The biggest sale of the year is here! It’s time to shop for your Fall wardrobe! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale features products from the most loved Nordy brands at deeply discounted prices. Things tend to sell out fast in some of these early shopping periods, so definitely order anything you love before it’s gone! Here’s the scoop on when you can shop:
Below I’m sharing my early top picks. I was looking for versatile items I could use for both work & weekend. Keep checking back in as I’ll be trying on more, and checking out beauty and jewelry items too!
If you have the LikeToKnow app, I’ll also be posting individual pics & faves there too. The app allows you to follow your favorite style and home bloggers and shop their Instagram posts easily. You can even screenshot any post from Instagram and the app will quicky give you shoppable links to any items featured. Download the app here, and then just follow me on that app to see my posts.
For reference, I’m generally a size 14, and wear Large to X Large depending on the item (I love tees looser, for example, so usually get XL).
1.State Ruched Sleeve Plaid Blazer
I love a good structured blazer or coat, especially with jeans and some kickass boots. This one hit all the sweet spots. Good structure, flattering, and you can dress up for work or dress down for a perfect Fall outing with friends. TTS. This Kenneth Cole coat is beautiful too and very similar, just pricier and a bit heavier (more of a coat instead of a blazer).
Madewell Ryder Stripe Cardigan
For me, the Nordstrom sale is largely about cardigans, because that’s what I live in most of the year. This cardi is almost identical to the Kent one that I own in other colors. I love this color block version. While I usually buy a Large in cardigans, I bought this one in Medium. My rec would be to go down a size.
Chelsea28 Cardigan
I loved this one for how lightweight it was (so good for us Texans), and for the big buttons. Oddly enough, I sized waaaayyy down. This is an XS/Small and it still hung loose & comfy. Loved the neutral color too, also available in Black. Size down at least a size, maybe two. A steal for $39.
Something Navy Leopard V-Neck Cardigan
This is my favorite cardigan of the sale. I adore the look and it’s super cozy. I also sized down and bought a medium. It was perfect. This one only had a couple sizes left, it had mostly sold out. I predict this one will be one of the super hot items, so don’t hesitate.
BP Long Leopard Jacquard Cardigan
I love the leopard pattern, super soft feel, and the long line look of the sweater. This is one of those sweaters I’m seeing everywhere on Instagram already. TTS but would mention that this may not be a good option for those on the short side. The cardi is pretty long. There is also this option (more lightweight), which I ended up ordering.
J.Crew Leopard Bomber Sweater
Obviously leopard is everywhere in this Sale, but I thought this was a great silhouette to try. I ordered my size and cannot wait to get this. It’s a great style up/down kind of piece.
BP Raw Edge Long Sleeve Pocket Tee
These are my favorite tees everrrr. I own (not exxagerating) ten of these (mostly short sleeve, mostly black) because I wear them like a uniform. I love them oversized and just so bummed they didn’t have them in short sleeve this year. So obviously I picked up a l/s black and will probably order a couple more before the sale is over! TTS or size up for an oversized look that’s easy to french tuck.
Caslon Rounded Neck Tee
Along with the Raw Edge BP tee mentioned above, this is another fave. I stocked up with a couple of these. TTS.
Other Clothes Items
Treasure & Bond Fern Snakeskin Boots
I usually stock up on boots during the Sale, but this year I didn’t think I would haul any because I have so many still in rotation. But then I saw these beauties! Love the lower heel and the snakeskin. To me, this is a really nice way to add some sophistication and elegance to an outfit. TTS.
Halogen Ivie Sneakers
I love these!!! The look! The feel! So comfy! Goes with anything as it’s practically a neutral. TTS.
Cole Haan GrandPro Sneakers
The blush and rose gold combo is a beauty in these sneakers. Again, the light color makes it a neutral that’s super versatile to wear. TTS.
Steve Madden Studded Feather Loafer
My favorite shoe pick of the Sale. These Steve Madden flats are so comfy and so darn stylish. The studs add an extra level of sophistication to these weekend or work-wear flats. I could really go for every color they have.
Other Shoes
Selena Clutches
I love and use clutches often. I use them most when I go out with friends to happy hour, or to dinner. It’s an extra level of chic and these two are beauties. They also have a chain you can use if you want to wear as a crossbody.

Tory Burch Handbags
Tory Burch fans will be happy with this year’s selection of both bags & shoes. These are some of the bags up for grabs. I particularly love the crossbody because it’s so functional
SHOP IT: CROSSBODY | FLAP SADDLE BAG | TOTE
Clare V Snakeskin Embossed Crossbody
One of the hot items of the Sale. A store associate said they sold out of it in 40 minutes on the first day of pre-shop. I had to order mine, but so excited that it’s on its way. Love the snake skin and the thick strap. No doubt this will sell out online too.
