Did you know that summer is one of the best times to update your wardrobe for less? No, really. There are a slew of summer sales the next few weeks, with out favorite being the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. The retailer is filled with on-sale summer staples that are perfect for wearing to work, baby showers, weddings and more. I scoured the site to find the best tops, dresses and bottoms so you don’t have to spend hours sorting through thousands of items. Let’s dive in!
1. My Favorite: I’m incorporating more color into my wardrobe, starting with this effortless pink dress. It features a maxi dress length that flatters all figures — even those with wider hips.
2. An Everyday Romper: This romper makes every day feel like a vacation. It’s crafted from lightweight cotton and features a cinched waist and matching belt. Pair with sneakers or rattan sandals.
3. Athleisure Dress: Zella has the most comfortable clothes, including an impressive athleisure lineup. This dress combines dressy with loungewear thanks to its buttery soft fabrics and seamless cutout details.

4. Sleek Coverup: If you’re hopping from the pool to run errands, take a look at this elevated coverup. The Zella Day Out Sleeveless Dress features a sporty slip-on silhouette with moisture-wicking fabric engineered for dryness and comfort.
5. Wedding Guest-Ready: If you have multiple weddings coming up, this dress is perfect for all occasions. It’s soft knife pleats steal the show and give the dress an overall draping effect. The dress is also crafted with a hidden back-zip closure and adjustable straps for a customized fit.
6. Palazzo Jeans: Even though it’s been so hot outside, there’s nothing like a good pair of jeans. This pair will quickly become a favorite in your denim rotation. They feature wide legs for cooling and a signature gap-proof, contoured waist, along with plenty of stretch for added comfort.
7. Shortie Pajama Set: You can never have to many pajamas, that’s why I added this shorts set to my cart while it’s 33% off. The pajamas are crafted with a cloud-soft material that helps you drift off to sleep. And even though it has a ribbed design, these still keep you cool as you snooze. The set includes a crop top, shorts and a matching cardigan.
8. 90s Denim Shorts: If you’re looking for a pair of shorts that’s not too short to long, snag this pair before they’re gone! The Good American shorts feature non-stretch denim with fraying cuffed hems for a casual and cool appearance.
9. Linen-Blend Pants: Is it even summer if you don’t have a good pair of linen pants? Linen is an exceptional choice for summer since the fabric is lightweight and breathable, and these pants are no exception.
10. Ab Smoothing Jeans: Wit & Wisdom’s Bennett ‘Ab’s Solution Jeans make you look your best. The black jeans are made with the brand’s Ab solution powermesh panels, which smooth the body and hold you in place.
11. Cotton Crewneck: When your other T-shirts start to look worn and tired, replace them with this versatile tee that feels good on the skin. It features a relaxed fit, crewneck and 100% pima cotton composition.
12. Major Markdown: This linen dress is 55% off during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! I can’t stop eyeing its full, flirty skirt and the double-layered bodice.
13. Everyday Tee: This shirt is another breezy option for summer when you want to conceal your bloat and stay cool. It’s made with a crewneck, which makes it easy to wear with any undergarments, and features a swing hem that can be tucked in or worn loose.
14. Oversized Sweatshirt: Okay, so it’s not a breezy pick, but you need a comfortable sweatshirt to lounge in, even in the summer months. I snagged this one for myself since it has a vintage-looking design.
15. Puff-Sleeve Top: This floral top is packed with romantic details like puff sleeves, dainty rouleau buttons and a silky finish.
16. Walking Shorts: Ditch your leggings and toss on these Nike shorts for your next hot girl walk. They’re soft, lightweight and relaxed through the hips. The shorts also have an elastic and drawstring waist and smooth side-seam pockets.
17. Summer Overalls: I’ve never been a fan of the overall trend, but after seeing Levi’s iteration, I had to give them a try! They feature Levi’s classic faded wash, which gives them a vintage-inspired feel.
