Nordstrom Anniversary Sale - Review of What I Bought!

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to the public today!! If you've been shopping the sale like I have, you know this year there are so many amazing deals! I am hoping to pick up a few more goodies today as they restock the sale for the public! 

Today I am sharing some of the pieces I picked up during early access. I am still waiting on a few packages to arrive, but hope to update this with pictures when I get them (hopefully a few arrive later today)! You can also follow me on snapchat (ashley_tgs), as I've been sharing some of my picks and sizing info on there! 

Don't forget to check out some of my favorite sale picks here and here! 

Dress // Boots // Bag // Necklace 

Bell Sleeve Dress (Now: $32 // After Sale: $48 ): One of my favorite sale picks! This dress comes in 10 colors and is SO cute on! Wear it with sandals for the summer time or pair it with boots in the colder months! I found it to run slightly large, so ordered an XS. 

Over the Knee Boots (Now: $120 // After Sale: $180 ): These boots are actually from last year, but found these almost identical option on sale! At $120 these are a steal! The black are in my cart!! 

 Tee // Jeans // Shoes

Striped Tee (Now: $16 // After Sale: $24): This tee is SO good! Once I tried it on, I automatically went and put a few more colors in my cart. This is one of those basics that can be worn a million ways and it's so comfortable! This does run large, but I stuck with a small because I wanted that oversized fit! 

Jeans (Now: $59 // After Sale: $88): These are one of my favorite brands! I ordered them immediately and they are one of my favorite purchases from the sale! I did order a size up because I wanted these ones to be a bit baggier. 

Shoes (Now: $43 // After Sale: $65): I wear these with EVERYTHING, and when I saw the even cuter option that are a part of the sale, I almost ordered them! These are so easy to wear and I love pairing them with denim or dresses! 

Tee // Jeans // Boots 

Long Sleeve Tee (Now: $18 // After Sale: $28): Another staple! This is so comfortable and can be styled a million ways! This does run big and I'm slightly wishing I would have gone with an XS, but don't mind the oversized fit of the small! 

Buckle Booties (Now: $100 // After Sale: $150 ): My FAVORITE booties from last year are back and in more colors! These are so comfortable and a fall essential! 

 Top // Jeans // Necklace 

Top (Now: $25 // After Sale: $38 ): I am hoping to see this top restocked in all colors and sizes today, because I definitely want it in a few more colors! It has the most flattering fit and is TTS (wearing a small). The best part though? The laced up back (no worries girls, it doesn't show your bra)!

 Dress // Sweater // Scarf // Boots

Cozy Cardigan (Now: $32 // After Sale: $48):  By far my favorite piece from the sale, this cardigan is amazing! I already ordered it in a few different colors, it's that good! I love a good cardigan, especially when it comes to my work wardrobe. A cozy cardi is perfect for chilly winter days in a cold classroom and can transition some of my warmer weather dresses and tees for the colder months! This one does run large, so I am wearing an XS.

Plaid Scarf (Now: $19 // After Sale: $30 ): This scarf was my favorite last fall! I was so excited to see they brought it back for the sale because it is a fall essential! I wore mine a ton last year (as seen here and here), and found it so easy to style (especially with stripes and cognac accessories)!

 Sweater // Scarf // Tee // Jeans // Boots // Bag (sale style HERE)

Hobo Bag (Now: $197 // After Sale:$295 ): While this exact bag (HERE) isn't on sale, this super similar style is and in SUEDE. Anybody else obsessed with suede for fall?? 

 Sweater // Dress // Scarf // Boots // Bag 

Dress (Now: // After Sale: ): This dress is the PERFECT dress to wear now and layer up later! You can get a better look of it in the picture below! It's coming off more white in these photos but it really is the most interesting light greyish color...it's very hard to even pinpoint what color it is, but I love it! 

Bag: Now this bag is not part of the sale, but it is currently ON sale for $32..confusing I know. This reversible tote is a must have! I am going to pick it up in another color to be my school bag this year! 

 Dress // Necklace // Bag // Sandals

Bag: Now this bag isn't on sale, but you can find a few suede Rebecca Minkoff's in this color on sale now! This color really is even better in person! I have this one in grey and LOVE the size and this one is on my wish list!! 

