Public access for the Nordstrom sale starts Wednesday at 2 am CST, and just in case you’re wanting to get a few fall/winter items on sale, I thought I’d share the things that worked for us! There were way more items that didn’t work for me that I had to send back, so that was pretty disappointing. The two Madewell sweaters I was really looking forward to were cancelled on me after my order was confirmed and the two jeans I tried on ended up being too snug and I just didn’t feel like ordering a size bigger–IYKYK.
Anyway, these are the things that worked for me and then I’ll share what worked for Dustin and Harrison.
What worked for me…
This year I decided to stock up on my favorite self tanner since it is incredibly cheap in this sale. I won’t have to buy anymore for at least another year, if not longer!
I was really excited to see my favorite bra in this sale. The straps are super soft and don’t cut into your shoulders (which is often a problem for me). I was fitted in the lingerie department for a bra at Nordstrom probably 3 years ago and this is the one I bought. I haven’t looked back and haven’t wanted to change styles or try something new–this one is my favorite nude bra!
I always wear the same pearl studs every day, but I decided to branch out during this sale and try these cubic zirconia studs. I love them and am keeping them for sure!! I got the bigger size, but they also offer a smaller size.
I ordered this high impact bra on a whim and am impressed! I didn’t think it would be high impact at first since it feels pretty thin, but it actually is. (Order tts) I now have 2 high impact bras and I can alternate on my work out days!
Last year I thought about asking for Golden Goose tennis shoes for Christmas, but changed my mind since I wouldn’t be able to try them on before buying. A few people recommended P448 shoes since they are very similar to GG. I didn’t think anything about shoes until I saw these included in the anniversary sale! I ordered my regular size and I LOVE THEM!! They are super cushiony so they will be great for standing on concrete floors all day!
What worked for Dustin…
A few years ago, Dustin tried this new-to-him brand as a polo since it was on sale. As soon as his order came in, he was hooked. These Peter Millar shirts are so soft and cooling that these are now the polos Dustin stocks up on during the anniversary sale. The above is one of the polos he got, but you can click here to see all of the polos offered during the sale.
Dustin says the above shirt fits about the same as Peter Millar and feels just as good!
I asked Dustin what he would say about these shorts (I bought him his first pair several years ago) and this is why he likes them: “They are a relaxing short/active wear. The material is better quality than most athletic shorts and you feel like you have more freedom in the fit than with other athletic shorts.”
Dustin isn’t a fancy face wash kind of guy, but he got this for Christmas last year and now really likes it! You can’t go wrong stocking up on face wash during this sale when it’s so much cheaper now than during the rest of the year.
When you live in the South, sometimes vests are really all you need during the winter. Dustin got this Barbour vest during this sale because it was at a great price point AND Barbour is a really great outerwear brand! It’s also really lightweight but will be really warm this winter.
What worked for Harrison…
I didn’t buy much for Harrison at all during this sale because he’s too big for the baby gear and the children’s clothing at Nordstrom really isn’t my style. But I’ve learned that Nordstrom has great outerwear regardless of style, so that’s what I got for H. I also got him to model them and he didn’t want to stop playing to smile for my pictures haha!
I love Northface as a brand and as soon as I saw this coat, I knew it would work for multiple uses. It’s got a hood so it can be work during rain (or maybe the one snow we might get), it’s lightweight, but it’s also going to be warm for this winter. I ordered up a size in hopes that we could get two years out of it, but it turns out, you need to order one size up in this jacket for it to fit now.
Harrison lived in pullovers last year when it was cooler. I loved this one, and even though he doesn’t look like it in the picture, he does, too! Order TTS
This pullover is coming in the mail today, so obviously I haven’t tried it on Harrison yet. I liked this sweatshirt because it looks like vintage JCrew and will go with lots of things this fall and winter.
Thanks for sharing the GG dupes because I am not wanting to spend that kind of money on the GGs LOL!
Harrison is too precious in those photos!
Cute cute shoes!
