What’s On My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Wish List
As I mentioned in my last post, I’m seeing a lot more items in this year’s sale preview that have piqued my interest. Not show-stoppers, necessarily, but some good, wearable pieces that have potential to be long-term wardrobe investments. So I wanted to share a few items from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that I’ve added to my wish list.
If you’re a Nordstrom cardholder, you’ll be able to shop as early as today depending upon your Nordy Club status. While many items do sell quickly, there are often re-stocks during the sale, so I recommend using the Wish List feature to keep track of your favorites.
Here’s what’s on my wish list….
rag & bone striped polo sweater
There are a lot of good looking pieces from rag & bone in the sale, including this cotton-blend polo sweater. Based on recent sweater “buys and try’s” from this brand, I’d suggest sizing down if you’re unsure.
I bought a pair of these Dre jeans (un-cuffed) a couple of years ago during the sale, and they’re still one of my most often-worn pairs. The description says “low rise,” but they fit as a mid-rise on me. The cuffed detail adds a bit of insouciance for a casual look. (And yes, wear them with loafers!! These would be good. Or these.)
I can always use more long-sleeve tees, and love the color and v-neck on this one.
I’m really loving slingbacks this season for adding refinement to casual outfits. The suede finish dials down the formality, and adds textural interest. Also available in black and red leather (also tempting!!) and navy suede.
Vince shoes tend to run 1/2 size large, just FYI.
L’Agence coated denim crop jeans
One of my very best purchases from last year was a pair of coated denim jeans, and I wouldn’t mind adding another pair to the mix. The “cropped” length on these will be ankle length on me, and I love that chocolate brown color!
The knit blazer is also quite good, be aware that it runs small.
I love the look of these, which have presence without being too huge. I’m hoping they won’t be too heavy.
Also available in silver for those of you with cool seasonal palettes.
Paul Green is one of those shoe brands that fits me consistently and comfortably. They’re spendy though, so if there’s a chance to pick up a pair on sale, I’ll try it. I like the lighter color soles on these which make them feel more transitional-season-appropriate. They’re are also available in black.
I love my Diptyque candles, so always check to see if there are any offered in the sale. This 4-piece set includes a bunch of my favorites!
A “going out” top that’s not frilly or fussy? Sign me up! Sizes XX-Small to XX-Large.
And finally, these are calling my name. 😂 Fingers crossed they won’t be too big…

I look forward to your feedback on the Vince slingbacks — I had taken them off my wish list when I read the description that said velcro closure. I then watched the salesperson video and found the strap had elastic, not velcro. Either way, the closure seems to hit right at the ankle bone. Thanks for letting us know how you find it in person.
I have one of the Halogen vests on my Wish List. There are two styles in the Anniversary Sale: single button, square neck and a double breasted trench vest. I hope I like one for Autumn.
Unless you have short legs that make the cropped pants ankle-length, I think crops are way past their sell-by date, and should be retired! It’s not a good look with a blazer, just looks awkward unless you pair them with knee-length boots.
The gold earrings are probably not heavy, as they’re likely hollow. I have a similar pair, and love them.
A bit late to your post and several of the items are already sold out! (presumably from the Ambassador and Icon members who were able to purchase early). Maybe they read your list.
Hi Kathryn, it’s early in the sale, so many items may get restocked. I always suggest bookmarking or adding to your wish list and checking back daily during the sale.
I’d love to see some picks for the non-Autumns among us. I’d look like death in a lot of these colors (for anyone who doubts “your colors” are a thing!) I’m a summer, personally. I know it’s a fall sale which means lots of autumnal colors by default. I currently mostly wear blue just to make it easier.
Hi rb, these are picks for my own wardrobe (Golden Spring). Did you see my prior post, How to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (and some of my top picks…)? Many of the pieces shown there are in cool palette colors.
Thanks! I had missed the post. I put the Caslon knit blazer in navy onto my list immediately. I would like that Rag & Bone edged cardigan too but it’s sold out for us mere mortals. I will keep stalking!
