Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Splurge vs. Save

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale save vs. splurge
I love accessible, affordable fashion. I love finding a good deal on a great product, therefore justifying a splurge. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale—which ends Sunday!—allows me to make purchases I wouldn’t otherwise consider, simply because the deal is just too good! But for the deals I still can’t quite justify in my budget, I can always count on a good dupe to provide the same fashionable feeling.

This put-together look made completely from Anniversary Sale items can be replicated with dupes and save you even more! This Julia Jordan floral print midi dress is giving me major fall vibes, and this Old Navy version hits those same notes, at just $50.

Paired with a white cowboy boot, these Dolce Vita boots from Nordstrom are almost half price in the anniversary sale! And the $45 versions from Tillys are just as trendy.

Top off the look with a wide brim hat, from the tried and true Treasure & Bond, or an equally cute option from Amazon.

Completing the glow up is a universally flattering pink blush. The iconic NARS blush duo in orgasm has a longstanding reputation for excellence and quality in the blush game. But I think this up and coming Pixi On the Glow stick in shade Fleur might have its own place in the blush hall of fame.

It’s not too late to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, or find some dupes of your own!
