hearty breakfast of egg whites and steel cut oats (just kidding, I had a glass of V8
and a handful of Cheez-Its).
STILL.
No worries.

(Click HERE for all Vigoss jeans available in the sale!)
I’m wearing THESE jeans, THESE booties, THESE earrings, and THIS necklace.
THIS turquoise and gunmetal necklace is definitely my favorite of all the Kendra necklaces offered (5 colors total). And you can find the matching earrings HERE.
This Pleione short sleeve shirt.
It’s soooooo much better than last year’s version!
I think it looks great with jeans, but it could also be worn with nice pants or a skirt for an office environment. It comes in solid colors (including black), but it also comes in a myriad of patterns and colors!

I’m sad to report that THESE leopard flats weren’t that great.
Also, I will try them on next week when I go back to the mall, but I wasn’t in love with the Tory Burch boots. Maybe I’ll change my mind after putting them on!
I know soooo many of you are believers now too!
During Sale Price: $45.90 / After Sale Price: $70
And don’t forget Zella gear!!!!
I got THESE Treasure and Bond grey ankle moto skinny jeans. CUTE!

Jamie Sybert says
So I woke up at 2am to shop and you and I are so on the same wavelength! I snagged the KS glitter studs, the oatmeal striped blardigan (!!!!), the Vigoss jeans, the must-have shirt, a pair of Zella leggings and a North Face parka. I'm tired just thinking about it! Thanks for working so hard on these posts – you are amazing!! PS – #goodlordynordy Best.Thing.Ever.
Amanda says
Already bought three blardis and two KS glitter studs! I couldn't sleep!! Happy shopping! 🙂
Sheaffer says
Jamie and Amanda….YOU ARE MY PEOPLE!!!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Monica B says
Yay, I'm so happy to be the first commenter! I've been stalking your blog since the beginning and have so many of your favorite finds. Thanks for being such a great style blogger! This is my first year as a card holder and holy cow, I'm going to have to work extra but it's soooooo worth it and I'm so excited!
Rachel says
Happy Shopping! As a Tulsa girl, I am thrilled to see Rustic Cuff's offered in the sale! It's so wonderful to see a local business at Nordstrom, be sure to check them out!
Chelsie.Swanson says
Please tell me frye boots will make it past early access!
Sheaffer says
Hi Chelsie! I think I remember that they did last year! Good luck! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Chelsie.Swanson says
I hope that is the case this year 🙂
caitlin says
It's going to be a glitter stud Christmas at my house. I was up at 2:55, snagged some earrings, blardigan, a purse and must have shirts.
Kylie Giancotti says
Of course I'm out of town for this sale, but it worked in my favor given im in a different time zone! Scored lots of goodies for me and the kiddo. Next to take the hubby with me for some serious wardrobe upgrades for him!
Heather says
I can't sleep so I logged on, put some things in my cart, went to check out and found that Nordstrom has erased my saved payment info (must be an anniversary sale thing?) and I can't find my Nordstrom card. Urgh!!! It's 3:45 a.m. – I'm pretty sure my husband will think I'm certifiable if he hears me looking all over for that darn card.
Heather says
Got it!
Kristin Elliott says
Shopping with you!!! Can't wait for my Kate spade glitter studs to arrive!! ??
Kathryn says
Must have shirt, KS glitter studs in gold and multi, Hanky Pankies (I stock up during sales too!), some Yummies (light support underwear that I recently learned about and love), Fryes on hold bc this round was nearly $300! Tell Shay and other fans of the Rose Salve that you can get a set of three for $11! Thanks for all your hard work!
Kathy Olson says
My daughter had her wisdom teeth out yesterday and I just woke up to give her pain meds. Then I remembered you, Sheaffer! And now, here I am in front of the computer at 4 a.m. checking out your post:)
I love the striped blardigan on you! Thanks so much for the post. It's so fun!
Sara Antic says
I grabbed barefoot dreams blankets for $87! Great gifts! I also love the Nest candles and they were bundled- 2 for $25- also another great gift. Of course I got things for myself too- Vigoss jeans, Zella leggings, TB shoes to name a few 🙂 thank you for your blog post- I almost missed the Vigoss jeans!!! Happy Shopping!!!
