I shop this sale every year because this are my most worn pieces throughout the year, hands down. I am super excited about this years sweaters, cardigans, and dresses. So many pieces I know I'll wear all year long.

A bit about why you should listen to me on my Nordstrom picks: I am a real person. I'm not a fashion blogger. I'm not a size 0 and I share REAL pieces and the best deals. You likely won't see anything expensive. I focus on quality over quantity.

It's important to note that new stuff is added and things WILL sell out. I'll update you with my guides, what's in stock, and photos of me in the clothing!

Ripped Straight Jeans // Treasure & Bond Plaid Burlap Scarf // Zella Live in Leggings // ‘Caroline' Travel Jewelry Case // Spanx Faux Leather Leggings // Free People Swim Too Deep Turtleneck Sweater // Snuggle Plush Faux Fur Slipper // St. Tropez Jumbo Self Tanner // Marc Fisher LTD Padmia Boot // Floppy Wool Felt Panama Hat // Wubby Jacket

Best of the #Nsale Bottoms

Kut From the Kloth Catherine Ab Fab Ripped High Waist Boyfriend Jeans (My favorite jeans of the sale! So flattering!) // Spanx Faux Leather Leggings (my fav “dressy” leggings) // BDG 90's Vintage Mom Jeans // BP. Ripped Straight Jeans // Good American Good Waist Distressed Ankle Skinny Jeans (these suck you in!) // Zella Live in Leggings (my all time fav leggings!) // Kut From the Kloth Elizabeth Fab Ab High Waist Raw Hem Ankle Straight Leg Jeans // Muse Ribbed High Waist Sweatpants

Zella Live-In leggings, originally $59, on sale for $38.90. These are the best leggings in the WORLD. After 3 years I'm finally buying a new pair. The only reason is because I went hiking and a stick scraped my leg and I have a small hole. I wear these for lounging, working out, hiking, walking around, LIVING. They are the best. Buy 8. They are comfortable, high waist, and moisture wicking. I also wear them with sweaters and dress them up with boots.

Zella Live-In Leggings Pocket 7/8 – originally $59, on sale for $38.90. What I really REALLY love are the 7/8 pocket legging because they are a bit shorter (and I'm pretty short) AND they also have pockets. I will be buying these in every color offered.

I'll also be buying the bike shorts from Zella and the “Run High Waist Pocket Performance Ankle leggings.” I'm a BIG fan of this brand!

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings – originally $98, on sale for $64.90. Cute, comfy, suck you in, and look great for dressing up.

What to Skip

I think people often focus on these things, just because they're on sale. But these are a big pass.

I tried this Spanx Bra last year and I couldn't stand it. It didn't support me and the cups were tiny.

The Thread & Bare “wubby” fleeces do not hold up. Not worth it.

There's nothing wrong with this top, per se. Except for the fact it's almost $300.. on sale! And it's very thin and see through. That's a pass.

Living Proof Full Size Full Shampoo, Conditioner & Full Dry Volume Blast^™ Set – I am just not overly impressed with Living Proof Shampoo or conditioner. Their scalp treatment worked wonders. But I've had a full set of this product and didn't care for it.
