had on is something you can wear with leggings? I can't tell how long it is in the pictures. Thanks!
Annie Cox says
Ok ignore my question I posted…I just realized it wasn't a tunic type top but one you would wear with dress pants or jeans. Thanks!
Amanda & Jerrod Carpenter says
I love all the pictures of everyone in their items. I'm sad because I totally forgot to send you my pics! Next year… sigh. 🙂 Thanks for posting!!!
Lisa Rockwell says
Sheaffer, this was so fun!! I have been talking about this to everyone lately, and they might think I'm crazy, but that's ok, ha! I thought I was done ordering, but early this week I went back to the website and ordered a few more things…ahh, I can't stop! I did get some back to school things for my girls and some Christmas presents, so it was all for me…;-) Thanks, again!
Candace says
SO FUN seeing all your people in these pics!! It really does help to see real people with various body types in the clothing options. Calli is precious in that pink shirt. The "headless reader" is ADORABLE in her layers! I would love to copy that look. And I REALLY like those tall Naturlizer boots. The girl in the navy tweed jacket should share her hair care tips. She's a knock-out! I do hope Darcy sleeps better knowing that I heeded her advice about the short-sleeve Pleoine shirt.
Darcy says
YAY! Candace I'm so happy for you!!! You will love, love, LOVE it. 🙂 And keep on being fabulous! I love the story that Sheaffer shared with us about you, your family and HOPE. 🙂
Anonymous says
Candace, you calling me a knockout seriously made my week! You are soooo sweet. I use "it's a 10" hair products and love them! The naturlizer boot picture is mine too and the boots are amazing and sooo comfy!! You are a super hero and I loved reading your shopping post �� ~Amanda

Does anyone know if the Navy/Gray striped Caslon tunic is actually navy? On the Nordstrom website it looks like cobalt-ish, but the description says navy and it looks a little darker on the women who are modeling it in Sheaffer's post. I already bought 3 but this one is also tempting me! I want it to be navy!
http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/caslon-knit-tunic-regular-petite/3767400
Anonymous says
That is the one I ordered and it is most definately not navy,,,it's more of the cobalt blue. I love mine, looks great w/ black leggings and I just ordered a pair of the gray leggings. I sized down too, and am glad I did, it does run large. Hope that helps!

{Hi Sugarplum!} says
Holy moly!!! I'm exhausted…and ready to keep shopping! You have the cutest readers!!
Katie O'Brien says
Ahhh. I am SO sad I didn't get to enter the Score Report. I was studying for the bar exam and didn't get the time to take pictures of all of the 25+ items I purchased from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!!! Everyone looks amazing!
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
The boots, the boots had me salivating! Ohh, hurry up fall and get here. Your readers are darling, just darling!!!
Alison Schluenz says
Hi there! I think you need to change the name of your blog from "Pinterest Told Me To" to "Sheaffer Told Me To" because I keep buying things from Nordstrom because of you Sheaffer. In small town Iowa, we do not have a Nordstrom nearby and seeing the items on people and yourself REALLY helps! I have been reading your blog for a long time now and my first purchase was the original Vigoss skinny jeans that you recommended! Love them and wear them all the time! I saw your score report picture of the blonde girl in the STS army green skinny pants and just on a whim I ordered them! She looks great in them so I knew I had to have them for the #nsale price of $35!!! Keep up the fun! xoxo, Alison Schluenz from Bettendorf, Iowa
Annie Cox says
Hi Alison – I just had to say hi because I am a long time follower of Sheaffer's and live in Coal Valley. We are neighbors! I would also love to have a Nordstrom's in our area. Ha! Until then I will just have to rely on this blog for recommendations from there.
Alison S. says
Hey Annie! So cool to see other Quad Citians on here as well. We totally need a Nordstrom store don't we? Wishful thinking!
Habitual Spender says
Congrats to the winner! My fiancé will happy that I don't need to keep shopping the sale just so I can enter the contest. But I will continue to do so anyway.
This was so fun and I love seeing the recommendations from other people.
Also, you have no idea how HAPPY I am to see both of my pictures I entered up on your blog today!!! 🙂
Danika says
Sheaffer!! Literally minutes after I finished reading this post, I saw on twitter the opening date for the Nordstrom in my city in Canada. Sept 18, 2015. It's going to be an amazing day. Simply and truly amazing! I can't wait to take you shopping 'with me!!'
Darcy says
LOVE this post! Except my wallet will not love it when I get done shopping some more today because after reading this I feel I NEED another pair of leggings (already have the black, am a plus size, was very wary, and am going back for more now after wearing them twice and LOVING them) and another Caslon tunic – because it is MADE for plus size bodies. 🙂 And I love the picture of the girl with the black & gray tunic, black leggings and cognac boots – I was doubting this combo as I pictured it in my head, but now I see that it is fabulousness! Thanks for sharing again – can't wait to check in again this weekend.

