Happy Friday! And YAY for surviving the first day of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Have you purchased some fabulous items yet? I wanted to share with you what I’ve picked up and all the items I tried on yesterday at my local Nordstrom store.

Also, I know the photos aren’t great but obviously they are in a fitting room and on my phone. 

Below you’ll find links to each item I tried on plus size references and reviews on the product. For reference I am 5’4 and 128 lbs {being honest}.

Either DM me on Instagram {@louellareese} or send me an email at louellareese.com. 

kimono {size xs/s} // t-shirt {size small}

I LOVE this kimono but decided not to do for it as I felt it was a little too pajama-y. It would be a great piece for a special occasion to wear with a satin dress + strappy heels. {sale $58.90 // after sale $89.00}

t-shirt {size small}

This t-shirt comes in six different colors and is buttery soft! A definite must have basic item. I picked up this white one and will probably go back for one or two more colors.  {sale $15.90 // after sale $24.00} 

jersey cardigan {size small} // t-shirt {size small}

I am almost 100% I could live in this cardigan! By far the softest item I tried on all day. I say this is the perfect cardigan for summer as it’s very lightweight and again soft! A great throw in your bag, have at all times cardigan. Also, would be quite nice for lounging around the house in. {sale $83.90 // after sale $126} 

mules {size 7 – TTS} 

Love at first sight for these mules. I mean they are everything! They’ll also pair very well with just about everything. A great buy for now and to wear later. {sale $59.90 // after sale $89.95}

mix media swing top {size small} // high waist skinny crop jeans {size 27 – TTS} // mules {size 7 – TTS} 

I adored this top upon laying eyes on it! Once I tried it on though, it was a different story. I have pretty broad shoulders and I honestly felt it made me look like a linebacker. If you’re smaller framed up top, this would be adorable on you! {sale $45.90 // after sale $69.00}

I was obsessed with the fit of these jeans. They fit SO well! Tight in all the right places with the exact amount of stretch you live for. I just wasn’t crazy about the slit by the ankles. A little too high for me, personally. {sale $58.90 // after sale $89.00} 

sweater vest {size x-small} // jeans {size 26 – could have worn a 25, size down two sizes} // mules {size 7 – TTS} 

This sweater vest is such a fun piece! The style offers you a variety of ways to wear it. Simply by itself as I tried it on or layered with different top variations underneath. It would also look great with another sweater or blazer layered over top of it. {sale $45.90 // after sale $69.00} 

These jeans have an amazing wash! Super flattering and OH so comfy! If you scoop up a pair of jeans during the sale, these should be it! I do recommend sizing down at least one size, ideally two. I typically wear a 27 and I was swimming in these 26s. {sale $145.90 // after sale $219.00}

sneakers {size 7} 

I did not want to take these sneakers off! They are beyond comfortable and could not fit better. Definitely true to size and obviously the laces allow you to gauge how tight you want them. These sneaks are my top recommendation in the shoe department. I will be wearing these nonstop now and all through the fall and winter seasons. {sale $66.90// after sale $99.95} 

bow blouse {size small} // jeans {size 26 – could have worn a 25, size down two sizes} // sneakers {size 7} 

I mean, how cute is this blouse? Adorable right?! The best part, it comes in white and pink too. The price is SO good too! {sale $31.90 // after sale $49.00} 

cardigan {size small} // t-shirt {size small} //  jeans {size 26 – could have worn a 25, size down two sizes} // sneakers {size 7} 

The ideal cardigan for the fall season. A great weight to it but not too heavy. Also, adorable ruffle detail in the back. Click here to see. Available in black as well. {sale $58.90 // after sale $89.00} 

sweater jacket {size 6}

Scoop this sweater jacket up if you’re into the athleisure look! Would be an awesome piece to layer over your workout wear and casual looks come cooler temps. Very warm and cozy! {sale $98.90 // after sale $149.00} 

sneakers {size 7.5}

How fun are these? I’m hardcore swooning over them. I contemplated trying them on because I knew I’d fall in love but Morgan convinced. I fell in love. Now their home with me! Right where they belong. These sneakers are really cushy but do fit a little small so size up a half size. They also come in blush pink and black as well. {sale $59.90 // after sale $89.95} 

jacket {size x-small} //  t-shirt {size small} //  jeans {size 26 – could have worn a 25, size down two sizes} // sneakers {size 7} 

You can never go wrong with an olive jacket or a faux fur trimmed hoodie. Both color and the detailing have been in style year after year. If you can combine the two in one jacket, well that’s a pretty big win! Awesome price too! {sale $109.90 // after sale $168.00}

tunic/dress {size x-small}  // sneakers {size 7} 

So believe it or not, this item is listed as tunic and shown with jeans. BUT it’s definitely a dress if you’re anywhere near my height {5’4}. There’s a really sweet bow detail in the back. Click here to see it. {sale $49.90 // after sale $75}

dress {size small} //  sneakers {size 7} 

Another adorable dress! I love how feminine and sweet this one is. I could also see it paired with booties come fall + tights for even cooler days. An every season dress in my opinion! Well worth the little splurge! {sale $196.90 // after sale $295.00} 

bee mules {size 7}

If Blair Waldorf was a shoe, she would be these mules. No question about it, these beauties were made for all the Queen Bs out there. I don’t know why I expected them to be uncomfortable but they are SO comfy! Also, they fit true to size.
