The 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is finally open for the public to shop the best sales and deals on women’s clothes, shoes and accessories. Starting Aug. 19. and through Aug. 30, shoppers can order chic fall fashion, including outerwear from Avec Les Filles, embellished Karl Lagerfeld boots and sweaters from Topshop, Free People and Vince. Footwear is having a moment during the event, with discounts available on many types of shoes, including cozy slippers from Ugg, rain and winter boots like these classic Timberland boots, heels and others.
Tweed and houndstooth are classic fall patterns transitioning well into winter, and even into your resort wardrobe. Try a tweed Veronica Beard blazer or channel your inner New England prep with a Lauren Ralph Lauren houndstooth wool coat. For an off-duty vibe, pair your blazer-style jacket with Rag & Bone jeans, a silk cami from Nili Lotan and Adidas Stan Smith sneakers. Or throw it over your work from home fit — don’t worry, your boss won’t see your well-loved sweatpants over Zoom — to instantly add a polished finish to your otherwise relaxed outfit.
Accessories including jewelry, handbags and even hats are also on sale. While my everyday pair of Gorjana hoop earrings aren’t part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale event, the Southern California-based brand has plenty of expensive-looking-yet-affordable jewels at a discount. If you’re ready to splurge, you can add fine jewelry pieces, including platinum diamond stud earrings, Versace watches and diamond necklaces to your online cart.
While lounging at home, you’ll probably want to skip wearing “real clothes” and that’s okay. Feel extra cozy while binge-watching “Succession,” or deciding which franchise of “The Real Housewives” you want to watch next in bed. Loungewear, fluffy Ugg slippers and athleisure are all popular options from the big Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Before you hop on your exercise bike with your workout playlist blasting from your portable wireless speakers, be sure you wear the right fitness gear. Activewear, including sports bras, leggings and jackets, along with sneakers from top brands including Zella, Sweaty Betty, Nike, Adidas and more, are on sale at Nordstrom.

Lightweight, rubber rain boots are a fall fashion staple you can even wear during the winter. These black boots have a charcoal grey color-block detailing, 1.25-inch heel and can be worn with dresses, leggings and jeans with ease. Not a fan of knee-high boots?

3. Stuart Weitzman Zuzanna Over the Knee Boot
Let’s be honest: You probably saw Blake Lively wearing these boots (minus the 3.5-inch block heel) when “Gossip Girl” originally aired on The CW in the late 2000s. Fortunately, just like Blair Waldorf’s signature headbands, these suede Zuzanna boots are still stylish a decade later. Over the knee boots are also versatile — pair them with a little black dress, statement jewelry and your mask at night or with jeans, an oversized sweater and sunglasses during the day.

4. Tory Burch Carson Convertible Leather Crossbody Bag
Micro bags are cute and trendy, but unfortunately not always practical. Go for a mini bag instead, so you can store your essentials like a smartphone, long-lasting lipstick and a cardholder in the dual interior slit pockets. It’s available in Black or Moose, a rich brown, and features gold-tone hardware and a chain-link shoulder strap. You can wear the grainy leather bag two ways — on your shoulder or crossbody — and secure it with a magnetic flap closure (featuring Tory Burch’s signature logo).

Going bra-free isn’t always an option, so try a hidden underwire T-shirt bra with feminine lace detailing along the cups and shoulder straps.

The adjustable straps offer additional support and are designed to be non-slip.
