By the time you’re reading this, the #Nsale will officially be open to all cardholders! For those without a card, public access will open up on July 20th!
Overall, I think the sale is pretty good but it does have a lot of repeats. So if you’ve shopped the sale a lot the last 5 or so years like I have, you might not be buying a ton this time around. Lots of items are this year’s version of a certain item (like taupe booties) BUT I will say the items I’ve picked below I do think are the best of the hundreds and hundreds of items that are part of the sale.
Set a budget and use this list a guide to think about what you want to add to your fall wardrobe while it’s at a discounted price 🙂 I think there’s a lot of great fall staple pieces you can wear over and over throughout the colder seasons.
I’ve organized it all by category for you! Stay tuned for my try on sessions coming to stories soon and I’m also doing a post with some of my most popular fall outfits and items you can buy from the sale to recreate them!
SHOES
Of course I had to start with shoes because my love for shoes runs deep. This is a great time to shop for high quality knee high boots, over the knee boots, booties, and fall mules/flats. I’m personally in the market for a pair of leopard booties, black leather booties, and I did order the tan tall boot! I did get a chance to go into stores for about 20 minutes last night and the shoes were by far my favorite section! Lots of prints and variations of styles.
TOPS, SWEATERS, AND CARDIS
I love a good turtleneck sweater and cardigan 😉 My top picks from this category are this tunic sweater (I got two colors because I know my FP sweaters are the ones that get the most use) and this oversized cardigan. I’m still deciding between the camel and cream but it’s a close call right now. If you didn’t get your hands on the black and white plaid button up from last year, highly recommend grabbing the one below! Also, I finally got my first Rails plaid shirt so I’m excited to see what the hype is about.
OUTERWEAR
Probably my second most purchased area year after year. I always use this sale to invest in good outerwear. Last year I got a patagonia, a black wrap wool coat, and the perfect camel coat. I’m sad to say this year they don’t have any of those! They do have my patagonia but it’s hooded this year and they didn’t bring it back in white. This year’s version of my camel coat was very disappointing in quality and so thin – nothing like the one from last year. My top picks from this section are the classic trench coat, the suede moto jacket, and the patagonia pullover. I’m also deciding between a few of the black leather jacket options I rounded up. These were my favorites from the ones I saw on the sale!
JEANS AND JUMPSUITS
I finally tried AG jeans this year and they’re super flattering! Mine are distressed dark wash but these undistressed ones from the sale are the perfect wash for fall. I grabbed a pair of Good American jeans to try since the price is great right now.
Also a huge PSA – the spanx faux leather leggings are back!! They go with so much and were one of my most worn items last fall/winter. These will go the fastest so size up one size and add to cart! They do have a petite option this year but mine are regular size from last year. You can see how they fit here and here. As you can see there’s a little bit of bunching so if you’re 5’3 and below I’d go for petite sizing.
SKIRTS AND DRESSES
Love a good suede or corduroy skirt for fall paired with a sweater or turtleneck 🙂 These were my favorite skirts from the sale.
LOUNGE AND COMFY
Let’s be honest this is my favorite section.. I’ve been wearing my new barefoot dreams cardigan since I got home and I might just sleep in it. I got this one last year and became a believer so this year, I grabbed this more oversized one and I’m eyeing the blanket too! Sometimes the blankets do go on sale on Nordstrom Rack so it’s lower on my list of priorities for shopping the sale. The cardigans though… get them. Top 10 purchases for sure!
ATHLEISURE
Love love love Zella high waist leggings and of course you already know how I feel about the Spanx leggings. The swift runs are really comfy sneakers too I have them in two colors (size down half a size for those). This is also a great time to shop Patagonia or North Face since they’re rarely discounted.
ACCESSORIES
If you’re missing a hat for the fall season, they have a few great ones on sale. Brixton is my favorite brand I have a few of their hats and love the fit. Just follow the sizing chart to measure your head circumference to find your size. My other top picks for accessories are these mirrored aviators. you can see them here and a dupe for my Tiffany’s necklace I get questions about every day. It’s the only necklace I wear every day and the perfect dainty piece.
BEAUTY
I only really did picks of beauty items I already have and love. These deals are always such a good deal and you either get double the product or fun added items like a travel case for the beauty blender. I got mine last year and its been amazing for traveling. I like this year’s clear glittery case more than mine though! Also, my lash serum is basically 2 for the price of 1 right now – they’ve made my natural lashes way longer and I love wearing mascara now.
Whew that was long but I hope you enjoyed my top picks from the sale! Can’t wait to get my orders in so I can share more sizing info and overall thoughts. Feel free to DM me if you have questions.
