I am sure by now you are more than aware that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale started yesterday. I placed a large order yesterday and I can't wait for everything to arrive! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a great time to either splurge on a designer piece or stock up on some pieces you will be able to wear multiple times. Two years ago, I splurge on some Tory Burch riding boots. I LOVE the ones that are included in this years sale. I have to say, I really think they are worth the money because mine still look brand new.

This year, however, I just wanted to stock up on some basic pieces I would wear often. I got some new workout gear, Kendra Scott jewelry, and a couple other pieces. I was really impressed with the athletic clothing so definitely browse that if you haven't already. I don't plan to keep everything I ordered, but I was worried that if I took too long to decide then the stuff I did want would sell out, haha. With the free shipping and free returns policy Nordstrom has, it's really a no brainer.

There are plenty of great items included in the sale this year, and what's even better is that many of them are less than $50! I rounded up some of my favorite pieces that are less than $50 in today's post. What is your favorite? I ordered two items in the above graphic for myself. Any guesses for what they are?

Make sure you are subscribed to my YouTube channel because once I receive the items I will be doing a haul and sizing guide! Over the next few weeks, I will be included some of my favorite items from the sale at the bottom of each post. If you have a specific category you want me to cover, let me know in the comments.

Have a great weekend!

Linking up with Meet at the Barre.

best of the nordstrom anniversary sale for under $50

This post originally started out as a roundup of the best Memorial Day sales. However, as I was writing it, I realized the only store I was really impressed with their sale was Banana Republic. They have 40% off the whole store and it's the only place I am ordering from this weekend! Rather than just do a list of the sale, I thought I would do some outfit inspiration using pieces from the sale. Not everything included in the guides is from the Banana Republic Memorial Day Sale, but at least a key piece from each outfit is.

I am in the process of revamping my wardrobe. I feel like my style has evolved quite a bit over the years and it is need of a refresh. I am currently in the process of a major closet clean out where I am getting rid of anything that I don't love. I read somewhere to get rid of anything that does not bring you joy, so that's the mindset I'm trying to apply as I clean out my wardrobe. It's a great tip for cleaning out your closet because so often we hold on to pieces just because we spent a lot of money on them or because we might wear them someday. As I clean out my closet now, I'm really thinking about if it makes me happy when I wear it.

The first area of my wardrobe that needs some new life is my work wardrobe. We are able to dress jeans casual where I work, so I could honestly wear each one of these any day of the week. However, I hope that you are able to take some inspiration no matter your dress code at work!
