2023 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-On Haul, Pt. 1
Every year, I head to Atlanta to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. My sister lives near Atlanta, so this has become an annual trip for us. If you’ve never shopped at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, you’ll need to check out my Getting Ready for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale post. Today I’m doing a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale try-on haul. I’ve broken this into two posts because I tried on a LOT of clothing. Turn up the air-conditioner, grab an ice-cold drink, and get ready for some fall clothing.
For Sizing Reference, I’m 5’6″ tall, and I usually wear between an 8-10 in jeans, a medium or a large in tops, and a size 12 in dresses.
For the most part, I chose casual outfits. I do have a few dressier looks, but they will be in part 2 or even part 3. When shopping at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I usually purchase clothing or handbags that I normally wouldn’t pay full price for. I love splurge/luxury items, but I hate paying full price. These Frame jeans are a prime example. They fit soooo nice, and make my legs look a mile long. They are a stretch at the discounted price, but once a year I splurge. *these jeans are very long, I’m having mine hemmed.
I added the AirEssentials Cocoon Cardigan to the look, and I love the way it turned out. This is how I love to dress; it is casual and very soft and cozy. I took home both the jeans and the cardigan, but the funnel neck sweater stayed at the store.
I already own the AirEssentials Jumpsuit, and that is what I wore to Nordstrom. Here is where I wrote about the jumpsuit and how it fits. If you’ve never tried the AirEssentials line, you don’t know what you’re missing.
Last year I bought a pair of wide leg faux leather pants, so I tried on these straight-leg ones this time. I liked the pants, but they didn’t look great with the sweater or the mules. This is a case of liking the individual pieces, but not liking how they looked together. The result was that they all stayed at the store.
This outfit all came home with me! It was one of my favorite looks for the day. I have a couple of pair of Good American Jeans, and they fit me really well. I like the wide hem on the jeans, and they have a nice amount of stretch to them.
I’ve been looking for a beige leather jacket, and I loved this one. It looked great with the leopard print top, and I’ll be able to wear the top with lots of different bottoms. The print is somewhat muted, and I love that it isn’t the usual color of leopard print tops.
I changed out the leopard print for a blue plaid button-up shirt.
Here is a better look at the plaid shirt which I thought was too dressy for the jeans. However, once I tried it on, I loved the look.
I have had my eye on these Mother wide-leg jeans for a while, but I ended up leaving them in the store. Some of the other jeans looked better on me, so this pair didn’t make the cut. However, I did buy a pair of Mother jeans, and I’ll show those to you tomorrow.
It was a loooong day, and it is after midnight, so, I’m heading to bed. Tomorrow will be just as busy, so I’m hoping for a good night’s sleep.

Tania, I read and enjoy your posts every day. I live in Shady Side, MD, which is about 25 miles south of Annapolis and off the beaten path. Your posts help keep me in touch with what’s current in the fashion world. Thank you!! I am also one of your R&F customers. I have just one question for you: when do you wear all the clothes you buy?! Do you change several times a day?!

Ruth, a lot of my outfits are put on for photos, and then I wear them later in my real life.
Love reading about all of your great finds in clothing and other items! Amazing! Thank you for the blog.
Love love love the tonal plaid blouse, it looks great with jeans. I am from Missouri the show me state, and you do show us lots of great items everyday! Thank you for your work you put into your blog everyday! Missouri loves Tania!
I love the funnel neck top! Also the tonal blue shirt is lovely with the jeans. It looks ‘dressy casual’ and is very nice. I have to find some pretty shirts for fall, so glad you are showing some now.
Those jeans look great on you! I’m from Wisconsin!
Can’t wait for part 2 & 3!
Take care of yourself Tania, with all the shopping you have to do! I get tired just reading about all you have to do! LOL BTW, I was born and still live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania!
Hi I’m from Tulsa Oklahoma. Love these looks. Especially the moto jacket! But the blue plaid shirt is really nice too! Thank You for showing these looks. Im a little taller than you but the same sizes and your picks give me an idea of what they would look like on me and what size to order. I recently lost alot of weight and I’m really clueless about fashion so your posts really help me pick out stylish clothes.
Hi Tania:
I have been following your posts for some time now and really enjoy them. I live in Baden, Ontario, Canada which is about a 20 minute drive from the famous Stratford Festival city. We are about a 30 minute drive from Toronto. I have to go to Toronto to shop Talbots. Online shopping for Talbots isn’t great because there is considerable duty charged on top of the exchange and taxes. Chicos uses a system called Border Free, so no duty.
Unfortunately, both Chicos and Nordstrom have closed in Toronto. I am just under 5’5″ and weigh 150. I wear the same sizes as you do! Bye for now! It’s a letter L after my name in my email (not a number 1)
