What I Bought in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here.  While this normally isn’t my sale (I’m a Designer sale season girl), I do shop this sale to stock up on amazing basics.  I perused every single item up for grabs in the Women’s section and below is what I bought.  When these pieces get delivered, I will do a try-on session and let you know what I keep and what I return.

Jeans


This is definitely the time to buy designer jeans.  While the Anniversary Sale tends to put on-trend denim up for sale, I stick to the basics.  I’m not interested in step hems, super distressing or silhouettes that are “of the moment”.  I want pieces that will last me years and these two pairs do just that.

The black pair is a wardrobe must for their sleek, no distressing design.  They go with everything.  The blue pair is your tried and true, comfortable pair that can be worn while running errands, traveling or at night when you want to be more polished.  I adore the wash.

Tops & Dresses


I’ll be honest when I say I took a chance on this camisole.  I bought it in white and black, and the fabric will likely not be to my liking, but maybe I’ll be surprised.  I’ll give you my honest review when I pick it up this weekend.

This dress has amazing reviews and I love that it’s long sleeved and can be paired with OTK or ankle boots.  Looks like a great fall staple to me.  This top is super cute and comes in three colors.  I will probably get the black one too if I like the yellow.  Stay tuned for how I style it.

Sweaters


I always invest in the Nordstrom Signature line of sweaters during this sale.  This funnel neck cashmere one has my name all over it.  Such an insane deal that will last a lifetime.  Total no brainer for me.  I love the fitted shape of this striped one (bonus points that it comes in 7 colors) and will tuck it into skirts and high-waisted pants.  The camel sweater will likely disappoint me due to the quality, but I’m thinking it will be great to run around with my daughter.  Because let’s face it, with her it will easily get covered with baby food – hah!

Loungewear


I plan to wear these joggers as pajama pants.  Bonus points that they can also be worn outside the house.  This bra is super comfy with no underwire (but still gives great support).

Both pairs of undies are absolute wardrobe musts.  When I wear short dresses like this one and don’t want to wear a thong, these nude undies provide coverage but won’t show through.  I own them both in multiple colors and due to their normally higher price, this is the time to stock up.

Home & Beauty


I’ve written about these pillowcases before and you can’t beat this deal.  You save $51.  Add to cart!

These makeup sponges are all I use.  Since they need to be replaced about every 6 months, this is the perfect time to save money.  Normally two of them plus a carrying case would be $54, but you get them for $35.
