This week kicked off the 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary sale and the selection this year is a neutral lovers dream! All the pieces go so well together. As I shared in this post, access to the sale is based on levels. But, the Nordstrom Boca Raton store was kind enough to let me shop early so I can share outfit inspiration with you on how to style this year’s items. A few early favorites are this oversized Free People sweater, this black midi dress and these booties!
Today starts the Influencer level access to the sale which means some popular items are at risk of selling out. But, don’t worry! There should be some restocks and there are always loads of returns from online orders (I’m sure I’ll have some myself). The sale runs through the end of the month. So, be sure to add your favorites to your Wish List so that you receive notifications on items that are back in stock.
2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-on Haul
Even though I shopped the #Nsale in-store last year, I can count on two hands the number of trips to the mall since COVID-19. But, it was so nice to be at the Nordstrom in Boca Raton at the Town Center Mall! So, I’m excited to be able to share my 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary sale try-on haul. Sizing and fit details are below for every item, but you can also see more in my #NSale highlight on Instagram too.

Free People Sweater // BlankNYC Skirt // Vince Camuto Booties
Free People Swim Too Deep Turtleneck Sweater
Firstly, this Free People sweater was not on my radar! When I previewed the sale online, I tried to stick to my list of things I really wanted to purchase. But, the second I put this super soft sweater on, I knew it was a winner. There are four colorway options. I’m wearing the white (powder puff) above and the gilded beige below. Free People sweaters run big, so size down one size. I got the small.
I love how this looks with the BlankNYC suede skirt. Last year this was a favorite purchase of the #NSale (see how I styled it here). This year’s version has a cute zipper down the side! In terms of sizing, I think it’s TTS or slightly small. Since it’s short, sizing up one size would add some length too. I’m in a 28.
This outfit (and every other one that follows) features the Vince Camuto Welland booties. Another staple from last year, these are my favorite booties of the sale. Personally, I don’t think the ones from Steve Madden compare in terms of comfort! Take your normal size in these, unless you want to wear socks. Then, I might size up half a size.
BlankNYC Faux Leather Moto Jacket // Halogen Rib Turtleneck Sleeveless Midi Dress // Vince Camuto Booties
Blank NYC Faux Leather Moto Jacket
A black leather jacket is a must-have at any time of the year, but especially for fall. While I love the ALLSAINTS biker jacket, this one from BlankNYC is far more affordable at only $54! It is faux leather, but it’s still soft and the fit is great. You can wear these over dresses at the end of the summer or with jeans for a casual vibe. I love how it looks with this black midi dress (another incredible find!). I’m in a medium. If I didn’t own two black leather jackets, this one would be in my closet.
Free People Sweater // rag & bone Jeans (not in sale, similar here) // Vince Camuto Booties // Floppy Fedora Hat
Vince Camuto Welland Bootie
When something is realllly good, it makes a comeback. I bought last year’s version of this ankle bootie which has just slightly different details on the side. The color on these is tortilla suede and it’s like a light camel that goes with everything. For sizing, I would say they’re true to size. I’m wearing a 9. The block heel makes them super easy to walk in and wear for hours. Such a good buy!
Daydreamer Queen Graphic T-shirt (also love this one) // rag & bone Jeans (not in sale, similar here) // Vince Camuto Booties
Daydreamer Queen Graphic T-Shirt
When it comes to graphic tees, I’m pretty particular (my two favs are this one and this one). But, there are a handful of very cute options in the #NSale this year. Since my Daydreamer tee got so much use this past year, I knew this Queen t-shirt would be a great purchase at just $45. It’s beyond soft. This transitions perfectly into fall. Wear it now with shorts and later with leggings or jeans.
Barefoot Dreams Cardigan // Vince Sweater // rag & bone Jeans (not in sale, similar here) // Vince Camuto Booties
Barefoot Dreams Long Cardigan
Another incredible purchase in this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary sale is this Barefoot dreams cardi. There is a reason it’s sold essentially year-round. It’s literally like wrapping a blanket around your body! It’s marked down from $120 to only $79, so it’s a steal! You can lounge on the couch or layer this over a dress to stay warm.
ALLSAINTS Leather Moto Jacket // Vince Sweater (similar affordable style here) // Frame Jeans // Vince Camuto Booties
ALLSAINTS Balfern Leather Moto Jacket
The selection and colors on the leather jackets in the sale this year are right up my alley (think blush, white, camel, and sage). The ALLSAINTS jacket is the cream of the crop. But, it sells out FAST regardless of the fact that it’s a high-ticket item! It tends to run very small (1-2 sizes). So, it’s a guarantee there will be returns. Pricing during the sale drops from $489 to $325.
I ordered the Dalby style in the cognac brown color and it just arrived today. I actually like it better than the one above and it’s in stock in a couple of colors. Sizing on this is the same as the Balfern. I got the 8, but also could have gotten the 10.
Rails Button Up // Good American Jeans // Vince Camuto Booties
Rails Hunter Button-Up Shirt
My favorite button-ups. As a brand, I have loved Rails for years. But, the Hunter shirts from their collection specifically are just so good. The Nordstrom store by me didn’t have the print I wanted. So, I ordered it online. You can’t really go wrong with any of them though! I typically size up and purchase the large as they do run a bit small and I like them oversized. These are marked down from $160 to only $99!
Rails Star Sweater // Good American Denim // Vince Camuto Booties
Rails Star Sweater
Sure, my closet is full of sweaters. But, I love this one. Another Rails find, this cotton and cashmere sweater is cozy but also just fun to wear! There is another grey version with tigers on it that I also loved. But, I have a similar shirt from them. So, I went with this one instead.
Veronica Beard Dress // Vince Camuto Booties
Veronica Beard Floral Print Smock Minidress
Someone please help me justify this dress! The fit of this smocked mini is to die for! Restraining myself from walking out with this was tough. Ultimately I have enough dresses in my closet. But, this is really perfect for that fall transition. I’d style this with a suede jacket and booties! I’m wearing a size 8 (size up if you have a bigger chest and for length).
I hope you enjoyed my 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary sale try-on haul! When my other packages come in I’ll be sharing more outfit inspo over on my Instagram!
