Happy Monday all! You’re probably thinking “Really Becca? Fall? It’s 100 degrees outside!” My response to that is, it’s never too early to start getting your fall wardrobe essentials, especially with Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale starting on Thursday (for card holders). Sale opens to everyone on July 21. More details on this in a second.
The first thing I recommend doing is think back to last fall/winter. Were there any items you wish you had? A pair of booties, some basic leggings, a heavier jacket? Pinterest is always a great place for outfit inspiration.
Then go through your closet and see if anything needs to be replaced. Wore out those ankle booties last year? Well now is the time to find new ones.
Next, make a list of things you need to pick up between now and the cold weather. Keep the list with you so if you plan to be at the mall or out running errands you can refresh your memory on what to be on the lookout for. Saving the list on your phone is a good idea.
Lastly, keep your eyes open everywhere you go. You never know when the perfect piece is going to be somewhere you least expect it.
Tops you can layer
Sweaters of varying lengths and style
Outerwear: vests, jackets, blazers
Bottoms: jeans, leggings, suede or corduroy skirts, wool blend pants
Shoes: booties, knee high boots, duck boots or snow boots (If you live or are traveling somewhere it snows), suede pumps
Accessories: scarves (plaid are my fav for fall/winter), beanies, felt hat, tights
When you hear the term sale you think of outgoing, outdated merchandise. Basically things stores are trying to get rid of. Not the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! It’s new stuff to prepare you for fall/winter. Which is WHY I’m sharing this fall wardrobe essentials post with you before the sale begins. Included in the Nordstrom sale are some items you can wear now. Not to mention the savings on huge brands like Tory Burch, Kendra Scott, Stuart Weitzman, Sam Edelman, and Rebecca Minkoff.
If you do plan to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale make sure you shop early, don’t hesitate on a purchase because it may be gone, and take advantage of the free shipping and free returns. Don’t know what size? Order two and send one back for free!
As a preview of the Anniversary Sale, I looked through their women’s catalog and picked out items I hope to add to my fall wardrobe. Of course I shared my picks with you below 🙂
Once the sale begins I will do my best to share my favorites on IG stories. Follow me! @lexiandlady

Happy Thursday everyone! I wanted to get this post up early so you can fill your shopping cart before the long weekend and before hot items sell out. Do you have plans for the 3 day weekend? Mine are to sit and do nothing! 🙂 Who knew being an adult would be so exhausting. No one told 4 year old me that. The last two weeks have been pretty rough personally, but I wake up each morning, set my mind to something, and then by willpower make it through.
Last week I shared my picks for the Loft and Ann Taylor sales. Don’t forget to catch some good items while you can. I placed my order last night! Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale started on Wednesday and goes through June 4. Here are my picks in three categories; women’s clothing, women’s shoes, and handbags and accessories. Everything I have shared below is under $100. Below the picture are product widgets that take you directly to the product’s website.
What I like about Nordstrom is the large selection of items and brands they have. Plus free shipping and free returns doesn’t hurt 😉
Plaid Blouse | Bell Sleeve Off the Shoulder Blouse | Eyelet Bell Sleeve Top | Ruffle Hem French Terry Top
Off the Shoulder Dress | Tiered Lace Dress | Lace Skirt | Slit Hem Skinny Jeans
Ankle Strap Pump | Studded Tassel Sandal | Jessica Simpson Wedge | Peep-Toe Sandal
Fringe Clutch | Stone Tassel Earrings | Beaded Multistrand Statement Necklace | Retro Sunglasses
Happy shopping! Until next post…xoxo Becca
