Today on Prada & Pearls, I’m doing a Nordstrom Try-on haul for you guys!  Specially, I wanted to show you how to create a capsule wardrobe with pieces from Nordstrom.  The sale has finally come to Canada (the pre sale only opened in Canada on July 17th – the struggle is real)!  I have a Nordstrom credit card so I shopped the sale early for the first time ever!  If you’re waiting for public access make sure you go early because these items are sure to fly off the racks!

This years sale has SO many awesome items, which made it really difficult to choose from! Before I get into the try on, I wanted to put together some tips and tricks to shopping the sale, since it can be overwhelming:

  1. Go for basics

    Okay so this is important.  There have been so many times that I’ve shopped sales were I’ve purchased crazy statement pieces that I only wear once then wonder why I ever purchased them.  This sale I wanted to go for basics!

  2. Capsule Wardrobe

    A capsule wardrobe is something that you can wear all year around.  This is what I was aiming for during this sale,  I wanted to go for pieces that I could wear in the fall, winter and spring.

  3. Work and Casual wear

    I work in a business casual office environment so I was aiming to get pieces that I could wear to work AND wear on the weekends.  This isn’t always easy to do, which is why I was aiming for lots of cardigans!

  4. Scope out items before hand

    Before I went into Nordstrom I scoped out items I wanted to try on by going on the Nordstrom website.  Trust me, this saves SO much time.   In store can be very over whelming and items online can sell out super quick so its easier to pre plan what items you want to purchase to make your shopping experience seamless!

Okay so this outfit is THE comfiest look EVER!  I’ve been meaning to purchase a North Face vest for the longest time.  It’s the easiest thing to throw on over a plain white long sleeve.  This is the type of look I would wear on a crisp fall day or cool spring morning.  I paired this vest with the comfiest leggings that are less than $30!!  They come in black as well – I just love the details on them.
