Mesh Scatter Sequin Dress & Red Lace Ups : Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Dress Picks

DRESS // HEELS // CLUTCH (similar)

In today's post I will be sharing my top dress picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. Remember prices go up August 6th. My apologies to everyone who hasn't been able to get an item because it was sold out. I will be doing a post towards the end of the sale for restocks make sure to follow me on Instagram for IRL updates.

The dress I have on is from Asos Curve and it is the Mesh Scatter Sequin Mini Dress I got it in a us 16 (size 18 left). Fit wise it fits kinda big on top, so if you are in between sizes id say size down especially if you are pear shaped. 
I'm not typically a fan of over the top styles the color sold me on the Dress. Love the sherbert vibes lol, this look was actually in my Vacation lookbook watch it Here. 

I decided to pair the Dress with the tomato red Lace Up heels (on sale) because the colors work so well; these Heels (c/o Torrid) have extra padding and are chunky definitely made for walking.

SHOP THE POST

Nordstrom always has a good selection of quality Dresses ( Luv the color of this one) in Plus . So if you have an event coming up or just want to spruce up your wardrobe then don't hesitate to save while you can (prices go up August 6).

Is it Worth it? Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Misses & Hits + A Try On Haul

In today's post I'm going to be sharing my hits, and misses from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Today is the first official day of public access EVERYONE  can shop the sale now!! 

So I got my order in time to shoot a try on haul!! That video will be added to the post as soon as I am done with so please BOOKMARK & COME BACK. I truly appreciate you taking the time to come back to the blog and I hope you continue to use me as a resource for all your shopping needs💋

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Top Basics

Ok so the one item I knew was gonna sell out were the Caslon U-neck tees and I was right as of last check they were sold out they have RESTOCKED (limited quantities) in black and white I am hoping they will restock Here

My next fav from the sale would be the High Waist Seamed Leggings by LYSSÉ. I realized during the Try on that I actually owned a pair of Lysse leggings. It was gifted to me a couple of years ago during Curvy-con and it has held up remarkably. They are definitely worth it. I also picked up the Zella leggings and honestly I love it just as much as the Lysse for different reasons.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Top Footwear

The first favorite would be the Yommi Chelsea Bootie
by MARC FISHER. I know for a fact that these boots will pay for themselves 100 times over because they can literally be worn with everything. They're a pull on style and are made up of a very comfortable soft leather that will mold to your feet over time.

The next surprise favorite was the Kerrin Oxford
ED ELLEN DEGENERES. When I first put my feet in them they seemed to run a little narrow after wearing them with diffrent outfits during the try on they seem to loosen up. They are made up of a wool like fabric. Their gray color makes them very versatile and they paired well with the Madewell tote .

If you know me you know I luv a printed accessory, especially a printed Flat. One of the easiest ways to add interest to a look is to throw on a printed accessory and these Raisa Bow Flat
by SAM EDELMAN do just that (they go up to a size 13). They come in a variety of solid colors and printed colors and I'm hoping the restock the Gingham pair in a size 11 Here

Honestly every shoe I got exceeded my expectation except for this One, and it wasn't because of any problem with the shoe BTW it was because I had a harder time than I thought to styling it.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale  Best Toppers (Jackets & Sweaters)

So I picked up 3 jackets and If I had to pick one it would be the Sejour Leather Moto Jacket in OLIVE (peoples choice), I got it in a 16W. The leather is soft, supple 😉 and not bulky it also has ribbed panels under neath the arm and sides which ensure a custom fit. The only con really is its price point, If you're ready to splurge it's definitely worth it.

My first miss would be the Caslon Mixed Knit Moto Sweater it's meant to be a hybrid however it just didn't work the sweater material didn't hold its shape and to my surprise the XXL was big. Also the gray ends up looking like a towel. It's one of those pieces where the concept sounds great but the execution. 

I also ordered the Double Face Jacket by Keneth Cole Details Here

The next miss for me would be the Barefoot Dreams® CozyChic Lite® Circle Cardigan in

Cocoa/ Peatl Heather. Now barefoot dreams has a cult following on social media and I may get canceled for this; however, my issue with the cardigan was not its Insanely incredible softness. 

