What I Thought of My Nordstrom Purchases

I got a few of my packages in from the Nordstrom sale and I thought I would share my thoughts with you all. I even included selfies. Be kind. I am in no way a fashion blogger, nor do I know how to take selfies.

BP. Longline Cardigan - Normally $49, Sale $31.90 KEPT

I got this and I love it. It fits well, will be perfect for the Fall and Winter and was soft.

Sam Edelman Riza Flats - Normally $109.95, Sale $69.90 RETURNED

I didn't take a picture of these and I don't know why not. I took them out of the box and the front of both shoes as smashed a bit and had indentions in them. I am sure they would come out as I let them air out, but when I put them on, it looked like I was wearing witch shoes. Maybe because I wear a size 8 in them, but they didn't flatter my foot. If they were rounded toes, I am sure I would have loved them more. I did like the wavy sides of them.

I love everything from Charlotte Tilbury that I have tried so far. I opened this right up, saw the colors in person and fell in love. I even used it on Saturday morning. Totally worth it and I feel like I will use all of the colors which rarely happens.

BP. Long Leopard Cardigan - Sale $45.90 RETURNED

So this cardigan was hyped up by all the bloggers. I got it, pulled it out of the packaging and was a little disappointed in the quality of the cardigan. It felt like it would pill after one wash. It was soft and I liked that, but I just couldn't keep it for $45.90.

 Don't mind that my top doesn't match.

Love By Design Chenille Sweater - Normally $39, Sale $25.90 RETURNED

When I was ordering this shirt, I noticed it said it was a juniors size, but had sizing for women, so I ordered what I would need in the women's, size medium. Well I got this sweater and it was incredibly soft. I put it on and my girls loved it, but I did not. It is more of a crop top on me, so sadly it has to go back. If you are 5'3" or shorter, this sweater is perfect for you.

Something Navy Easy Tee - Sale $15.90 KEPT

This isn't one that I put on my original post, but I did buy this shirt after seeing some great reviews from other bloggers. I am not a Something Navy fan, but decided to give this shirt a try and if I didn't like it, I could return it. Well, I actually like it. It is a great price, it has some stretchiness to it and has a higher neck. I got it in the black.

Sorry about the smudges in the mirror. I didn't notice them until I was writing this post. Kids, I tell you.

Hanky Panky Underwear - Normally $22, Sale $16.90 KEPT

I still haven't gotten my Spanx Faux Leather Leggings in yet. They come in tonight. And they are sold out at Nordstrom already, but you can get them at Bloomingdales for the same price.

  4. I would have returned that leopard cardi too, but love that you kept the longline cardi. My co-worker sitting next to me is currently rockin' it in the ice box that is our air conditioned office haha <3

  6. It seems like you found some great winners! Glad you liked the cardigan! I've been eyeing up that eye pallet and I should really stock up on those undies. They're SO comfy.

    1. I love the eye palette. I hate paying that much for it, but I will use all of the colors, so it is worth it. I love the cardigan soooo much.

    1. Ya. It was cute on, but I just thought it would fall apart after one wash. And thank you. The black tee I wasn't sure if I would like, but it is a great find.

  8. The first cardi looks like it is made so much better than the animal print one. I can see why you would have returned it. Hopefully the leggings will work out for you.

  9. I love that BP Longline Cardi. Mine came in the mail a couple of days ago and it's so soft! I really needed the XS but the small doesn't look too baggy so I'm going to keep it. I hope the leggings work for you!
