I know it’s 85 degrees & the middle of summer, but ready or not I have 14 fall outfits to share with y’all today! I’m sharing what I bought from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale today & am loving nearly everything I bought. It has me kind of excited for fall!
If you missed Everything You Need to Know About the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale & My Favorite Finds, make sure y’all check them out.
It’s always a toss up when I place my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale order! I always over order & grab several sizes because I know some things won’t work. I was so pleasantly surprised by my order, I’m only sending back 3 things I think… I knew my order this year would be a little different because I have no clue what my bump is going to look like when the weather finally cools off. I bought zero pants, and stuck with dresses, elastic waistbands & oversized tops. The strategy paid off & I can’t wait to wear everything this fall.
My order arrived on my doorstep yesterday & I went to work trying everything on & creating outfits for y’all! All the outfits feel very much like “me”, & are ones I can grow into. None of these pieces are “maternity”, so I feel like these outfits would be darling on so many different body types!
AllSaints Leather Jacket: I was so excited when I saw this jacket was BACK! I scooped up a muted blush color two years ago during the sale & have worn the heck out of it. It is an investment piece, but one I know I’ll have & wear for years. Sizing: This jacket runs small. I bought my first one in a 4 & it fits great. It’s roomy enough to wear a blouse & light sweater underneath. This go around I snagged the 6 because I know I’ll need a little more room this year.
Julia Jordan Floral Dress: Y’all know I love a floral dress, & this drop waist one is just darling. It is lined & looks just as cute unbelted. Sizing: I sized up to a 4 to allow for some bump room.
Steve Madden Over the Knee Boots: This is the only pair of shoes that worked for me this sale! I felt like a lot of the shoes included in the sale looked too similar to ones I already own, so I didn’t go crazy in the shoe department. This color immediately caught my eye & aren’t like anything else I own. Sizing: they run true to size.
Free People Tie Dye Sweatshirt: I love a Free People sweatshirt, & this one is no different! These colors are so good & will be great for fall. It has pockets too which is always a plus! Sizing: I sized up to a medium to be long enough to cover the bump & bum.
Plaid Button Up: Y’all this top is a MUST have for fall! Only $40 & so so good. It’s so soft, so comfy & a great basic for the cooler months. I snagged 2 of these last year & wore the heck out of them. It’s longer in the back, and perfectly oversized. Sizing: I’m in a small & there is plenty of room for a bump (I have a small in my other two that I wore all last year not pregnant).
Sweater Skirt: I’ve seen pregnant gals wear skirts like this in the past & I always thought they looked darling in them! I thought this blue was so pretty. It has an elastic waistband & comes in a few colors. Sizing: snagged a medium to grow into.
BB Dakota Trench Jacket: This is such a good basic for fall y’all! I snagged this jacket last year in a mauve & this year I couldn’t resist the dusty sage green. The fabric is also so so soft! Sizing: It runs a bit big in my opinion, I am in a small & it is plenty roomy.
AllSaints One Shoulder Tee: I love a good basic tee & this one is great for fall! You can wear it off the shoulder or more like a boatneck & I think it’s great for layering or wearing alone. It also comes in black! Sizing: It runs pretty oversized, I sized up to a medium & it is super roomy.

Floral Maxi Dress: This is the prettiest print for fall! I am so impressed by the quality of this dress & know I will be reaching for it come fall. It is lined & you can adjust the slit or vneck with the buttons. Sizing: I sized up to a 4 & it is plenty roomy for a growing bump.
Free People Sweater: I always use the Nordstrom Sale to snag a Free People sweater or two. This one is great & such a good basic for fall! Sizes are limited, but it comes in a few other colors & sizes have been restocking sporadically. Sizing: Runs oversized, I am in a small & it covers the bum & bump.

BB Dakota Plaid Shacket: This is my first take on the shacket trend, and I am loving it dressed down! This one is a great lightweight layering piece when it’s fall but still rather warm outside. Sizing: It’s perfectly oversized, but I wouldn’t necessarily suggest sizing down. I am in a small.
Hourglass Palette: This was the only beauty item I bought from the sale. I was kind of underwhelmed by the beauty selection, aside from some items I already own & love. Hourglass is one of my favorites for face powders & this one is gorgeous. It would be great for travel!
Floral Smocked Dress: I was clearly drawn to the floral dresses in this sale & this one is gorgeous! The quality is amazing & the smocked waist makes a growing bump happy. You could totally wear this frock sooner rather than later & the fabric is lovely in person. Sizing: I sized up to a 4 & the smocked waist makes it great to grow into.

Floral Mini Dress: Another floral dress that I am loving! This one has a darling side tie & little faux wrap! It would look so cute with booties for the first of fall. Sizing: I am in a medium & there is an elastic waist!
Wool & Cashmere Poncho: The NSale is a great time to snag some cashmere pieces & I love this poncho! This is a great basic for fall & it comes in several colors if the olive color isn’t for you. Sizing: It’s one size fits all.

BB Dakota Sweater Dress: This dress is so so good y’all! I hate sharing it because it already sold out, but I have to share in case they restock. I also would totally pay full price for this dress. Sizing: It is perfectly oversized, I am in a small & it is plenty roomy. I am 5’2″ btw, so length might be an issue for my taller gals.
similar Snakeskin Booties
Barefoot Dreams Blanket: I always snag one during the NSale, I think they’re so worth the money! This pretty floral print is new & I just love the color.
&& that’s a wrap y’all! Which piece is your favorite?!
