Alright guys, you ready for part three of The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? I really wasn’t kidding when I said I did a big order….and a few little orders after that. This is actually the end of the big order and all of the cardboard boxes are out of my apartment and on their way back to be returned! My next order will probably show up in a few days, so there won’t be another #NSale post on here for quite a few days. So enjoy this one and if you’re sick of hearing about this sale, breathe a sigh of relief.

Caslon® Relaxed Slub Knit U-Neck Tee (Black XXS and Green XSP)
I’ve order this shirt before and I’ve had to return it because it was too big. This time since the petite sizing was available, I decided to try out that and the XXS. I was pleasantly surprised with how both fit. The petite sizing was a little shorter (as expected) than the XXS, but the cut of the chest felt fairly similar.
Verdict: Keep both
BP. Stripe Shirt (XS)
Ever since I discovered that I do in fact like button ups, they just have to be looser, I’ve been on the hunt for a good striped one. This one was surprisingly perfect. The material was thin and lose, which gave it a breezy feeling.
Verdict: Keep
Dreamers by Debut Cowl Neck Boxy Pullover (XS)
To be fair, the word boxy was in the title of this sweater. Unfortunately my petite sizing didn’t work out with the boxy fit. If you aren’t petite, this sweater might work well for you (I’ve seen it look great on a lot of bloggers).
Verdict: Return
Halogen® Open Front Knit Cardigan (One Size)
As we learned last time, one size does not fit all. Also, this sweater was a little scratchy.
Verdict: Return
Socialite Cowl Neck Shift Dress (XS)
Yes, I’m trying this dress on in multiple colors. What do you think of this one? I feel like it’ll be great for work, but I’m still a little iffy about the fit. Unlike the other dresses though, this one is ribbed, which I actually kind of like.
Verdict: Unclear
Caslon® Colored Stretch Skinny Jeans (26)
I normally wear a 25, but I’ve been in between sizes lately, so I tried out sizing up. It kind of worked. The pants were way too long (as normal), but they seemed like they fit. Until I realized that the waist was just a little bit too big.
Verdict: Return, reorder 25
BP. Destroyed Skinny Jeans (25)
Everyone seems to love ripped black jeans, so I decided to see what all of the fuss was about. I truthfully still don’t really see the appeal of the rips. I was fine with the knee rip, but the one high up on my thigh was just weird.
Verdict: Return
KUT from the Kloth ‘Catherine’ Distressed Stretch Boyfriend Jeans (0P)
I think it’s time that I just give up on boyfriend jeans. This pair fit fine, but it was too long (I think?) and had a similar fit to non-boyfriend jeans that I already own. Also, I feel like the whiskers at the top make my thighs look bigger.
Verdict: Return
Articles of Society ‘Mya’ Skinny Jeans (25)
I love my current skinny jeans, but I’m afraid that they may be coming to the end of their life soon, so I realized I should look for a few new pairs. I only order this one and the one below and I was pleasantly surprised with how they both turned out. This one fit really well and was tighter around the ankles, which I prefer. It’s a little long, but that’s easily tailored….or just cut. I don’t know which I’m going to do yet.
Verdict: Keep
KUT from the Kloth ‘Diana’ Stretch Skinny Jeans (0P)
Similar to above, these had a really great fit. Plus, they’re stretchy which is a big bonus in my book. Again, too long, but again, can be fixed.
Verdict: Keep
BLANKNYC ‘Easy Rider’ Faux Leather Moto Jacket (XS)
Go grease lightening you’re coasting through the….don’t I look like I should be a greaser from Grease? Sadly, that’s not the look I’m really going for.
Verdict: Return
Levi’s® Cowl Neck Faux Leather Jacket (XS)
Jacket fit pretty well and I was pretty impressed with it. But the cowl neck was too big. Like, it just annoyed me and wasn’t worth the price.
Verdict: Return
Thread & Supply Quilted Bomber Jacket (XS)
The quality of this jacket was pretty good, but it was just too big.
Verdict: Return
SARTO by Franco Sarto ‘Garfield’ Western Bootie (6M)
I got a similar pair of these booties this past winter and I absolutely love them. I bought them in black and taupe and they pretty much became my instant favorites. They’re still in good condition so I don’t need to replace them, but I was curious to try out a colored pair. This one was pretty comfortable and spot on with sizing (though a little tight if you have wider feet). The buckle wasn’t on my last pair, but they didn’t bug me as much as I thought they may.
Verdict: Unsure
