I shopped the nordstrom anniversary sale in store yesterday and tried on HUNDREDS of items, and wanted to share my faves from the fitting room with y’all today! I’m not gonna lie – the sale this year actually really impressed me. There are SO many great denim options, the activewear is killer, and the beauty deals this year should not be missed.
I tried clothes on for about 5 hours and then lost steam lol so today I’m sharing the best from the fitting room yesterday, but I had to order a bunch of stuff from my wishlist, so I’ll be doing a part 2 try on once that stuff comes in!
Denim
PIN IT
I tried on SO many jeans yesterday and these were the jeans I really loved and honestly wanted to bring home every single pair (don’t worry, I didn’t)!
Out of all the jeans I tried on, the Mother hustler jeans are probably my top pick. They are almost $100 off during the sale! High waisted, dark wash, stretchy, so flattering, and make your legs look so long! I know the Paige Anessa jeans (below) are always the viral nsale top pick but IMO…I think the Mother jeans are even better! Both are great though and you really can’t go wrong!

The mother kick it jeans are included in the sale and are such a classic, straight let pair of jeans you will have for years to come. I suggest going down a size

I tried on these Levis and LOVED them - especially for under $100! I needed to order my size because my store didn't have them in stock but these are an amazing, classic pair of jeans for a super reasonable price. If you're in between sizes, go down a size.

These pistola jeans are SO fun, they fit so well, and are an easy way to elevate any denim outfit! I love the barrel leg fit but the barrel is super subtle and IMO flattering on any body type!

Tops, Sweaters & Jackets
I purchase a version of this cardigan (seen above) almost every year! Love that you can wear it as a top. Super versatile + cute with denim or layered over skirts and dresses.

Can't go wrong with a classic denim jacket. This one is perfectly oversized and so cute layered over athleisure!

Usually the anniversary sale has tons of sweaters and maybe my store just didn’t have a ton in stock…but I really only found 2-3 i really liked!
This free people sweater is one of them! I love the roll neck, oversized fit, and it comes in a few colors!

I also thought this ruffle trim treasure & bond sweater was so classy and such a good price during the sale!

I was also SHOCKED at how much I loved this cashmere hoodie! It went with SO many outfits (like the legging look below) and is cute on it's own AND underneath a denim or leather jacket! I got my normal size in this.

This rag & bone sweater wasn't originally on my wishlist but I saw it in the store, tried it on, and instantly fell in love. It's super soft, the fit is perfect, and I think it's such a classic sweater you can dress up or down, and will have for years to come. I got my normal size in this!

This jacket is a splurge but OMG it is so stunning. I love the cinched waist and the bomber silhouette. Such a stunning coat that you can style for years to come.

The perfect plaid shirt for fall. Not too hot, super soft and relaxed, and a great layering piece.

Most of the shoes from my wishlist I need to order but I did find a few in store that I loved!

I did not have these hunter puffer slipper on my wishlist but the nordstrom stylist brought them in my fitting room and i fell in LOVE from the moment I tried them on. Surprisingly they went with SO many outfits - from denim to leggings to sweatpants. They literally feel like MOON boots and are insanely comfortable! They are kind of a mix between a slipper and a boot and IMO you could wear them both in and out of the house.

These vince sneakers were another one I didn’t have on my wishlist originally but I was looking for a classy sneaker that could go with everything from jeans to sweatpants and these were IT. They are SO comfortable and the quality is amazing so they’ll truly last you for years to come!

These dolce vita flats are so classic, under $100 during the sale, and went with SO many outfits! They come in tons of colors and I know will be worn on repeat this fall.

Activewear / Athleisure
Like I mentioned above, the athleisure / activewear this year on the sale is SO good. I got a few things in store but ordered a few more things I can’t wait to share with y’all!
Ya’ll know how much I love Varley! This pullover is so buttery soft, and the walnut brown stripes are so pretty for fall! Love that you can dress it down with comfy shorts, or style it with denim.

The perfect everyday mom life shorts! Super stretchy around the waist, and flattering, longer length. I love this khaki color for your summer to fall wardrobe!

I was SO shocked to see this Polo Ralph Lauren sweat set included in the sale! I actually bought this set from shopbop a few years ago, full price, and it has lasted me for YEARS and is one of my favorite sweat sets I've ever purchased! Sweats, but elevated, and so classic. FYI I do think the pants run a litte small so maybe size up if in between sizes.

I was also pleasantly surprised to see so much vuori included in the anniversary sale this year!
PIN IT
My love for Vuori runs deep and I just couldn't leave without this cropped tank. The red is so pretty and at over 20% off it was a no brainer.

Already own these shorts in other colors, but getting this on sale is too good to turn down! Also come in black.

These leggings are absolute MAGIC – I have them in 3 colors and paid full price for every single one of them. They are sculpting, high waisted, moisture wicking, and don’t slide down. I was shocked to see them included in the sale!

I buy a pair of these nordstrom pajamas every year during the sale - and this year they come in the BEST colors! They are under $40 during the sale, super breathable, and also make for a great gift!

One of my fave purchases yesterday was actually this nordstrom ROBE!! It's a cotton terry material so you can wear it year round, but it still feels SO plush. And under $80!! Also comes in white + shorter versions if that's more your vibe.

This set is one of my favorite activewear finds from the sale! Obsessed with this layered style lately. Super high quality material for such an insane deal.

These leggings are great for working out or everyday. I can already see myself wearing these this fall with an oversized sweatshirt! The prettiest olive green.

Ya'll know how much I love a cozy but put together athleisure look and this one exceeded all of my expectations. These pants are a DREAM and feel so lux, for only $50.

You can never have too many classic, well-fitting tank tops. I thought this blue was so pretty!
shop now
This sweater isn't ~~exactly~~ athleisure but that's honestly why I loved it so much. Super soft and can be styled in so many ways. Madewell sweaters can do no wrong, IMO.
shop nowStay tuned for part 2
I placed an order this morning for the products on my wishlist that my store didn’t have in stock, so I’ll be sharing a round 2 sometime later this week! Thanks so much for following along! I love shopping + sharing this sale with you guys so much and hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have!
