Today is the day! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Public Access is now open! And since everything sells out so fast, I have put together my favorite closet must-haves so you can decide what you need before it’s gone! Basics are always the most popular items of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, this year being no exception and Nordstrom always has the best selection with the quality you know and expect. In case you missed it, don’t forget to check out all my top picks and enter to WIN one of TWO $250 gift cards to Nordstrom I’m giving away tomorrow at the bottom of the post!!!
Here are the five closet basics you’ll love to wear over and over through the next year:
Long Sleeve Tee | Jeans | Booties
BP. Long Sleeve Pocket Tee
Colors: Ivory Stripe, Black, Red Rhubarb, Olive Burnt, White
Sale price: $15.90 | After sale: $25.00
Sizing Info: XS (true to size)
This is the perfect long sleeve layering tee! It is so lightweight and thin that you can easily wear it now with shorts, but it also can be layered under warmer pieces for Fall & Winter. The sleeves are so thin, so wearing it under any jacket or cardigan is no issue at all and still super comfortable. It is a slight v-neck and has a pocket. It comes in both striped and solid versions and I bought 4 different options because I know how versatile it will be in the coming months! Definitely snag a few for yourself because $15 is a steal!
Tee | Jeans | Booties
BP. V-Neck Tee
Colors: Black, White, Grey, Green, Mustard, Stripes
Sale price: $11.90 | After sale: $15.00
Sizing Info: S (I sized up for a more relaxed fit)
The best deal of the whole Nordstrom Sale is this $11 tee! I couldn’t do a “closet basics” post and not include a basic t-shirt and this one is awesome! I tried on multiple different ones included in the sale, and this BP tee is by far the best (and the cheapest 🙌🏼). The sleeves aren’t too short at all, and I sized up one to get a little bit of an oversized fit. They come in a bunch of colors here as well as a striped version here.
Cardigan | Tee | Jeans | Booties
BP. Longline Open Cardigan
Colors: Oatmeal, Black, Camel, Grey Marl
Sale Price: $31.90 | After Sale: $49.00
Sizing Info: XS
There are quite a few different cardigans that are apart of the Anniversary Sale that I love, but none of them fit the title of closet basics better than this one. And, none of them are this inexpensive either 😉. For $31, this cardigan is an absolute steal and one that you will get tons of wear out of from now through Winter. It is thin enough to be layered under jackets, but can also be layered on top of long sleeve tees. It comes in great neutral colors to mix and match with everything you already have in your closet!
Long Sleeve Tee | Jeans | Booties
AG Farrah High Waist Skinny Ankle Jeans
Colors: 11 Years Blue Bound
Sale price: $149.90 | After sale: $225.00
Sizing Info: 25
If you decide to splurge on one item during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year, let it be these AG jeans! They are the best fitting pair of jeans I have put on in quite a while and they are so dang soft. The quality of them is amazing, and I know that you’ll wish you grabbed them once they go back up to full price next month. If you’ve never splurged on designer denim before, now is the time because it never goes on sale, and the fit and quality is seriously unmatched. I would not steer you to waste your money ever, but I most definitely think that these jeans are worth ever penny!!!
Sweater | Jeans | Booties
BP. Lighweight Sweater
Colors: Grey Heather, Black, Oatmeal, Green, Purple, Yellow
Sale price: $25.90 | After sale: $39.00
Sizing Info: XS
Lastly, I can’t even believe that this lightweight pullover sweater is only $25 because the quality of the fabric feels so expensive! It is the best lightweight knit that would work with jeans and booties as a cute, casual outfit on the weekend, or paired with a cute skirt to the office during the week. I grabbed it the three neutral color options because I know that I’m going to love layering scarves over it in the Fall. It is super thin so It won’t feel bulky underneath a scarf or jacket! You will love being able to create tons of outfits with this sweater during the Fall!
Those are my top 5 picks that I would grab now to wear a ton over the next few months! Finding items like these closet basics that are extremely versatile really helps your budget go a long way! And don’t forget to enter to win one of the TWO $250 Nordstrom gift cards I’m giving away below! Happy Shopping!
Thanks so much for all of your roundups! It makes navigating the sale much less overwhelming!
I agree!
Love the tees & jeans!
love the post about basics! Its so hard to find good quality basic tees! Thanks!
I love stocking up on BP tees during the NSale. Last year I went a little crazy with the stripe tees. The AG jeans I had my eye on have sold out, so keeping my fingers crossed on restocks or returns…
Love this post!
Would love those jeans😍 great pics,
I’m a teacher, so I’m always looking for basic tops that are comfortable, but that also look professional with a variety of skirts and dress pants. The sweater and long sleeve top look simultaneously nice and really cozy. Thank you for sharing them!
Love all your outfits! Also I bought the t3 curling iron because I love your hair so much. I’ve never been able to use a curling iron in my life but I’m determined to learn now so I can have pretty hair like you haha.
