  • Nordstrom Anniversary Shopping Recommendations

    I cannot resist sharing my Nordstrom Anniversary shopping recommendations with you. Since I already perused the catalog, I had a good idea of the items I wanted to see up close.

    Visit my prior post on Shop Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. So, today I headed to Nordstrom in Burlington, Massachusetts to meet up with a friend for a day of shopping.

    Nordstrom Anniversary Shopping

    As I shopped several departments in the store, I found some areas didn’t have anything of interest to me. When I first entered the store, I headed to hosiery, accessories, and handbags. I didn’t find anything of interest to me.

    Next, I headed to the Women’s shoe department. For me, my favorite was the Stuart Weitzman bootie below. This bootie is in a beautiful amaretto and is very comfortable. Hint, hint to my hubby.

    Nordstrom Anniversary Shopping for Women

    From the shoe department, Rose and I headed upstairs to shop the various departments. We tried on many different items. First, one of my favorite that both Rose and I bought is the velvet T-shirt below. At the store, they only had the blue and gray color available. When I returned home, I ordered this style on-line in a pretty pink mauve color. At $22.90, this is a great item to wear now and throughout the fall and winter months.

    In the same fashion, I found many more offerings and color choices on-line than I did in the store. The James Perse 3/4 sleeve faux wrap dress below is the perfect style for date night. Also, this is available in three colorways.

    Although, both Rose and I found many different items to try on, we both ended up purchasing only a few items in the store.

    Athleisure for Women

    Since so many Women work from home and lead busy lifestyles, the athleisure trend is now a wardrobe staple. No matter what your hair color is, you will feel comfortable in the brunette or blonde heart jogger and sweatshirt below.

    Nordstrom Anniversary Shopping for Men

    Of course, we cannot forget the Men in our lives. Or, perhaps you’re one of my Male followers. Because I spent a good amount of time in the Men’s department, the following styles were some of my favorites. Burberry’s signature plaid is a great addition for the stylish man.

    In addition, the styles below are some other great options. The Fidelity relaxed jeans in a true black wash are a great option to wear casually or after 5.

    Conclusion

    Because the best items sell out quickly, I recommend shopping early. Also, something else to keep in mind is Nordstrom has a great return policy. With this in mind, you can start your holiday shopping early.

    As always, I welcome your comments on your favorite finds at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
