Some of my Favs from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Via Spiga Drape Front Faux Suede Jacket. Available in navy, vucuna. Nordstrom. Was: $228 Now: $149.

We wait all year for it, and now it's finally here. In a word, Anniversary. If you have a Nordstrom card, you can pre-shop the sale until July 21st. Why would you do this? Because you can shop fall pieces now. And, I know from experience that sizes go fast. On July 21st, sale prices are available to the masses. When Anniversary ends, pieces go from their sale prices up to full price. It's wacky. It's fun. It's Anniversary. 

The benefit of having your very own personal stylist, Dear Reader, is that I've gone through every piece on sale to call out my very favorites.

One more thing. If you don't have a Nordstrom card (credit or debit), you might think about signing up for one. There's a wide range of benefits that include $20 Nordstrom notes (same as cash at Nordstrom or the Rack) showing up in the mail. If you are a serious Nordstrom shopper, you might also consider a credit card that earns you more Nordstrom notes anytime you use it (not just at Nordstrom).

No, the company didn't pay me to say this. But, it's my job as a personal stylist to make my clients aware of ways to maximize every dollar. 

So there you have it. And now onto some of my very favorite pieces on sale. The selection is pretty great this year, so you'll see a series of posts with more of my favs. Keep checking back. 

 

Round ONE: Edgy, Urban, Sexy

It's time for an over the knee boot. Aim for them to hit at the smallest part of your leg. Pairing is all about occasion and confidence. For regular wear, rock these with a flowy skirt over top for the sexy reveal or try them over leggings with an oversized sweater or tee. (Yes, they come in black.)

Halogen® ' Noble' Over the Knee Boot. Multiple colors available. Nordstrom. Was: $189 Now: $109.

Nothing is cooler. Try it over a long sleeved sweater or turtleneck, with a tank or a basic white tee. It's also stellar over a sheath dress.

rag & bone 'Faye' Longline Double Breasted Wool Blend Vest. Nordstrom.Was: $575 Now: $384.

You can never go wrong with Vince. Here's a play on the basic white tee. Or, go with black for an edgier vibe. 

Vince Sleeveless Mesh Overlay Blouse. Available in white, black. Nordstrom. Was: $295 Now: $196.

All Saints at Nordstrom?! Yes, please. The color selection and quality are too good.

ALLSAINTS 'Paradise North/South' Leather Tote. Available in multiple colors. Nordstrom. Was: $348 Now: $229.

Is it a t-strap? Is it a bootie? Whatever it is, it's super sexy.

L.K. Bennett 'Lara' Bootie. Nordstrom. Was: $395 Now: $259.

A bathing suit that has a sensual vibe but is still appropriate for a family pool. Plus, the support is there, which is key.

Miraclesuit® 'Solid Palma' One-Piece Swimsuit (Plus Size). Nordstrom. Was: $182. Now: $120.

I keep writing about tie neck blouses. Why buy one when you can make your own with a silk scarf. The color selection is lovely, too. This can also be used as a belt or a head scarf. Options!

Halogen® Silk Skinny Scarf. Nordstrom. Was: $38 Now: $24.

If you aren't wearing jackets on the regular, you are behind the times. Try swapping out your cardigans for a more structured option. And, leather? Well, at this point, leather or vegan leather is for everyone. It's just finding the right style for you and your figure. Colored leather is a dream and this green option is a neutral. Believe it. It works with nearly everything.

Sam Edelman Pintucked Leather Jacket. Nordstrom. Was: $450 Now: $298.

If you are tempted to go full designer, Anniversary is the time to do it. Otherwise, it's all about a lucky day online at the Rack. A bold piece that is still timeless, flattering and works for a wide array of occasions. 

Roberto Cavalli Leopard Print Sleeveless Sheath Dress. Nordstrom. Was: $755 Now: $529.

Love! Women with curves are sexy and this is the way to flaunt it. 

Sejour V-Neck Leather & Ponte Sheath Dress (Plus Size). Nordstrom. Was: $329 Now: $199.

For the woman who can rock a skinny heel, this shoe is everything. You won't believe the color choices. Dark purple? Indeed. 

Via Spiga 'Seraphina' Peep Toe Sandal. Multiple glorious colors. Nordstrom. Was: $250 Now: $149.

Sadly, there are very few (let's say 2) jumpsuits on sale. Lucky for us, this sophisticated and sexy romper is on the list! It's still warm outside. Why not try this affordable option for your date look?

ASTR Stripe Romper. Nordstrom. Was: $74 Now: $48.

Rag & bone. Need I say more?

rag & bone/JEAN 'The Dre' Slim Fit Boyfriend Jeans (Yesler). Nordstrom. Was: $275 Now: $183.

High waisted faux leather leggings are a dream. After all, you shouldn't be showing the top of these, anyway. A high waisted option acts as a shaper. If you are short waisted, this style will accentuate that issue. But, if you are looking to minimize your stomach and plan to wear a longer top, you may consider if this works for you. 

As for pairing, please stick with natural fabrics: cotton, silk, cashmere to keep things balanced. In the summer, wear with patent leather Birkenstocks or open toed booties. 

Lyssé High Waist Faux Leather Leggings. Nordstrom. Was: $108 Now: $71.
