My Favorite Things from the 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

I will say it. I flipping love the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. I didn’t even know what it was up until a few years ago when I bought what became a dozen amazing, stylish staples that got me through the next four years (I still wear most of them), including the $40 sweaters and boyfriend coats you all love and ask about (as seen in photo below–I kept it in two colors and don’t regret it a bit)! Oh–and boots! Ah so many good things.

This year I got… way too much. The skincare selection was bananas. Luxury serums for half the price have me sold. Oh, it’s also the time of year I stock up a few new of my favorite bras and underwear at half the price. I heard a ton of stuff was sold out, so when I finally got to sit down and browse this morning I was thrilled with how much was still available! Here are some of my favorites, including a few trending fall items I can’t wait to add to my closet!

I am picking some of my order up today, so I’ll add photos once I have them!

I didn’t get all of this; but I got quite a bit. What I got is marked with an asterisk. But others are similar items to things I’ve bought in the past that I love.
