Shop the Nordstrom Sale with Me & Ali-Shaun
Hi friend! I’m so excited to share our Nordstrom Anniversary Sale dressing room try on with you! Today will be Part 1 and I hope you join us tomorrow for Part 2!
Ali-Shaun and I shopped the sale together and, as always, had a great time hanging out together. I was worried about my hand hurting, but thankfully, it started to feel progressively better throughout the day!

My Size Reference: I’m short (5’1) and I typically wear size 0P/25 jeans, XSP/XS in tops and dresses.
Ali-Shaun Size Reference: She’s taller (5’4), and usually wears a size 8-10 in jeans, and Medium/Medium Petite or size 8 in tops and dresses.

This short sleeve sweater top was so soft and perfect for our Houston weather. Clearly great minds think alike because we both grabbed it to try on. 😉
Ali-Shaun wasn’t a big fan of the fit of these of AG Mari jeans, I think a size down would have been better.

I really like this ribbed bodysuit. It scoops in the back for an open back look. We both really liked the feel of the Good American jeans, they were so comfortable and cute with the raw edge hem.
Ali-Shaun loved her look, but ended up sizing down to a Small in the top.

I had to try on a few essentials like this white long sleeve crewneck. It’s lightweight and full length, so perfect if you’re tall.
Ali-Shaun was really smitten with the feel of this cashmere sweater and Mother jeans. She typically wears a 30, but these were such a cute color and fit that she took them home with her. In her words, “they make your butt look good,” which is always a plus for jeans! 😉

This sweater vest top also came in a beige and brown which I typically would gravitate toward, but they didn’t have my size. I like the navy, especially as a transitional piece you can wear it with or without a top underneath.

How fun is this denim on denim look?! The lettuce trim on this chambray top is just adorable, and lightweight enough to wear through the warmer months.
Ali-Shaun pulled pieces with going into the office on her mind, and I think this is a really fun look for that. You can be professional and still show your personality as you dress it up.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS

I really liked these jeans by KUT from the Kloth, but sadly they were just too long. I seem to run into this problem a lot with this brand in particular, so if you’re on the shorter side I would opt for petite when possible.
Top Fit: Ali-Shaun is wearing a Medium
Jeans Fit: Ali-Shaun is wearing an 8
Another great workwear top. The puff sleeves are adorable, and give a playful feminine touch to a tradition button up top. Ali-Shuan also really liked these ballet flats, but would prefer a half size down from her usual size, but they didn’t have it in store.

I really enjoy BP’s cardigans so I knew I would like this one. I’ve had one for years and I still always reach for it. Believe it or not, but this was the only cardigan that came home with me!

Can you tell Ali-Shaun was a fan out this outfit, but these jeans in particular! They’re by Rag & Bone, a brand neither of us have tried before. She was very pleasantly surprised!
We ran into another ballet flat sizing issue again, these were also a half size too big. Ali-Shaun asked if her feet could be shrinking. Ha!

This is the same long sleeve crewneck I tried on earlier, but in this deep rust color. I thought it was soo pretty and again really liked the fit.
I love Mother denim, so of course wanted to try on another pair. I usually wear a 25 in their denim, but that wasn’t available in store so sized up one, which fit fine but I prefer my true size.

Two thumbs up! This is a jean jacket that stops at the elbow, with a puffed sleeve. So stinkin’ cute. This is perfect for an extra layer in the summer, and you could probably even wear this buttoned up as a top.

This textured cardigan was so cozy, and I really liked the fit and color.
Side note, the buttons felt impossible to undo! If you’ve seen my Instagram stories, then you know I was dealing with a wrist issue, so I had Ali-Shaun help me but even she had some trouble!
Blazer Fit: Ali-Shaun is wearing a Small
Pants Fit: Ali-Shuan is wearing a Medium
I really liked the pants, but Ali-Shaun said she didn’t love. She sized down to a small in the blazer because the medium was very oversized. Overall, she looked like a boss in this outfit!
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS

This pattern was really fun and girly. It’s a dotted floral and I like that it’s a split neck. I gravitate toward tops like this because they’re just as easy and comfortable as a tee, but a bit elevated.

Another great sweater top if you live in a warmer area. Houston doesn’t get too cold for too long, so I like pieces like this that are easy to layer and not too bulky. This one was a favorite of mine.

Madewell always has a good selection of knits, and I really liked this white sweater. It’s in a classic pointelle that feels very feminine and timeless.
A sweater like this is so easy to dress up especially paired with these booties.

This sweater gave a little cozier of a look, so I paired it with these Ugg slippers. This outfit is just missing a hot cocoa for the final touch!

The Ugg Tasman slipper has completely taken over the past couple years and always sells out, what are your thoughts?
Dress Fit: Ali-Shaun is wearing a S/M
An immediate yes! Ali-Shaun was smitten with this dress on the rack and even more so once tried on. The lady in the dressing room next to us was also a big fan of it, and then asked to try it on as well.

Of course I had to throw on a sweater in a pop of color, this is a classic cable knit with ribbed cuffs and hem. I really like the bright lavender, especially with my brunette hair.
I’m excited to see how I style my brunette hair this fall and winter. Right now I’ve been gravitating toward yellow, I wonder what it will be in the cooler months. 🙂
Dress Fit: Ali-Shaun is wearing a Medium
This dress is so versatile, it feels like dress that is perfect for any occasion. Ali-Shaun liked the fit and how comfortable it was, but also easily dresses up.
Cardigan Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25
This v-neck cardigan has a collar, so I kept it buttoned to wear as a top. With a classic preppy polo collar and delicate stitching, it has the perfect balance of sporty and chic.
Jacket Fit: Ali-Shaun is wearing a Small
Jeans Fit: Ali-Shaun is wearing a 30
Ali-Shaun had her eyes on this jacket and was so excited to try it on, an instant love. She tried a medium on at first and was a bit disappointed with the fit. She sized down to a small and it was a perfect.
She said it will be her jacket of the season when fall comes around.
We couldn’t leave these pretty bags behind. I got the shoulder bag with braided detail which was just so cute, and Ali-Shaun got the green tote. Hers comes with a zipper pouch bag inside.
