Happy Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Day, friends! Not gonna lie, I had a REALLY fun time shopping yesterday and I’m super excited about this post and this IGTV video!

I’m not an Icon or Ambassador Member at Nordstrom, so even though I went to scope out the sale yesterday, I still haven’t shopped it. And yes, of COURSE, I found a lot of cute stuff for myself, but I was also looking for you guys! You requested lots of items you can wear from desk to drinks, coats/jackets, and activewear so I tried to focus on that – with some dresses thrown in (DUH!).

Once the Early Access sale is officially live, I’ll also sift through that to find the best of your requested categories (not every store has everything in stock and a lot was already gone in my size there), so stay tuned for that this afternoon. In the meantime, keep scrolling for what I tried on, lots of sizing info (hey petite gals!), and prices. And don’t forget to see each piece in action in this video!

*For reference, I am about 5′ 1.5″ and I typically wear XS top and size 26 jeans.

MyNordstrom Try On

1.State Button Front Blouse – On Sale For $58.90

I looooove this blouse! I have the XS on and the fit is perfect. Blouse sleeves tend to be a little long on my arms, but this has a little ruching at the wrist that keeps it in place. It would be super cute tucked into a skirt for an important meeting at work, or half tucked into skinny jeans for a more casual look. (Marked down from $89.)

Madewell Ripped High Waist Crop Jeans – On Sale For $84.90

I’ll be honest, I didn’t try on that many jeans… mostly because I don’t need more and I love my Everlane jeans, which are sustainably made and still less expensive than these sale prices. That being said, I own a few pairs of Madewell jeans that I LOVE – so if you want to snag a cute new casual pair, I’d definitely grab this pair! I’m wearing my usual size 26 and because they’re supposed to be cropped on tall gals, us petite gals don’t have to shorten them. Wahoo!! (Marked down from $128.)

Vince Camuto Tie Front Top – On Sale For $58.90

If you work in an office, add this top to your cart NOW! I kind of grabbed it on a whim, but I still can’t get over how cute it is on! It’s conservative, but the fabric is really light and airy – and the knot gives you a little shape. Perfect for desk-to-drinks, all you need is a swipe of lipstick before your order that glass of wine! I’m wearing an XS and I tied the knot pretty tight to cinch in my waist because it’s a little baggy otherwise. (Marked down from $89.)

Madewell Button Back Top – On Sale For $51.90

So many of you requested versatile blouses, and this Madewell top is another great option. I especially love that the length isn’t cropped, but it’s also not too long – so us petite gals don’t have tons of extra fabric (but it also wouldn’t be too short on you tall beauties). This is another one that would be super cute tucked into a skirt, or with casual jeans like this! I’m wearing my usual XS. (Marked down from $78.)

Chelsea28 Puff Sleeve Sweater – on sale for $45.90

Don’t worry, this sweater comes in grey too, but OF COURSE I WENT FOR THE HOT PINK. How could I not?! I first tried on the small, thinking it might be cozy to have some extra room – but the XS was plenty big, so don’t size up! And beyond being obsessed with the color, the puff sleeve is a really cute detail and the material is SO soft. If you like a pop of color (or if you love a good grey sweater!) don’t miss this one. (Marked down from $69.)

Love By Design Chenille Sweater – On Sale For $25.90

I kicked myself last year when I didn’t get a chenille sweater. Trust me, I know it’s hard to buy in the middle of July, but as soon as it gets cold out, I wished I had it in my closet… so this year, I’m snagging one! I particularly like this one because most chenille sweaters swallow me up a little, but this almost feels like it was sized for petites. I’m wearing a small and the shoulders, length, and sleeves are all great. Big fan! (Marked down from $39.)

BLANKNYC Straight Leg Crop Jeans – On sale for $64.90

I grabbed these jeans just so I’d have pants to wear with the tops I wanted to try on… and I actually really love them! At stores that don’t have petite or “short” sized denim, I always look for cropped styles so I don’t have to worry about shortening them. That method worked with these because they’re the perfect length. I have a size 27 on, and I probably could have sized down to my usual 26, but I kind of liked the slightly baggy straight leg look. (Marked down from $98.)

