Happy Saturday, friends! I'm so excited to announce today's guest poster, my mom - otherwise known as CarCar! It's become an annual tradition for my mom to share her favorites from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale - I always get so many requests for this post, I think you guys may even like her style better than mine!!! Alright CarCar is going to take it from here...
Hi everyone, I'm Carla, Caitlin's mom and I'm back again this year with my picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. If you are a new follower of Caitlin's then you might not know that I am the one who is usually on the other side of the camera. We switched things up today so you guys could see what I found for fall from the Big Sale! I'm so excited to share my finds with you guys today!! I think this year's sale is better than last year's... so many cute things! I will talk about the fit and sizing for each item. For reference I am 5'4" and wear a size XS/small in tops, a 0/2 in dresses and a 26 in jeans.
Item: Halogen Varsity Knit Cardigan in "Ivory Cloud Combo"
Review: I am wearing an XS in this cardigan and it is still roomy enough to wear a sweater underneath. This cardigan could be dressed up or down, depending on where you're headed. I love the "collegiate" feel to it!
Price: Originally $89, marked down to $59.90
Item: Tory Burch Marsden Leather Zip Around Wallet in"Nut"
Review: I love the color of this wallet, I feel like I'll be using this for years to come! The leather is really high quality (and smells nice, haha).
Price: Originally $198, marked down to $131.90
Item:Paige Hoxton High Waist Ankle Skinny Jeans (Calani)
Review: I'm wearing my normal size 26 in these! Just the right amount of stretch and the fit it so flattering! The dark wash is really slimming. These jeans go with everything.

Item: Halogen Bell Sleeve Knit Top in "Black-White Stripe"
Review: Wearing an XS in this top! This top has a lot of stretch in it, which makes it very comfortable. It's pretty lightweight, so I'll be wearing it now and in the fall. I particularly love the bell sleeves!
Price: Originally $49, marked down to $29.90
Item: Paige Verdugo Ankle Skinny Jeans (Faded Vine)
Review: These jeans are true-to-size, I'm wearing a size 26! I LOVE the color of these olive-hued jeans, they're a great way to switch up your look from normal jeans. Paige jeans also last forever... I'm still wearing my pair from last year!

Item: Vince Camuto Kentvi Sandal in "French Taupe Suede"
Review: True to size. These booties go with EVERYTHING! They're super comfortable because of the open toe, and they're a great shoe to start wearing now and transition into the fall.
Price: Originally $149.95, marked down to $99.90
Review: Wearing an XS. This is my favorite outfit from the sale!! I'm a sucker for blue and white stripes, and this top is no exception. The sleeves are really different and add an extra "oomph!" This top looks equally as cute with regular jeans.
Price: Originally $79, marked down to $52.90
Item: B.P. Tonya Open Toe Mule
Review: Size down half a size in these! I can't say enough good things about these mules. The cut of the mules really elongates your legs (yes please!) and they're sooo comfortable. And I love the blush color, they will go with so much in my wardrobe.
Price: Originally $79.95, marked down to $49.90
Review: Size down in this blouse, I'm wearing an XXS. I like this blouse because it feels very youthful (I feel like I'm going back to school, haha!) but still appropriate for a woman in her 50s. The delicate embroidery makes it very feminine - if you're a plaid girl, you need this one!
Price: Originally $129, marked down to $85.90
Review: True to size. If I had to imagine the perfect fall booties - it would be these! I looked for this color last year and couldn't find it, so I was really excited to see this pair in the Nordstrom Sale this year. I'll be wearing them all of fall and winter.
Price: Originally $160.95, marked down to $99.90
Item: Tory Burch Marsden Leather Wallet Crossbody Bag in "Nut"
Price: Originally $228, marked down to $151.90
Item: Lucky Brand Yabba Wedge in "grey suede"
Review: True to size. These are really unique because of the wedge heel and the side slit. The wedge makes them incredibly comfortable!
Price: Originally $129.95, marked down to $86.90
Item: B.P. Hooded Cardigan in "Black"
Review: True-to-size! Wearing an XS. This is my favorite cardigan from the sale!!!! I love the heathered look because it gives the cardigan some dimension. It's really comfortable, and it even has a HOOD! That makes it extra cozy. It's also a little bit sporty.

Review: Caitlin and I both bought these bags from the sale this year! (Caitlin got the black and I got the olive) I've had it for two days and am already in love with it. It's so lightweight, it's going to be my everyday bag and my travel bag because it's expandable. For everyday use, I like it to keep it zipped. My felt organizer fits inside perfectly.
Price: Originally $195, marked down to $129.90
Item: Caslon Aiden Wedge Sneakers in "Taupe Perforated Leather"
Review: True to size. How cute are these wedge sneakers?! I tried them on for fun and then Caitlin told me I had to have them! They add that little bit of height that I need, but they're sporty at the same time. They really are very comfortable, I would definitely recommend these to all my wedge-lovin' people.
Price: Originally $119.95, marked down to $79.90
Item: Halogen Zip Front Field Jacket in "Olive"
Review: Wearing an XS. Love love love a good field jacket! The fit is perfect, and you can cinch the drawstring to give it some shape, which makes it more feminine. Hood... pockets... it has everything!

Item: Treasure & Bond Athletic Stripe Cardigan in "Grey Heather - Combo"
Review: Wearing an XS. This cardigan is a little dressier than the others, the knit is lighter and a fine weave. I love the stripes in the middle! I will wear this with jeans and nicer pants as well!!
Price: Originally $79, marked down to $52.90

Item: Caslon Thermal Henley Top in "White"

Review: True-to-size. I don't usually find mules to be very comfortable, so I was surprised to find that these are!! They're so versatile. Leopard is a neutral in my book!
Price: Originally $99.95, marked down to $64.90
Item: Treasure & Bond Plaid Boyfriend Shirt in "Ivory Raveler Plaid"
Review: True-to-size, wearing an XS. I styled this one a little differently than it is shown online. I unbuttoned the bottom few buttons and tied it in a knot for a sporty casual look. The shirt is really soft and looks cute layered with a cardigan on top!!
Price: Originally $69, marked down to $45.90
Item: Paige Verdugo Ankle Skinny Jeans (Faded Vine)
Review: These jeans are true-to-size, I'm wearing a size 26! I LOVE the color of these olive-hued jeans, they're a great way to switch up your look from normal jeans. Paige jeans also last forever... I'm still wearing my pair from last year!

Item: Dreamers by Debut Exposed Seam Sweater
Review: True-to-size, wearing an XS. This sweater is so soft, it feels like cashmere (although it's not). I really like the longer length, it would look cute with leggings since it covers your booty!
Price: Originally $55, marked down to $35.90
Review: I really like the colors in this scarf and it's not overwhelmingly big, like some of the blanket scarves. I feel like I could wear this with so many outfits!

Item: Ava Foldover Crossbody Bag in "Pink Rosecloud"

Price: Originally $129, marked down to $85.90
Sizing: True-to-size. I like that these are so lightweight... they aren't super heavy. I also like the light color of these and the fact that they're really comfortable.
