My daughter is now 5 and shopping for her has become a challenge. In the past I would buy what I thought was cute, but the past year it turns out we have different tastes. I shopped online last year for the Nordstrom Anniversay Sale, but I ended up returning most of the girls items as my daughter was not a fan. This year, I went with a new strategy of taking my daughter in store with me. (Which, I know what you are thinking, this could have gone either way, luckily she was into it. I did bribe her with chic-fil-a after though...I'm not above bribery for some good behavior, I know when to pick my battles!) We met up with a personal stylist (an awesome way to shop the sale, especially if you are short on time, or lugging a 5 year old around!) and we hit the kids sections first so my daughter could show us her picks.
Here is the haul of what caught the eye of my 5 year old.
Tucker & Tate Cat Hoodie // Tucker & Tate moto leggings (black and pink, sold out at time of post)// Tucker & Tate Peplum Tunic // Tucker & Tate Hoodie // Ugg Classic Short Boot
And if you thought one pair of pink shoes was enough, we ended up with both pairs below as well. Because 5 year old girls love pink glitter it turns out. I may return the flats since they didn't come in half sizes and I think the size we bought is too tight. My daughter really loved them though so I'm hoping she forgets we bought them and I can sneak them back to the store and size up for her to grow into.
So, you can see we did really well on the Tucker & Tate brand, but the other brand that is always a hit during the sale is The North Face. I know it can be hard to buy jackets when it's like 100 degrees out and you haven't even taken your summer vacation yet, but it's worth it to stash away until winter. And probably not a shock to anyone reading at this point, we went with pink again here.
Check our our recent blog post A Guide to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale to learn more about who can access the sale and when. I mentioned above that we shopped with a personal stylist. Just to note, this is a free service offered by Nordstrom and it is really easy to set up on their website. You can see a list of available time slots and give your stylist a head's up what you are on the hunt for. I used it once in the past for a business trip. For the anniversary sale, this was my first time hitting the store, vs. buying online only, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I would have been roaming all over the place without the help! Our stylist got a great idea of what I would gravitate towards just on how I was dressed, and she picked items off my wish list and also some things I hadn't even seen were part of the sale via my web searching. We were in and out in 1.5 hours and that included trying on our haul. Check out the post on our top pick's for women's items to see what we loved from women.
