Kailan's 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Haul Review

Kailan's 2018 Nordstrom Sale Haul Try-On
Usually when I order clothes online, I always return at least one item. Not this time! My Nordstrom Sale picks did not fail me and I'll tell you now: if there are sizes left in any of these items, go for it! Since the stock is dwindling down at this point, I have suggestions for alternatives, along with some quick styling ideas!



Get the Look for Less: Ashlee Simpson's Red Floral Blouse and Wide Leg Cropped Pants

Ashlee Simpson Red Floral Blouse and Wide Leg Pants Look for Less
Ashley Simpson wears a bold pair of wide leg cropped pants and a red floral blouse, and we don't hate it. Though the pants look like they might need some ironing, the belt is super flattering and the snake print pumps create an edginess with mixed prints. The Michael Kors pumps we found are on sale from $135 down to $65! But the real question here is: would you rock pants like these?



Lily James' Floral One Shoulder Top and Pink Trousers Look for Less

Lily James Floral One Shoulder Top Look for Less
Who here is a Mama Mia fan? We're pumped about the new movie and also one of its stars, Lily James, in this Hellessy one shoulder floral blouse and pink trousers - that sash is so fun! She stays on the ultra-feminine color vibes with pink pumps, a classy updo, and cat-eye sunglasses. Her exact clutch is on sale for $99 from Barneys New York, but this velvet one from Nordstrom Rack looks luxurious enough to pass for a more expensive piece.



Kristin Chenoweth's Travel Outfit and Pink Suitcase for Less

Kristin Chenoweth Travel Outfit and Pink Suitcase for Less
Actress Kristin Chenoweth doesn't use travel as an excuse to slack on her wardrobe game. There's nothing worse than tight pants on a flight, so boyfriend jeans will be your friend - and you'll still look like you made an effort to get dressed! If you're going to wear a sheer top like Kristin's, be sure to wear a cute bralette or even a cami if that's past your comfort zone. We couldn't help but spot the pink luggage she has, and this Guess one we found is on sale from $400 down to $160! Not only is it a screaming deal, but you'll definitely spot it first at baggage claim amidst the zillion other black suitcases.



Get the Look for Less: Olivia Palermo in Max Mara Blazer and Pants + Louboutin Heels

Olivia Palermo White Blazer and Pants Look for Less
Olivia Palermo stuns in full-on white and sexy heeled sandals! Her embellished Louboutins add a playful element to the professional vibes of her blazer and pants, both by Max Mara. Elegant teardrop earrings and a unique box clutch are the perfect little touches of interest that still don't steal from the outfit itself. We love that she kept her makeup very natural and curled her short hair for a fuller look!