Halogen Cashmere Sweater – On Sale For $64.90

I have a lot of sweaters like this in my closet, but if you’re looking for cashmere basics, you really can’t beat this price! I’m wearing an XS here and, as you can see, it comes all the way down to my hips. It comes in multiple colors, too! (Marked down from $98.)

Caslon Faux Fur Jacket – On Sale For $65.90

Well I forgot to take a picture of this fuzzy jacket, but you can see it on me in this video AND it comes in PETITE SIZING!!! I have an XS on in the video, but it was definitely still roomy, so I bet the petite XS would have better proportions. Regardless, the material is so soft and cozy – perfect for early morning walks or weekend strolls from the coffee shop. (Marked down from $99.)

Madewell Ripped High Waist Crop Jeans – On Sale For $84.90

BP. Everyday V Neck Sweater – On Sale For $29.90

Loooooove this sweater! It’s very cozy and the XXS is still roomy without being overwhelming on me. This pink is subtle in person, but it also comes in grey too. At just $30, this one is definitely being added to my cart today! (Marked down from $45.)

BLANKNYC Straight Leg Crop Jeans – On sale for $64.90

See description under the chenille sweater!

Something Navy Flecked Crewneck Sweater – On Sale For $49.90

The first thing you need to know about this sweater is that it runs big/long. I’m wearing an XXS and it still almost covers my butt! That being said, it’s really cozy, the colors are great (also comes in pink!), and it’s perfect for wearing with leggings. (Marked down from $79.)

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings – On Sale For $64.90

I’ve thought about trying these faux leather leggings for the past few years and I just haven’t taken the plunge… but they totally live up to the hype. They’re stretchy but still suck you in, plus they look SO cute with a long sweater. I’m wearing a size small and they’re snug, but comfortable. (Marked down from $98.)

Halogen Faux Fur Coat – On Sale For $118.90

OMG THIS COAT. Is it practical? Maybe not. Is it the softest thing you’ve ever put on your body? Yes, yes it is. It looked big on the hanger so I tried on an XXS and I would definitely recommend sizing down or trying a petite size (they didn’t have any of those for me to try in store!). Adam has already reminded me that I don’t need it… but I still might add it to my cart today because it’s just so cozy and extra. Anyone else going to snag it, too?! (Marked down from $179.)

Halogen Faux Leather Moto Jacket – On Sale For $85.90

Let me first say, this jacket looks SO much better in person than online! I tried on the XS and while the sleeves were a little long, the rest of the fit was really great. I also loooove the color! It’s fun and different, but still can work as a neutral with a lot of clothes in your closet. (Marked down from $129.)

Madewell Ripped High Waist Crop Jeans – On Sale For $84.90

See description of these under the first outfit!

Halogen Bold Plaid Coat – On Sale for $169.90

I debated sharing this coat at all, but I think it’s important to know that this is NOT FOR PETITES! If you’re anything like me, you might have gravitated towards the colors, but unfortunately you’re just going to be disappointed.
That being said, if you’re a few (or a LOT of) inches taller than me, this coat is so pretty and you should definitely try it! I’m already jealous 😉 (Marked down from $259.)

Treasure & Bond Leather Biker Jacket – On Sale For $199.90

I bought a leather jacket is Barcelona earlier this year, so I’m not in the market right now – but if I was looking to invest in one, this one would certainly be a contender. The leather is really thick and the moto details are subtle (sometimes they can feel too edgy for me). I’m wearing an XS and the sleeves are a little long, otherwise the fit is great! (Marked down from $329.)

Rails Jasmine Print Dress – On Sale For $118.90

I looove Rails as a brand – I got this plaid shirt from the Anniversary Sale a few years ago and it’s still one of my favorites (seen here). I’ve never tried their dresses before, but this one totally won me over! They only had a size small in store (I’ll order an XS), but I was still able to shimmy the smocked part up to my natural waist to make it work for my petite self. I also love that I can wear it on a chilly summer night, or style them with over the knee boots in the fall/early winter. So versatile! (Marked down from $178.)

Halogen Banded Sleeve Top – On Sale For $45.90

I was honestly worried that I’d be swimming in this top, but it is SO CUTE tucked into this skirt! They have it in black as well, but this gold color is so striking in person, especially with the slightly puffy sleeves. I forgot to take a picture of this tag, but I’m pretty sure I tried on the XS and it was still roomy, so I’d order your normal size! (Marked down from $69.)

