I love seeing what everyone’s picks are for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I follow quite a few fashion/style bloggers and they have great taste and recommendations. Here’s the thing, I keep reading posts about amazing sale items that were priced at $445, now only $219! I get that it’s a great deal, but that price is still not in my budget. Some bloggers are also including an under $50 post, but time again I have clicked on an item that I really liked only to find that I couldn’t justify the price tag. Here are a few of my picks from the sale that also work for my budget.
Note: If you don’t know what the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is, let me fill you in. Every summer Nordstrom puts out a brand new fall line and marks it down. The sale runs for several weeks, and people who have a Nordstrom credit or debit card get early access to the sale. After the sale has been going for a while, it opens to the public. One of the downsides of waiting is that a lot of items sell out fast. This sale is highly anticipated and a really great way to update your fall/winter wardrobe. The sale ends on August 8th.

My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks
Here is how I approached the sale: I searched for anything that came in black. Kidding. Clearly I am loving black right now, but several of these items come in other colors and I love those options too! What actually happened was I searched for items that are on my wish list for fall, and then narrowed my choices by price. These were my favorites:
- Sole Society “Marlow” Structured Dome Satchel – I was really hoping to find a cross body bag in my price range, which didn’t happen, but I really love the architectural lines of this satchel. It looks like a really expensive bag (at least in the photo), but I have no experience with this particular brand, so I can’t speak to it’s quality.
2. Vince Camuto “Pedra” Over the Knee Boots – I am not really quick to jump on trends, but it seems like over the knee boots are going to be around for a while. I’m also just tired of riding boots, they’ve been a thing for a long time. Mine are getting a little worn, and I like that this black pair by Vince has a really low heel. I love heels but they aren’t always the most comfortable for running around with the kids. This pair also comes in a really great grey color, as well as cognac.
3. BP Faux Leather Drawstring Tote – This bag also caught my eye when I was browsing, and I want the cream version too. I’ve seen bloggers post about BP before, it seems like it’s one of Nordstrom’s most affordable brands that is also really popular with blogs that I follow. Make sure you check out the cream version!
4. BP Destroyed Skinny Jeans – Like I said, I’m slow to trends, but I really want some destroyed denim for fall. There weren’t any that I liked in blue denim, but I love this black pair, also by BP. Unfortunately my size sold out about 10 minutes after I put them in my cart (I told you things sell out fast!), but I will be considering these even at full price if they restock my size.
5. Nordstrom “Moonlight” Pajamas – I don’t think that I’ve seen pajamas on any other bloggers list, but I need pajamas! It’s one of those things that sits low on the priority list most of the time, but this sale is a good opportunity to splurge a little. I’ve been buying pajamas occasionally at Target when they have cute styles, but they seem to shrink and only last me about a year. I hope that this set will have better staying power.
What do you think of my picks? Have you been shopping the sale?
