Here's Exactly What I Bought at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

I know you are probably sick of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale posts. I'm sick of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale posts. (That's why I didn't do any sort of preview beforehand!) That said, I did just shop it (logged on right at 12:30--LOL!), and I wanted to show you exactly what I bought in case you're looking for anything similar or need some ideas.

Note: This was actually the first year that I was able to shop the pre-sale! I've never been a cardholder, so I usually have to wait until the regular sale starts, and then it's always super annoying because all the best stuff that all the bloggers have been posting about is already sold out.

I haven't had a Nordstrom card in the past, because I have a thing against store credit cards--I typically don't believe in them. BUT I realized that the early access makes such a huge difference, so I decided to get one just this once. I don't expect to use my Nordstrom card for anything besides early access to the sale, and I'll pay it off immediately. If you want to shop the good stuff in the sale and are considering getting one, too, I do think it's totally worth it. And you get approved right away--and can shop right away!

Anyway, here's what I bought! (You can click directly on the photos, or scroll down for prices and info about each one...) :) 

Happy shopping!

BP Jogger Sweatpants: ($31.90, regular price: $49) These slim, leopard print pants are really fun and such an amazing deal.

Treasure & Bond Pleated Top: ($45.90, regular price: $69) Love the versatility of this one; it would be super cute for day or night. And the sunny yellow color is so pretty!

Halogen Crewneck Sweater: ($45.90, regular price: $69) A great everyday sweater in a range of colors. I got one of the striped ones, but they have nice solids, too.

Something Navy Flecked Crewneck Sweater: ($49, regular price: $79) I love that this chunky sweater is like a great basic but with a twist: There are cool little flecks woven in the fabric that almost look like sprinkles!

Halogen Lace Detail Blouse: ($49.90, regular price: $79) I'm always looking for great tops to wear with jeans for a night out. This one is so pretty and will be perfect for date nights this fall.

Vince Camuto Stud Trim Hammered Satin Blouse: ($65.90, regular price: $99) Such a good going-out top, and such an insanely good price! I love the stud details. I got the pale pink, but it comes in a bunch of other great colors, too.

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Lite Island Cardigan: ($72.90, regular price: $110) I've written before about my intense love for the Barefoot Dreams Circle Cardigan (SO. FREAKING. SOFT AND COZY.). Well. This was such a good deal that I decided to try this style, too. 

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Circle Cardigan: ($76.90, regular price: $116) Ok, confession: I got two Barefoot Dreams cardigans...! I already own this one in silvery gray and black, but since it's one of my all-time favorite things, I couldn't resist snatching up another one in the light grayish-blue shade.

Nike Air Zoom Fearless Flyknit 2 Training Sneaker: ($96.90, regular price: $130) My black and white Flyknits are my absolute favorite pair of sneakers (so comfortable and really, really good-looking), so it was a must to snatch up this bronze-y color at this (incredible) price.

Free People Softly Structured Knit Tunic: ($99, regular price: $148) Love me a big cozy sweater for fall. This one is so good with leggings or skinny jeans.

That's it! Hope you guys scoop up some great stuff. (And if you get any of these things, too, let me know!)
