Happy Friday!!!
Okay, this is our last official weekend of summer. Super crazy, right?! Our kids start virtual learning on Thursday, so that means whether they’re at home or maybe eventually back in the building, we have to start sticking to some sort of schedule and routine. Boo. I was enjoying them being able to stay up late and sleep in, going to the pool and not having homework to fuss with…buuuuut back to life, back to reality.
The good news?
I’m super ready for fall now because I have so many of my new Anniversary Sale finds! On Tuesday morning, I ordered my items to be picked up curbside and then also ordered some stuff online and so today, I’m sharing some pics. Now, this isn’t everything I ordered…as other items come in, I will try and share those too, but since today…
…AMBASSADOR level cardholders can shop and then on Monday, Influencers level cardholders can shop, I thought I’d post what I love so far. Also today, I’m announcing the winner of my $1000 Nordstrom Giveaway, so we better get goin’! Lots to get to today…and, as always, I’m linking up with my girls Erika and Andrea.
Here’s a little look at my take on the Anniversary Sale so far…
Helllllllllo fall! I am so ready for YOU!!! I am only posting the things I really love…and this sweater is one of them! Super cute, right?! Want to know what else I love? THE JEANS! In fact, so far, they are probably MY FAVORITE item from this year’s sale!! They are soft, they have a little stretch, they are mid-rise, they are wonderful! Everything here is TTS (xsmall sweater, 26 jeans!). And then…
I’m pretty sure I’ve bought a pair of peep toe booties the last four years in a row. I love peep toes because they’re the PERFECT transition bootie from summer to fall. They’re booties…with a little built in air conditioning when the weather isn’t quite cool yet. These come in several colors too!
Speaking of transitional outfits…
Yes to this top!!! How cute, right?! I love that it came in several “fall” colors and basics too but this cinnamon-y rust color was my fave!
I really could buy this top in other colors too…it’s really pretty and super fall! You can also top it with…
…this faux leather jacket 🙂 . Isn’t this cute?! I did size up to a small on this one and would suggest you do too!
Someone hand me a PSL…I’m ready for FALL!
Speaking of fall…
…the MINUTE I put this sweater on, I picked up my phone and ordered it in a second color. I LOVE THIS!! It’s light, it is soft and absolutely itch-free…it’s perfection!
Oh hey there necklaces 🙂 . I love my star necklace and my initial too!!
And then…
…I topped it with that jacket again 🙂 .
I ordered three pairs of jeans to show you and two of them have arrived. Now, this lighter pair is my fave, but this pair here…
…is super cute too!!! I did size down in these to a 25 (per the reviews), so keep that in mind.
DARK JEANS VS LIGHT
I also ordered these booties too which I LOVE, but I’m going to keep the peep toe instead. I wanted you to see these though because they’re super cute, available in many colors and I know some of you don’t love the peep toe…
Next up…
…tops and sneakers I will LIVE in while I’m home with kids, running errands or at the ballpark! This thermal top comes in so many solid colors, but I loved the stripe!!
And let’s talk sneakers! I thought this year’s sale had the best variety of sneakers to date!! I tried on several pairs and have decided these are the ones I love the most and am keeping. They come in a second pattern as well, but this one stole my heart. The inside feels really soft…kind of like a sherpa but it’s not sherpa…just soft.
Here were the sneakers I brought home to try…
#1:Waterproof Bootie #2: White & Green Sneakers #3: Studded Sneakers #4: High Top Slide On
…now, I don’t dislike any of them! I loved how they all fit (TTS), I loved how three of them come in multple colors/patterns, but I am going to keep #1 and #3 because overall, they’re my fave!
Speaking of faves…
…of course, I bought the Gibson top because THEY’RE SO DANG SOFT!!!!
Here it is with…
…the waterproof booties too!
Waterproof Camo Bootie Sneaker or Studded Sneaker? Both too cute!
Okay, guys, I was THRILLED with this one…
…I knew I was going to love the color of this coat!!!! Isn’t it pretty?! I said this earlier this week, but this year, I was thrilled with the amount of The North Face and Patagonia items Nordstrom had!! This coat isn’t bulky at all, I love the midi-length, it comes with a hood, seems easy to fold and pack and I’m certain will keep me warm. It comes in other colors but my heart belongs to mid-grey matte 🙂 .
Did someone say Patagonia?!
Yes, please!! Many people say to size up when ordering their pullovers, so if you’re between sizes, go ahead and do that! It’s cute with bare feet and…
…with Uggs too 🙂 .
Yes, yes, yes to Uggs in the Anniversary Sale!
Okay, as far as leisurewear and pjs went, I actually ended up finding three pairs of great pants to wear at home and then topped them all with this top here (only $16!)…
…so fun, right?! The BP jogger pants come in a variety of prints but I loved spot leopard the most, then there was these Ugg pants (um, yes!!) followed by these Zella soft pocket leggings!
It wouldn’t be an Anniversary Sale if I didn’t get all wrapped up in…
…A SOFT BLANKET!!!
