My top 12 picks:

1. Levi’s High-Waist 501 Straight Leg Jeans

You guys know I love my Levi’s! This pair is a great year-round staple. I absolutely love the medium wash and slight distressing (it’s the perfect amount IMO). I would size up if you’re between sizes/unsure what size you are in Levi’s.

2. Oversized Mock Neck Sweater

This continues to be a really popular sweater style from Free People. My personal favorite sweater style is a mock neck – there’s just something super chic about it. And the seam detail on the back of this makes it feel even further elevated. From reviews, it deff sounds like it’s long enough for leggings. Or wear it with jeans, honestly any cut will work (but tighter styles would be more flattering). Runs pretty big so consider sizing down. Also comes in black, lilac, and sky blue.

3. Sleeveless Tie Waist Jumpsuit

This is a great lounging around outfit where you still look put-together. It also would be great for traveling. The forgiving black color + universally-flattering cut would look great on anyone! Style it with a jean jacket for day, blazer for work, and a leather/suede jacket for night.

4. Faux Leather Biker Jacket

If you don’t have one of these already and consider your style even remotely cool or edgy, now is the time my friend! This is such a great staple and can work with so many different looks and vibes. My favorite use of a moto/leather jacket is toning down a more feminine outfit, like a flowy dress or anything floral. Plus, $50 is a great price point. I have a previous version of this jacket (from the same brand AND from the #nsale a few years ago) and it’s super soft and moveable – my biggest issue with leather/faux leather jackets is stiffness.

5. Baguette Diamond Ring

I’m always on the hunt for a new ring to switch out one of my 6 everyday rings (I have one of both ring, middle, and pointer rings). I definitely have my eye on this one! And the $35 price point makes it 40% off the original $58 price, which is a really great deal. I don’t have any bling on the rings on my left hand so I’m thinking this will replace the ring on my left pointer finger. This style is such a fab easy way to add a little sparkle to your day!

6. Chuck Taylor All Star High Top Platform Sneaker

I bought a very similar style to these (linked here) earlier this summer and just love how versatile they are! They seriously go with anything, and the high top style feels nostalgic and is very retro-cute. I love the all-white style of these that are part of the sale. Plus, the high platform sole adds a more contemporary twist on the classic style. Pair these with cropped jeans, midi skirts, mini dresses, biker shorts, jeans shorts, etc!

7. Barefoot Dreams Throw Blanket

I bought this in last year’s #nsale and it was probably my favorite purchase of the entire sale! It’s soooo soft and the perfect size and weight. Just check out the reviews and you’ll be convinced. Plus, the sale price is SUCH a good deal making it 40% off!! This blanket is so popular that it really never goes on sale except maybe a Black Friday deal on Barefoot Dreams website or you can find less-popular colors or printed versions at Nordstrom Rack – BUT I doubt you’ll ever find for over 40% off so I highly recommend just getting the exact color you want during this sale. I have the cream and love love love it 🥰

8. Printed Midi Slip Skirt

The midi slip skirt is such a timeless style. I truly think every closet should have one! I love pairing mine with sneakers + a cami or a tee tucked in. I’m not huge on prints but actually all of my silky midi skirts are prints! A printed bottom looks super-cool paired with a graphic tee. This print is made up of some nice neutral tones and has sassy leopard vibes without being too leopard-y, ya know?

9. Spanx Faux Leather Leggings

I’d be surprised if you hadn’t heard of these before! I feel like everyone talks about and has these (especially around #nsale time since they are usually part of it). And I am one of those people! I definitely recommend sizing up AT LEAST one size. I went up to a large (I’m a true medium) and they are still kinda tight, which is why I don’t wear them as often as I should. Style-wise though – these are fab and great quality! And they are the perfect high-waist height IMO. My favorite way to style these is with an oversized white button-up.

10. Platform Chelsea Boot

These are a great classic boot style for the fall and winter! You will live in these considering the comfy low heel plus easy slip-on feature. I love the platform, it’s the perfect subtle amount of chunkiness 🤓 Plus, the $109 price point is impressive considering they are real leather.

11. White Cotton Button Shirt

Rails is a great brand to keep your eye out for. They are known for high-quality, classic, relaxed pieces. I think they are most-known for their perfectly flowy easy tops. This easy, flowy, breathable, cotton button-up is super versatile and great for the summer, early fall, and spring seasons. Pair it with jean shorts and fun skirts now, and jeans and leather pants later this year (and/or layer it under a sweater).

12. Oversized/Boyfriend Denim Jacket

My boyfriend denim jacket is probably my most-worn piece of outerwear for summer nights and in the early fall/late spring. It’s a true staple and this is the perfect wash IMO! Madewell is known for quality denim, so this is a great deal for a forever-piece.

Sweaters

Sweaters is probably the most popular category for this sale! With fall weather just around the corner (and with many of us staying at home for who knows how much longer), sweaters are an easy-to-justify purchase. Plus, Nordstrom carries some really high-quality sweater brands.

---

Comfy Stuff

Because who doesn’t need more comfy, cozy, home clothes right now??

---

Jeans

This sale is one of THE BEST times to get new jeans because there are a lot of premium brands included that are usually over most people’s budgets. Also, I feel like usually when nice jeans go on sale, it’s because they are last season’s style or just not the greatest wash or something. But the #nsale is unique in the fact that is has some of the latest and greatest styles and brands at really competitive prices.

---

Staples

Lots of great wardrobe staples at perfect price points!

---

Workwear

Nordstrom is one of the first places I look when shopping for more work-related pieces. I know a lot of us aren’t going into an office, but I included some great comfier pieces that could work in both a professional office and a home office.

---

Outerwear

There’s some great timeless and contemporary styles to choose from! #Nsale is a great time to expand your outerwear since those are usually at a higher price point so you save even more!

Boots and Shoes

Whether you’re looking for more classic styles or trendier kicks, there’s always a great selection of shoe brands such as Adidas, Nike, Sam Edelman, Marc Fisher (one of my faves), Converse, UGG, Vince Camuto and more.

Accessories

The sunglasses below are one of my all-time favorite pairs (and I’ve had them for years!). I think the best categories under accessories during #nsale is bags, hats, and jewelry/fine jewelry – included some classic picks below.

Home

I got my bedding set at the #nsale 3 years ago and it has been included every year since – including this year! Linking it all below, plus a couple other home faves.
