NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY PICKS 2018

The Nordstrom Anniversary sale has started! The selection is always really amazing, but it is also enormous! I’ve combed through everything and highlighted my top 16 apparel picks this year. I don’t usually use the sale to stock up on basics, but rather for investing in a few fall forward pieces from my favorite brands like Veronica Beard, Sea, 1901, and Madewell. Below are all the items I am eyeing and buying – happy shopping!
nordstrom anniversary sale picks coats 2018one // This cozy, teddy bear jacket is the perfect shade of lilac meets blush. The shape immediately reminded me of the Topshop boucle jacket I have lived in for years. It is perfectly relaxed for layering, yet tailored enough to avoid feeling sloppy.

two // This two in one trench is an unbelievable steal. A quilted vest and perfectly preppy trench – such a great price at just $112!

three // From the oversized collar, to the sweet swing shape, to the perfect shade of red, this coat quickly found its way into my cart.

four // Veronica Beard is one of my favorite brands and they make the. best. blazers. I immediately bought this jacket and know it will be worn again and again this fall.
nordstrom anniversary sale picks dresses 2018one // I bought a version of this dress in last year’s sale and it quickly became my go to airport outfit. Throw on this dress, a utility jacket, and sneakers, and you had a comfortable, yet adorable on-the-go look.

two // 1901 has quickly become one of my favorite Nordstrom private label brands. Everything is preppy with modern twists. I ended up purchasing this dress in red and plaid!

three // While many things in the sale are fall forward, this dress is the perfect wear now piece!

four // I live for a built in collar so I was immediately drawn to this dress. This is an easy to wear stand alone piece, but I also would love to try layering one of my favorite summer striped midi skirts over the top!
nordstrom anniversary sale picks pants 2018one // At $50, I think these jeans are the best value for the price in the entire sale. I love a great cropped flare and the rise on these is simply perfect.

two // Sea makes an incredible pair of high-waisted cropped pants, so I was thrilled to see they created a plaid option for the sale. I am going to wear these back to this blazer.

three // MY FAVORITE JEANS. If you follow me you know I don’t wear denim often, but when I do, it is typically these Madewell high rise button front beauties…and now you can get them on sale!

four // I started wearing Spanx after my girlfriends raved about them on a trip 2 years ago. Now I don’t know how I survived all these years without them (dramatic I know). These tuxedo striped ones were purchased this morning and I am already envisioning them back to a striped sweater tunic.
nordstrom anniversary sale picks sweaters 2018

one // When I saw the catalogue, this piece was number one on my list. Everything from the lilac shade, the sweet shape, and the cashmere yarns had me falling in love. This was more of an investment purchase, but will be totally worth it!

two // Fellow stripe lovers, this sweater was made for you. It reminds me of the H&M stripe sweater I bought earlier this year. It is a favorite, but unfortunately sold out in the first week. Now is your chance!

three // As mentioned, I don’t usually buy super simple things in the sale, but between the color and the button back detail, this pretty piece was picked up.

four // A great short sleeve transition sweater in a classic black and white stripe.
