Nsale: What I actually bought

I know for the past couple of weeks all you’ve heard is what YOU should be buying at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I know it can feel a bit, well, salesy. And not in a good way. I shared what was on my shopping list with you earlier this month and now I wanted to share with you what I’m actually keeping. I know everyone’s budget and closet are different, but these are the items that I thought were worth purchasing this year. I’ll link everything, even if they are out of stock or have limited sizes/colors since I know things can restock or you could catch a return or (gasp) pay full price later.

Workout apparel was high on my list this year. I always stock up on Zella during the sale and this year I needed to size down in a few items! I grabbed a couple of tanks (both in XS) and leggings (size small). I’ve been loving short tanks like this one lately and added a front knot to this one for my workout yesterday. And I love that this pair of leggings has a super high waist, cell phone pocket, and is 7/8th length!

Apparently I have a thing for stripes and I’m not mad about it. I actually own both of these striped tops from last year and was excited to see updated color ways. This lightweight tee is great for layering. I also have the black and white stripe from last year. And the Madewell sweater is the perfect weight for San Diego. I can’t wait to wear it with my favorite J. Crew shorts this fall! (I know you’ll forgive this real life situation that I’m sharing for the sake of fashion!)

And my surprise find of the sale was these earrings! I love them so much for every day and have worn them almost every day since I bought them!

I’m still thinking about these shoes and crossing my fingers that I can score this cardigan on a restock or return before the sale ends on August 4th!
