Fashion Friday Feature: Items to Wear Now from the Nordstrom Sale

Early Access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (for Nordstrom Cardholders only) started yesterday and so many people were trying to purchase online that the website crashed!  This sale is no joke, and clearly, people take it very seriously!

The thing about this sale is that it occurs right smack in the middle of summer when we are all sweating in our shorts and tank tops, dreaming of cooler weather to come.  The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is unique from their other sales because this sale features new fall items at a discounted price.  But it can be hard to gear up for fall when we are sweltering in the heat.

For this reason, I've put together a look featuring items from the sale that can be worn now AND later in the fall.  Keep in mind that you must be a cardholder to access the sale right now.  On July 20, the sale opens up to the general public.

This Taylor Shift Dress is gorgeous and flowy for a warm summer day but can be paired with a jacket or cardigan when the weather cools down.  I love the jewel-toned green hue of this dress, a perfect color to transition from summer to fall.  

These Marsden Flat Thong Sandals by a favorite designer are a must-have at this price point.  They come in cream and black along with this dark tan color.  If you are coveting a pair of ballet flats, pick this pair up right now!  They are a perfect shoe for the cooler days to come.  

French Kiss 55mm Cat Eye Sunglasses are an item that should be worn year-round to protect the eyes and the delicate skin around the eyes, and this tortoiseshell pair is stylish and classic.

This Mini Transport Perforated Leather Crossbody Bag can be used as a tote or worn cross-body.  The perforations add a cute detail to a simple shape.  

No surprise that a Kendra Scott necklace made the list.  This pendant is a great statement necklace that is easy to wear year-round.  

This Classics Rectangular Bracelet Watch is a beautiful piece of jewelry to be worn both casually and dressed up.  You'll never want to take it off!

So, if you have a Nordstrom Card, you can start shopping immediately in store or on the website.  Not a cardholder?  You can begin on July 20.  Happy shopping!
