Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2022

[CozyCorner]

I work in a business casual environment and have been looking for a navy soft jacket or blazer in a core color. The CASLON Drape Collar Knit Blazer caught my eye. Is CASLON a Nordstrom brand and if so does anyone own this blazer aka soft jacket? Please let me know your thoughts. Price points is decent.

These Caslon blazers have been around for years. You MUST wash in cold and hang dry or they will lose shape...quickly. Once they lose shape they look terrible on. They are a good buy for the price but I would not buy again. If you are looking for something I'd sooner get a structured blazer or a nicer sweater.

I think they are doing this, too. In the catalog they have an athletic dress from Outdoor Voices that is a new brand to the sale but online they don’t even display yet

They have withheld items and limited quantities in the past, Tory Burch items won't show up till the day of the sale and sometimes items took till the afternoon of the sale to show on the site. Sometimes items seem to be saved till the sale opens to the public.

Well, ladies I mosey'd on down to Nordstrom store today to place an order with an SA - and.... I did the terrible.
I actually ordered that Veronica Beard pleather blazer along with the rest of my wish list.

I ordered a bunch of blazers - Smythe Glen Plaid and Smythe Equestrian Window Pane (both $532), and the L'Agence Kenzie ($398)- so I figured what the heck, I want to at least look at the VB cooke.
I have a feeling it will sell out even though it is pleather.

I want to keep 2 blazers. The Smythe Glen Plaid has a wide lapel which I like, but the equestrian has a peplum back which is really cute. I'm in my late 50s so the equestrian might be too young for me.
And then the L'Agence Kenzie I really like, it has the same Balmain-type cut as the Veronica Beards, although it is not a dickey blazer, too bad.
So I want to keep two of those.

In the pictures the VB pleather cooke looks SO much better than other faux leather jackets in the sale. It looks better than the Nanushka faux leather Hathi blazer and that one is $200 more. And it looks WAY better than the Halogen faux leather blazer - admittedly a much lower price point at $78 but still, it looks HORRIBLE. Maybe all the hardware on the VB cooke hides the plastic look of the faux leather.

What do you mean you placed an order? They actually ordered the items or will order them when the sale starts?

There's the Treasure and Bond Knit Blazer for $65, more structured than the Caslon but sort of the same principal, J Crew makes one of these knit blazers also.

No, I filled out a yellow form for her to order on Weds - I can't make it on Weds

ah ok that makes sense, you got some nice items. Love a Smythe blazer! Excited to check out the L'Agence blazer as well. Saks has that style on sale in a few colors, too, if I like it I might grab some from there

thanks for the tip about Saks - they have the L'Agence Kenzie blazer in color Tawny Brown for $357, whereas the Ivy Green NAS version is $398. As is typical for me, I lose options with sizing because I need a 12 or 14, the Saks Tawny Brown color sale didn't have any large sizes.
For me the Tawny Brown might have been a better color because I am in Northern Cal.

So now my next decision is whether or not to drive down to my store for Early Access. I probably will because it seems like there's always stuff in store that's not online. Especially in the show and jewelry departments. I'm WFH and the store is 45 minutes away so I need to work out how I can break away for a few PTO hours.

I would do it. This way you can try things on.

Does anyone know if Zadig & Voltaire runs TTS? I don’t know if I should order large or X-Large.

Any thoughts on the Blissy silk pillowcases? Haven't tried them before but am justifying I need a little "self care".
For the record... they are on sale on the blissy web site slightly cheaper than the NAS price (with 35% off code below), so if you know you want them for sure might be easier to pick up your color now and not worry if they sell out. Trying to remember from previous years, but I thought they were popular.

Dream35 on the blissy site gets you an additonal 35% off, plus free shipping. Not sure how long that code will work, but worked tonight!

Those are all great jackets! Please post mod pics when you get them. The VB jacket temped me even knowing it’s pleather but I already ordered the cognac one direct from VB since I was debating it anyway, it’s real leather, it was on sale and I think it will be more versatile for me than the blue one. The blue one looks gorgeous but I definitely don’t need both. Plus I just ordered some CUTE Chloe loafers I’ve been eyeing. Wallet’s not happy this month!

I think it was you who mentioned the leather Cooke blazer on the VB website... iirc it was $900 and then 20% off... so $720 on the site for the REAL leather version? Now THAT was a deal.
I looked but all they had was a size 6... hopefully you got it!

I would much, much rather have a real leather Cooke blazer for $720 vs a Pleather one for $440. But I won't do the regular price of $1300. So.... I'll look at this blue one. Blue is ok for me, I'm thinking I could wear it with jean skirts to the office for a dressed up casual thing.

I was tempted, too, but my closest store is almost 2 hours away. Now I have a conflict so the point is moot. I'm just going to order right after midnight and hope for the best, but it's always fun to look in person.
