Please read my other post this week for important dates for the Nordstrom Anniversary sale.
This summer it’s all about the dress, and we expect fall to be no different. Many of us BA50’s are so happy to have our social lives back in full swing! Wearing dresses for all types of occasions, from backyard barbecues to cocktail parties makes us feel feminine and festive.
This year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has a phethora of dress options, from very casual to more formal styles. Standouts are dresses with flattering cutouts, midi dresses which define your waist, sophisticated florals, slip dresses, and knit styles. Read on for my top pics!