Erika Slaughter says
Eek!!! Now time to chat! Headed to get my shop on!!
Kristen says
Have been up since 4:15! My cart is overflowing! Heading to NP at 9am (playing hooky from work this morning). Making it a triple point day! As always, your recs are PERFECT! Glitter studs and blardigans for all!!! XXOO
Narci says
I'd marry those buckle booties in a hot moment! Look at how precious they are!! Oh my word! So much fun!!!
Becca Hefley says

SarahN says
The neutral striped blardigan. Be still my beating heart YES!!!!!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh my goodness!!! Where to begin?!?! Eeeeeeeeeeekssssssss!
Erica says
Got a nordstrom card yesterday and my friend and I are headed to the mall after we drop off our kids, can't wait!
Beth says
Sheaffer, what about sizing on the Frye boots? BTW, thanks for adding to the fun of the sale. My daughter is in on the action with me this year.
Sheaffer says
Hi Beth! They are true to size!!!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Erica Ladwig says
Placed my first order for 3 blardigans, the glitter studs and hanky panky's at 5:35 am. On to the next! 🙂
stacey says
Blardigan help! Are they all striped? The heather pearl one is that pretty? Striped?
Sheaffer says
Hi Stacey! Two of them are striped, and two of them are solids! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Liz says
Sheaffer – was the dark striped blardigan navy? It looks grey/black, but the color is listed as "Heathered Navy Stripe". The post is great! Thanks.
Sheaffer says
Hi Liz! Yes, they are navy! Looks great with jeans! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Lizzie Simantz says
I finally listened to the master and got a Nordstrom debit (I can't be trusted with the credit card) – I'm so excited for the blardigan, glitter studs and hanky pankys!! And I just might need those BP booties, they are adorbs!!
laurasyes says
The must have shirt – is it dry clean only ? I have a very messy toddler and try to avoid that it possible . Thanks !
Sheaffer says
Hi Laura! I dry clean mine (but I dry clean a lot of items that don't have to be). I do know readers have told me they wash theirs. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
caitlin says
I wash mine in a garment bag on delicate and hang dry. No problems.
clatk says
I wash mine, but I lay it flat to dry instead of putting it in the dryer.
laurasyes says
Thank you !!
Jessie says
Blardigan Christmas for my people…I ordered all 4 colors! My sis-in-law's birthday is next month, so I picked up the glitter studs for her. Lots of other stuff, too. I saved so much. 😉 Also ordered some of the Whish Body Butter. I've never heard of it, but for $15 ($72 value) I figured it could be worth it. The small bottles not on sale had good reviews.
mnuvgt says
Is the blardigan a true red? It appears more like a deep pink.
Sheaffer says
I would call it a heathered red I guess. It's called "berry" on the site, and I think that's a pretty good description! Hope this helps! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Candace Wall says
Love all your picks! I also purchased the Dolce Vita over the knee boots and I absolutely love them! I have never had over the knee boots so I am super exited to add something new to my closet! Also, the Zella capri's in black with the mesh cutouts are super cute! I love these capris for working out!
Sheaffer says
I'm showing those DV boots tomorrow Candace! They are AWESOME!!!!!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Darcey says
It's the most wonderful time of the yearrrr!!
April Parrish says
Just scored 2 blardigans- 1 oatmeal stripe and 1 navy stripe and 3 pairs of the multi-glitter earrings!!!! Perfect Christmas presents what I don't keep for myself…LOL!!!
Thanks for all your hard work Sheaffer!!!!!
Angela says
LOVE the items here! Thank you for showing them!!! Signing up to be a cardmember ASAP! Also, you most definitely deserve tacos today! 🙂
Mother Henn says
Somebody find a good marriage counselor…..my husband might divorce me over this sale!!!
Anonymous says
Those Natori bras are THE best! I got one a while back, it was priced matched.
Anonymous says
Won't be taking pictures in a dressing room as the closest Nordy's to me is over 2 hours away! Boo! But I have 3 blardigans in my cart (for gifts!)…I hesitated last year and they were GONE….need one for my mom, sister, and daughter for Christmas this year!!! And some hanky panky's for me so far.
