the nordstrom anniversary sale :: the five most versatile pieces that i’d only buy on sale

i’ll be the first to tell you, there are a million bloggers that are doing full, in-depth coverage of the nordstrom anniversary sale (you can find a lot of them via this pinterest board). i LOVE it, but i’m not here to tell you you should buy everything i have my eye on. today, i’m really focusing on the five pieces that i would only buy on sale, including that which i already own 🙂

1. the spanx faux leather leggings

SPANX<SUP>®</SUP> Faux Leather Leggings, Alternate, color, VERY BLACK

guys, i know this is on everyone’s list. i have had these leggings for YEARS and worn them at least once a week in the winter months, and they are great. there are a lot of great leggings out there, though, so i really would only buy these on sale. if you’re going to spend $100 bucks on leggings, i have a couple of other brands recommend, but for $64

2. socialite stretch satin joggers

SOCIALITE Stretch Satin Jogger Pants, Main, color, OLIVE

joggers are the ultimate mvp of pants. they fill the void where you can’t wear sweats, but want to be comfortable. dress them up for work, dress them down with a hoodie; they’re the best. read more about how much i love joggers here.

3. free people leo henley tee

FREE PEOPLE Leo Henley Tee, Main, color, PEARL MAUVE

nothing i love more than a good, oversized henley to wear with those spanx leggings! but seriously, free people makes the best flowy tops, and i’ve loved henleys ever since i was wearing some old navy/gap ones to middle school circa 2001.

4.bb dakota eldridge shirt jacket

BB DAKOTA Eldridge Shirt Jacket, Main, color, PINK PLAID

if there’s one thing everyone in this country can benefit from, besides a heavy dose of grace and humility, it’s a shacket. a shirt jacket. perfect for layering, or not, because #alabama, a shacket is a piece you can dress down with denim or wear over a dress for a fun, elevated casual look.

5. rachel parcell print tiered ruffle skirt

RACHEL PARCELL Print Tiered Ruffle Skirt, Main, color, TAN ANIMAL FLORAL

it’s leopard, it’s tiered, its beautiful. the perfect statement piece, this skirt is a showstopper. again, it’s one of those pieces i wouldn’t spend $100 on, but on sale, it should definitely come home with me 🙂

i’ll be back next week to share what i actually bought! the way i shop it, i like to pick up pieces that are memorable and that i know i’ll wear more than just this season. pink combat boots, anyone?
