Free People January Tee (Sale Price: $31.90, after sale $48.00)

I got this top in white, gray, and black because it is the perfect tunic! The fabric is super soft and stretchy, and you’ll find me pairing this with skinny jeans and leggings all fall & winter long. It’s also a great layering piece.  Super versatile!  Definitely a closet staple and at that price, stock up like I did!  I’m wearing a size small.

(Black skinny jeans, blue skinny jeans, tan bag, black bag, grey booties, & black booties all included in the sale under $100)

Leith Sleek Knit Midi Dress (Sale Price: $42.90, after sale: $65.00)

This dress is seriously so perfect.  It’s got a very stretchy material which is always great, and definitely hugs in the right places. The racerback gives it a slightly more casual feel if you’d like to dress it down with sneakers & a jean jacket, but it’s definitely nice enough where you can dress it up for a nicer event!  I think I may wear this to a rehearsal dinner next month.  I’m wearing a size medium.

(Bag & Shoes also included in sale, both under $100)

Leith Ribbed Shawl Cocoon Sweater (Sale Price: $45.90, after sale: $69.00)

I got this super cozy sweater in two colors, the pink adobe and tan etherea heather.  I picked up the charcoal one in last year’s sale, so I knew I would love this one. It’s essentially exactly the same as last year’s version except this year it has the cozy ribbed detail, again making it soft & stretchy.  Are you sensing a pattern with the characteristics of the clothes I like? Ha. Must be comfy, soft, & stretchy. I’m wearing the medium.  I think I could have gotten a small, but I like to have the option to layer things underneath so this gave it a little more room for that.  I also love a more slouchy look anyways!

BP Raw Edge V-Neck Tee (Sale Price: $11.90, after sale: $17.00)

I scooped this tee in the white and the black/white stripe because it is a closet staple if there ever was one! I mean it goes without saying…t-shirts are the foundation of my wardrobe so when they’re only $11 it’s a no-brainer.  They also come in really cute solid colors like pink cedar stripe and green botanical. I’m wearing a size small.

BP Textured Stitch Pullover (Sale Price $25.90, after sale $39.00)

I got this sweater because I just love the cut of it and the waffle-like material.  It comes in a bunch of colors and it’s definitely a must for your fall closet!! It’s pretty lightweight so it’s a great transitional piece too to pair with shorts & booties like I did here. I’m wearing a size small but you could definitely size up if you wanted it a bit oversized and slouchy.

Free People Found my Friend Sweater (Sale Price: $51.90, after sale $78.00)

Okay so I know this isn’t technically under $50, but hey it’s really close! I love all things Free People and this is no exception. So soft and kinda like a sweatshirt, but a really nice fuzzy sweatshirt that you could totally just sleep in and then wake up and put pants on to be dressed for the day.  The best kind of clothes are the kinds that can double as PJs, am I right?!

(My jeans and cognac booties are also included in the sale, jeans are $72 off and boots are under $80.  You can find a similar pair of jeans only $42 here)

SHOP THE POST & ZELLA HIGH WAISTED LEGGINGS:

There aren’t many things I love more than a good pair of high waisted leggings, and these Zella High Waisted Leggings are no exception! They are high waisted, soft and stretchy, have mesh inserts and flattering lines, and the colors are perf.  They nail the athleisure look but are extremely functional and would be great for doing any of your workouts in this week’s Weekly Workout Routine!

I also love this top and it has THUMBHOLES!!  I have had an obsession with thumbholes for many years and I don’t see that going away, like ever.  They get me hook, line, and sinker.  Both the top and leggings are part of the Nordstrom Sale, and some sizes are out of stock right now but I will keep you posted on restocks!!  My shoes are also on sale in the black color.  Y’all these Nikes are so good for casual wear too, which is how I normally wear them! I pair them with leggings or jeans or even shorts.  You can’t have too many sneakers in my opinion.

Lastly, the tote bag is on sale for under $50 and it’s a great carryall type of tote that is as versatile as the leggings…use it for cute athleisure type of things, errands, etc. or use it as your everyday bag! I love the stud details on the side.  Studs are going to be really trendy this fall and winter!

I love to stock up on staples like basic tees, cardigans, jeans, etc.  I seriously love this tee so much I got it in 3 colors today and might order more.  It’s super soft and the perfect length…a little longer in the back than the front and sometimes I like to cover the booty especially if I’m wearing leggings or something.  It’s super stretchy too so I can throw it in a knot really easily, which y’all know I love a good knot!

Is anything better than a nice new leather tote?  Or a suede crossbody with the perfect detailing?  The options are so good in this year’s sale!

The post Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2017: How To Shop appeared first on Bess Harrington Carter.

The early access to the sale starts July 13th. This is where you are able to shop the sale before the general public.  You will need a Nordstrom credit or debit card to do this.  I have a Nordstrom credit card and I love it.  So many of the best things sell out during the early access, so this is a great way to not miss out.  Also, if you get approved for a Nordstrom credit card by July 9 and you make a purchase the day you’re approved, they will give you a $20 Note that you can use during the Anniversary Sale! You can apply here for a card.

Public access to the sale is July 21st-August 6th, 2017.

If you have any questions about the sale, please let me know!
