Hello and happy Monday!  It’s the final few days of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and the last opportunity to get some new items to update your Fall wardrobe.  While quite a few popular items have sold out, there have actually been quite a few restocks and some of my favorites are still available!  I’m focusing on pieces that are would be great for the workplace since I’ve received several requests on that end now that offices are opening back up.  Read on for my top 10 (actually I threw in a bonus item that just popped in stock so you get a top 11!) must-have pieces to shop from this once-a-year sale!

1.  BB Dakota Paisley Minidress

 

Dress: BB Dakota Paisley Minidress (XS / TTS) – NSale! (similar)
Shoes: Sam Edelman ‘Olly’ Knee High Boots (6 / size up) – NSale! (similar – NSale!)
Hat: Nordstrom Floppy Wool Felt Panama Hat – NSale! (similar, similar – both on NSale!)
Necklace: Sequin NYC Sun Ray Talisman – code KILEEN20 for 20% off!
Bag: Strathberry East/West

I call this “fall in a dress” as the colors remind me so much of all the beautiful foliage that starts happening as we transition into cooler weather.  This dress is lightweight and breathable, perfect for the in-between weather.  The vibrant colors are perfect if you’re looking for an outfit for photos and I love the stretching smocking details at the waist and wrist cuffs.

 

2.  Club Monaco Fringe Knit Tank +
3. Tory Burch Striped Crossbody

Top: Club Monaco Fringe Knit Tank (XS / TTS) – NSale! (similar)
Bottom: Rag & Bone Ankle Skinny Jeans (24 / TTS) – mine are old (similar – NSale!)
Bag: Tory Burch Striped Crossbody – NSale! (shoulder bag option – NSale!)
Necklace: Sequin NYC Sun Ray Talisman – code KILEEN20 for 20% off!
Earrings: Amazon Gold Tube Hoops

 

Club Monaco is a brand I’ve always wanted more of in my closet as the pieces are of such high quality, beautifully made, and classics that can be worn year after year.  This fringe tank has already been on repeat since I bought it as the sleeveless style is perfect for the hot summer yet also layers beautifully under a blazer once temps do cool down.

I had my eyes on this Tory Burch crossbody when I first saw the preview for the NSale and it’s SO. CUTE.  I love the stripes, the color combination that’s both colorful yet neutral, and the fabric / leather textures.  This purse just popped back in stock this morning so get it quick if you’ve had it on your list as well!

 

4.  1.State Ruffle Sleeve Mixed Media Top

Top: Nordstrom 1.State Ruffle Blouse (XS / TTS) – NSale! (similar, similar)
Bottom: Spanx Perfect Pant Ankle Backseam Skinny (XS Petite / TTS) – NSale!

Watch: Fitbit ‘Versa’ w/ Spark*l Band in Leopard Nubuck (XS) – 10% off w/ CUTENLITTLE

 

For a blouse with more coverage, I love this mixed media style from 1.State.  It’s just enough ruffle to add a bit of femininity while the fit and drape look professional and polished.

5.  Spanx Perfect Pant Ankle Backseam Skinny

Top: Nordstrom 1.State Ruffle Blouse (XS / TTS) – NSale! (similar, similar)

The Spanx Perfect Pant Ankle Skinny is now restocked and it’s hands-down my favorite workwear piece from the Anniversary Sale!  I’m so excited to have chic pants to wear to the office now that don’t make me feel self-conscious and are comfy just like leggings!  See this post for a full review!

6.  Steve Madden ‘Tava’ OTK Boots

Top: Nordstrom Cece Embroidered Floral Puff Blouse (XS / TTS) – NSale! (similar, similar)
Bottom: BlankNYC Zip Suede Miniskirt (24 / TTS) – NSale! (also here, here, here)
Shoes: Steve Madden ‘Tava’ OTK Boots (5.5 / TTS) – NSale!
Bag: Strathberry East/West

 

Over-the-knee boots are my go-to for when I want added warmth on my bottom half without adding lots of bulk.  These over-the-knee boots surprised me with how well they stay up and I love the pointy toe along with the chunky heel.  If you’re looking to get into the otk boot style but don’t want to drop over $100, definitely give this boot a try!

7.  Sam Edelman ‘Olly’ Knee High Boots

Dress: BB Dakota Paisley Minidress (XS / TTS) – NSale! (similar)
Shoes: Sam Edelman ‘Olly’ Knee High Boots in sesame (6 / size up) – NSale! (similar – NSale!)
Hat: Nordstrom Floppy Wool Felt Panama Hat – NSale! (similar, similar – both on NSale!)
Necklace: Sequin NYC Sun Ray Talisman – code KILEEN20 for 20% off!
Bag: Strathberry East/West

 

A couple years ago, I bought a similar pair of Sam Edelman boots and they quickly became my go-to boots.  I love the sleek pull-on style with the chunky block heel.  If you’re petite and have shorter legs like me (I’m 5′ tall!), this style can also be ruched so that it doesn’t hit awkwardly in the middle of the knee.  I have the sesame suede color here but am definitely eyeing the eggshell leather option as well!

8.  Steve Madden ‘Cedar’ Bootie

Shoes: Steve Madden ‘Carson’ Bootie (5.5 / TTS) – NSale!  (similar – NSale!)
Bottom: Good American ‘Good Legs’ Jeans (00 / TTS) – NSale! (similar – NSale!)

 

I have a similar pair of booties to this style that I picked up from previous Nordstrom Anniversary Sales, and have worn them so much that I definitely needed a new pair for this year!  I love this easy style as the notches on the side are so flattering for lengthening your leg, the neutral color goes with everything, plus the chunky heel makes the comfy enough even for those days I’m on my feet for several hours!

9. Marc Fisher LTD ‘Cadri’ Booties

Shoes: Marc Fisher LTD ‘Cadri’ Booties (5.5 / TTS)- NSale! (similar – NSale!)

 

Can you tell I love booties??   The ‘Cadri’ bootie here is another pull-on style but I particularly love how it’s slim around the ankle.  It makes it ideal for pairing with jeans and dresses, while this darker cognac color is great for Fall!

10.  Dolce Vita ‘Huey’ Studded Bootie

Top: BlankNYC Plaid Shirt Jacket (XS / size down) – (similar, similar)
Bottom: Abercrombie Curve Love High Rise Super Skinny Ankle (24 short / TTS) – (also here)
Shoes: Dolce Vita ‘Huey’ Studded Bootie (5.5 / size down) – NSale!
Sunglasses: Amazon Square Cateye Sunglasses

 

These studded boots are probably best if you work in a casual office setting, but I just love the look of the lug booties that are making a comeback this Fall.  This one from Dolce Vita has subtle stud details as well as a 2 1/2″ wedge heel.  I actually found these boots to run slightly big and would recommend going down a 1/2 size.

11.  Tory Burch ‘Carson’ Hobo Bag

Top: Nordstrom 1.State Ruffle Blouse (XS / TTS) – NSale! (similar, similar)
Bottom: Spanx Perfect Pant Ankle Backseam Skinny (XS Petite / TTS) – NSale! 
(also here – 10% off w/ code KILEENXSPANX)
Bag: Tory Burch ‘Carson’ Hobo Bag – NSale! (similar, similar – NSale!)
Belt: Gucci Double G 0.8″ Belt (80) – (similar)
Shoes: similar leopard pumps (also similar)
Necklace: Sequin ‘Sun Ray’ Talisman – 10% off w/ KILEEN20
Watch: Fitbit ‘Versa’ w/ Spark*l Band in Leopard Nubuck (XS) – 10% off w/ CUTENLITTLE

 

I always pick up a Tory Burch handbag (or two! ) from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and this year’s options are just so good!!  This hobo bag comes in black and cream and I just love that the bag has a style that’s both professional yet still a bit casual — it’s truly a work-to-weekend bag that will go with everything!  It comes with a longer strap so this bag can be worn crossbody as well as just on the shoulder like I have here.
