Nordstrom’s Annual Anniversary Sale

Screen Shot 2016-07-15 at 11.27.45 AM

As a current Nordstrom employee, I have been scoping out the anniversary products for weeks now. And a few items caught my eye the moment they hit our stock room. Other products I have discovered through multiple styling appointments with my customers.

At Nordstrom, we highly encourage customers to set up appointments and we do this because the store can literally become insane! We aren’t exaggerating, this sale is like nothing you have experienced before.

Nordstrom is about offering the best customer experience possible and we can’t do that when there are hundreds of people in the store wondering around aimlessly looking for help. Some customers love the idea of appointments and other people hate it. I like to tell customers that they can take advantage of it how they wish to, but to set one up either way! (It’s free assistance, why wouldn’t you?!)

I’ve had some appointments where I am just getting the customer a fitting room and making sure they grabbed the correct sizes. And I’ve had other appointments where I am styling the customer head to toe, bringing them water and walking the entire floor with them. It just depends on the customer.

If you want to avoid this hectic shopping altogether, follow these thinks to shop the same items online! There’s free shipping and free returns on all products.

How to Style a Leather Skirt

Leather Skirt Outfit Ideas

Leather Skirt Fashion

I used to always think you had to be super girly and preppy to wear a skirt. But now I have officially perfected how to wear a skirt, without being girly by any means.

If you want to do the same, I recommended starting with the leather skirt. Because leather adds a touch of toughness to any outfit.

To complete the look, I paired my simple leather skirt with a semi-cropped t-shirt from PacSun and one of my favorite pairs of booties from Zara. Finally, I added my black Rebecca Minkoff bag with fringe on it to give my overall outfit an edgy and sporty vibe. I love how it came together!

Currently, I only own a black leather skirt and a brown suede skirt, but I’m sure there will be some additions in the near future. My biggest tip would be to stay simple and neutral with your skirt, and of course, avoid any ruffles.