Thanks for guiding us through this Sheaffer!
Jan Fisher
Sabrina says
Those BP booties!!! Ordering them now!!
clatk says
I am SO SAD my new Nordy's card didn't make it to me on time :(! Please let it come today!!!
Katie {The Mishaps & Mayhem of a Solitary Life} says
Did you sign up online…they might have sent you an email with your card number! So you can still take advantage.
Jamie Sybert says
The card should be preloaded in your online account. If you go to the store, they can look up the number for you – they did for my BFF. Good luck!
Lindsay D. says
Love the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!! I've been obsessed for years and I feel like I have a friend in you who also loves it!! 🙂 I don't have a Nordstrom card because my husband is a banker and won't let me. Boo!! The last couple of years I've bought the Caslon tunic…did you see any this year? Thanks for your post and I wrote down lots of item numbers for next week when I can order!
One more question…what color of polish do you have on in the photos??
Amanda Brezgel says
You should still be able to access the sale even though you don't have the physical card yet. Mine was pre-loaded on the Nordstrom website before I even got my card. You have to login though on the website to access the pre-sale.
Kait Oglesby says
I followed the Pinterest Told Me To game plan this morning (3AM was brutal, but so worth it!) for sure- KS glitter studs, striped blardigan, a new must have shirt (to add to my collection of 7!), Wit and Wisdom jeans, a shirt for my man, a Natori bra, a CAPE (I was really excited about that one), and 2 Kendra Scott necklaces, one of which was the Dylan, which I have been lusting after for months. Thank you Sheaffer!
MadCity says
Ok, 3 shopping carts, 9 blardigans, glitter earrings, 1 black must-have shirt, 2 Pleione short sleeve shirts, the turquoise necklace (it does go with everything) and a groaning husband. I should probably stop shopping for now but I'll be watching on FB for other deals! Thanks for helping me get my xmas shopping done early!
Rachel Werts says
I'm due with baby #2 in the beginning of September and i'm thinking I might have to purchase a blardigan for myself.
Anna H. says
I got a blardigan when I was in my last trimester of pregnancy. Best thing EVER. 🙂
Anonymous says
Traveling to Italy in a few months & just got my entire travel wardrobe from your post today. Plus, a few other goodies. Thanks for your suggestions!!
vanillafrog says
Wow, y'all are shopping machines! I got the debit card just for the sale, got the multi glitter Kate Spade studs and an awesome scarf. I'll check it out again next week after vacation and pay day! Happy shopping!
Katie {The Mishaps & Mayhem of a Solitary Life} says
Ummmm…yea….so I just placed an order for almost $500 bucks….blardigans for everybody!! Whoop! Whoop!!
Amy Dalon says
I got to the store at 8am and bought a Kendra Scott necklace, a North Face jacket, zella live in leggings, aqua Kate Spade earrings, a pair of hanky pankies to add to the collection, and the gray top with the super fun back! I might have done a little dance in my kitchen when I got home and pulled all of my purchases out of my bag. 🙂
Kristin says
I wish I had a card for this because I want those Kate spade glitter studs!!!
Anonymous says
I already have the kare spade studs in gold glitter….but I NEED the new colors!! Would you be able/wiling to feature some anniversary plus size items?? Thanks!!! 🙂
Becca D. says
Hi Sheaffer! I'm a newbie at this… I actually just got a Nordstrom debit card about 2 months ago, so I'm pretty pleased with my perfect timing! My maybe dumb question is, are all the sale items available for the early access prices in store, as well as online? I'm thinking of running up there after work and trying a few things on — thanks so much!!
