Happy Monday everyone! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of my favorite sales a year to shop. I know that a lot of items sell out fast, but that’s also because everything is such a great deal. I always tend to stock up on new basics that I need, a pair of new boots, high quality denim, and then add a few new sweaters into rotation. A lot of items I have purchased from previous years are still in great condition and still in style since I purchase simple timeless pieces. I know it can be sad when items sell out before you have access to shop. However, if you keep your eye out there end up being a lot of returns, or Nordstrom may saving items to re-stock. I highly recommend shopping the sale and if you want to sign up for a Nordy card, then DO IT…because then you can have early access to shop. I don’t suggest this to purchase a ton of items and go into credit card debt, anyone without the card cannot shop until August 19th and many items will already be gone. If you get the credit card in order to shop, then I still suggest making yourself a budget where you can pay off what you purchase the following month, or two so you pay none, or very little interest. You also will get a $60 Nordstrom note if you sign up before August 18th.
I was going to drive up to Jacksonville to see my best friend Sasha, and shop the sale in person. However, the store didn’t really get much in, so I decided to just shop online. It does mean that I won’t get to do any try-ons with new items until they arrive later on, but here are some great pieces from last year that I found again during the sale. Either the exact pieces are available AGAIN, or there is something SUPER similar available. I wanted to share 6 fall outfits you can easily re-create and show you how easy it can be to shop your own wardrobe with the right basics. I’m hoping some of these pieces will last me 3 years in a row.

Sizing: I am wearing a 7.5 and I normally wear a 7-7.5 in shoes.

STEVE MADDEN KAYLAH POINTED TOE BOOTIE

The main thing I didn’t purchase last year, or the year before were some pretty oversized pullover sweaters. I seem to only have a ton of cardigans, so I’m adding sweaters to my collection this year. What are you shopping for this Nordstrom Anniversary sale?
