The Nordstrom sale is around the corner and now's the time to build your wish list so you're ready to go once the floodgates open on July 15th, or earlier depending on your Nordstrom shopper status. For more information on this highly anticipated fashion event, check out the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024 event details.
The last few days were both relaxing and busy for me. Our family met with friends for a small July 4th gathering on Thursday, then on Friday evening my husband and I checked out a Tekno's show in uptown Minneapolis, and on Saturday afternoon we took the kids to the 2024 Taste of MN event. In between those outings, I managed to hit the gym, go for a couple of long walks, and peruse the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale preview to take my picks. In case you missed it, the first part of my wish list focused on dresses and shoes. For this second roundup, I focused on jeans and accessories. You know I love jeans so of course I had to peek at the sale inventory to see if any pieces would be worth adding to my collection. I'm also partial to accessories because they're the defining elements of personal style. Accessories have the power to take an ordinary look up a notch so it's a good idea to check them out and grab a few to enrich your wardrobe. Here are my jeans and accessories picks for the 2024 Nordstrom Anniversary sale.
1. Blue Straight Leg Jeans
You can never go wrong with a pair of high-waisted, streamlined, and full-length blue jeans. I love that these jeans ooze a vibe that's both classic and contemporary, and can multitask from office to weekend seamlessly. You could pair those with a white tee, a blazer, and loafers for an easy business casual look, or go with an oversized shirt and sneakers for a more relaxed weekend look.
Sale price: $105.99
After sale price: $159.00
2. High-waist Ankle Wide-Leg Jeans
When it comes to jeans, I think that building a collection that comprises multiple styles and lengths is key. Although full-length jeans offer a lot of versatility, cropped jeans are also an essential in my view, especially if you are into shoes. A shorter length creates room for the shoes to be seen, whether they are strappy sandals or boots. A cropped pair of jeans also creates a more relaxed and casual vibe, which we've all come to love for day-to-day activities. I love these culotte-inspired blue denim jeans because of the flattering high-waist, the lightly lived-in denim wash, and the wide-leg silhouette.
Sale price: $158.99
After sale price: $238.00
3. High-waist Boyfriend Jeans
The appeal of these jeans lies in the inner slit details. When you want to spice up your jeans game and add a touch of distinction to your outfits, a clean pair of jeans with minimal detailing can deliver a lot of punch. Another element that elevates this pair of denim jeans is the contoured high waist. It makes for a beautiful lifting fit that also elongates the legs. I would pair this pair of jeans with a fitted bodysuit and a blazer, and finish the look with kitten heeled pumps for a modern business casual look.
Sale price: $98.99
After sale price: $149.00
4. Double-breasted Belted Coat
Coat season will be here before we know it! And the best time to secure a posh coat at a good price is now, when temps are scorching and there are plenty of options still available! I'm a fan of a wrap coat and have collected them over the years in several colors and different silhouettes. I was drawn to this piece first because of the bold red hue that's easy to match with Fall and Winter outfits, but also because of the uncomplicated design that lends this outerwear timeless appeal. The coat comes in three colors including neutral hues if you prefer to keep your jackets in the "safe" color range. I also love the inclusive sizes, which go from XS to XXL. I'm planning on going with a M for good balance between a roomy and tailored fit.
Sale price: $149.99
After sale price: $240.00
5. Tortoise Rectangular Sunglasses
Tortoise sunglasses will always be a vibe, especially when they flaunt a catchy color scheme like these yellow and black sunglasses. These won't only check the UV protection box, they'll also add serious style to any outfit, dressy or casual. They feature a rectangular cut which flatters most face shapes and has a more classic look. If you follow me, you know I love to rock sunglasses, and I can totally see these turning into a signature piece given their unique pattern.
Sale price: $178.99
After sale price: $268.00
6. Western Bomber Jacket
What's not to love about the sporty chic vibe of this jacket? I love the contemporary bomber style, the varsity-inspired details, and the contrastive color combination that's sure to make even the simplest casual outfit stand out. Think jeans and a tee with western boots, or a maxi knit dress with sandals, or even a pleated skirt with a sleeveless tank and tennis shoes. This western bomber jacket is more versatile than it looks and would make a snazzy addition to any wardrobe.
Sale price: $129.99
After sale price: $195.00
7. Crystal Embellished Handbag
A bag like this crystal embellished piece makes the perfect pairing with night-out looks and formal occasion dresses. However, crystals don't have to be reserved for nighttime outings. When you're in the mood for a little extra pizzazz, pairing this bag with your casual wear will make for that unexpected contrast effect that always screams "I'm not afraid to break the rules and go for something different!" I'm planning on wearing this crystal embellished bag with matching silver metallic flats, jeans, and a tee for weekend errands.
Sale price: $64.99
After sale price: $98.00
8. Color-blocked Leather Shoulder Bag
A neutral bag doesn't have to be "blah". Case in point, this striped leather shoulder bag featuring oblique lines in tonal neutral hues. The ivory, blue and tan shades come together beautifully to create a unique yet wearable handbag that I think could easily replace the go-to brown handbag. I love the chain strap and the options to wear the bag as a shoulder bag, or a crossbody bag. If you prefer a smaller bag, this colorway is also available as a leather chain wallet and a leather belt bag.
Sale price: $196.99
After sale price: $295.00
9. Square Silk Scarf
Parisian chic doesn't get easier than a little scarf detail. I find that no matter what I wear, tying a silk scarf around my neck brings instant classy chic style. I love the size of this scarf and the neutral colorplay which makes it versatile and suitable for a wide variety of looks. Notice how well it coordinates with this leather shoulder bag?
Sale price: $38.99
After sale price: $59.00
10. Box Leather Shoulder Bag
I don't ever see this bag going out of style. Its streamlined silhouette, beautiful brown leather craftsmanship, and chain strap make it an instant closet staple. This is a seasonless accessory that can be worn during Winter and Summer alike. This bag is available in black and brown, both of which are versatile and the perfect addition to any outfit, office or off-hours. The small form factor means this bag won't get in your way while still holding all of your essentials. For me, those are car keys, my phone, and my bank card holder.
Sale price: $229.99
After sale price: $395.00
