I was debating making a post at all, but obviously I made this one and the main reason why is to rationalize my own purchases. I don’t have a Nordstrom card so I have been waiting for today for a few weeks. A lot of what I thought I wanted is sold out by now but that’s okay! I really don’t know if I’m actually going to buy anything, but I guess well find out! On this blog, you’ll find my own ramblings about the sale and how I classify things I want to buy: ‘things that have a high ROI’, ‘things that could potentially be worth it’ and ‘please girl, only when pigs fly’. Check it out below!
The Most Worth It Purchases To Me: These are things that I think would be a great investment and I could get a lot of use out of. I’m also entering a time in my life where I try to focus on quality.
- Zella Leggings: My friend Autumn swears by these! My current black leggings have so many holes in them
- Madewell High Waisted Button Front Jeans: If I walk away with anything during this sale, it has to be a high quality jeans. I feel like it’s a part of growing up.
- Hunter Boots: I have a red pair that I love but sometimes that bright color can be a little much.
- NARS Lipgloss: I love NARS Lip Pencil and $39 for all 4 of these glosses is a great deal!
- Black Coat: I think this is another great basic that I could really benefit from in the fall and winter. It would go with a lot and I don’t have a black coat like it.
Potentially Worth The Splurge: These would be classified more as ‘treat yo self but because you deserve it’ purchases.
- Barefoot Dreams Cardigan: I’ve heard amazing things about these sweaters and I think a soft, open black cardigan like this would have a high ROI, especially for work.
- Spanx Leggings: In high school, I used to have a hair of leather leggings that I would where and my friends and I would call it ‘Heathen Wednesday’. Not totally sure why, but I always think of that when I see these leggings. I hope a pair like this would look good on my bigger legs, which is why these are in my ‘maybe’ category.
- Faux Leather Drape Jacket: This just looks so chic and sophisticated and I would love to wear it out for happy hour.
- Red Twill Pants: I especially like the red version of these pants and feel like I could get a lot of use out of them at work. Plus they look super flattering.
- Quilted Vest: I have a J.Crew herringbone vest I wear literally all the time in the fall, so with this plain black one, I fell like I could give my other vest a rest and switch it up a bit.
- Polka Dot Midi Skirt: I’m on a huge midi skirt kick right now and I love that this is polka dotted.
- Sweater Coat: This coat looks super comfy and super chic. I feel like I could get a lot of use out of it this fall and winter.
- Jean Miniskirt: $36 is a pretty good price for a denim skirt and I want a new jean skirt that is slightly bigger than the one I currently have.
- Nike Training Shoe: I envision myself wearing these all the time for yoga Monday and also just on days when I’m lounging around in athleisure.
- CozyWrap: I’m really really obsessed with this. I love these sorts of wraps and it looks so flipping cozy, I would live in it all fall and winter.
A Girl Can Dream…: These are the things I would buy if money grew on trees.
- Peplum Leather Jacket: This is a really adorable jacket that is also kind of badass which I 100% appreciate and support.
- Leopard Velvet Bodysuit: I love the subtle hint of leopard since it’s not super obvious but still noticeable.
- ASTR the Label Midi Dress: I almost got this exact dress for my graduation last year but opted for a shorter, white dress. It seems like this dress is following me and I totally think I can pull it off since I’m tall.
- Double Breasted Teddy Bear Coat: Two of my favorite things: the color red and a teddy bear jacket.
- Suede Skirt: Yes I already have a suede skirt, but I don’t have THIS suede skirt so it’s different (right?).
- Tweed Jacket: I just envision myself wearing this to work conferences and business meetings and let me tell you its quite a lovely vision.
- Tote Bag: My current brown leather tote bag is falling apart so this is tote bag would be a great replacement.
- Luggage: The pink is super pretty and I really need new luggage so this sale may be the time to buy some!
- Kate Spade Aviators: I desperately want a pair of aviators and while these are a little more expensive than I want to spend, they’re Kate Spade so can you blame me?
- Gold Locket: Another Kate Spade gem that would make me super happy, but is definitely a want and not a need.
Not Officially Part Of The Sale, But Still A Want: I was looking through Nordstrom and found a bunch of things that aren’t officially part of the Anniversary Sale but are still discounted none the less and I wanted to share.
- Heart Jeans: I’ve had my eye on these jeans for a while. The heart print is just so stinking cute. They’re also very summer-y.
- Outdoor Voices Leggings: I just discovered Outdoor Voices and I want a pair of their leggings so bad!
- Flamingo Soludos: One of my biggest regrets in life is that I didn’t jump at the chance to own a pair of Soludos with a crab on them (iykyk) but these flamingos are close enough.
- Luggage: THIS PURPLE LUGGAGE IS CALLING MY NAME! It’s my favorite color so I am highly considering just jumping at these because I also think they’re a good investment.
- Sequin FannyPack: I just thought this was fun lol.
- Tie Waist Shorts: My newest obsession is tie waist shorts because I think I look great in them and these are J.Crew and navy so I know I would get some good use out of them.
- Square Neck Minidress: I have been loving this style dress for this season and this is a pretty reasonable price for an ASTR the Label dress.
- Jumpsuit: It’s pretty and a little sparkly and can you tell I’m getting lazy explaining why I like these clothes?
- Something Navy Dress: This is just so cute and fun, a perfect casual summer dress. I really want to own something from SN.
- Tunic Top: “This would be a great work top” -the responsible side of my brain.
Phew! This was a lot. Let me know what you’re interested in purchasing for the sale and happy shopping!