Halogen Tweed Miniskirt – On Sale For $49.90

This is when I wish I still worked in an office, because I’m slightly obsessed with this skirt… and the whole outfit really! I wiggled into a 0 Petite, but it was definitely a struggle, so if I was ordering this, I’d size up to the 2 Petite. Otherwise the length was perfect and the tweed fabric is darling. Very Mad Men, no?! (Marked down from $79.)

Sweaty Betty Breeze Crop Racerback Tank – On Sale For $42.90

I grabbed this tank to wear with the leggings I wanted to try on, and while it’s a great length for us shorties, I’m not sure it’s worth $42. Just want to be honest here! (Marked down from $65.)

Zella Live In High Waist Leggings – On Sale For $38.90

I have a few pairs of Zella leggings, and they are a GREAT option if you’re on a budget. This pair is the full length, so I either have to tuck the extra fabric under or get them shortened. But don’t worry, scroll to the next photo for their cropped pair! (Marked down from $59.)

Zella Studio Crop Lite Leggings – On Sale For $35.90

I have the Live In Crops, but I might like these even better! They have the same high waist and slightly cropped length, but they’re also just a little bit more lightweight. If you’re in the market for black leggings, these are a great option! (Marked down from $55.)

Zella Hooded Fleece Jacket – On Sale For $58.90

I couldn’t resist all the cozy things, including this big fuzzy fleece! Small was smallest size they had and it was very big on me – so definitely don’t size up if you’re going to get this! It also comes in pink and white, but I like the green the best! (Marked down from $89.)

Nordstrom Short Pajamas – On Sale For $35.90

My sister-in-law just told me that I need these pajamas when she stayed with us a few weeks ago, so I HAD to try them on! I like my PJs to be a little roomy, so I tried on the small, and they are amazing. So crazy soft – and they come in navy, too! (Marked down from $55.)

BP. Cozy Shorts – On Sale For $18.90

DEFINITELY getting these! When I cleaned out my closet this Spring, I realized that I barely have any shorts to sleep/lounge in! These are very soft and come in this cute heart print or solid grey. They only had size medium in store, but I actually kind of love the oversized fit since it has a drawstring to hold them up. (Marked down from $29.)

PST Sunday Starter Pack Sweatshirt – On Sale For $29.90

Okay I know this silly, but as soon as my hand touched it, I knew I wanted to try it on! The XS was roomy without being too baggy, and the material is soft but lightweight. Perfect for cozy Sundays year round!

BP. Midi Slip Dress – On Sale For $38.90

I’m usually not a slip dress girl, but this print (and PRICE) caught my eye. I think this would be so adorable with a skinny belt around the waist and a leather jacket! I have the XS on here, and it’s definitely more of a maxi on me… but I don’t really mind! (Marked down from $59.)

Row A Mini Dress – On Sale For $33.90

There are multiple leopard midi dresses in this sale, but I steered away from them because I knew they’d look more like a maxi on me. So, when I saw this little mini dress, I was so excited! I’m wearing a size XS here and it was a little snug getting on, but the length is great. (Marked down from $55.)

ASTR Lace Midi Dress – On Sale For $58.90

I’ve seen this dress on SO many people (including one of my friends at the wedding last weekend!!), so I was honestly surprised to see this was part of the sale! I always assumed I should stay away because of the length, but I actually loved it on me. If you have a wedding this Summer/Fall, I highly recommend giving it a try! I’m wearing an XS here and it was a little bit of a tight zip, but it still fit! (Marked down from $89.)

Leith Flounce Neck Wrap Dress – On Sale For $49.90

Surprise of the sale! Not only do I mostly think of sweaters when I think of this sale, but I also don’t think I ever would have noticed this gem online. It is SO CUTE in person and because it’s a long midi length on the model, it’s a perfect maxi length on me! I’m wearing an XS, but because it’s a wrap dress, you can control how tight you want it around your waist, and how low you want the v to dip… I went a little scandalous and I like it 😉 This would be so pretty dressed up for a wedding or dressed down with a leather jacket. (Marked down from $75.)
