My Favorite Purchase at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

There are only a few days remaining in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, so I wanted to share with you this jacket by Chelsea28 I took home that I love!  It is going to be perfect when the cool breezes finally blow.  (Sorry that I put it on right after delivery for a picture and one side is a little rumpled) . I am excited about this jacket because I can do so much with it and it gives me something to throw on for warmth for an up-to-date look when I am going out and about.

This jacket starts the slideshow below, and it will go back to its original price of $129 next week.  I paid $85.90.   The sale is over on August 5. Remember plaid is very on-trend and will be everywhere this fall and winter.  I love a classic look of plaid and there are so many great pieces to choose from this year.

Between the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and a change in the weather last week, San Antonio has been dreaming of fall!  Last week a very rare cool front made it through the state.  To have 25% humidity and morning temperatures in the 60s just never happens in July.  One of my co-workers said she wanted to hang her autumn wreath on the door!  But, hopefully she stopped that urge because on Sunday the humidity was back at 81%…July into August returned with the familiarity we are accustomed to.

Now, about these shoes.  I found them at Nordstrom Rack and these are my new favorites by Via Spiga.  So comfy and a much cooler edge to them than a traditional sneaker.  My feet love these shoes.  I also have to comment on the socks…

It is so funny that the men in my family love to shop at LuLuLemon.  I was in there recently with my husband and I found these socks.  I have been VERY frustrated with inexpensive socks.  They slide, show, and are not comfy at all.  Right now, with all of my feet issues, I am willing to bite the bullet and spend on socks that might work.  Especially since I am wearing more shoes this summer and not as many sandals….hammer toes are ugly.  I need a good sock that will prevent the curved toes from rubbing the top of the shoe.  I am here to to say these socks are worth it.  They have sold me on spending the extra money to have a sock which fulfills all my needs and dreams.

Between these great shoes and socks, I have happy dancing feet…Alexa, play Uptown Funk!  The shoes, the socks, the clothing…are all in the slideshow below.  Thanks for being here…joining in…and as always

KEEP SMILING!!

  1. Love, love, love the jacket! I am always ready for fall, and all the great things that come with it.

  2. Great jacket, and look at how slim you look in those jeans! All that hard work does pay off! I love plaid too, and isn’t there just something about red and black!? Kind of like black and white, it just works! I agree about socks, the cheap ones just don’t cut it. I will gladly spend more on socks that don’t show AND stay in place.

  3. Love, love love the jacket. Cooler days are coming. Fall is my favourite time of year.

  4. Wow, I need jackets!! I have so many basic pieces but never feel like I’m pulled together. I think finding a few well fitting jackets will pull those basics together and clearly send the message that I am capable, professional, and ready for the challenge.

  5. Jackets are awesome, Sue. They can help with your messaging whether in jeans, dress pants or a skirt!

  6. I love your blog because you show what women who live everyday lifestyles wear. Some of my fav blogs wear clothes that are just not tough enough to take the way I live here on the coast. I need a sturdy shirt and jacket not a fine delicate one. I go to very few dress up events. I need real clothes. Thank you and does that jacket come in blue?

  7. You are welcome, Eve. Click on this jacket in the slideshow on this post and you can see the options.

  8. I always want an early fall…especially around September. Thanks Jennifer.

  9. Great jacket, but my favorite is your Via Spiga leather shoes from The Rack! Nice style! And for your hammer toes, see a podiatrist, they can fix them. I have had more foot surgery than I’ll go into here, and fixing that hammer toe was one of the best!

  10. Love these shoes. I actually had a podiatrist recommend Against the surgery because I have so many!! ?

  11. Foot surgery is HARD….but I did it in my 50’s and now glad I did. Go to an orthopedic surgeon…not just a “foot doc” since it is so delicate.
    Have you seen the British shoes from Hotter. Most comfortable boots imaginable! And they often have sales.
    The longer plaid coats look a little 80’s to me…..but I so like the big plaid..

  12. I’m with Shari when it comes to Hotter Shoes. They are comfortable and attractive and reasonable.

  13. Thank you Pamela for your favourite Nordstrom purchase ! I just ordered mine at their Anniversary Sale price! Love the jacket and can’t wait for it to arrive!
    Also, you’re looking great!!
    ? Rory
