Nordstrom Anniversary Sale | Women’s Top Picks

Oh happy day!!! The wait is finally over… this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is LIVE! Granted just a few can shop the Early Access Sale items today (Icon level cardholders), but we can all add to our Wish Lists!

True, it’s a little crazy to think about Fall clothes in the middle of a piping-hot Summer, but here’s the deal… this is not an end-of-season sale! It’s all the cute, NEW stuff coming out next season, but marked down for a short time! Once the Anniversary Sale is over, the prices will go back up (assuming they aren’t sold out).

I tend to look for closet staples and quality pieces that will be the foundation of my wardrobe for years to come, as well as stock up on products and items I use and wear year-round. There are literally 1000s of brand-new products in this year’s #NSale, and they’ll be up to 40% off for a short time.

The NSale can be a little overwhelming (#understatement), so hopefully today’s post is useful in helping you navigate this epic event, and focus on the items that will bring the most value to your closet. I’ve spent the last week pouring over every single one of them, and have rounded up my top picks in every category, starting with Women.

Sugarplum Shopping Tip: If you’re not an Icon member able to shop today, you can use today’s post as a look book to save your favorites to your Wish List for when your shopping day arrives! If my posts have been helpful and you’d like to ensure I receive credit, simply click HERE prior to checking out in the same browser window it opens. I appreciate y’all so much!

Best of Sweaters //

Sweaters are the furthest thing from my mind right now, but I know I’ll be glad I grabbed a few classics for less once the cooler weather returns. I love all the relaxed shapes coming out this year, and have a feeling this striped cardigan will go fast, followed by this open front cardi. I have it in a few colors, and it’s a good one! Especially for the price!

three.  Sleeveless Sweater  // four.  Cashmere Sweater
five.  Open Front Cardigan  //six.  Crewneck Sweater
seven.  V-Neck Sweater  // eight.  Pocket Hoodie

My go-to fleece v-neck comes in the best new colors, and even some fun prints. And I have a feeling I’ll want this soft tunic tee in more than one color, it’s perfect for layering over leggings.

Best Denim & Pants //

There’s no shortage of great denim this year, plus some incredible easy-to-wear pants for work and home. These black jeans are my go-to, for both the tummy-slimming panel and the cute fit! These twill pants would be so cute with sneakers and a tee, and I may actually splurge for this pair… the relaxed fit looks so good!

I know, I know… it’s 95-degrees out, but when else can you find brand new North Face styles for 40% off?! I’m also completely smitten with this plaid statement coat, and reallllly love this puff sleeve blazer. Looking for a timeless, flattering, and feminine Moto jacket for pairing with jeans and dresses? They don’t come much better than this one!

Zella is an incredible brand for athletic wear, and there are tons of styles included in the NSale! I always grab a new pair of these cropped leggings, and the sports bra is one of my favorites.
