I thought you might like to see some of the things I picked up on Wednesday. I’d love to show you more, but a lot of the items I bought were pre-sale stuff so they aren’t listed on the website yet. I’ve been saving my money for months, and I actually walked away with a nice little stash without going over my max amount allowable. This budgeting thing really works now that I’ve got the hang of it.
Born Bitsy
I’m 99% sure this is what I bought, though mine are a more neutral gray-ish color so I can wear them with both cool and warm outfits. If you are a big calf girl I would recommend giving these a try. My calves are enormous (I seriously tried on like 15 pairs of boots) and though I am going to have them stretched so I can tuck my pants into them, these were the only pair that actually zipped up all the way.
Converse Chuck Taylor Low Tops
For T1, obviously.
Halogen Ribbon Belt Seer Sucker Jacket
Not Your Daughter’s Jeans Skinny Leg Jeans
My first pair of skinny leg jeans! They are going to look great with my boots 
, and yes, if you’re wondering, I did try to buy a size down. I plan to start wearing these in the fall, and I can do an exchange if they don’t fit by then.
I guess they are discontinuing these, which is really sad because they are the perfect little cover-up for summer sleveless/strapless dresses! I bought one in white and one in a nice tan color.
I had everything shipped to Chicago so it will be awhile before you see any of this popping up in any Fashionably Modest posts. For those who are also shopping the sale, have fun and good luck!

You might want to consider not stretching our your boots and wearing your slacks/pants over them because as you continue to lose weight, your calves will shrink too. Walking around with boots that have too loose calves is not all that comfortable either.
But tons of cute finds!

Oh, that blazer is so pretty - I love girly details like bows. I am also intrigued by the NYDJ skinny jeans. I’m wearing skinny jeans today and they look great in the legs but are a little too low in the rise for my taste (it doesn’t help that I’m 5’10″ and very long through the rise). I will have to check those out - are they comfortable? I’ve heard great things.
Sadly, I’ve decided to opt out of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year
Glad you were able to score some great finds though!

Are those little discontinued tops on sale? If so, I’m ALL ears!

I lurrrve shopping this way-don’t you find it so much more satisfying? I always just save up for a while and then have a big shopping day. It helps me maximize sales because instead of buying random individual sale items because they’re low priced, I can actually buy enough pieces to bridge them into my existing wardrobe. Plus, instead of having the experience of always feeling to poor to buy anything, I feel rich for a day! Ha!

Great finds! I’m also curious to hear how those jeans work out. I like jeans with lots of coverage up top
For future reference, I’ve had pretty good luck with Levi’s brand.
