It's once again time for Nordstrom's annual Anniversary Sale. Last year's sale was a bit of a dud for me, it was more or less a matter of nothing really standing out to me. This year, however, had a lot of standouts just maybe not in a way you might expect.
This year's sale is more of a stock-up sale. There's lots of lingerie, workout clothes (Norts for $20!), and coats. Seriously, there are tons of beautiful coats on sale, including the beautiful wool and cashmere shawl collar coat I pictured above. Currently out of my budget, but it's beyond gorgeous. I may settle for the cape on the left, an item I've been jonesing for in my closet for several years. 

Also of note is the amount of business separates. The pants I showed above come in six colors--almost unheard for plus sizes--and petite sizes. There are some nice dresses, suit jackets, and skirts as well.

If you're a recent college grad trying to put together a work wardrobe or need to replace some items in your wardrobe, this sale is fantastic. If your work clothes are okay or you're looking for that certain pièce de résistance you may be disappointed.