Sheaffer!! Thank you for all your hard work and having the contest! You totally ROCK!! It was so much fun seeing some of my pictures on your blog today. The Naturlizer boots are beautiful and so comfy!! I LOVE them �� ~Amanda
barteliz says
What a FUN post! Loved seeing all the beautiful ladies in all their great finds! You are a fabulous and patient woman for putting this altogether! Pretty sure we all just stimulated the economy quite a bit with this sale! Congrats to the winner!
Because Shanna Said So says
This BLOWS my mind….girl, you are famous with one amazing following of so many awesome women. This post made me smile and so proud of what you are doing with your blog! High five! I cannot not even imagine the time it took to put this post together!! WOW!
Suzie says
I LOVED seeing everything that everyone else bought and my sweet kitty boys made it into the collages!!!
I have been stalking the BP booties that I didn't buy at the beginning of the sale and found them today back in my size and color!!!!! I also ordered the pink fringe scarf. For less than $13, how can you go wrong? Love the blog!!!!! Have a great weekend. XOXO Suzie
katk17 says
Three questions:
Do boyfriend jeans need to be fitted or loose?
Do you wear jeans in or out of booties or both?
I have BP leggings but do I need the hue instead? Or the Zella reversible?
And don't forget to tell everyone to get fitted for a bra- remember it may get a high five from the hubs!!!
Can't wait to sneak out of the house to go to SouthPark Nordstom!

Hi there!
*Boyfriend jeans are supposed to be loose..but every time I try them on I end up sizing down because I don't like them too lose.
*I wear my cuffed jeans with my booties, so the cuff rests above the top of the booties!
*I've never tried on the BP or the Zella, but I HIGHLY recommend the Hute Ultra Wide Waistband leggings (the ones I named a MUST HAVE)!
Hope this helps!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂

Love seeing how things look on different body types. I saw the picture of myself in the collage of the "must have shirt" and thought "I look good, it really is a flattering shirt!" so I just went online and ordered another one in a different color 🙂

The only thing I bought from the sale this year was a pair of Keds, but I saved 10$ on them so I'm pretty stoked about it. I just got overwhelmed, but next year I'm going to be more prepared.

Sheaffer, Thanks for all of the work you did on this sale and the score report. I cannot believe I never realized how fantastic this sale really is. My wardrobe had been severely lacking and now I am set to look presentable throughout the seasons aside from probably a few warmer things for the short winters we have here in northern California.
Thank you so much! <3

I am a long time blog reader of yours & have loved reading here because you are so witty. However, I'm starting to feel your blog should be renamed 'Nordstrom told me to.' Please bring back your Pinterest inspired posts!

Hi there! I hear you! 🙂
It has been pretty much 24 hour coverage of the Anniversary Sale, but the sale is over tomorrow, so we will get back to normal life here on the blog on Monday! In fact, I don't think I have anything Nordstrom next week! And the week after that is my birthday week with lots of cool brands along for the ride, and I will only be talking about Nordstrom one day that week too! So, although I will always LOVE Nordstrom and you will continue to see that most of my own wardrobe comes from Nordstrom, we are back to regularly scheduled programming next week, with a classic Pinterest Told Me To recreation on Monday (with items from Piperlime and Accessory Concierge)! I think you'll like it!
xoxo,
Sheafer 🙂

It was really helpful seeing different body types wearing the clothes and the different ways people styled each item. Fun! And thanks for including my son's picture in the blardigan collage! I have a feeling he (or my husband or my daughter) is going to steal it from me for good 🙂

Hey Shea,
Hey Sheaffer! So… I wanted to write you and let you know that I found the MUST HAVE SHIRT at TJMaxx today (2 of them..) for wait for it…….$15 a piece on clearance!!! This one has a jagged hemline instead of the straight one which is absolutely adorable. I was freaking out! lol I grabbed both, and they are just adorable on. Tell your readers to check their as well! I was planning on getting the one you always talk about from Nordstrom, but for that price I picked up two! Score! Have a great weekend! I just love your blog!!–Lauren

I love how excited you are when you get mentioned in the reviews on the Nordstrom website!! I appreciate how hard you work and you have definitely influenced my wardrobe in a positive way. My wallet feels a little differently though. 🙂 I would not have even noticed the Nordstrom anniversary sale was going on if it wasn't for your blog. Because of your blog and your awesome shopping skills, I am now the proud owner of the Naturalizer boots, two pair of Kendra Scott earrings, 2 Olivia Moon tops, 3 must have shirts, 2 pairs of leggings, 2 Caslon tunics, and 1 Caslon blazer. I love it all and I am probably missing a few things from my list. I hope Nordstrom realizes just how much influence you have on SO many people!!
