The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in full swing, and I am patiently waiting my turn to shop. If you haven’t checked out my “Best of” post yet, you can read all about the best of the sale here.

I plan on snapping up the yellow sweater, golden boots, and earrings shown above. The sale this year is a mix of summer basics, pre-fall items, and closet staples. I usually recommend stocking up on closet staples during this sale, but for me personally, I don’t need anything. Therefore, I plan to grab a couple pre-fall items to kick off my fall capsule wardrobe which is still in the planning phases.

Golden accessories have been a hot trend for a couple of years now. For the fall season, it looks like we will be seeing even more golden handbags and footwear. I am loving the handbag shown above as it comes with two straps and it is just the right size for daily use. The boots from the Nordstrom Sale seem perfect for fall too since they offer a golden tone and classic boot silhouette. The wooden heel makes them a little bit casual, which is just my style. Love that!

Hobo handbags and small handbags are still flying off store shelves and will remain hot as move through the remainder of 2022 and into 2023. Look at a change as we move into 2023 on “how to wear your handbag.” Shoulder bags are starting to go back to being worn over the shoulder as we move away from wearing them cross body. Keep that in mind as you adjust your straps! I am having a hard time with it! haha, I love wearing my bags cross body. It really is convenient. We shall see if the trend takes off, or if consumers are stubborn and continue to wear their shoulder bags cross body. What are your thoughts on this trend?

Summer is in full swing, and we are all looking to fill our wardrobes with warm weather items and great travel pieces. This week, cross body bags and sneakers have been popular as they are the ideal items for travel and exploring on a nice summer day. Of course, staying cool and looking cool go hand in hand, which is why the chain pouch, and the basket bag, are also popular right now.

More people are going back to the office, and traffic is really looking like it was two years ago! This means we all need to ramp up our office attire. This blazer vest is perfect for staying cool on a warm day yet looking professional and powerful at the office. Love that! It also looks very chic with shorts or jeans. Love that too!

We don’t always want to wear shorts on warm and casual days. This cool summer dress is priced under $50 and perfect for a casual day this summer season. I love that it comes in so many color choices! I purchased blue, black, and striped. Love!

Stay tuned! The annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is coming up a little bit earlier this year. The preview is already online and the sale starts next week! I’ll post my favorites from the sale for you next week. There are a couple really cute handbags at amazing prices, and the fall boots look good again this year. I also found some fabulous coats.

Take an inventory of what you have in your closet and make a list of what you think you might need for fall, that way you don’t overshop during the sale. It’s so easy to buy too much when the prices are so good! I’ll curate my favorites for you so you don’t have to sort through everything, and buy too much! Here is a sneak peek at what I found so far:
