The 2023 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in full swing and I have fallen in love with several of the pieces! Let’s dive into the 2023 Nordstrom Sale try-on haul with notes on sizing and quality.

2023 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-On Haul
Sizing reference: I am 5’3″, normally size XS/S, currently 3 months pregnant.
Verona Pleated Sleeve Mini Dress
Sizing: Wearing small. Fits true to size.
Quality: This was one of the first dresses that caught my eye in Nordstrom. Pleated hemlines are trendy and add a fun detail. I have this styled two ways – with knee high boots and with black sandals and a black purse. This would also be really stylish with an oversized ivory sweater layered on top!
Styled with: handbag, earrings, similar sandals, boots below
Georgiey Knee High Boots
Sizing: Wearing size 7.5; shoe size fits true to size. Calf is a little narrow and features a taller boot shaft that will be most ideal for average height and taller ladies.
Quality: I fell in LOVE with these boots! They truly elevate any style and look great with solid dresses, plaid skirts and leggings!
Mini Shirtdress
Sizing: Wearing small. Fits true to size.
Quality: The fabric is satin and looks very similar to silk! A little sexy, chic and definitely flattering, this dress is bra friendly and comfortable to wear! If you shop Lilly Pulitzer, the fit on this dress reminds me of the Cristiana dress. This dress is a blank canvas and will go great with many of your favorite accessories!
Styled with: handbag, earrings, similar sandals
Long Sleeve Midi Dress
Sizing: Wearing small. Fits true to size.
Quality: With a sale price just shy of $30 this wins for one of the most affordable finds! I shared two ways to style – with a cardigan and booties or white sneakers and a belt bag. The fabric has a nice stretch and it’s bump friendly! I am currently 3 months pregnant and there is plenty of space to grow.
Styled with: similar cardigan, similar booties, sneakers below, belt bag
327 Sneaker
Sizing: Wearing 7.5. Fits true to size.
Quality: While these sneakers are currently sold out while writing this, there will be returns so I wanted to link the exact pair. These are worth all the hype, and I love the styling these with athleisure outfits and jeans. They have a trendy nubbed tread and put an extra spring in your step! Similar options are these and these.
Ottoman Tunic Sweater
Sizing: Wearing XS. Runs big, consider sizing down one.
Quality: Cozy and spacious, this ribbed oversized sweater is one I will be grabbing for again and again in this fall and winter! This comes available in a few color options and pairs perfectly with many of your favorite leggings and jeans.
Styled with: similar booties
Spanx Faux Suede Leggings
Sizing: Wearing XS. Runs a little small.
Quality: Confession time… I bought these long before they were going to be in the sale because I was obsessed with the faux suede style! The fabric has a little stretch and a high-waist designed to smooth everything out. I love the unique, stylish spin on leggings and these go great with many of your favorite sweaters! I think they’d look really cute with the Georgiey boots too!
Ruffle Cuff Crepe Top
Sizing: Wearing XS. Fits true to size.
Quality: The magenta glow color is stunning! It’s vibrant, the life of the party and versatile for wear all year round. This top features chic details like a subtle ruffle at the neck line and bell sleeve. Style this with faux leather leggings in the fall/winter and white denim in the spring/summer.
Control Top 7/8 Faux Leather Leggings
Sizing: Wearing small. Has a lot of stretch but runs a little small.
Quality: These are hands-down the most realistic faux leather leggings I have ever worn! With a glossy finish, leather feel, and compression to hold everything in place, you can’t help but feel dressed to impress!
Raw Edge Tank
Sizing: Wearing small. Runs slightly big.
Quality: The lightweight fabric and sheer hemline is an elegant touch to this top that can be worn alone or layered with blazers and cardigans. This looks beautiful with stacked gold chain necklaces!
Check One-Button Blazer
Sizing: Wearing small. Fits true to size/slightly big.
Quality: Hello gorgeous fall blazer! I love the colors in the plaid print which makes it so easy to mix and match with other blacks, browns and whites. Layer with dresses, camis or even a fun t-shirt! This print is offered in other coordinating pieces as well!
Styled with: similar booties
Itty Bitty Bootcut Jeans
Sizing: Wearing size 4, regular length. Fits true to size. The regular length was a little long for me at 5’3″, so I am going to order petite. There is a similar option in long length as well. The waist-band has a little stretch which I love!
Quality: These jeans are amazing for the price and make your legs look a mile long! They have been a best seller for good reason. I bought this brand a few years ago and still love them! The frayed hem is trendy, and these also come available in a traditional hem.
Belted Mini Dress
Sizing: Wearing small. Sleeves run a little big, otherwise fits true to size.
Quality: I love a good sweater dress for fall and winter. This one stands out with the belted waist that cinches everything in! For extra style points, this would look really cute with white knee high boots!

Quality: The Nordstrom stylist called this her “Kardashian Dress” because it’s sophisticated and stylish at the same time. I love the soft, stretchy fabric and waist-defining belt. Layer this with a blazer and boots for an elevated style!

Quality: These were one of the top items on my wishlist for the 2023 Nordstrom Sale Try-On Haul and they did not disappoint! With buttery soft fabric, these are comfortable for both workouts and running around the town. The color is called “cinnamon heather” and it’s so pretty in person!
Front Twist Muscle Tank
Sizing: Wearing small. Fits true to size. This has a fitted style, if you prefer a little more room, size up.
Quality: The fabric on this is wonderful. I think the look is cute, but it is cropped to just under my rib cage on one side. If you prefer a more uniform crop or longer length, check out their other tops in this line or pair it with a creamy white top! (Those colors together are dreamy!)

Joggers
Sizing: Wearing medium. I wear size small when I want a fitted look and size up to medium for a looser fit. In my last pregnancy, I wore these one size up through the last week!
Quality: Out of all the pants I wear the most, it’s these. Hands down. I’m obsessed! They are comfortable, go with your favorite tshirt or athleisure tops and stand the test of time. Maximizing comfort, style and functionality, they include a drawstring waistband and pockets. Because of my love for these, I have accumulated about five pairs in various sizes and colors throughout the years! You will love them!

Sizing: Wearing size small. Runs slightly on the smaller side.
