I ordered these items during the July 4th sales, and I got the last shipment today. So this is what I'm keeping (along with some VS underwear and bras)
This blazer is AWESOME. I saw this picture online, and didn't give it a second glance, but in person, it was beautiful and I tried it on. I bought it immediately.
The fit is absolutely flawless. Even buttoned, no pulling at the bust! Lays flat across the shoulders! Lapels don't roll! Hem doesn't poke out! And no ripples or wrinkles anywhere. Truly hard to find such a perfect fit for an hourglass shape.
Score at my fave consignment store- nwt wine colored j brands for $25!
And my first non-athletic sneakers in over a decade:
I also ordered a necklace from 6 pm and took advantage of the target bogo sale and ordered the kasia and Katherine boots. I think I have my shopping fix for a while- the only other things on my radar are the Sam Edelman beckers and Anastasia dipbrow.

I had my appointment with the stylist today at Nordstrom. It was fun and strange all at once. It was fun in that she had a dressing room of things all ready to try on and some was way out of my comfort zone, which was good. On the flip side she all of a sudden was in a big hurry to get me out about a half hour in when I mentioned the word budget...I don't know that a person with a lower budget happens often when someone sees a stylist. So that was off putting that it went from relaxed, take your time to okay let's check you out. Or maybe she just had another appointment, which was probably the case.
Anyway, Here is what my room looked like when i got there--it was pretty cool.
I even got these two tops that I would have never tried if it hadn't been in the room.
I also got these Zella crops that will be great for chasing the kids on the weekend and maybe just maybe be a motivator to get my ass in gear and workout more.
And then I got a couple of accessories. The KS earrings a amazing purple color and a Kate Spade necklace in pink.
I also stared at this blush Rebecca Minkoff bag in my dressing room the whole time--it's so beautiful and so tempting to get. I just wish it were slightly bigger...it's still on my radar and on my wish list!
I will say I stayed on budget even with getting the kids tennis shoes--yay me. And while there are a few other things I'm considering I will say the sale was disappointing, especially the shoes, which is usually where I do damage. Hopefully it's better the next time around.
watermelon620 I got the same color Elle's- I'm so glad you like them! I ordered online so haven't seen the exact color yet; it's hard to tell exactly on the website.

The color in person is a lot deeper and it almost changes color depending on the light. I feel like the color on the website is not even close--but look way better in person.
watermelon620 I love that zip-front top! It looks fantastic on you!
I was just about to say this! The color and fit is wonderful!
Thanks ladies! It is something I would have never tried on if it wasn't already picked for me. Excited that I can wear it now given it's pretty light weight and also because my office is freezing.

I really wanted to see the grey in person, but they were sold out. Let me know what you think of them. I do love these purple though.

I love the color, thanks for the pictures! Definitely different than the website! I got those and gray but they won't be here until Wednesday.
Love your haul. I tried the black stone necklace, but couldn't decide on it and if I would actually wear it and what I would wear it with.
Thanks! I tried it with a lot of the things I bought and really liked it. I ended up ordering that blue Vince Camuto top, I tried it on yesterday and passed..I've been kicking myself ever since!

Love that zip front top and I have those Zella crops and am completely obsessed with them. I bought those KS earrings in that color too. Thought they were really pretty.

Second photo down, what are those two brown purses? Gorg!
One was a Dooney & Bourke. I can't remember the brand of the other one. I do remember never hearing of that particular brand though.