I buy a new blanket every year in the sale, and it never lets me down! My kids are already fighting over this one here!! It also comes in a second color too!
Last but not least, a few of the items I bought my girls also arrived/came curbside for fall…
These two dresses are super soft and super cute! How fun is the cat one for Halloween?!
And then look at this jacket?! With Ugg boots!!!
Or little booties too 🙂 .
Oh my word!
Who is ready for fall now?!?!
When other items I ordered arrive, I promise to post them as well!
One very last thing, so many of you have been asking me about my hair, and I promise to do a tutorial soon, but it’s this A-WAVE-WE-GO that I’m using!
Okay, ready to see who won our giveaway?!?!
Drum roll please…
JEN KEELER!!!!!
…CONGRATULATIONS, Jen!!!!
You get one $500 Nordstrom gift card for yourself and then a second one to gift!!! I emailed you this morning, so please make sure you email me back ASAP!
Whew! Friends, I’m off!! I have to go enjoy that last lazy summer weekend 😉 .
Alexis deZayas says
This has me so excited for fall!!! I can’t wait to shop the sale next week!
Jen says
May I request the measurements of the blanket ?
Mix and Match Mama says
That’s weird, they don’t have it on the website! It’s big! I had three kids underneath it just last night!
Jen says
Is it a 50”
X 60”
Mix and Match Mama says
I need to get my tape measure out…hold on, I will!
Mix and Match Mama says
It measured 50″x65″!
Susan Jeffries says
I love that leopard sweater!! I am excited for the fall this year. I have always watched from afar, but I finally got a card this year, so I can shop Monday! My daughter is in college and has her first apartment, so I am stocking up on some great items for her! Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
Ohhhh! How fun for you and your daughter!!!

Carly says
School?! This feels so earlier!!
Mix and Match Mama says
For me too…which is odd considering they’ve been home with me for six months. Ha! I’m not ready to focus on real life!!!
Annaliza says
I’m am beyond ready for Fall! We have one more weekend before school starts in our part of TX. What size are you wearing in the Patagonia?
Mix and Match Mama says
xsmall!
Brooke Cabianca says
You said as soon as you put that sweater on you ordered it in a different color. What color did you choose?
Mix and Match Mama says
The gray!!!
Frances Ryals says
Love seeing all your picks! I already had the North Face jacket on my wish list in black but I am switching to that gorgeous gray!!
Kathy says
Love the leopard sweater! The dresses, Uggs, boots and jacket for the girls are all adorable!
Sara says
I thought of you with the Iowa Girl Eats post today ? Her site is gluten free ? https://iowagirleats.com/sweet-corn-recipes/
Thanks for sharing your Nordstrom finds! Have a great weekend!
Alicia Fedell says
I have the waterproof Camo shoes ready for when I can shop. Waterproof is a sports momma must! I spend SO much time in wet fields come fall and spring!
How does the little girls pink faux-leather jacker fit? I have it ready for my girls, but was curious on the sizing!
Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
A little big! I sized down for both girls (Mades a 4 and Ashby the 5-6 with plenty of room to grow on each!)
Sarina says
I am blaming you when my husband asks where all our money went… #nsale
… well Shay told me I needed it so??
Mix and Match Mama says
Hahahaha!
Kara says
I love the look of peep toe booties, but every pair I’ve ever had rubs the top of my big toe giving me a blister. Does anyone have any tips or does this only happen to me?
Dana says
Have you ever tried moleskin? Whenever I have a place that rubs, I just put it directly on the shoe and not my foot! It works every time for me. I just buy the generic at Walmart or wherever you shop.
And I don’t know why I just love these posts, Shay! They inspire me to put different outfits together and get me excited about fall. I don’t know how you make all these outfits seem new, but you always look so cute and updated!
Joanne says
Thankfully we have another full month before school stars here; i am just not ready for routine and structure yet.
Kristi says
Shay!! Really random, but will you pretty please post an updated daily eats?! I love those posts so much!!! Thanks!!
Victoria Szczechowski says
Hi Shay! What size did you order in that oatmeal color Free People sweater?? I have my eye on it in the orange/rust color and would love a sizing frame of reference. It looks less oversized on you than the pictures online.
Mix and Match Mama says
I bought it in an xsmall!
Victoria Szczechowski says
Thank you!!
Megan says
Any chance you’ll do a post on going back to school virtually and how you make it feel special and at the same time structured?
I have one heading to middle school this year and we are trying to think of ways to make it seem like a transition even though it will be happening from the kitchen table;)
Mix and Match Mama says
Our district has, in my opinion, handled everything seamlessly so far! It’s going to look very different from the spring and very similar to when they go back into the building. Their teachers are “in charge” of them the entire school day, so mom just has to sit nearby and make sure we don’t have any technical difficulties on our end. It will be very structured per the teacher. We’re going to celebrate this week just like we do every year…my kids requested that. You know…just trying to make lemonade out of lemons.
