It’s the most wonderful (shopping) time of the year!!!! With the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale finally here, you can shop for brand new fall items that are discounted now! It is definitely a one-of-a-kind sale! So here’s how it works:

1. If you are a Nordstrom card holder, the sale starts for you on July 12!
2. If you are not a Nordstrom card holder, you can shop the sale July 19!
3. Prices go back to normal on August 5!

This is a great time of the year to stock up on basics like layering tees, jeans, and cardigans! I was able to shop a few days early! And since we are in Denver (and near a Nordstrom!!), I am showing you all of my hits and misses as well as sizing information!

This is one of my favorite tops of the sale! It is so soft and available for around $30. I have a couple colors from last year and picked up the black for this year! I also noticed that there is an animal print version for this year that wasn’t in my store! I will be ordering that online!

Fit Tip: This top runs large. I sized down one size to XS.

If you are looking for the coziest fleece, this is it! I have from this last year in a couple colors! And while I found it so comfortable and cozy last year, it ran super large and the smallest size was a small. In my opinion, they have totally upped the fleece game for this season! Not only is the fleece available in XS this year, it is also even softer on the inside! If I had to make a sellout prediction, this fleece will be one of them!

I often get asked, “What do you really wear when you aren’t taking pictures for the blog?” Honestly, I always gravitate towards simple outfits like this! You can easily make your look more interesting by adding some fun booties or jewelry! This turtleneck sweater is a great basic!

For me, this outfit was a miss. While leopard print and flared jeans are very on trend right now, this outfit overwhelmed me a bit. I am only 5’5″ and the pants were several inches too long. Nordstrom does off free tailoring so that may have helped me! The pants are super soft with an elastic waist! The top would be great under a sweater but not by itself. It is very sheer.

Fit Tip: Size up if in between in the pants. Wearing a 27 (4). Top is true to size. Wearing a small.

Shop it all here:

While the full outfit was a miss for me, I did buy the sweatpants! Both pieces are super soft and comfortable, but the top needed to be a few inches longer in my opinion.

Fit Tip: I sized up one size in both pieces to a medium for a more relaxed fit.

Shop it all here:

This little cutie patootie top came home with me too! I am a sucker for all things animal print! You office working ladies could pair this with a pair of grey dress pants for work! So cute!