Because it definitely feels like you are wearing clouds, but rather the color and style. The fabric of the Cardigan was too soft for its intended style so it draped awkwardly. In addition, the color was a grayish brown which didn't go well with any of my warm toned browns. But honestly guys the insane softness of this Cardigan can literally make you forget all that. The HYPE is real!!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Best Tops

 If I had to pick one top it would be the Plaid top from BP because it fit around my Hips well, it was kinda slouchy and long enough to be worn as a tunic or tucked in.

Finally, I also thought you should know that none of my tops were from the Plus Size section (which tends to be pricier). If you are in between a 16 and 18 you aren't completely restricted to Plus. So explore a little.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Top Accessories

I only picked up 2 items from this section. I wanted a two toned Watch I picked up this one (under $100) love the shape and its woven band, it's versatile so it will be easy to mix and match. 

Finally, I also picked up this Madewell tote its all leather superrrrrr versatile. As you can see from the video. The gray stripe going across just adds a very now/ sporty /edgy element and I am here for it. It has the makings of a piece that will wear well over time.

Madewell Paint Stripe Transport Leather Tote - Grey // Women's Skagen Hagen Mesh Strap Watch, 34Mm

These are my favorite things from the haul, I realized that I didn't stock up on my cardigans so I'll definately be on the look out for those. 

Whats next in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale series Dresses, premium plus size Denim, boys (big and small lol) and Accessories. I am considering doing a post on gift ideas ( for my early shoppers), beauty, higher end picks and Home but only if you guys are interested.

How to Shop The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale on a Budget + What Im Buying

Can you believe it the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is finally here 🙌🏾🙌🏾 . I thought I would put up this post real quick!! It is currently 11:26  and I went to bed super late last night woke up early and I'm about to do the same again 🙈 God give me strength.  I'm here writing this post because I really want you guys to have to have access to the post as soon as you wake up this morning.

For those who don't know what the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is it's basically a sale where you get to shop new arrivals (fall preview) at discounted prices (this is not how typical retail works BTW). 

So there's this big misconception that Nordstrom is a premium brand and therefore really expensive, I'm here to share a secret Nordstrom does have affordable lines and  I'll be sharing them below. Here is why I'm a fan of Nordstrom you get quality pieces with one of the best customer friendly policies.

If you can only invest in a category that category should be BASICS (See the one item you need from the NSALE), stock up on quality tees, cardigans, jeans, moto jackets these are your closet workhorses and outfit makers. When you invest in these categories you get the most bang for your buck and the difference in quality makes you look expensive.

White Jeans Outfit + The One Thing You Need From the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

JACKET SOLDOUT (SIMILAR) // JEANS // SANDALS // TEE

Hi Chicsters long time no speak in todays post is all about wardrobe basics. Now I believe I've talked about basics on the blog a couple of times but honestly there importance didn't dawn on me until a couple of months ago.

 Last year during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale I tried out the Tee I have on and I fell in love.  Prior to this revelation I was the kind of girl who didn't believe in spending more than $10 bucks on a Tee. 
However when I put on this Tee all my t shirt dreams were fulfilled. It was slouchy but not baggy, THE NECK wasn't too wide low etc ( its a U-neck/rounded V), the sleeve length was just right, and the Tee COVERED MY BUTT!! Boo I almost lost it! BTW I am wearing an XXL which equates to an 18 comes in Plus also.

SHOP THE POST

Basically the experience reiterated what I had heard for years which is to invest in basics! 

You look more expensive they fit and wear better and over time you get your money's worth. Speaking of the sale it starts in 2 days, (Early Access) I am currently gathering the Tea lol! I will be sharing my picks in various categories so if you want me to cover any specifics please let me know.

I didn't even talk about my outfit, the theme was all white with contrast, I was going for resort vibes so I paired my favorite White Tee which I currently have a double of and in black (will be stocking up if avail during the sale) with a pair of white jeans from Ashley Stewart (watch Haul) comes in XS, S, R, TALL ,  an embroidered denim jacket from Torrid and lace up sandals from Asos.