MY PURCHASES

MY WISH LIST 

Ruffle Romper + #WIWT Linkup

Ruffled Up Off the Shoulder Romper c/o Poshsquare // Pink Saddle Bag c/o Shein, more saddle bag options here // Lace Up Sandals  

I've been on a total off the shoulder kick this summer. It's such a flattering style and perfect for the warm weather. This little cutie from Poshsquare is a summer must have. I LOVE the color and have already worn it dressed up and dressed down! One of my favorite ways I've worn it is pictured above, with lace up sandals and a colorful bag. I've also paired it with converse and a ponytail for a laid back Sunday of running errands. It's comfortable and is a versatile piece to have in your closet and at just $39, it doesn't break the bank!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale - Must Haves!

If you're like me, you've spent a lot of time perusing the Nordstrom site the past few days. With so many great deals for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, it's hard not to! I definitely already have a few favorites including this cardigan (so soft and just $32...a must!) and this fun top (lace up detailing in the back and so flattering). I've picked up some great pieces, especially for back to school (any teachers still go back to school shopping??), but still have so many on my wish list! I've rounded up some of my favorite purchases and current wish list items! Just click the product in the collage below to shop! 

Illesteva Sunnies (Now: $174 //After Sale: $290): These sunnies are fabulous. I have wanted them forever, but they are regularly $290! They are at the top of my wish list! I might end up with them before the sale is over! 

Bell Sleeve Dress (Now: $32 // After Sale: $48): This sweet dress is one of the first things I ordered. It has a very flattering fit and is easy to style now and in to fall and winter. I can just imagine pairing it with boots and leggings for work on chilly winter days! It runs slightly big, so I ordered an XS. 

Suede Booties (Now: $100 // After Sale: $160): I am literally kicking myself for not getting these the first day of the sale! They sold out so fast and are no longer in available in this color in my size (although the black is pretty fabulous). These are a wear with anything boot and I am hoping they will restock when the sale opens to the public! 

Leather Wrap Watch (Now: $117 // After Sale: $195 ): This is currently sitting in my cart along with this watch. I can't decide between the two! I am leaning towards this one because I love the wrapped strap! 

Tassel Crossbody (Now: $30 // After Sale: $45 ): This little crossbody is the perfect color! Style it now and in the fall. Plus, how cute is the tassel?? 

Light Distressed Denim (Now: $59 // After Sale: $88 ): This is my FAVORITE brand of jeans! I own a few pairs and love them, so you better believe I ordered these! They haven't come yet, but I can't wait to start wearing them! 

Cozy Cardigan (Now: $32 // After Sale: $48):  By far my favorite piece from the sale, this cardigan is amazing! I already ordered it in a few different colors, it's that good! I love a good cardigan, especially when it comes to my work wardrobe. A cozy cardi is perfect for chilly winter days in a cold classroom and can transition some of my warmer weather dresses and tees for the colder months! 

Lace Up Flats (Now: $60 // After Sale: $90): I wore my lace up flats SO much last fall and winter. When I saw this color, at this price, I had to have them! They come in 6 different colors and are going quick! 

Plaid Scarf (Now: $19 // After Sale: $30 ): This scarf was my favorite last fall! I was so excited to see they brought it back for the sale because it is a fall essential! I wore mine a ton last year (as seen here and here), and found it so easy to style (especially with stripes and cognac accessories)!

Distressed Denim (Now: $45 // After Sale: $68 ): I have some similar jeans from the sale a few years back and they are still some of my most worn, so I snatched these up! You can't beat the price tag!

Wool Hat (Now: $29 // After Sale: $48 ): Every girl needs a wool hat for the fall! I love the color of this one and can imagine a million different ways to style it!  

Stripe Tee (Now: $18 // After Sale: $28 ): Another great sale piece that I ordered. A stripe long sleeve is a closet staple. This is something I will wear repeatedly! 

Buckle Booties (Now: $100 // After Sale: $150): Another of my fall favorites from last year that they brought back, but in even more colors! I wore these a ton last year, even to work as they are SO comfortable!
