I've been trying to decide all week if I was going to do a Nordstrom sale post or not. Obviously I decided I would. Since this is my first Nordstrom Anniversary sale as a blogger, I decided to just do a small post and a more realistic post. For those of you who aren't familiar with the sale, once a year Nordstrom will have a huge anniversary sale and the items that are discounted are brand new fall pieces. Most of the items are just now coming in store and they are at a huge discount. July 20 is the first day it is open to everyone. The sale opened early for those that have a Nordstrom card. Don't tell my husband, but I signed up for one so I could get early access. I probably won't use it I just wanted to get a couple of things before they sold out, haha.

So I honestly have mixed feelings about the sale. It is awesome that all these items are at such a huge discount, but at the same time everybody will be wearing the same things all fall. I saw a lot of super cute chunky cardigans that everybody is buying, but I can probably find them way cheaper at Target or Forever 21 not on sale. If that is what the fall trend is this year, I'm sure you will be able to find them everywhere. The best thing to get at the sale in my opinion would be basics. There are a ton of cute simple tee's on sale for around $11. If you wanted to splurge on a designer item, now would be a good time. There are a lot of high end or more expensive clothing brands on sale too, so if you want something designer I would grab it.

PSA: I didn't get anything fall like you're "supposed" to do. I ended up only getting 5 items and I didn't need any of them. I saw two super cute pairs of tennis shoes on sale, a pair of Adidas and the other pair is Nike. I can always use more tennis shoes for running and for my dance fitness class, and tennis shoes don't go on sale too often. When I first ordered the Adidas I got an email the next day saying they were canceled because they were out of stock! So I ordered a different size, and I just got the email saying they shipped!! I was pretty nervous, especially since the sale opens to everyone in a few hours, but they will be here the 26th is says! Also, I just wanted to let y'all know, if you see something on sale that you absolutely can't live without, get it! Nordstrom is awesome with returns, so even if you know it isn't your size or if you aren't sure if it's your size, grab it and then you can always exchange it when your size comes back in stock. Most of these pieces will not be on sale again, or at least not this big of a discount.

Since I just ordered today and yesterday I will have to post stock pictures to show y'all what I got. I will definitely add pictures of me wearing the items to this post and on my instagram once I get them, which should be the 24th. Hopefully it will all come sooner! You can click the pictures to shop all the items or you can click the name of the items as well.

The next item I got that I am probably the most excited about is a white lace romper from the brand Socialite. I saw this romper on a blogger I follow ( Katey McFarlan Hellman) and I screenshot it so it would go to my liketoknowit app and I would have the info on it. The other day I was showing a friend how to use the liketoknowit app and clicked on the romper to show her and saw it was part of the sale! I was so excited. Then I got even more excited because my favorite youtuber Alexandrea Garza got it for her sale picks! I will add her video here so y'all can check out the rest of her picks and see the romper on. She is my favorite!

The only other clothing item I got was a pair of leggings. They are from the brand Zella and I have heard good things about them. One person that has talked about them a lot is Alex Garza, haha. I love leggings though and you can never have too many. Since I have been wanting to try them out I thought now would be the perfect time because they were a really good price. Lastly, I got yet another thing I did not need, an Impressions Vanity Co rose gold lighted makeup mirror. Out of everything I ordered I probably needed this the least, the main reason because I already have a mirror like this. It isn't this brand but it does the same thing. Honestly, the main reason I got this is because it comes with a lighted compact mirror, and maybe because it is rose gold too. The mirror I already have doesn't get real bright, so maybe this one will. It was almost $30 off.

So there is everything I bought from the sale! I thought about adding some other items that y'all might like, but I didn't want to put a whole bunch of random stuff that I wasn't going to buy myself. I was very close to buying one of those super cute chunky cardigans, but I didn't because EVERYBODY is going to have one. Actually I feel like everybody already has one from early shopping. The romper I ordered will probably be on everybody too, but I don't care about that one. It's too cute to care if everybody has it. 

Are y'all going to shop the Nordstrom sale or do you not even care about it?? Let me know in the comments!
