The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has officially started! Icon and Ambassadors can start shopping today, cardholders can start shopping tomorrow (11:30 am CST), and everyone else will get their shot at the sale on July 18th. If you want to shop before that date it’s not too late to sign up for a Nordstrom credit card here. I only use my Nordstrom card during the sale every year!

I’m sharing what I purchased along with all of my initial favorite picks. Keep in mind that new items will be added daily but these first items may or may not be restocked! Things are already flying off the shelves so if you see something you want, don’t hesitate on clicking that purchase button. You can always check out several times since Nordstrom has free shipping and free returns! Also, if you aren’t sure on size, order both sizes you are between and send the other back! Better to be safe than sorry as leaving something in your basket for more than a few minutes can mean you miss out!

I personally opted to order online and pick up in store the majority of my purchases. This means that Nordstrom will pull all of the items that you purchased and have them waiting for you at the customer service desk for you to pick up. Literally within a couple of hours! This is by far a better option than fighting the crows. I went before the sale started this week and it was already a madhouse! Also, there is 10X the selection online as there is in store as many of these items are “online only”.

Every year I stock up on “basics” meaning cotton tees, denim, cardigans, and leggings as these are the most worn pieces in my closet and truly are the most versatile. I love these $11 tees and also $18 long sleeve tees for layering when it starts to get a little cooler. The striped ones are always so cute peaking out from underneath a sweater! Last year I purchased this suede moto jacket and got way more use out of it than I thought! It goes with everything: jeans, dresses, you name it! Grab it while it’s almost $60 off. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of these and I highly suggest getting them in multiple colors.

Happy shopping friends and may the sale God’s be ever in your favor 😉 Don’t forget to bookmark this tab for all things Nordstrom Sale and check back here and on Instagram for new items each days as well as restocks on popular items.

You know those basics that you reach for out of habit? The ones that you might have already worn 2 or 3 times this week, but they are your tried and true favorites that you wear if you can’t seem to find anything else that’s cute AND comfortable? That’s me most days. Especially since getting dressed isn’t the easiest task right now, my ultimate goal is to always be comfortable and to be honest I don’t want to put a lot of thought into what I’m going to be wearing for the day because if I do, I’ll end up with a pile of clothes on the ground that didn’t make the cut. Want to know the chances that those clothes get hung back up? Zero.

It’s always great to stock your closet with easy basics that are also great to layer when the temperatures start to drop. Let’s break it down by tops, bottoms, coats/vests, and shoes. All of which I am going to list could technically be mixed and matched and are basics that I would go out on a limb to say that you NEED in your closet and won’t regret on those days that you have “nothing to wear”.
