Nordstrom Must-Haves!

The annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale runs until August 4th. I had early access to the sale and was also able to pre-shop in Chicago. I have finally tried everything on and returned what did not work for me. I thought it would be fun to post about the things I did keep and love so you could grab them before the sale ends!

While the Anniversary Sale is a sale, it is still a bit on the pricey side for my educator salary. Therefore, I use the sale to stock up on basics that I love or designer items that I intentionally splurge on. I will say that many of the basics I have purchased over the past years are still in my closet and holding up extremely well. I also love that Nordstrom offers free shipping on purchases and returns. Nothing can get me to empty an online cart quicker than expensive shipping costs!

If you are interested in any of the items I purchased, you can click the link and be taken straight to Nordstrom to make your purchase. As a Nordstrom brand partner, I also get a small amount if you order this way. Thank you in advance!

Tucker & Tate Boys' Jeans

These are the best kids' jeans ever and the only ones that are "Mason approved". :)
They pull on like sweat pants but look just like regular jeans. I always buy Mason a pair of these during the sale. They are comfy, well-made and a great price!



I bought a pair of Vince Camuto black pants two years ago during the sale and they are still on heavy rotation for wearing to work. So this year, I tried these seamed back leggings. They are fabulous! The seam makes them a little dressier than a regular legging without losing any of the comfort. I bought these to wear with a long sweater and boots this fall and winter!



Bp. is one of my favorite Nordstrom brands, and one of the best priced as well. I absolutely love this purple sweater I added to my closet this year. It is light enough to wear as a transition piece between seasons and adds a great pop of color.



I don't like to play favorites, but this might be my favorite purchase of the sale this year. I cannot wait to wear this piece in the fall with the new olive Michael Kors jeans I picked up at Marshall's last week. This jacket has a cinch waist option that I love and is just the perfect shade of camo. I love it!



Everything is turning up animal print for the fall and I love this piece for incorporating the trend in an understated way for work. This blouse is flowy yet flattering. I especially like the sleeves; they are slightly belled at the bottom making it comfortable and visually interesting. I splurge a bit on this top but I do not regret it one bit. I also like the black and white version as well.

I wear my real diamond earrings every day in my second piercing. I added these to wear in my first hole because they are just a *bit* larger than my real ones. :) I am so pleased with this purchase! They look great and I haven't taken them off since they arrived. I also have not had any sensitivity to these either which is a definite plus!

The following two items were not included in this year's sale, but I bought them anyway! One is a tried and true favorite of mine and one is just too cute not to own. #worthit


This tinted moisturizer and sunscreen in one is a staple in my summer makeup routine. It wears well under my other makeup and keeps my face protected from the sun. If I'm hanging out at home, I will just wear this on my face with a bit of mascara. 

I like to buy a new tote and a new backpack for the beginning of each school year. I absolutely love my backpack this year! This picture does not show it, but there are also three small black stripes on the sides that only up the cuteness factor. It is also functional with plenty of pockets and a place for my laptop. This almost makes me ready to return to work!

I hope you found some goodies you cannot live without. Let me know what you bought or if I missed anything that I need to get before the sale ends. 

Have a great week!

Deanna
