Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025

Veronica Beard

I was particularly interested in the navy suit. This Navy Blazer is well-made, well-cut, and fit me as expected. However, I don't find solid navy to be particularly versatile. I frequently wear a blazer with jeans, and blue denim and navy doesn't spark joy for me. Unfortunately, these Navy Pants were horrific. They were super tight from the butt to the knee and then super flared from the knee-down. It was a weird choice, as the color, cut, and material of the jacket are all conservative and classic. The pants were obscene on me. I always always always wear a size 8 in Veronica Beard. Jacket fit great in my usual size, pants were ridiculous in every size between 6 and 12. The size 8 had room in the waist, but they were super tight on the thighs. Even the size 12 was too tight for suiting, in my opinion. Also the pants are not lined.

This Tweed Blazer is no better. NOTE: this is not a dickey jacket. This is only partially lined, and the way the lining is placed was.... weird. Not necessarily problematic, but just looked like they cut corners to make this piece for the sale. Also, notice how the buttons look "wonky" in every photo. Yeah, they're like that in person too. The sale price on this is $550. There will be other tweed jackets later in the fall priced somewhere between $650 and $800. To me this jacket is not discounted enough to make up for the weird lining and wonky buttons.

This Cutaway Jacket with Dickey for $599 is probably a really good deal. I will say, the fabric is a bit scratchy and generally seems not as high-quality as the materials VB usually uses. However, it comes with a dickey! A VB dickey jacket will usually run $700-$800 depending on the details. A VB dickey usually costs between $175 and $250. All in, you would be looking at $875 - $1050 for a dickey and a blazer. I didn't love the fabric or the color of the blazer, so I passed. If you love this style, grab it. I found it true to VB size.

I loved the style of this Cardigan. Unfortunately, the color was very yellow and not good on my skin tone. Fit was true to size. It seemed good quality. If you like it, and can wear a very yellowy ivory, go for it!

This Striped Cotton Cardigan fit well, was soft, seemed well-made. It kind of reminded me a children's craft project in pattern, though. If you see something else, this may be for you! True to size.

Bonus - this Alice + Olivia dress. This fit true to size. It was a lower-quality jersey than this brand generally uses. Not as nice a hand feel. In person, the print wasn't as appealing as on line. Overall, probably fine for the price.

Great to hear your thoughts on the cutaway jacket w/dickey. Not cheap for sure. If the fabric isn't of high quality, then it’s coming off my list.

I have about 60 items on my wishlist. So far only a $30 throw is sold out. How are everyone else’s wishlists looking?

I have 34 items on mine and only 1 thing is sold out so far. It’s the allsaints traveling ruana and it started showing sold out shortly after we were able to add items to the wishlist. I also purchased and returned this item before, so not sure why I am drawn to it again 😫

I’m trying to decide if I should order at midnight or just wait to see what the store has in the morning.

 

[luvcoach2]

Oh boy, my number 1 wishlist item, the L’agence lace shirt, has sold out and I have to wait until the 10th to shop. Maybe there will be one in my store?

Hopefully it will pop back in stock. It is very pretty in person and can be dressed up or down. The other L'Agence pieces (blazer, blouses, and dress) that I saw today were all very nice.

https://www.nordstrom.com/s/7523309: I got this in XS - love the fit and style more than I thought. Waiting for the other color to be ready for pick up tomorrow.



https://www.nordstrom.com/s/8047549: I like this as a good dress up basic. I didn’t buy it online, but I liked the feel of it in person. I got it in a small in beige, and I ordered it in black and ivory to try.


https://www.nordstrom.com/s/7148146: This did not interest me online, but I got FOMO at the store when so many people were taking them off the rack to try on/purchase. These are small, and I got them in both black and grey (ordered ivory to ship). The front is shorter than the back and it is cropped).



https://www.nordstrom.com/s/7403312: I’ve always been curious about this dress. This is a small. I also tried on the XS but it was too short. Small is still short when I raise my arms up. I like the look, but my husband HATES it. The bottom is a bit see through in that I could faintly see my dark undies.


I will post some more later when I have more time. I didn’t take pictures of everything I tried on or bought, but I wanted to share some photos to hopefully help others decide.

https://www.nordstrom.com/s/8239254: I’m a 6/8 nowadays and this is a medium. It’s a bit roomy and I ordered a small for pick up. Tried on the small and like the fit better since I won’t be buttoning it up (I can still button up - waist is 28/29). I like its uniqueness, but style may be too cool for me. Keeping it for now.

https://www.nordstrom.com/s/8254940: I bought a version of this last year and for the life of me, I can’t find it in my closet 🫣 Not a good sign. This is a small. Jeans are the wrong size - I thought I grabbed a 6 but it’s an 8, and I ended up purchasing a 4: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/8223202

I didn’t think I would get any Farm Rio clothing this sale, but I loved these patterns and colors in person. The first is very cropped in small. I tried on the medium, but it was just wider and not longer. Second is XS.

Ooooh the cool jacket! So when the small is buttoned up, is it fitted around the hem/hips? Like when you sit does it catch there or bunch up at all? I’m a 6/8 too and can’t decide on size.

 

[bodybuild36]

For basics these are a must. I purchased all colors except for white. They feel GREAT and are good quality, I’m a huge fan of Tencil. I bought and XL in each. I wear a 38C..

Eileen Fisher has been a miss for me the past couple of years. But I loved this and it came home with me. Size small.

These Rag & Bone sneaks are super comfortable and a true grey. These Vince sneaks are just as comfortable and true to size as MUCH more comfortable then Adidas or New Balances for me. Both are true to size.

My mom bought those tees!

My mom bought those tees!

They are so nice! I do not wear tees because they just aren’t breathable enough for me and these are so comfortable AND breathable.

Yes, it is fitted about my hips. I’m 5’3, so the jacket goes down to cover my whole butt. When I sit, it bunches and poofs up around my stomach. Not an attractive look 😅 I have a lot of Jean jackets (I think I bought 4-5 just last year!), so that’s why I originally didn’t want to purchase it. But I was too intrigued on its style. I don’t ever button up my jean jackets, so this size works for me. It’s a bit thicker/stiffer type, but I wouldn’t describe it as a thick, hard jean either. I would say order the medium if you’re looking to button up if you’re similar in body shape to me.

How tall are you? I’m 5’ 3” and tried the Red in XXS and it was so long. I was disappointed because I love the print. I ordered the cropped one in XS so I think it should be perfect!

Thank you for posting! Great pics of you - my favorite is the Madewell stripe polo sweater - perfect for SoCal summer evenings! I haven't had luck with Farm Rio in the past but seeing the prints on you - I will now take a look!!

You look great in everything! Silly question - I didn't see if you linked them but where are your sneakers from? I've been looking for a neutral slip sneaker and these are so cute!

 

[sabrunka]

Well, a couple items on my wishlist are now sold out!! The nordstrom brand pleated leather skirt is fully sold out of all sizes, and the burgundy allsaints leather jacket is gone in a medium. Not surprised really lol

Thank you! I can’t stand weird tightness anywhere especially in jeans jackets since they’re a bit stiffer already. I’ll get M.
