I can’t believe it’s really time for the Fall Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I’ll be honest, the coverage of this sale has started to feel a bit less fresh, and a little more redundant. I dabbled with the idea of sharing anything at all, as to not add to the repetition, but thought it would be nice to show a few selective and classic pieces for the plus-size woman. While it seems like the same stuff, over and over, Nordstrom did switch up the inventory a bit! While this will be the extent of what I share, I wanted to show you some solid finds that I either have or will be getting myself. All are quality items to provide longevity in your closet. I was incredibly picky, so my list may seem short, but I thought with how much fluff surrounds this sale, I would really just cut to the chase!
Also, remember that this is just a sale! Nothing is necessary, it all depends on what you want, what you love and let that be the main guiding force in your selections! You can check it all out here. Early access begins now for cardholders and the sale officially opens July 28th.
QUILTED BARBOUR JACKET
Last year, I got a plus-size Barbour jacket in the Nordstrom sale. It will forever be one of the best decisions I made when it comes to the sale. I have worn Barbours since I was really little because I was an equestrian, but once I crossed into plus-sizes as an adult, I had to try and find alternatives. Recently, they extended their sizes. I have an entire review here! If you walk away with one item, let it be this.
BARBOUR RAIN JACKET
To echo my sentiments above, this rain jacket will also be an item you can look back on in five or ten years and have no regrets. This is number one on my wishlist, since I have the quilted/classic versions already. If you are seeking something classic and more versatile for the elements, this would be a great option.
VINCE CABLEKNIT SWEATER
The day that VINCE decided to extend their sizes was a day that I cried. I actually remember crying. It felt like luxury brands were finally listening that women with curves and women with plus-size bodies actually want luxury items, too. We matter, too. Last year, I got a VINCE sweater in the sale and it’s one of my favorite staples. You just look so elevated and chic in them, so worth it.
MADEWELL PLUS SIZE JEANS
Madewell was one of the first larger retailers to expand their size range and they actually began with denim. Over the years, their proportions in the denim department have gotten better and better. You don’t see sales often, so if you are in the neighborhood for some new jeans, I would opt for these.
SPANX LEATHER LEGGINGS
I won’t go too far into detail on these, I have an entire blog post dedicated to them here. But, I absolutely love the Spanx faux leather leggings. I think they look really fun with super preppy pieces like cable knit sweaters and chic with a tee and blazer combo, too. Really, they work with so much and are an elevated staple (I usually size up in all leggings).
BASIC QUALITY TEE
I snagged last year’s version of this tee and still love it. I think a great cotton-blend tee is something you’ll always reach for in your closet, and if you can get a few on sale that will carry you through the seasons, it’s not a bad idea. I love the stripes and dark neutrals here.
CLASSIC PAJAMA SET
I have the long version of these pajamas and they are super soft! They rival Tommy John (my favorite pajamas ever) and the proportions keep the buttons flush across the chest without adding too much extra room in the midsection. I would recommend these to anyone who is looking for quality pajamas that are easy to care for.
WACOAL RED CARPET STRAPLESS BRA
I got this bra several years ago and haven’t looked back since. Hands down, the best strapless bra for larger chests (and hey, maybe smaller chests, too!) This supports, creates smooth lines, has back support and is incredibly comfortable. I have no problem reaching for it on days where my regular bras are in the wash, it’s that easy to wear.
SPANX T-SHIRT BRA
Another undergarment gem. I love this t-shirt bra from Spanx. I sized up in this one, as I do with almost anything Spanx. The deep v allows you to wear it with blouses, button ups, and t-shirts alike. It’s incredibly comfortable, ironically, I am wearing it as I type! I have this on my list to get a few more because I wear it so often.
ONCLOUD RUNNING SNEAKERS
You’ve heard me sing the praises of On Cloud running sneakers for a bit now. This is one of two styles I have and this pair in particular is my favorite. I would say get your normal running shoe size. If you typically size up do the same here, if you get your normal size in most sneakers, do the same with these. So insanely comfortable and they slide on and off your foot so easily, the tongue never gets pushed into the shoe.
TORY BURCH BOOTIES
I think these are insanely chic. I hope that I can grab these in the sale, because I think that they go with so much, will elevate any look and will look great with all types of denim. Tory Burch also makes really well constructed shoes, I find that I often am not in any foot pain because things are crafted with attention to detail and they’re just well made. I am excited for these!
SPERRY DUCK BOOKS
I love these boots, you know I do. I think if you have been eyeing them and want them for the fall, now would be a great time to grab them. I will say, they also tend to go on sale directly through Sperry, just not in these monochromatic colorways. I think the green and black ones are so cute.
Thank you for this post! It hits all the classic notes without being excessive. I am happy to have found your blog/IG account and see someone who looks like me that I can trust. Cheers!
Thanks for the heads up that On Cloud are included in sale. I wouldn’t have looked for them and they’re my favorite sneakers.
Best Nordstrom sale post anywhere! And I’m a small petite. But your short list of recommendations works for me. Thank you.
