Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Haul - Reviews (Plus Size)

[mellymel]

My anniversary sale packages arrived yesterday so I thought I'd post about them.

I was inspired by watermelon620 to buy the Vince Camuto Placket Mixed Media Tunic Top in night shade. I also ordered the scarf shown in this look. Love them both! Got the top in 1X. I should have taken pics of myself in these things when I tried them on last night but I forgot.

I ordered the blardigan (Barefoot Dreams 'Bamboo Chic' Drape Front Cardigan) that was raved about on all the fashion blogs. It's not available anymore but I keep stalking for restocks. I sized up to a 2X because that's all that was available and because some reviews recommended to do so. I wish it was smaller so if it gets restocked in a 1x or an XL I will pounce on it and return this. It is sooooooo soft and comfortable.

I ordered the Allen Allen Slub Knit V-Neck Tunic in Capri color shown here. It was not part of the anniversary sale but I tossed it in my cart because I thought it would be cute with leggings. I hated it. It was not flattering and I feel like slub can be that way sometimes. It went right back into the box and I slapped a return label on it! Boo.

More to come in next post.

I ordered this Zella 'Pretty' Hoodie in Blue Vivid.  Sized up to a 2X per reviews. Love this so much. It's so cute and comfy on. I am very happy with this.

I also ordered 2 pairs of the Zella Live-In Leggings. Love these. I recently ordered them in the capri length and wanted the full length as well. So comfy.

Now someone please hold me back from going back to the sale and spending even more!

I did the Zella leggings and they are great. I am trying not to get the hoodie (this post doesn't help)! I love the Vince top, may have to check that out.

Great haul! I'm super jealous over that hoodie!!

Love the Zella hoodie--trying to resist it! I ordered several items, sadly most are going back.   Still trying to decide if I want to try the coated pants...

 I love this comfy sweatshirt though, it's really flattering on when tied.

Glad you like that top! I like mine a lot.

I am tempted to get the Zella leggings for the fall...may have to get them before the sale is over. I loved that Zella hoodie to, but had to refrain myself to stay on budget...but I am returning a few things so maybe I can justify it now.

Nice haul!

Yes definitely get the Zella leggings and the hoodie if you can stay within budget. They are great!

How do the leggings fit? Some of the reviews say size up so I'm debating on what size to get.

The barefoot dreams cardigan is in stock in 1X in the marine/pewter if you're interested. I just ordered one.

I definitely had to size up and they fit great. Zella tends to run small IMO

I bought the hoodie too - love it!!!

I tried the leggings. I can't decide on them...but did get the hoodie. I kind of wish I could wear my Zella stuff everyday!
