Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020 Hits and Misses August 13, 2020
Okay,I thought I had more misses than I actually did, but I feel there aren’t too many hits either. Many of these are just staple items I’ve loved for years, or updates on older versions. Many items are already sold out, which is a major bummer considering it’s not even open to public access yet. I tried to find sold out items at other retailers for you, and I’ll be sure to share when I find more. I haven’t decided what I’m keeping or returning just yet, and I have a few more items on their way to me. I’ll update as I go! Also, don’t mind my unkempt office – still in the process of organizing, painting, etc. 😉
Sale Hits
MOONLIGHT PAJAMAS: I own several pairs of these and treat myself every year. They are the best Barefoot Dreams pajamas dupe I’ve found, and are so soft and comfortable. They wash incredibly well, too! My first pair is still in excellent condition!
Fit: TTS. Wearing an XS here.
FAUX SHEARLING TEDDY COAT: I feel like this is the teddy coat I’ve always wanted because it’s not super oversized and swallows you! Pretty sure we aren’t getting out much this fall and winter season, but I would totally wear this if we were.
Fit: TTS. Wearing an XS here.
LONG SLEEVE SQUARE NECK BODY SUIT: Overall, I like the fit of this bodysuit. It’s not super tight, and is very comfortable – even in the booty! I bought a size 4 which is equivalent to a 0-2 and it fits perfectly.
Fit: Pay attention to the numbers – a 4 is a 0-2.
WIT & WISDOM JEANS: These are so underrated! They have an elastic waist band and fit SO comfortable. I like that these are an ankle length for flats. Highly recommend, great mom jeans!
Fit: TTS, this is a 0
STEVE MADDEN LEOPARD FLATS: These are actually a pair I’ve owned for awhile now, and I wear them frequently in the fall. I really do love these flats more than other leopard flats I own, and they’re comfortable! A great purchase if you’re looking for a pair.
Fit: TTS.
THREAD AND SUPPLY CARDIGAN COAT: Bummed this is gone because it’s one of my faves in this haul! I feel it’s the best coatigan I’ve found, so I’m crossing my fingers it comes back for you if you’re interested. Fits so well, not too bulky, and is super soft!
Fit: TTS.

HALOGEN COAT: This coat is on the thinner side, but I love the overall style. I ordered another similar one to compare and see which I liked best (if any!) I love the length of this one.

SAM EDELMAN COAT: This coat is heavier and lined, whereas the Halogen one is not. This is a size 2, and I think it fits great! I feel a jacket like this is a classic wardrobe staple.

KORK-EASE BOOTIES: I bought a pair of these 2 years ago and wore them ALL the time. They’re incredibly comfortable if you need a good pair of boots! Could also be good for teachers who are on their feet a lot (if you’re actually going back to school).
Fit: TTS, I’m in my normal shoe size here.
TOMMY JOHN PAJAMA TEE / TOMMY JOHN PAJAMA SHORTS: I’m all about quality pajamas, as noted above. I’ve heard great things about Tommy John, so I decided to try out this set. First impressions – super comfortable and they don’t feel like they’ll be hot when I sleep!
Fit: TTS, wearing an XS in both here.
ZELLA LIVE IN JOGGER PANTS: I was skeptical about these because I didn’t like a similar pair last year, but I actually REALLY like these. And considering I’ll be wearing a lot of loungewear in the upcoming months, I’m keeping these, haha!
Fit: TTS, these are an XS.
ZELLA ORGANIC COTTON JOGGER: These are sold out, hoping they come back in stock at some point for you. Really comfortable and fit well! They have a larger waistband which is flattering.
Fit: TTS, these are an XS.
FREE PEOPLE AFTERGLOW SWEATER: I like this oversized tunic sweater to pair with leggings for fall. It’s currently sold out, but I know will come back in stock and on sale eventually. I’ll keep an eye out!
Fit: TTS, this is an XS.
SPANX LEATHER LEGGINGS (PETITE): Always a favorite of mine, last year I shared that I actually prefer the PETITE sizing because there’s not so much fabric in the legs! I’m 5’4″ with longer legs and a shorter torso, and the petite fit me well. If you’re taller than me, the regular will be just fine!
Fit: Size up 1 size. I’m wearing a S.
STEVE MADDEN LEOPARD FLATS: These are actually a pair I’ve owned for awhile now, and I wear them frequently in the fall. I really do love these flats more than other leopard flats I own, and they’re comfortable! A great purchase if you’re looking for a pair.
Fit: TTS.
CASHMERE RUANA: I really, really love the quality of this ruana. I will easily throw this over long sleeve tees or sweater for a extra layer. I like that it can be dressed up or down, too. An investment piece, but one I’ll get use out of for sure.
LONG SLEEVE SQUARE NECK BODY SUIT: Overall, I like the fit of this bodysuit. It’s not super tight, and is very comfortable – even in the booty! I bought a size 4 which is equivalent to a 0-2 and it fits perfectly.
Fit: Pay attention to the numbers – a 4 is a 0-2.

Fit: TTS.
LEITH DOLMAN SWEATER: This is a less expensive option for the above. I do like the fit and feel of the cashmere more, but this is a good budget friendly option.
Fit: TTS, this is an XS.

RIB KNIT RUANA: Currently sold out, but this is another nice drapey option. This is the warmest of the 3 ruana style cardigans I’ve shared. Great to throw over for an added layer of warmth.

Fit: TTS.
LEOPARD HUNTER BOOTIES: These caught my eye because I love leopard! Super cute, yet still neutral for fall. They fit TTS.
PATAGONIA JACKET: I needed a shorter jacket this, and thought the color of this one was fun. I’m surprised how much I like it! I initially bought an XS and exchanged it for a S because the XS was too tight in the arms. Hoping this comes back in stock, as I think it’s a great buy. Here it is for full price on another website.
Fit: Size up! I’m wearing a S here as the XS was too tight in the arms.
BAREFOOT DREAMS CARDIGAN: This is a great loungewear cardigan! The anniversary sale is a great time to buy these because they’re at a great sale price! I like the overall fit of this one. I wear them with lounge pants or even over pajamas (which we’ll be wearing a lot of, haha!)
Fit: TTS, this is an XS.
TOMMY JOHN JOGGER PANTS: These joggers are super comfy, too! I like how soft they are. I’ll wear these for lounging or as pajamas!
Fit: TTS, these are an XS.
Sale Misses
ALO LEGGINGS: I’m 5’4″ and these are just WAY too long on me. I was bummed because I like the color of these! They fit TTS in the waist otherwise, but I think they’re better suited for someone taller.
CIRCLEX COZY JOGGERS: Possibly cute on someone taller than me, but these just fall weird on my 5’4″ frame. Plus I’m sure Aerie has something similar.
SPANX BIKE SHORTS: I wanted to love these, but they were ultimately a fail. I was hoping they would be super comfortable, but I felt like they fit awkwardly in the leg. I ordered one size up, so I’ll report back once those arrive.
ZELLA LONGLINE BRA: I should’ve sized up a size in this bra, but I also don’t like how there’s no padding. I prefer light padding so my nipples aren’t high-beaming everyone if it’s cold. Just a personal preference!
RIBBED OPEN FRONT CARDIGAN: This cardigan just falls short. Too stiff and bulky. Not a personal fan. I feel I could find something much more flattering!
