With shoes and bags it kind of feels like everything is having a moment — there are skinny heels and thick heels, round toes and pointy toes, ankle booties, shooties, knee-high boots, OTK boots, and slouchy mid-calf boots. Which are your favorite pieces to wear to work right now?
(Also — I neglected to round up the reader favorites in the previous post, so I did it here. Longtime readers of the blog will definitely recognize these pieces because they’re almost always on our most-bought lists of the month / year / sale.)
As with our other posts, note that everything available in plus sizes has an (*) next to it, and everything available in neutral colors has a (+) next to it.

(There’s a ton of beautiful diamonds in the sale but outside of the diamonds, there were only a few jewelry pieces that stood out to me as being great for work; some I’ll feature in Coffee Breaks over the next few days… the two that I really liked are in the photo above!)
My Favorite Shoes for Work in the 2022 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
There are a ton of cute shoes for work in the NAS, and some VERY.INTERESTING.TRENDS. that we’ll hopefully discuss later in the week — soooo many white boots. And Western-inspired boots. And shooties! And dark brown shoes and boots! And — it’s not a new trend but I don’t think we’ve ever discussed how to wear lug-sole loafers and boots to work. Peeptoes are even making an appearance again! (Also: if you have come out of the past two years on the hunt for 3.5″-4″ stiletto heels… there are a TON of retailers who’ve got you, boo.)
My very favorite shoes from the sale are pictured below — they’re from brands that readers know and love for comfort, and they tend to stick to the more classic side for work-related footwear.
(Can I just say that I hate doing shoe collages? This one isn’t pretty, but hopefully it’s clear…)

Work Bags in the 2022 NSale
There are also a lot of cute bags! This collage doesn’t do a great job showing their relative size so I’ve tried to note in the description whether I’d call it S, M, or L.
Top row: green backpack+ (M) / blue shoulder bag+ (M) / green crossbody+ (S) / black crossbody (M)
Bottom row: gingham tote (L) / quilted tote (L) / tan tote (L) / navy striped tote (L-XL)
