Yay, today is the day!! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 (NSale) has officially kicked off, and if you’re a cardholder with the Ambassador or Icon status, you get to start shopping now. ALL cardmembers get to start shopping with early access tomorrow at 11:30am CST! (More information on how to shop early access in this blog post). I had the opportunity to shop the sale early this week, which was SO clutch so I could put together my top picks and try everything on for you guys! And my friends… there is soo much good stuff!! 🙂 The try on will also be in video form on my IG stories, so check out my “NSale” profile highlight if you want to check those out!
While I loved everything from last year’s sale, I personally think this year’s is even better! Tons of good basics, staple pieces for your closet, lots of repeat staples brought back from last year that I loved (so great for those that didn’t get a chance to grab them last year!) and all the fall and winter wardrobe essentials. From my previous experiences shopping the sale in years past, the basics and staples sell out the quickest, so act fast!! I’ll be sure to note what items I think will fly. Typically, BP., Leith, Socialite and taupe/light tan/camel colored ankle booties under $100 sell out quick!
I will be covering the NSale as a whole during the entirety of the sale (the last day to shop is August 4). Expect to see my top picks for Women, Men, Home, Kids & Baby, and Beauty on the blog, Instagram, and LIKEtoKNOW.it profile! In fact, I will actually be sharing MOST content on the LTK app (Download for Apple / Google) and my shop page on my blog.
I also want to give you a little disclaimer that I did not purchase all of this! That wouldn’t be realistic to anyone and I do not leave the house enough to wear all of the clothes! But I’m here to be your resource for sizing, honest opinions, and narrowing the merchandise down to my personal favorites (since there is SO much in the sale – very overwhelming) and also kept in mind what you guys were looking for after asking you on my stories! It’s my job, after all! 🙂
For sizing reference, I’m 5’7″, 135lbs and my true size is a size small and a 4 or 27 in jeans.
Topshop Patch Cable Crewneck Sweater
Took this one home with me!
Sizing: Runs oversized by design, but I actually sized up to a medium for an extra cozy fit. The size small was not in my store, but I was happy with the medium!
Price: On sale $44.90, after sale $68
AG The Farrah High Waist Ankle Skinny Jeans
This was designer denim purchase! If you buy one pair, I’d definitely get a nice pair of darker wash, non distressed jeans (unless you will wear the distressed pair more). I love the way that AG jeans fit, feel, look and LAST (v high quality!). These have a mid to high rise fit in the waist, and a cute raw hem and ankle cut (shown further down this post).
Sizing: True to size, but if between sizes, size down.
Price: On sale for $149.90, after sale $225
Vince Camuto Nestel Knee High Boot
These boots hit just a little over my knee and are a great option to take you through the fall and winter! Love the light tan suede color that goes with just about every outfit. Also come in black. The only thing I didn’t like about these was how wide they were in the calf, but take that with a grain of salt, because I have this issue with most boots (I have bigger feet (9.5) and small calves). The heel is not too high either, comfy and easy to walk in!
Sizing: True to size
Price: On sale for $159.90, after sale $239.95
BP. Lace Trim Satin Camisole Top
This cami that I’m about to show you in three different colors is at a HIGH RISK of selling out! Last year, the white and black sold out on the first day of early access… so let’s hope they planned for a good stock this year. 🙂 They came out with a few patterns this year, including this adorable leopard! Definitely going to be a hit!
Sizing: True to size, wearing a S
Price: On sale for $25.90, after sale $39
Treasure & Bond Rope Chunky Knit Throw Blanket
This is pictured in the background haha! I shared this on my story, but I am obsessed with this blanket! I love the look of it and it’s pretty soft. And it didn’t appear to shed!
Leith Longline Cardigan
This is another sought after, affordable cardigan from the NSale. Each year, they update the style of it slightly. Personally, this is my favorite style to date! Comes in 5 colors, and the Green Thyme Heather color was my favorite. Tried on the gorgeous Burgundy color farther down this post! I grabbed the Pink Adobe color last year, which was so pretty!

Madewell Ryder Stripe Cardigan Sweater
I purchased this cardigan last fall, but the colors were different – but I’m soo into these pretty pink hues in this year’s style! Super soft, warm, and the color blocking is a big trend for fall. If you aren’t into the color blocking, 5 solid colors are also available in the NSale HERE!
Sizing: This runs BIG!! Size down one size! I am actually wearing the XXS here which is completely unheard of for me, but I would’ve preferred the size XS which wasn’t available in store.
Price: On sale for $64.90, after sale $98
BP. Lace Trim Satin Camisole Top
Here’s the same cami as the leopard I was talking about above, but in the white/ivory color! This is an absolute closet staple for me, and it was the first color to run out of stock during last year’s sale. Act fast if you want it! Also, it’s not see through – I am wearing a nude bra and could not see through it. I took home the ivory and the black.

Behind, my favorite shoe purchase! Funny enough, I bought a similar pair last year and wore them to the ground, and they were my favorite shoe purchase last year! They go with so many outfits.

