What I Bought Round 2: Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks Under $45

Nordstrom Sale Picks Under $50 (except for the shoes)


Well guys, I went back for round two of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale - early access goes until July 19! Here's what I got mostly under $45 with the exception of the shoes. After I placed my initial order, I got notified that both the Topshop rose cardigan and the Kut step-hem jeans were sold out (BUMMER), so I decided to fill in the gaps and scoop up a few more items. I'm still tempted to get a new coat for the season - which pieces are you loving this year??

Lots of you are asking what my favorite budget buys are for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale so I wanted to dedicate a post to this cardigan! I never really used to buy things in multiples until I discovered it. But let me tell you, it is THAT good. Checks all the boxes: Comfy, cozy, and looks good with everything.

Get the Look for Less: Megan Markle's Stunning Yellow Dress and Manolo Blahnik Nude Pumps

Meghan Markle Yellow Dress Look for Less
This dress style is a ladylike classic for the books! Meghan Markle stuns in a bright canary yellow sheath dress (already sold out!) alongside her new hubby during an event in London. This was a refreshing sight, as she usually sticks to a neutral (yet still gorgeous) color palette. Perhaps Jackie Kennedy was an inspiration? This dress deserves all the attention, so nude pumps and dainty curved bar earrings will do, but we added a statement necklace and soft blue clutch to complete it and still look as splendid as a duchess!



Heidi Klum's White Floral Maxi Dress and T-Strap Sandals Look for Less

Heidi Klum White Floral Maxi Dress Look for Less
Heidi Klum looks how a boho princess should in a beautiful floral maxi dress with balloon sleeves and a deep v-neck. She cinches her waist with a belt, showing off some shape while still enjoying the loose fit. Sling a trendy cognac circle bag over your shoulder and matching t-strap sandals to keep it casual, and nothing ups your cool factor like a glossy pair of mirrored aviators!
