My must-have pieces from the 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (under $100)

August 11, 2020 By Ashley Leave a Comment

The 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here, and I wanted to share my top picks with you today!

Here’s the deal: I do a lot of my shopping at Nordstrom. And whenever possible, I like to find things on sale. That doesn’t happen all that often, except for one amazing time of year … The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, when there’s a ton of good deals to be had.

It can be overwhelming to go to the site and try to find the best stuff, so that’s why I wanted to make it easier for you and pull out some great options in one post.

By the way, the sale is open to cardholders right now, and it opens to the public on August 18. But you can preview the items and add them to your “wish list” today, because things sell out quickly. 

What I’m sharing here are things I have already, plan to order or have on my wish list, and EVERYTHING is under $100. (Also, most items are pretty casual, because I know most of us aren’t exactly dressing up a lot now.)

My must-have pieces from the 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (under $100)

My must-have pieces from the 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (under $100) by A Lady Goes West

Women’s clothing

Faux leather leggings

If I could pick ONE item that everyone should grab on sale, it would be these faux leather leggings. I’d size up (I wear a medium in these), and they are so versatile and comfortable for dressing up or down. (By the way, they also come in petite.)

Modal pajamas

Everyone needs a modal pajama set, because the fabric and fit is so comfy. Love these pajamas.

And this modal sleep shirt is so cute. I actually love a good sleep shirt.

Animal print cardigan

I have a cardigan from this brand, and it’s the softest sweater situation ever. I’m dying over this animal print cardigan.

Super soft cardigan

If you’re not into prints and like a solid, I have this cardigan already, and it’s so good. One of those pieces that will last forever.

Modal detailed casual twist shirt

I love pieces that work as workout wear or casual wear. This twist top has the perfect amount of detail to make it interesting, yet also simple. Must have.

Sleeveless midi dress

You could wear this solid-color midi sleeveless dress a million ways. Love it.

Tie-waist dress

I enjoy wearing dresses so much, but I like them to be classic enough to wear for a long time. This shirt-dress with buttons and a tie waist is perfection. Want it!

Oversized shirt

This oversized shirt would go perfectly with the faux leather leggings mentioned above. I’m into a loose top that lets you breathe, but still looks cute.

Oversized denim jacket

I have an oversized denim jacket, and it’s so comfy, but cute. This is a perfect staple item for the closet.

Grey skinny jeans

I have two pairs of this style of jean, because they are so good. They are high-waisted, super reasonably priced, and they are quite slimming. Check out the new grey color.

Live in leggings

I’ve mentioned these soft leggings several times, because they are great for working out or wearing out. I love them for yoga and barre. You can’t beat the price on sale, and they come in several colors.

Live in joggers

Because I love the leggings version so much, I may have to grab these simple and comfy joggers from the same brand and style. Who doesn’t need an extra pair of joggers?

Ruffle romper

Have you ever seen a piece of clothing that you are pretty certain would put you in a good mood the second you slide it on? This fluffy-sleeve romper does that for me. Must have.

Super cool bomber jacket

I want this bomber jacket in print and in solid. But I’m partial to the animal print. This isn’t something anyone needs in their closet, but it’s certainly something I want in mine.

Women’s shoes and accessories

Coin pendant

These coin pendant necklaces are so in right. Love this one.

Slip-on sneakers

I have these slip-on sneakers in black, and they are so comfy, supportive and super stylish. They work with almost any outfit. They have plenty of other colors too.

Faux shearling slippers

If you have wood floors and your house gets cold in the fall and winter, then you need some of these fuzzy slippers. My current slippers (in the closet until summer is over) are so old, so these ones would be a good upgrade at the right price.

Plain white sneakers

These plain white sneakers are timeless, they go with everything, and I love them.

Unders

If you’ve never had one of this brand/style of underwear, you are seriously missing out. Grab them all, in every color. You won’t be disappointed.

Beauty and other

Repair hair-care system

Whenever I get my hair done, I get an Olapex treatment added on to help with damage and conditioning, and boy that stuff works. You can get the whole set of treatments on sale right now. Such a deal.

Lux hair-brush set

I’m in major need of some new brushes, and this set of everything you need from wet to dry brushes looks amazing. Definitely want this one.

Microfiber throw blanket

I’ve recommended this brand of sweater twice in this post already, and I’ve heard the microfiber throw blankets are just as soft. This throw would make an awesome gift.

And those are my picks!

