Closet Update: Nordstrom Anniversary Sale & Clear the Rack

Hello friends, Happy Friday!

Today, I'm sharing with you a few more pieces I got from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, which ends this Sunday 8/6 (See my shopping haul here) as well as a few of my favorite finds from Clear the Rack last weekend. I know I've done so much shopping this month and I promise I won't shop again... until the next Clear the Rack (Labor Day weekend I assume ?) :P Anyways, onto the goodies!


1. PLEIONE Tiered Bell Sleeve Knit Top ($42.90, After Sale: $65):
Material: 49% polyester, 48% rayon, 3% spandex; Size: XS
I can't wait to wear this top when it gets colder! The material is soft, yet still holds its shape. It would look great with jeans for work. For a night out, add a pop of color, a statement necklace, a fun clutch (a sushi clutch if having sushi) and some strappy sandals!
Necklace: J Crew Factory; Clutch: Clare V (left), Kate Spade (right); Sandal: Joie


2. HALOGEN Cardigan Stitch Cashmere Wrap ($98.90, After Sale: $149):
I'm all about cashmere and wool in fall/winter (I swear you still need them in So-Cal!) and decided to splurge on this in burgundy. I love I can wear it as a wrap or a thick scarf.

3. ZELLA Keep it Cool Crop Leggings: teal ($32.16, 33% off), blue and black ($31.90, After Sale: $48):
Material: 77% polyester, 23% spandex; Size: S
I love this fabric much more than the Live In's (88% polyester, 12% spandex). It's softer and more stretchy because of more spandex. I only have one pair of crop leggings in a cheetah print, so solid color would be a great addition. Now I'm just deciding on the color; I obviously don't need three.


The majority of my closet comes from either Nordstrom Rack or Anthropologie. Nordstrom Rack is probably my favorite place to shop, because you never know what you'll find; it's a treasure hunt! During Clear the Rack (additional 25% off clearance), I usually go to multiple stores in my area, in addition to ordering online (#FOMO is real). This time, they also had 50% off clearance dresses and I'm showing you some of my favorite finds below. Unfortunately, only one of them is available online. Nonetheless, I hope you'll still enjoy looking at them. And I hope you'll find something special next time you're at Nordstrom Rack!

1. Ted Baker Black Lace Panel Dress:
Material: 88% polyester, 12% elastane with 100% polyamide contrast; Size: 2

This is my second Ted Baker dress and I'm a size 2 (US size 6) in both. This is a heavy, scuba fabric, which would be great for the holiday season. I love the lace details, rose gold zipper and the length (not too short), but the waist band is a little tight on me. Time to do more crunches!. I thought $50 was already a bargain, but when I checked the receipt, I only paid $18.60 (93% off)! They must have missed a markdown. Don't you love surprises like this? ;)

2. Free People Only In My Dreams Maxi Dress:

Material: shell 100% nylon, lining 100% rayon; Size: 4

This is such a gorgeous dress! I totally had a Cinderella moment when I tried it on. I only wish there would be a fancy holiday party I can wear it to (with a different bra of course). The length was perfect without having to wear heels. The dress is heavy when you are holding it, but doesn't feel heavy when you are wearing it. There are a lot of loose thread that needs to be stitched and a few sequins missing, but it's so sparkly and you won't be able to notice in person. It was the only one at the store and in my size. $60 for this $500 dress? I'll take it!


3. Cupcakes and Cashmere Walton Striped Knit Midi Dress (Only M left, currently $24.98, 78% off):
Material: 100% acrylic; Size: S

This dress is such an amazing deal (paid $12.48, 89% off)! It's body-hugging, but not too tight. The length is work-appropriate. It would look great with a big slouchy cardigan or a more fitted leather jacket, when it gets colder. I like the dark denim sandals they paired here, which adds some texture. But I think it would be more fun to add a pop of color, like these blue L.K. Bennett sandals (another Nordstrom Rack find, 75% off), which you can still get from L.K. Bennett's website ($162.50, then an additional 30% off).

I hope you enjoyed looking at some of my favorite finds recently. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend! :)
