Wear Now, Wear Later: Best Sale Picks Still in Stock
Whether it’s a little summer update or a jumpstart on your fall wardrobe, it’s a great time to save on pieces you can wear now and later. I’ve rounded up some summer-to-fall styles on sale that will have staying power in your wardrobe.
The Anniversary Sale is still on, and these pieces are still in stock!
If you’re a fan of Vince, there’s quite a wide selection of items in the sale, and many are still available in most sizes!
I wanted to show you these Vince pull-on pants again, now that I’ve had them hemmed to my preferred length. I’ve styled them here with a J.Crew cardigan (tied) and shell, (also on sale) and these favorite Vince jelly slides. The pants are still available in almost all sizes in this amber color as well as black. The fabric is a knit that doesn’t seem to wrinkle or crease, and the pants run true-to-size.
Run true-to-size, though if you have a wider foot, you may want to size up 1/2
These rag & bone sneakers were one of your top picks during the early days of the sale. They’ve been restocked in several sizes, so if they’re still on your wish list, you’ll want to check back! I LOVE mine and have been wearing them often!! These Vince sneakers have a similar look, and are still available in several sizes. And a friend of mine snapped up these Dolce Vita sneakers and loves them.
A deeper dive into the Nordstrom sale yielded some really good finds for cooler seasons ahead…
This wool-blend “cardi jacket” from Vince is a softly structured piece in navy. I’m wearing a Small here which is too large for me; I have the X-Small on order. The fabric is soft and it’s quite comfortable!
Run true-to-size
I was so excited to find these Aquatalia ankle boots, as I’ve been on the hunt for a weatherproof style with a higher, slim shaft. These are SO comfortable, and have a lug sole for good traction on slick surfaces. They’re also available in Black and a lighter brown suede, and most sizes are still available in those colors. Also from Aquatalia in the sale, some classic knee boots, HERE and HERE. (Most sizes/colors still in stock.)
And some of my favorite beauty buys are still in stock!
I love these “warm & spicy” fragrances from Maison Margiela! They’re perfect for fall. I’ve used Augustinus Bader’s “Rich Cream” and wanted to try some of their other products, so grabbed this discovery set. Oribé Texturizing Spray is one of the few products I use on my fine hair, so this double set is a good opportunity to stock up.

I agree with your friend about the Dolce Vita sneakers! Last year I tried on a dozen different brands and these were the instant best for me, very cushiony and supportive. Those Vince pants look so great on you.
Thanks, Lydia!
Hi Susan: did you find the Aquatalia boots TTS?
Yes!
You look great in that outfit! Do you think those spice Vince pants work for an Autumn? Thank you for the sale ideas!
Hi Karen, thanks! Yes, they would absolutely work for an Autumn.
Love your leopard cardigan and she’ll (is that what you call a sleeveless top? Never knew that).

Thanks, Greetje! Some people also call it a “tank,” but to me a tank top has thinner shoulder straps.
