My Top Five #NSALE Hits & Misses

 I am sorry - you are probably so tired of hearing about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale by now - and there is still a week left.  I will try to make this brie and quickly share thoughts on my top 5 hits and misses from the sale.  Hopefully this will be helpful - to help you find something you haven't seen  - or save you from buying something you might have to return.

MY TOP FIVE "HITS" FROM #NSALE

1. THE SOFTEST TEE

This is the softest tee - and I really am amazed that it has not sold out yet.  I ended up buying a couple colors because I am always cold - and this is a great layering piece - plus, it looks a little more dressy than just a plain tee.  For a basic tee, I opt for this one (that I also love) - but is a little cheaper. [Note: The black tee the model looks loose and baggy - but in real life it is more fitted.]

2. LEOPARD JACKET

I love this leopard jacket.  I already wore it. It looks with jeans - and a simple tee layered underneath.  It has a bit of a sheen - but not too much.  You can see how I styled it here.

3. MY FAVORITE CARDIGAN

I bought this cardigan last year - and I love the updated one even more this year.  I ordered it in the evergreen color (blueish-green color) - and already compliments.  I just wish they had stocked more of them. There are still a few available - and for $32 - I highly recommend picking one up.  

4. BOOTS

I missed these boots online - but spotted them in the store.  They look just like the Stuart Weitzman ones - but are a fraction of the cost.  I love the chunky heel - and I can't wait until fall to wear them.

5.  BEST SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER

For me it is a tie between this brand and this brand.  If you are looking for a small travel set - I highly recommend this one.  It smells so good - and honestly, it makes my hair so easy to style, plus silky smooth.

MY TOP FIVE "MISSES" FROM #NSALE

1. BOOTS

I saw these boots on so many bloggers - and I thought I would love them, too; however, when I got them I was disappointed.  I didn't love them as much, plus, I didn't think I have that big of calves - but the boots were too tight on my calf/knee area - so, they ended up going back.

2. CHUNKY SWEATER

I love sweaters - and I thought this fun balloon sleeve sweater would be the perfect fall color - and I loved the color.  But, when I tried it on - it was just "meh" - sort of blah.  I didn't like the dropped shoulder, and it just looked like knit that would pile and look worn right away.

3. FALL COAT

I spotted this coat right away - and I ordered it.  I even tried it on - in my try on session.  I just could not get past that itchy part.  It was just a little to scratchy feeling - and I thought that would bug me - so I did not keep it.  I loved the color - and thought it would look so fun dressed up with jeans and t-neck sweater and my OTK boots.

4. CARDIGAN
Again, I saw other bloggers feature this cardigan - so I got swept up and thought - I better buy it!  But when I got it - it was just not me and overall big fitting.

5.  POPULAR SLIDES
I wanted to love these shoes - because I really love leopard shoes.  The inside of the shoe felt like it would rub my toes - and give me blisters, and for that reason I returned them.  I like to wear flats to be comfortable - but these felt like they would cause trouble for me.

MY TOP FIVE MOST POPULAR ITEMS (NOT FROM THE NSALE)
1. These raw hem jeans that are under $30.

2. My favorite utility blouse - in a fun floral print.

3. These chandelier statement earrings that are 50% off!

4. My favorite summer necklace - that I have worn a lot more than I thought I would and so glad I bought it.

5. This ruffled cardigan that would be perfect for fall - and is only $35.
