I've come to love the annual Nordstrom Anniversary sale. I didn't step foot into a Nordstrom until I my freshman year of college. My only knowledge of Nordstrom were the shiny metalliac boxes that would arrive from my grandmother on birthdays and Christmas. While I may have outgrown all the clothes she sent, my mother uses those once eagerly-awaited shiny boxes at Christmas.
Typically there's always something that really catches my eye in the sale but this year seems lackluster. There's lots of lovely things but the areas that I truly get excited over--cosmetics and accessories--selection was slim and nothing was truly sale specfic like in the past.
There are two lookbooks: one for general merchandise (accessories, misses, kids, men, etc) and then they also made a special plus size edition. It's maybe 10-12 pages and like the the other lookbook it rates a general "meh." It includes the blue dress from Monday's Prep'd Picks, this flowy blouse that comes in navy or raisin, a casual red plaid pullover, and this unpreppy black & white print jacket that I really like for some reason. There were some great prices on Eileen Fisher and Sejour, which I believe is a Nordstrom private label.
Here are the links to the lookbooks:
I hope there are more choices once the sale goes live online. I saw a beautiful light tan leather jacket on another blog that supposedly comes in plus sizes. I'm not in love with all of the black leather shown in the lookbook.
