What I Actually Bought from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
I’m not here to discuss the irony of deciding to do a No Shop Challenge in 2020 and then getting stuck at home with nowhere to go during a pandemic and somehow still managing to buy three things during a sale that I historically have been so irritated by that I have actually avoided the Internet for the month of August. I am here to tell you what I bought at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year, pretty much for the first time ever. I just found out that the sale ends today, so here we are.
These boots are so pretty in person, and they’re even more comfortable. I usually wear a 7 or 7.5 but I got them in an 8 and they fit really well. I like that you can dress them up or down, and they are totally waterproof!
Just a solid slouchy sweater, which I can’t get enough of. I pretty much live in leggings and sweaters like these with a tank top or tee underneath all fall and winter long. This one is long and soft and thin enough that you won’t get overheated wearing it all day.
I have never been able to get a pair of the Spanx faux leather leggings before they sell out so I decided to try these ones instead. They are fleece-y inside and look really nice. I really like them. (I ordered a small but had to exchange for a medium because I couldn’t get my butt into them—not sure if that’s a me or them issue, but it’s something to keep in mind when ordering.)
My rules for buying stuff over the years have become pretty straightforward:
Can I wear it every day and style it in many different ways?
Does it come in black?
I’m mostly excited about the boots, since we are soon moving to a place with weather and I think I’ll be able to get some good use out of them. They are also comfortable and stable enough that I think I’ll be able to chase a toddler around in them, which is fun because I really haven’t worn a heel since she became mobile.
That’s all from me! While we’re talking about shopping, I also wanted to let you know that Equilibria is having a pre-Labor Day sale and offering 30% off everything on their site when you use the code FRECKLEDITALIAN (not just for new customers!) until September 3. As always, let me know if you have any CBD questions—I’d love to help!
