Team Hits & Misses: Jackets & Outerwear


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!

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

  1. 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!
  2. 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!
  3. 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!] 
  4. 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!
  5. 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!

Why it’s a miss: It was just way too oversized for my liking, I wanted to love it but couldn’t get there!

Caslon Drape Collar Knit Blazer [Size up, wearing in Medium]

Every year I see this look so cute on my teammates, and every year I’m disappointed in how it looks on myself. Feels like great quality, and so many people love it – it just wasn’t made for my body.

Kut from the Kloth Milana Faux Suede Moto Jacket [TTS, wearing in L] / Kut from the Kloth Reese Straight Leg [TTS, wearing in 10] / Bodysuit [TTS, wearing in L] / Sam Edelman Hazel Pumps [TTS]

I REALLY wanted to like this one! Unfortunately I think it’s just the wrong shape for my body. Too much extra fabric or something? Anyway – it’s smooth like butter so it’s likely worth giving it a try if you’re at all curious about it!

While I loved the IDEA of this jacket, I wasn’t loving the material. I would have preferred a bit more stretch to it, and then I think I would have loved it!

Halogen Crop Chevron Blazer [Size down if in between, wearing in XS] // Kut from the Kloth Fab Ab Jeans [TTS, wearing in Petite length for 5’2”] 

Between the oversized collar and chevron pattern it did NOT work…

BP Crop Fleece Jacket [size up if in between] // Zella Ribbed Biker Shorts [sized up two for pregnancy] // Dolce Vita Sneakers [size down .5]

I actually had this jacket as a maybe still to purchase even after trying on, but at the end of the day in the stage of pregnancy I am in with the fleece and the crop I just felt like a marshmallow 😂

Topshop Textured Oversized Blazer [size down 1] / Topshop Textured Ponte Pant [size down 1-2]

I thought this overall look was fun, but I felt like the jacket kind of swallowed me, and I didn’t envision myself reaching for it on a day to day. BUT it was extremely comfortable and could be great for you!