Sheaffer says
Hi Becca! The stores don't have everything (and different stores have different merchandise), and some stuff is only available online, but yes….the sale is definitely going on in the store as well! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Laura says
Welp, I can never bring myself to Christmas shop in July (I'm one of those people who knocks it all out Black Friday), but I was all too happy to treat myself to the burgundy BP booties, black UGG booties (I bought them in tan last year and they are seriously indestructible), the Kate Spade studs and a Kendra Scott necklace. My total for all that was $270!!!! I already have two blardigans from the past two years 🙂
V @ X-tremely V says
Eek! Just ordered my first blardigan! Can't wait for it to arrive! Scored some great jackets for my little guy, and a clarisonic for the hubby too! 🙂
Anonymous says
I am officially not happy with you. I just started reading your blog and now you've just made me apply for a Nordstrom card so I can pick up some things just in case they sell out. That I wouldn't have even noticed except for you pointing them out. Ha ha! I'm a true shopaholic… blaming someone else for my addiction .:)
Allison O says
Hi Sheaffer- what color are the booties you are holding up in the photo? I like the gray look in your pics but I cant tell if Taupe or Chocolate are the right color! Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hi Allison! Chocolate!!!! Xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Allison O says
Thanks!
Sandi Ferguson says
Hi Sheaffer, Thanks for posting the sizes you are wearing. It is so helpful! Do you mind sharing how tall you are?
Sheaffer says
Hi Sandi! I'm ALMOST 5'4"! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Nikki says
Okay…I've started down the slippery slope and became a Norsdtrom debit card holder this morning. Bought blardigan said for my mom and sister for Christmas (but may have to give them earlier as my moms birthday was yesterday and my sister's is later this month). Also got the glitter earrings and two sets of candles for my gift closet.
Amanda Brezgel says
Shaeffer- I wasn't planning to buy the glitter studs, but the pink were to die for! Bought two blardigans and Zella capris too! Can't wait for you to post more!
kristinwithani says
I entered the store at 8am with your post pulled up on my phone and the catalog in hand. I didn't have an appointment but grabbed an associate to walk around with me and she was great. Started with glitter studs (go order more for Christmas gifts?!?!?!), then blardigan (intended on a neutral but left with cranberry), then hanky panky (two associates talked me in to trying but I got the ones with the wide sides), then Zella but the only ones on sale are the "slim fit" and I'm so not in to those and I'm a Zella-aholic, then over to POV where I found the must-have-blouse (returning because at home it wasn't as cute) and the Halogen T Shay recommended and I already have but returning that too since it looked funny at home and my favorite new drapey neck "sweatshirt" by Caslon (maybe?). Whew, you are a good/bad influence Sheaffer! Oh, I got some super cute polka dot PJ bottoms. I think they will be "house pants" in the winter.
hannah friend says
I pray the blardigan will still be there July 17th! I NEED one
ebk248 says
Hi Sheaffer! Eeeeeks! I am having a blast shopping the Nordies sale!!
Okay, so you mentioned the Pleione tunic is strangely long — are you able to post a pic of how long it is? Would be great to see before ordering. Love last years version!
The Kate Spade glitter studs — are they heavy? (I have the regular square studs in fluorescent pink and green and are very light). I just can't do heavy earrings.
Thanks!!!
Sheaffer says
Hi there! I don't like heavy earrings either, and these don't bother me at all!!!! And I came home and ordered a petite in the shirt, so I will post pics of it once I have it! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Anonymous says
I bought them earlier this year and they felt soooo heavy to me. I dont like the heavy feel either and I couldn't handle them.
Darci says
I love the wash of the Vitgoss jeans in your photos, but the link looks like a lighter pair. Do you know if it's the same wash you are wearing in your photos?
Sheaffer says
Hi Darci! I think it's just the light messing with the color! They are the same jeans! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Trinh says
Hi Sheaffer, can you do a review with photos of capes? I see so many styles on the Anniversary Sale and not sure which one looks good or how to style. I am only 5'1'' not sure if it will even look good on me. Thanks I finally bought the blardigan and the glitter studs! I can't wait 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi Trish! I will do my best to try on some capes when I go to Northpark on Tuesday! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Holly says
Immediately this morning I ordered 2 blardigans, the multi glitter earrings, Zella capris, Clinique makeup remover set, and Bella Vita Ronan booties. Those were the things I knew for sure I wanted. Now I can go back and look through everything to see what else I need. Thanks for all the suggestions. Last year I got blardigans for me, my mom and my aunt and we all love them but I'm not sure I would have even noticed them if you hadn't pointed them out.
