I'm still picking through the big Nordstrom sale — while I'm noticing some great things “in” the Anniversary Sale, I'm also noticing a lot of steep, new markdowns on products “outside” of the Anniversary Sale. Especially if you've chosen today as your personal double points day, do poke around… some examples:
- this cute striped Frame cardigan for 50% off
- these lovely Lafayette 148 New York pants 76% off
- a lot of Pact leisurewear for 50% off
(Other reader favorites to check out if today is your personal points day: this underwire bra, this comfy bra, these comfy panties, this packable raincoat, these comfy pants, these lightweight pants, these shaping pants, this dress, these comfortable pumps under $100, these comfortable block pumps, or these classic flats.

Reader Favorites from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Curious what readers are loving in the sale? The big sellers (as in previous years!) are lingerie, which tracks — this is a great time to stock up on comfortable bras and more for work. This bra and these panties are always the top sellers among Corporette readers — closely followed by this bra. People are also snapping up these scrunchies and this $30 throw blanket, which would make a great gift.
Stuff I Absolutely Love in the nordstrom anniversary sale
But, you may say, there are so many business casual offices — why would these suits go first? And the answer is because of the matching separates, which are all really lovely. (I cannot find an overview good link for the fourth bluish-gray suit, from Nordstrom — but it has a nice matching dress as well as some pants that look like they'd be great with or without the blazer, and both the pants and blazer come in a deep brown as well.

Readers, what have you bought in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
Has anyone’s child had their adenoids out? Did it help? Our son (20 months) has ear tubes and unfortunately they haven’t helped much. He continually gets oozing ear infections and his ENT said at the last visit that adenoid removal would be the next step. He is a generally congested kid but an incredible sleeper and he doesn’t snore. We have had five surgeries on three kids in the past year and I am super over it, but obviously want to do the procedure if it will truly help him kick these ear infections.
Also sorry- I meant to post this on the mom’s board!
I can’t help with this unfortunately, but I just wanted to say I’m so sorry you have had to deal with so much medical turmoil this year. Brutal. You are a really good Mom.
