5 Easy Outfit Ideas From the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 is in full swing for cardmembers (public shopping starts July 28th), and like always there are tons of great capsule wardrobe basics to snag. So, naturally, there are tons of cute capsule wardrobe outfits that can be created.

That said, today I wanted to provide you with some capsule wardrobe outfit inspiration using all Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 pieces.

As I write this the featured items are currently still in stock and many of them are under $100.

But if you see something you like, don’t wait to buy it (unless you have to). Pieces are selling quickly and will more than likely sell out. Plus, all prices go up after August 8th. So scroll down to see and shop the items shown before it’s too late!

As a reminder, when you click the links within my blog posts and make a purchase, I could potentially make a small commission on the sale. This comes at no additional charge to you as the buyer! It does, however, allow me to keep this blog alive.

Your support is very much appreciated!


Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021

Easy Outfit Idea #1

So you know, I bought this dress in green and it does run a little big. If you’re in between sizes, I’d recommend sizing down.

I purchased the sneakers, too, and they are honestly the softest leather sneakers I’ve ever owned. They didn’t even cut into my ankles on the first wear and that’s a true MIRACLE, lol.

As for the white Chelsea boots, these were probably my favorite purchase of the sale. They’re the type of item that elevates even the most basic outfit. They’re super comfortable, too!

Easy Outfit Idea #2

I bought the cardigan pictured in two colors because it’s a great everyday basic. It can be dressed up or down, and the quality is awesome for the price point.

Easy Outfit Idea #3

You cannot go wrong with an all black outfit. These 3 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 pieces are chic as is, but when you pull them together they make for a killer fall outfit, winter outfit, and even travel outfit. This is one of those effortless looks that’s guaranteed to turn heads.

Easy Outfit Idea #4

I bought this Rebecca Minkoff Ruana, but haven’t received it yet. I’ll report back on sizing, but I’m super excited about it because I wanted it last year and it sold out.

As for the simple silver necklace and small silver hoops, they’re by my favorite affordable jewelry brand Gorjana. From my experience their pieces don’t tarnish, so I was excited to see some items I didn’t yet have as part of the sale. I did buy these items and I’m excited to style them. I’ll be sure to show ya’ll when I wear them both on Instagram and in the LTK app.

Easy Outfit Idea #5

Here’s one more outfit idea for that same cardigan I featured earlier, but in grey. Again, I was so impressed by the quality of this piece I got it in two colors. If there’s anything from the sale you’re going to buy double of, make it this. OR the black sneakers shown, which are the same as the white ones shown earlier. They’re just so practical. You will undoubtedly wear these on repeat!
