The 2022 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is officially here, and we’ve been elbow deep in trying the pieces so you don’t have to! We’re sharing what was a hit and what was more of a swing and a miss in today’s post, specifically for tops and sweaters! Don’t forget to join the LIY Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Facebook Group where there are nightly giveaways happening!
PS You can check out Erin’s FULL Hit’s & Misses blog post in one spot right here!
PSS Consider THIS your NSale headquarters, with all the content in one spot!
If you have been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale already, you may have missed a thing or two, but have no fear – you have until July 31st to purchase the products at a major discount. After that, prices will go back up to normal.
ANNIVERSARY SALE SHOPPING TIPS & TRICKS
- Anything that you love and want for yourself, add to your wish list and check out once the sale is live for your card level [reminder: if you don’t have a card, the public sale starts July 15th]! If it isn’t currently available in your size and color preference, things are always coming in and out of stock, so check back often!
- Remember that Nordstrom always offers free shipping and free returns! Because of this, I would recommend ordering two sizes on things you are unsure of, to make sure that you can get it at the sale price and return the one that doesn’t work!
- Some of the items I mention may currently be out of stock, but check back often for restocks! We’ll also be notifying you of restocks over on our Facebook page and #NSALE group [highly recommend joining the group for a ton of helpful info and nightly giveaways!]
- Keep in mind that while the sale lasts until 7/31, things go quick so don’t be like N*Sync and have to say “bye, bye, bye” to everything before it’s gone – shop early!
- If there’s anything I didn’t cover and you still have questions, ask away below and I’ll answer right here so check back! For more Nordstrom Anniversary Sale posts, click here!

This shirt jacket is SUPER comfortable, it’s just way too big in this current size! I may size down to Medium and reorder because I do like the idea of it and how it looks with my shoes!
V-Neck Wool & Cashmere Poncho [One Size / Olive Dark Heather]
Free People Owen Thermal [Size Down, wearing in Small]

I cannot get over how heavy this cardigan was!
Topshop Polo Sweater [sized up for pregnancy, wearing Small] // Zella High Waisted Live In Leggings [sized up for pregnancy, wearing Small] // Blondo Booties [size down .5]
Personally, this sweater is a miss for me just because it felt boxy and unflattering!
Free People Off the Shoulder Top [size up one, wearing medium but could do large] // Good American Denim [size up if in between – no stretch] // Mules [size up .5 if in between]
I wanted to love this top, but it kept sliding up and wouldn’t stay in place around my broad shoulders. If you decide to try it, size up if in between!
Madewell Henley Sweater [runs large size down if in between] // Good American Denim [size up if in between – no stretch] // Mules [size up .5 if in between]
Nothing wrong with this sweater, it just didn’t “wow!” me! It runs large and I found the oversized fit slightly unflattering and seemed to add extra weight to my figure!
French Connection Square Neck Sweater [wearing XS] // Kut from the Kloth Donna Fab Ab Raw Hem Skinny Jeans [TTS, wearing in Petite length for 5’2”] // Steve Madden Mules [TTS]
The fit of this top was way off… it was too short, the square neck didn’t even cover my bra and I had to keep adjusting it…
Halogen Funnel Neck Top [Size up if in between, wearing in XS but need a Small] // Kut from the Kloth Donna Fab Ab Raw Hem Skinny Jeans [TTS, wearing in Petite length for 5’2”]
While the material was stretchy, this top was WAY too fitted for my liking and I felt very sucked in and like I couldn’t get out of it!
Madewell Square Neck Puff Sleeve Top [TTS, wearing in XS] // Kut from the Kloth Fab Ab Jeans [TTS, wearing in Petite length for 5’2”] // Steve Madden Mules [TTS]
I don’t know what is happening with this top but it’s almost like the seam where the sleeve and body of this top meet is in the wrong plays!
Open Edit Balloon Sleeve Top [TTS, wearing in XS] // Kut from the Kloth Fab Ab Jeans [TTS, wearing in Petite length for 5’2”
French Connection Turtleneck Sweater Vest [TTS, wearing in XS] // Kut from the Kloth Fab Ab Jeans [TTS, wearing in Petite length for 5’2”] // Steve Madden Mules [TTS]
The arm holes were WAY too big! It might be cute with a lace bralette but I didn’t’ love it enough to try!
Rails Pastel Button Up Sweater [TTS] / PAIGE High Waist Straight Jean [TTS]
I liked this sweater, but I didn’t LOVE it. For the price tag, I wanted to LOVE it.
Free People Button Up Shirt [TTS] / MOTHER Raw Hem Ankle Jean [TTS – Bought these last year and love them!]
Madewell Oversized Button Up Shirt [TTS] / IETS Frans Tank Top [TTS]
Again, I just didn’t love it and the tank had zero stretch!
