I’m thrilled to share my 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary sale try-on experience with you. The process took a bit longer than expected, as some of the items I ordered online are still pending arrival. It’s a common frustration many of us can relate to – the wait for new arrivals is indeed real.
To help alleviate any uncertainty, I’ve curated a shop page featuring my top picks, including beauty essentials and boots.
Seeing how something looks in person can be just as important as reading reviews online.
As you explore these dressing room diaries, you’ll discover a few surprise hits that might not have caught my attention otherwise. My hope is that you’ll enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at my shopping experience, and I’ll be sure to update when the remaining items finally arrive.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale was a shopping extravaganza for me this year, with many exciting finds that I just couldn’t resist. One of my absolute favorites was the Gibson cardigan – it’s so soft and the color is lovely, making it perfect to wear up or down. Although I ended up returning it due to having a similar sweater in my wardrobe, it’s clear how much I love this style.
Another standout piece for me was the wrap top, which features a beautiful blush/Champagne color with a shimmery finish. It’s definitely a fall must-have, and I’m not surprised why – who wouldn’t want to wear something that looks great with jeans and a tee? Speaking of which, these under-$50 jeans are amazing for their comfort level, high-waisted fit, ripped details, and cute rear view. Just be sure to size down.
I also fell hard for the baby blue chunky sweater – it’s a color that looks fantastic year-round and matches my new Chloé bag perfectly. With its oversized fit and affordable price point, this is definitely an item worth considering. Of course, no shopping spree would be complete without a few staple tees. These ones are some of my favorites, and at just $11.90 each, it’s hard to resist grabbing a few more.
They pair beautifully with the DL1961 Emma Ripped Jeans – just size down in the tees and you’re good to go. For those who, like me, were previously skeptical of rompers/jumpsuits, I highly recommend giving this one a try. Its silky material gives it a dressy finish, and the adjustable front tie ensures a flattering fit. And at under $100, it’s an absolute steal. The Leith dress is back in a new wrap style that flatters everyone just as well as its original version.
With its affordable price point of just $33, I can see why this would be a top pick for many shoppers – including myself. Last but certainly not least, these Spanx faux leather moto leggings are absolute game-changers. Not only do they provide a flattering fit that lifts and tucks in all the right places, but they’re also wickedly stylish. I highly recommend adding them to your shopping list.
While browsing through my haul, I stumbled upon this suede waterfall cardigan from BlankNYC – it’s an item I wasn’t initially looking for, but ended up loving anyway. Finally, this silky wrap bodysuit was a bit of a risk for me, but one that paid off in the end. It’s incredibly versatile and can be styled with jeans or a black skirt, all for just $35. Paired with the Halogen cardigan, which is also on sale at an unbeatable price point, this outfit is sure to turn heads.
