NSale 2021: What I Bought + How to Style It
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens up to ALL card members! I know it can be hectic to try to sort through all the items so I wanted to share my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 Top Picks with ideas on how to style it and sizing details below. You can also check my Instagram highlights under NSALE for try-on. Stay tuned as I have a few rounds of try-on to come.
I know seeing all this #NSale stuff might make you feel major FOMO wishing you could buy all these things... By no means do I want to encourage you to buy everything and please don’t feel bad if you can’t have it all! This is my job so I definitely have more things than normal (it’s excessive for sure). I am choosing items that can be versatile and worn many ways all through fall and winter. That usually means focusing on key fall styles to get me ready for the upcoming season, such as top picks for coats, jackets, sweaters, cardigans, and shoes! Below you will find lots of basics and items that I already have in my closet.
I hope I can be your trusted resource to see what these items look like on a real person.
For sizing reference: I’m 5’8″ and typically a 30 in jeans and wear a medium, size 8 in dresses.
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 Top Picks: What I Bought + Ways to Wear
Top Picks Closet Staples:
Best Boots:
Best Outerwear:
Satin Slip Dress (wearing medium) | Faux Leather Jacket (large) | Marc Fisher Boots
One of my favorite top picks in the outerwear category is this plaid shawl collar jacket. It runs large, so size down. I am wearing small. Similar plaid jacket here and here.
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Top Picks for Plaid Jackets:
One of my all-time Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 Top Picks has to be \this BlankNYC Suede Miniskirt - I have had it for 4 years! Such a great closet staple. (true to size 30)
BlankNYC Suede Miniskirt (true to size 30) | Free People Turtleneck Sweater (size down, wearing sm) | Steve Madden Hayle Platform Chelsea Boot (true to size 8.5)
One of my favorite top picks in footwear at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Is the Steve Madden Hayle Platform Chelsea Boot! It runs true to size but if you have wide feet, sizing up 1/2 wouldn't be a bad idea.
Mother Jeans (size up 2 sizes, I got 32) | Halogen Plaid Shirt Jacket (size down, wearing small) | Free People Tee (wearing small) | Chelsea Boot (true to size 8.5)
The Mother Jeans are incredibly comfortable but it runs small! Go up TWO sizes. It is my top pick for designer jeans!
Left: corduroy shirt (size down, wearing small)
Middle: Flannel Shirt (wearing a medium) | Flats (tts)
Right: Tee (size down, small) | BB Dakota Plaid Shirt Jacket (tts, wearing a medium) | Steve Madden Chelsea Boot (true to size 8.5)
I am wearing Kut from the Kloth Skinny Jeans (true to size, wearing 8). I shared a whole blog post on my favorite affordable denim top picks from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale here.
Top Picks Spanx Faux Leather Legging
If there was a top 10 list of my favorite wardrobe stable, these Spanx faux leather leggings would be on it! They are comfortable, chic, and suck in the body parts in the right places. They definitely feel like you are wearing firm control Spanx. That being said, they hold everything in and give a very smooth silhouette. Although, base on a lot of other reviews, a lot of people also sized up. I would only consider sizing up if you want a little less firm, more comfortable fit. I am wearing size large 8.
Flannel Shirt (wearing medium) | A&F Shorts (true to size, 30) Chelsea Boot (true to size 8.5)
long cardigan (wearing med) | skinny jeans (size 8) | booties (tts 8.5)
