This is What I Bought From the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

I’m so excited to share my try-on haul of what I bought from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020! There were a few items not in my store, so I did place an online order, too! I’m hoping they get here ASAP so I can share my review. Of course, sometimes when you see an item in person, your mind changes so there are a few items from my original preview post. Ambassadors (those who spend $5,000+ a year) can shop today so I wanted to share my picks! If you don’t know your status, check here.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I like to purchase quality items I know I’ll wear for a long period of time. I still love and often wear the pairs of AG Jeans from sales past (I try to get a different wash each year). In building a closet you can constantly re-style and create new outfits with, versatile pieces are key.

P.S. There’s a giveaway happening at the end of this post, so stay tuned!

Petite Blogger Hoang-Kim's Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks for 2020 including a Topshop dress, Allsaints Leather Jacket, Barefoot Dreams Cardigan and more

HALOGEN BLAZER

Size: Wearing Size XS, fits relatively true to size. Sleeves are a little long on me. I prefer them cuffed anyway.
Review: A great affordable plaid blazer you can wear for years to come! It’s lined, has actual pockets and fits well. Great for casual outfits, workwear and anything in between. Fabric is more lightweight and not as structured. Overall, great buy.
Price: $68.90, After Sale: $139.00

AG THE LEGGING JEANS

Size: Wearing Size 24, fits true to size. Petite friendly length.
Review: The softest jeans and they are ultra stretchy. They truly feel like leggings and are that comfortable. Length is a dash long on me but overall very petite friendly.
Price: $125.90, After Sale: $188.00

MARC FISHER BOOTIES

Size: Wearing Size 5.5, fits true to size. I have super skinny ankles but the opening isn’t too big.
Review: The most comfortable booties I was able to try on! Many of the others were uncomfortable the moment I put them on. These have an almond-toe, which elongate your legs but doesn’t feel restrictive.
Price: $99.90, After Sale: $189.95

FREE PEOPLE SWEATER

Size: Wearing Size XS, fits true to size with an oversized fit.
Review: Super chunky, oversized yet doesn’t overwhelm my petite frame. This one is selling out fast. I also ordered the Tuscan Earth color for fall to match my boots and since I don’t have a sweater that color. I recommend layering over a cashmere sweater or tank for warmth when temperatures drop.
Price: $69.90, After Sale: $108.00

AG JEANS

Size: Wearing Size 24, fits true to size.
Review: I got my first pair of AG The Legging jeans in 2016 and I have never looked back. They are my favorite jeans overall because of how soft they are. The quality is impeccable, they hold up year after year looking amazing. Love the dark blue wash with no distressing this year!
Price: $149.90, After Sale: $225.00

STUART WEITZMAN BOOTS

Size: Wearing Size 5.5, fits true to size.
Review: The best boot purchase I have ever made are Stuart Weitzman boots. They are an investment, but I truly believe if you buy nice, you won’t have to buy twice. These are comfortable – I can walk around in them all day without any discomfort. Next, they are actually warm. I’ve worn lower quality boots and my legs always get cold, which I’m not a fan of. Yes, they are real suede but if you take care of them, they’ll take care of you for a lifetime. Spray with Scotchguard, wipe off any excess dirt, salt or snow stains as they appear and get them properly cleaned after winter. When you pull them out again in the fall, they’ll be like new.
Price: $499.90, After Sale: $795.00

ALLSAINTS LEATHER JACKET

Size: Wearing Size 0, fits true to size. I have a smaller bust so it zips up well. If you have a larger bust, size up one size to zip.
Review: My first designer leather jacket purchase and I couldn’t be happier. Worth every penny and one of the best purchases from this Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. The leather is buttery soft, I love how it zips up all the way and has pockets. The blush pink is absolutely beautiful in person and it’s such a good neutral!
Price: $299.90, After Sale: $450.00

AG THE LEGGING JEANS

Size: Wearing Size 24, fits true to size. Petite friendly length.
Review: The softest jeans and they are ultra stretchy. They truly feel like leggings and are that comfortable. Length is a dash long on me but overall very petite friendly.
Price: $125.90, After Sale: $188.00

STEVE MADDEN MULES

Size: Wearing Size 5.5. If you have narrow feet, order your size. If not, size up half a size.
Review: I’m very surprised by these! The quality is great for the price and they are comfortable. Comes in a few colors, but the tan faux-suede was my favorite by far.
Price: $125.90, After Sale: $188.00

FREE PEOPLE SWEATER

Size: Wearing Size XS, fits true to size with an oversized fit.
Review: Super chunky, oversized yet doesn’t overwhelm my petite frame. This one is selling out fast. I also ordered the Tuscan Earth color for fall to match my boots and since I don’t have a sweater that color. I recommend layering over a cashmere sweater or tank for warmth when temperatures drop.
Price: $69.90, After Sale: $108.00

SAM EDELMAN BOOTS

Size: Wearing Size 5.5, fits true to size.
Review: I don’t own boots this color and thought it would be great to add to my wardrobe. I love how they don’t slouch and stand up on their own without being too stiff. Knee-high height on me fits perfectly and I love the chunky heel. I’m actually able to put them on without unzipping, too.
Price: $149.90, After Sale: $249.95

MADEWELL COLORBLOCK CARDIGAN

Size: Wearing Size XXS, fits true to size.
Review: I wasn’t impressed with this online, but loved it in-store! Material is the classic super soft Madewell blend of 56% polyamide, 30% wool, 10% alpaca and 4% elastane. I love how the back is a beautiful brown, too!
Price: $59.90, After Sale: $98.00

MARC FISHER BOOTIES

Size: Wearing Size 5.5, fits true to size. I have super skinny ankles but the opening isn’t too big.
Review: The most comfortable booties I was able to try on! Many of the others were uncomfortable the moment I put them on. These have an almond-toe, which elongate your legs but doesn’t feel restrictive.
Price: $99.90, After Sale: $189.95

TOPSHOP DRESS

Size: Wearing Size US 2, fits like 0 and perfect on me.
Review: Fantastic for the price and a great staple piece for fall and winter. Wear on its own now with sneakers and come fall, layer a sweater over it with boots. Material is super stretchy and the side slit is super flattering.
Price: $69.90, After Sale: $108.00

FREE PEOPLE SWEATER

Size: Wearing Size XS, fits true to size with an oversized fit.
Review: Super chunky, oversized yet doesn’t overwhelm my petite frame. This one is selling out fast. I also ordered the Tuscan Earth color for fall to match my boots and since I don’t have a sweater that color. I recommend layering over a cashmere sweater or tank for warmth when temperatures drop.

Price: $149.90, After Sale: $249.95

BAREFOOT DREAMS CARDIGAN

Size: Wearing Size M, which was the smallest size available. Obviously oversized but isn’t swallowing me. I would recommend getting your size if you can.
Review: I got my first Barefoot Dreams cardigan at last year’s sale and I can understand the hype. I love the leopard print on this cream and stone cardigan. It’s subtle but still pops. Ultra-soft, super cozy and I love the pockets!
Price: $79.90, After Sale: $134.95
