The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (the famous one where FALL 2018 clothes are on sale pre-season at 40%+ off!) is officially open to the public! If you weren’t able to get early access (only Nordstrom credit card holders can), then NOW is your time! Through August 5, snag stylish goodies at major discounts. To further take advantage of this year’s deals, we’ve compiled a list of tops, bottoms, dresses and accessories that can be worn both to work and to play. And of course, we’ve also included a few beauty exclusives that are worth every penny. Here are our SB Picks from this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!
TOPS (All prices are in the caption.)
On this list you’ll find clothing and accessory items that are ideal in both professional and casual settings. These four blouses are the perfect examples. We are loving this vibrant top because of its flattering shape and conservative cut. Additionally, this black blouse and cute tie-neck options can be easily dressed up or down depending on the occasion, and this rust-colored sleeveless blouse is a gorgeous and unique staple piece that your wardrobe needs. Regardless of your style preference, all of these blouses are high quality, comfortable, polished and flattering.
At this year’s sale, we’re focusing on items that can be worn both to work and in our personal life. These four blouses are just right. This bright red blouse is $52.90 (normal price: $79), the casual and flattering black blouse is $45.90 (normal price: $68), this on-trend tie-neck blouse is $52.90 (regular price is $79), and this sleeveless rust colored blouse is $199.90 (regular price is a whopping $315!)

Do you need to revamp your pant and skirt wardrobe before the temperatures drop again? Now is the time. Here are four bottoms that, again, can be styled for both work and play and are totally on-trend. We’re obsessed with these FRAME denim jeans! The light-wash shade is the denim color of the season, and the cropped ankle length is both trendy and flattering. We’re also loving these olive green pants and black cropped ankle pants for stylish workwear. And this red skirt is a perfect addition to your closet — imagine how cute it would be during the holidays!

SHOES (All prices are in the caption.)
Who doesn’t love shoes, especially when they are on sale? Here are some to consider to take you from late summer into fall and winter:
Booties, booties, booties … and some favorite shoes! We have weatherproof booties here which is perfect as we Southerners deal with far more rain in the winter than we do snow. But, let’s get started with the savings! Clockwise from the top left, we’ve got a pair of fun and comfy booties by Paul Green, who is known for comfort and quality. These have a 3-inch heel and a cushioned arch. These work with jeans, pants and dresses and are also available in black for $244.90 (regular price: $369). Next, the AGL patent block slingbacks are a great height for all-day work and they come in four different colors. AGL is a beloved brand that people splurge for as their feet thank them. These are $239.90 (regular price: $365). Next, this d’Orsay heel comes in five colors in both leather and suede options, but this navy color …. LOVE. For just $59.90 (regular price: $$89.95) these are a steal. These black clogs with a wooden stacked heel are made by TOMS and we are loving this new look. They are available in two colors for $78.90 (regular price: $188.95). And now, weatherproof promises for the next two booties! These grey low-heel booties are just $99.90 (regular price: $149.95) and the tan Aquatalia booties (a brand known for their fashionable, functional, weatherproof shoes) is an instant classic and is $279.90 (regular price: $425). Both styles of weatherproof booties are available in several colors.
DRESSES (All prices are in the caption.)
Dresses never go out of style, and there’s no better time to invest in a pricier option than during this sale. Here are just four (there are SO many!) of the fun and flirty dresses we’re swooning over. Bold shades like this cobalt blue dress and red dress are on our style radar this season as are interesting necklines, like this burgundy dress or black off-the-shoulder. Plus, the cut of all of these dresses is ideal for layering with a sweet and simple sweater for work or dressing up with some fun accessories and pumps for an evening out.

BEAUTY (All prices are in the caption.)
Last, but definitely not least, we simply had to feature four of the sale’s beauty exclusives. This Trish McEvoy set is definitely an investment at $225, but it is regularly a $585 value! In this set, you’ll enjoy a face palette, eyeshadow palette, mascara, eyeliner, lip liner, makeup bag and more. If a sweet smelling candle is more your style, this Voluspa set is a must. Voluspa is definitely one of our favorite candle lines, and this set is great for finding your favorite scent or gifting to friends. Make sure you smell delicious with this Jo Malone fragrance set, which is also an amazing gift, and lastly, this Oribe travel set might be our #1 beauty pick. Complete with their cult favorite Gold Lust shampoo, conditioner, dry shampoo and more, you’ll soon realize why Oribe is every beauty lover’s top choice.