Free People Softly Structured Knit Tunic Sweater
This is hands down one of my favorite purchases… in fact, it might be my #1 favorite. I wanted this so bad last winter when it first launched, but I couldn’t swallow the original price of $148. While it’s still pricey, I think it’s worth the sale price! It’s super luxe, soft, and beautiful. I would sleep in this! If you are shorter, you could even wear this as a sweater dress with over the knee boots. I think I’m a little too tall to do that though, it’s not quite long enough on me! Comes in 5 colors.
Sizing: Oversized by design and true to size, wearing a small – if between sizes, size down

A great fall basic! This is a soft and lightweight waffle knit that will be your go-to under vests (think utility vests and sporty vests like Patagonia), scarves and outerwear. Super cute all on it’s own, too! Comes in 4 colors.
Sizing: If you want it fitted, get your true size. I opted for a size up in a medium, and like the slightly oversized/cozier fit!
Price: On sale for $24.90, after sale $38
Free People Ripped High Waist Skinny Jeans
This is my favorite distressed pair of denim I tried on in store! I actually have this style in olive and black, and Free People just came out with some new denim washes for the sale. Very comfy and very high waisted.
Sizing: True to size, wearing a 27
Price: On sale for $51.90, after sale $78
Leith Longline Cardigan
This is another sought after, affordable cardigan from the NSale. Each year, they update the style of it slightly. Personally, this is my favorite style to date! Comes in 5 colors, and the Green Thyme Heather color was my favorite. Tried on the gorgeous Burgundy color farther down this post! I grabbed the Pink Adobe color last year, which was so pretty!
Sizing: True to size, wearing a small
Price: On sale for $45.90, after sale $69
BP. V-Neck Tee
One of the most affordable basics you’ll find in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and definitely the most popular. White, gray, and black and white stripe will run out of stock the quickest! *Tip – there is a Caslon rounded v-neck version in the sale that is $15, but if you are considering the white, get this one and not the Caslon (it’s see through).
Sizing: True to size, wearing a small
Price: On sale for $11.90, after sale $15

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Sneaker
A white sneaker is a closet staple for me, and I couldn’t resist the rose gold eyelets, 1″ platform and under $50 price tag on these!
Sizing: Run large, go down 1/2 size

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Lite Circle Cardigan
This is my favorite Barefoot Dreams cardigan out of the styles that are offered in the NSale! I actually have this in the “Stone” color already from a couple of years ago, but that exact color isn’t available (the Pewter/Pearl color is super similar though if you are looking for a lighter neutral). This color is the Pacific blue and I think it’s so pretty!! Honestly, Barefoot Dreams must have upgraded the cards this year because it’s just a touch softer than the one I have at home! It was so hard for me to resist this one, but I did not need another BFD cardigan haha, I have like 5 at home… the obsession is real!
Sizing: In this particular style, I sized up to a medium since the arms are more fitted. For all other BFD cardigans in the same, get your true size.
Price: On sale $76.90, after sale $116

Patagonia Lightweight Better Sweater Marsupial Fleece Pullover
Almost walked out of Nordstrom with this on! Patagonia rarely goes on sale, so I typically purchase an outerwear piece during the NSale. Fell in love with this one! Comes in a few colors.
Sizing: I like to size up in these, I usually get a medium and that’s what I am wearing here
Price: On sale for $88.90, after sale $119

Sizing: True to size

Sizing: True to size, wearing a 27
Price: On sale for $38.90, after sale $59
Chelsea28 Cowl Neck Sweater
This sweater also comes in 3 more colors and is soo cozy and soft! Definitely warm, too. I was worried about the 5% wool in the material since I am sensitive to wool, but this was the least bit itchy!
Sizing: True to size, wearing the small
Price: On sale for $49.90, after sale $79
FRAME Le High Waist Skinny Jeans
FRAME is another designer brand I love for denim, but I personally loved the above STS Blue jeans that are $100 less more than this pair! They look super similar too! Just found them to be a bit more comfy, though I’m sure the FRAME pair will last longer since denim is premium quality.
Sizing: True to size, wearing a 27

Articles of Society Sarah Ankle Jeans
One of the best and most affordable denim brands in the sale! And always have great stretch and comfort. I’ve found that no matter how much $ I drop on black denim, they will always fade after multiple washes. That being said, I wouldn’t splurge on black denim unless the fit is exceptional. This pair fits the bill and look amazing, so I’d just grab these!
Sizing: True to size, wearing a 27 – but if between sizes, size down
Price: On sale for $41.90, after sale $64
Something Navy Leopard V-Neck Cardigan
This cardigan is so warm and cute! Definitely a cardigan that you can take through winter, and can be worn buttoned as a tunic sweater or unbuttoned (how I prefer to style it). Only con on this is that it does shed very slightly. Not enough to make it a deal breaker, but I did see some little fuzzies on the black jeans after putting it on.

Found several things I like through your blog post! Can’t wait to see the designer purses and baby/kid items on sale!
Awww yay!! Thank you so much for your sweet words, Nicole! 🙂
Hey thanks for everything you did here. So helpful. How much is the chunky white blanket on the bottom of everything on the little side table in the dressing room please? And what brand is it? Thx
No problem, Brooke! Thanks for checking it out! 🙂 And good eye! I previewed it on my story too, it’s an amazing blanket!! I added the link in the post just now, but here it is for easy access: Treasure & Bond Throw
This was a fantastic post that I have referenced so many times! I bought a ton of your reco’s and can’t wait to try them on post-baby (challenge of NSALE happening while 8 months pregnant – lol!) Such a random question, but what strapless bra do you recommend? I’ve never found one that I love and willing to take any advice! Especially since I got the lace cami in 3 colors and hope to wear it often.
