Since the sale is so big, I didn’t want to try to cram all of my picks into one post. Â No, thanks. Â Here are the jackets, skirts, tops, and most importantly, dresses, that filled my cart. Â Because if you can’t find a good dress at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, all is lost.
Suiting. Â Every year, the Sale has one amazing BOSS business suit, and this year is no exception. Â I love the tone-on-tone accent on this navy suit. Â It’s cool. Â It’s modern. Â It’s not too much. Â Love it.
Blazers. Â How cool is this Halogen blouson sleeve jacket? Â It would be so fun with distressed jeans or an ivory, wide leg trouser. Â Another fantastic choice is this CeCe white-and-black ribbon trim jacket. Â Such a classic.
Blouses. This year’s selection of tops was really something. Â A lot of lovely pieces, most of them priced under-$100. Â Awesome.
The tops that caught my attention include this great Vince Camuto bracelet sleeve top, which I plan to buy in three colors and wear under all of my crewneck sweaters. Â I also loved this BOSS cowl neck blouse, this Trouve asymmetric blouse, and this twist front Gibson top (just $39!).
Dresses. Â Every year, I find one dress at the sale that I ends up being a wardrobe staple. Â This Eliza J Ruffle Sheath Dress is it. Â The ruffle is so subtle, but with a little flair. Â It’s going to look great under that CeCe tweed jacket above.
Other lovely dresses in the sale include this smocked Chelsea 28 teal midi dress and this wear now/wear later sleeveless Nic + Zoe dress. Â But if I could only pick one dress from the sale, and money was no object, this $298 Lafayette 148 shirtdress would be the one to have.
Plus-size? Â I love this cobalt crepe cocktail dress from Vince Camuto.
Bottoms. Â This plaid stripe Halogen pencil skirt is a fun piece. Â It has a vintage vibe to it. Â I’d wear it with a blouson sleeve ivory sweater in the winter and high-heeled ankle boots.
Another great skirt on offer is the seamed Halogen pencil skirt. Â I own it in four colors. Â This year, the Anniversary Sale has this wardrobe staple (petite and misses) in camel or black for $45.
As for pants, these Vince Camuto skinny, ankle pants seem to have a sleek cut to them. Â These CeCe ponte bootleg pants could also be a workplace lifesaver.
And on order for denim, I found these medium wash AG Farrah jeans (my favorite) too hard to resist. Â If you’re tired of skinny jeans, these bootcut Kut from Kloth jeans are just $60.
On that red jacket – is it a piece that is a staple wardrobe piece, or is it trendy? I try to spend my limited money on pieces that will last a few seasons, but LOVE that jacket. Thoughts?
I think it’s a bit trendy, but if you love it, I think you’ll always find a way to wear it. I own a pale blue jacket with a puff sleeve. IT was totally trendy, but I still wear it with navy separates because it’s awesome.
reply to Emily-
I think you could rock that jacket for at least a couple of years! It’s still a pretty versatile cut so it doesn’t look too trendy.
I think there’s enough length in the volume at the bottom of the sleeve that it could be tailored to a more standard sleeve once you’re over the trend.
There is.
Wow you must have a fat fat ass to recommend the AGs. Those large pockets are only meant for those with the fattest of asses.
So cute. Really, the best. You’re clearly a wonderful person. Please, feel free to come back and comment anytime.
