#NSALE Wardrobe Essentials: 9 Styled Outfits

It’s been a hot minute since you heard me talk about the Nordstrom Anniversary sale and with only 5 more days to shop the sale before everything goes back to full price, I wanted to share 9 outfits made up entirely of 15 pieces from the sale. I hope you find this helpful when deciding which pieces are worth the purchase now, perhaps even if you will not wear it until later in the season. I know that I personally like to see it on someone else before pulling the trigger to purchase so that I can see what it will look like on. So without further adieu, here you go!

Jacket // runs true to size and is seriously a closet staple! I bought this last year. Since this jacket is now sold out. Here is super similar one.

Long sleeve tee // Runs very big. I am wearing an XS and it is still big enough to knot and wear off the shoulder. Such a great closet staple for layering and is only $18!

Jeans // True to size and one of the most under rated pair of jeans of the sale! I own several pairs of jeans in this brand. It is a great budget friendly jean.

Dress // Runs true to size. You can never have too many comfortable bodycon dresses, am I right?

Cardigan // Runs big. I am wearing an XS but could have done an XXS. If I had to pick just one cardigan from the sale, this would be it! It is a great thickness, has pockets and I love that it is longer in the back.

Sneakers // Run true to size. I am on a sneakers kick as of lately and these are such a steal!

Top // Runs very big. I’m wearing an XXS. This is just a fun top that comes in the prettiest shade of pink and also a grey color!

Jeans // Run true to size. I am wearing a size 25. If you buy just one pair of jeans from the sale, make it this pair! They are high waisted and so flattering.

Sneakers // Run true to size. I am on a sneakers kick as of lately and these are such a steal!

Jacket // Runs true to size but I would size up if wanting to wear with sweaters. I bought an XS. Hands down my favorite purchase from the entire sale!

Camisole // Runs true to size. You might as well stock up in every color because these lace camis are all the rage this season and are great layering pieces. Since this is currently sold out, I found an similar one here.

Skirt // Runs true to size. I am wearing a 25. Comes in 2 colors and is the perfect addition to you wardrobe for fall. Can be worn with booties, boots, or heels!

Shirt // Runs true to size. This darling top is a great transitional piece and would be so cute with shorts now.

Jeans // Run true to size. I am wearing a size 25. If you buy just one pair of jeans from the sale, make it this pair! They are high waisted and so flattering.

Jacket // Runs true to size but I would size up if wanting to wear with sweaters. I bought an XS. Hands down my favorite purchase from the entire sale!

Long sleeve tee // Runs very big. I am wearing an XS and it is still big enough to knot and wear off the shoulder. Such a great closet staple for layering and is only $18!

Sneakers // Run true to size. I am on a sneakers kick as of lately and these are such a steal!

Basic tee // Runs true to size. You might as well grab this tee in every single color because they are just so easy to throw on and go. For $15 who could say no?

Cardigan // Runs true to size. I am wearing an XS. Another great cardigan choice that comes in multiple colors and is under $35!

Jeans // True to size and one of the most under rated pair of jeans of the sale! I own several pairs of jeans in this brand. It is a great budget friendly jean.

Sandals // Run a half size small. I’ve literally been wearing these all Summer long you guys! Almost daily.

Long sleeve tee // Runs very big. I am wearing an XS and it is still big enough to knot and wear off the shoulder. Such a great closet staple for layering and is only $18!

Jeans // True to size and one of the most under rated pair of jeans of the sale! I own several pairs of jeans in this brand. It is a great budget friendly jean.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Wear Now & Later

The first day of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for 2017 is here! If you are a Nordstrom cardholder, you are able to shop the sale early. If you do not have a Nordstrom card, the sale will open up to the rest of the public on July 21st, just one short week away!

I stayed up all night to find what I think to be the best deals out there so far. While the majority of the sale is geared towards Fall/Winter items, I successfully found several items that you can actually wear right now (Southerners- I got you!). I am headed into Nordstrom later this morning to try on items from the sale and share how everything fits and my honest review about each item. I will post about this on the blog over the next couple of days, but get a first look by following me on Instagram! Remember these items WILL sell out fast!

*SHOP THE BELOW COLLAGES BY CLICKING ON THE ITEM THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN*

Although most items are geared towards the cooler weather, I was still able to find a pretty large selection of swim suits, tank tops and dresses! See more of my “wear it now” picks below!

My favorite items to shop, especially during early access, are jeans, boots, designer purses, and coats! See more of my “wear it later” picks below!

I will be covering the Nordstrom Sale lots over the next 3 weeks so make sure to bookmark IACTM as Nordstrom will add new items to the sale each day! I’ve gone ahead and added a NSALE 2017 tab to the top of the blog with a drop down menu to categorize all of my favorite sale items. This is where you will find the most up to date items as I will also be updating this every day. Happy shopping friends 🙂