G.I.V.E.A.W.A.Y! 🎉 Who gets excited for protein G.I.V.E.A.W.A.Y! 🎉 Who gets excited for protein powder like I do? I've tried so many protein powders over the years, and this is hands-down my favorite -- Organifi Complete Plant-Based Protein. It's 100 percent organic, has no soy, no whey, it's vegan, gluten free and dairy free, and each serving has 20 grams of plant-based protein. But the most important part: It tastes delicious mixed with nothing but water. I'm a fan of the chocolate flavor, but the vanilla is good too. I drink this protein powder several times a week, and I look forward to it after a tough workout. As a little thank-you for following, I'd love to give away one tub of @organifi protein to one lucky winner. And if you want to try out anything from Organifi in the future, my code, ALADYGOESWEST, gets you 15 percent off on the site, and I highly recommend the GOLD powder for a nightly relaxing treat too.

I've got to be honest, I'm much more of a writer t I've got to be honest, I'm much more of a writer than an Instagrammer and many times I feel like what I want to share doesn't fit well into a grid. But I'm able to bring much more long-form content to my blog each week. Speaking of that, this week, I debuted a new series called "A Lady Goes West Advice Corner" which has been something I've wanted to put together for a while. In this series, I'm taking totally anonymous questions from YOU and giving you some neutral third-party advice on it all. Here are the questions I addressed in the first advice corner edition:
.
-“I became a first-time mom last spring and am currently dealing with all things motherhood. How do I deal with my expectations vs. reality of being a mom?" (such a good one, and I've been there)
-“How do you deal with days when you don't love your body? I think we can all relate to looking in the mirror and being disappointed with what we see?" (this happens to us all)
-“How do you deal with comparing yourself to others on social media and not feeling like everyone is doing things better than you?" (spoiler alert: everyone has their issues that you don't see)
.
The answers are long, they come from my heart, and I hope they can provide some value to you! If this is something you're interested in, head over to A Lady Goes West today to check it out, and you can submit a question for the next edition.

HOME! We closed on and moved into our home in Char HOME! We closed on and moved into our home in Charlotte over the weekend, and we're so excited to get settled in our new neighborhood, city and state after many weeks of transition. In honor of this momentous occasion, I thought it would be fun to look back at the places Dave and I have lived together over the last 12 years. Here's what it has looked like -- and each place has been special for different reasons:
.
-2009-2012 in a high-rise condo in downtown Orlando, where we lived when we got married.
-2012-2013 in a one-bedroom apartment in South of Market in San Francisco, which was always freezing no matter the time of day or year.
-2013-2014 in a tiny studio apartment in Nob Hill in San Francisco, which was only 550-square-feet, but we could hear the cable cars out of our always-open windows, so that was cool.
-2014-2017 in a two-bedroom townhouse in Walnut Creek, where we brought home both Rudy and Brady and had many sleepless nights.
-2017-2021 in a house that we owned in Pleasant Hill outside of San Francisco, which was across the street from a Starbucks so we went there way too often.
.
And now we're here in Charlotte. It's good to be home! I'd love to know: Where do you call home?
Soulmates. ❤️ Whether you’re loving on other Soulmates. ❤️ Whether you’re loving on others or just yourself today, my little crew is wishing you a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
Good additions! Even though I'm all about simplify Good additions! Even though I'm all about simplifying life, I also like adding more good, if there's room for it. And the last year has given me ample opportunity to make some changes and add a lot of good. Here's my super-random list of things I've added to my life in the last year that I now love:
.
-Using oat milk as my milk of choice (it's literally the creamiest, and I can’t go back to others now)
-Choosing to be outside as much as possible (can't believe I stayed indoors so much before, never exploring the beautiful Bay Area and now Charlotte until the last year)
-Teaching and taking virtual fitness classes (I was a gym rat for years, and now I actually love to work out at home with my virtual fitness friends)
-Wearing my Apple watch for notifications so I don't always need to be on my phone and tracking some beneficial metrics (I've only had my watch for about 9 months, and I love to check my heart-rate and close my rings)
-Appreciating the ability to work for myself and giving myself friendlier deadlines (I've been my own boss for several years and used to be so strict with my deadlines, until I realized it was stressing me more than it needed to, so now I say no to a lot of things and only do what works well in my life, without adding too much unnecessary stress)
-Shorter workouts (full-hour workouts are a thing of the past for me)
-Wearing more colors (no more black uniforms every day)
-And more!
.
I wrote a whole post about this topic on A Lady Goes West this week if this is of interest to you, and you can head on over and check it out. I'd love to know: What's something (random or not) that you've added to your life in the last year that you now love?