Lisa B says
Sheaffer I also have a question about the BP booties. Online it says they run 1/2 size small. Did you find that?
Sheaffer says
Hi Lisa! I'm not sure. I'm wearing a 7 in the pictures (they didn't have a 6 1/2 which is my true size), but the 7s seemed big….so I thought that a 6 1/2 would be perfect on me. I think they are true to size?!? xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
melissanorton says
What color are you wearing? Chocolate brown?
Gina Choi says
Girl, you are going to get me in trouble! I'm getting the blardigan, KS earrings, and gray booties. I'm going to have to look at the Zella wear and layered sweater tops too! Love it! Happy Shopping!
Sabrina says
Ok, now that I've shopped–here's an update 🙂 I ordered 2 blardigans, 2 Kendra Scott Dylan necklaces (been wanting one since you posted about them), the BP booties in black (and considering the chocolate ones too), and I think that's it for now. For some reason, adding things to my cart doesn't even phase me right now lol. This sale is AWESOME!!
Kristen says
I need to step away from the computer! 3 hours at NP this morning, several more this afternoon! Made it a triple point day so feel I need to order EVERYTHING! Yikes! The Zella Flirt Ruffle Back Jacket is so cute and flattering (order one size up)! Feel I need to go back online for more blardigans and glitter studs! 🙂 Thank you as always!!!
Kristen says
Spent so much money on everything but my favorite find was the N-Tessa Drusy Tassel Pendant Necklace by Sonya Renee. I bought it at the store in white this morning but once I got it home I loved it even more and ordered the gold online. It's so delicate and pretty and a great alternative to those wanting something a little smaller than Kendra Scott! Got the earrings too!!!
Emily Morris says
I've been wanting to try Hanky Panky's for years now. I just went to order and it says "fits women size 4-14". I'm a size 0 so should I expect them to be falling off me? I was going to order 4 for $54 but am hesitant if they're not going to fit right.
Anonymous says
ORDER ORDER ORDER! You will not be dissapointed! Im narrow hipped too- 35" at fullest, and these do not fall off. i repeat- NO BAGGAGE! It is so bizzare, right? LIke, how do they do that? I wondered the same thing, but went for the low rise thong in a 5 pack last year, and they are the best things ever. You will love. I totally reccomend the low rise. Havent tried other rises or styles, but I like to wear my clothes lower on the top of my hip vs. up on my waist, so it wasnt even a question for me to buy the low rise. Thank you hanky panky for figuring out how to do this crazy one size thing!! 🙂
Kathryn Katz says
Oh my.. I just bought 3 blardigans (2 for gifts), the Frye boots (heaven help me in justifying this purchase), the Vigross jeans, the darling fun in the back sweater, the navy half sweater, Northface pull over and the BP booties. I've slaved for the last week putting in our landscaping – so I could use my 'savings' to buy this week. I have callouses all over my hands and I can hardly walk – but I will look darling this fall. I have the gray jeans in my shopping cart and its on to round 2!!
Traci Childs says
Could you please help me locate the Kendra Scott necklace you are wearing in the post? It looks like yours is gunmetal/ turquoise and I can only find silver/ turquoise online. Thanks in advance! Traci
Sheaffer says
Hi Traci! It looks like it's back online now..but backordered! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
HeatherBakes says
LOVE Sonya Renee and so excited that Nordstrom is carrying it now. You know the creator is a Lake Highlands mom, right? Anyway thank you so much for all of your posts! Snagged a striped blardigan & glitter studs at Northpark yesterday & hoping to make it back there this weekend!
Christina Brunk says
Love your suggestions! The Pleione shirts that you rave about…do they run true to size?
Sheaffer says
Hi Christina! I would size down a size. I'm wearing an x-small! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Sarah says
Hi Sheaffer,
I LOVE your blog. I am dressed so much better because of you! I ordered my first blardigan this year and I have one question. I saw on the Nordstrom site that one customer left a review saying that it had lots it's softness after washing. Do you have any helpful hints for keeping it cozy and soft?
Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hi Sarah! Mine never lost softness! I wash mine and then dry it for around 10 minutes, and then I pull it out and let it air dry the rest of the way. Hope this helps! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
