Happy Friday y’all!

As you guys heard last week, the Nordstrom Sale 2017 kicked off and the early access was bananas. In my sleep deprived state, I placed an order at 4am…then again at 8am…and then again at 11am. Yes, I realize how ridiculous that is but everything was so well priced and there were so many pretty fall staples. 

I don’t think the sale is necessarily the best time to buy trendy stuff, although I did pick up this tie front sweater and am obsessed with it. I tried to scour the sale for long cardigans, comfy tee’s and sneakers I would wear everyday. Since I’m toting a car seat and stroller around with me most of the time now, sneakers have become my new best friend and I had been searching for a grey that looked chic. Since the Golden Goose sneakers are outrageously priced (I love them but can’t pay $600 for some dirty sneakers) I was ecstatic to find this Adidas pair in the sale. Size tip: definitely go down a full size if you are in between and maybe even if you aren’t. They run pretty large!

Since the sale is open to the public today I thought I would share some favorites that are back in stock and all my purchases. Excuse the at home selfie pictures—I’m terrible at selfies but I thought it was the best way to show you sizing and fabrics! I have to be honest, when I got the preview book for the sale I wasn’t that excited, but once the pieces were released I started shopping. I love this sale so much because everything is brand new for fall but it can also be super overwhelming to dig through. The prices go back up as soon as it’s over so now that it’s open to the public, I would grab what you want before it sells out again!

 

So, here’s what I snagged:

 

Halogen Long Knit Vest

 

Okay, so this long vest wasn’t even on my radar but my mom loved it and we ended up ordering it for her. When it came in, I tried it on and fell in love! The fabric is so soft and definitely thick enough to provide some warmth, plus I love the collar. I ended up immediately ordering another for myself and will be layering this over so much come fall and winter. The vest is a one size fits all and looks great on everyone!

 

 

Topshop Patchwork Cardigan

 

Who can resist a grey patchwork cardigan? It’s like all my neutral dreams came true. In normal Topshop fashion this runs small. I ordered the size 4 and think it fits perfectly! The length hits mid thigh and the material is not terribly thick. 

 

Blouson Sleeve Sweater

 

This sweater is definitely a statement piece. The sleeves are really exaggerated and it runs true to size. I’m wearing a small and it isn’t cropped, but definitely on the shorter size as far as length! 

 

Halogen Long Sleeve Tunic

 

This shirt is SO soft! It comes in a few different stripe patterns and solid colors and I highly suggest it. It does run on the bigger side, I’m wearing a small here and ended up sending it back and ordering an X-Small. The scoop neck isn’t too low and the side slits are ultra flattering! 

 

 

Tie Hem Sweater

 

This was the statement sweater I was talking about earlier! I love this and ordered it in both the blush and grey for fall. I was unsure how the tie hem would look on me since I am curvier on the bottom, but it is so cute and flattering. It’s a simple detail that makes the sweater so much more fun. I liked the mock turtleneck and the fact that it has some wool to actually keep me warm! 

 

 

Halogen Long Ribbed Cardigan

 

Another one of my favorites! This sweater is a little bit pricier then the other cardigan I purchased but it’s because the material is thicker and looks so expensive. You can tell in the second picture but this runs big too! I ended up sending back this small for an x-small so order a size down if you want a more fitted look. 

 

Adidas Logo Relaxed Fit Tank

 

I originally bought this as a workout tank but I love it so much I think I’ll be wearing it out more! This is a small and is a little long but I like the relaxed fit and I forgot to snap a side picture but it’s a true muscle tee and the armholes are exaggerated! 

 

 

Rib Knit Cardigan

 

I loved the texture of this cardigan but not the color sadly. It’s a great neutral just not a good tone on my skin color! 

 

Lightweight Rib Stitch Cardigan

 

This is the lighter version of the long cardigan and I stocked up in a few colors! It runs a little big too but I liked the oversize fit in this plus the pockets! 

 

Nike Air Max Thea Sneaker and Adidas Gazelle Sneaker

 

My two favorite sneakers from the sale since I love black and white. I ordered the Nike’s a half size up and the Adidas a full size down. If you happen to like color more, this pink adidas pair is so cute! 

 

I rounded up some other favorites below and make sure to grab whatever you like before it’s gone. I learned from my mistakes and ordered most things in two sizes so I didn’t have to lose out! Happy shopping and hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
