I'm following Putting Me Together because I like her style and her recommendations are usually pretty accurate for me.
I'm also watching Sandy a la mode because her try on pics are helpful for my body type.
On my list so far for the pre sale:
Wit and Wisdom absolution jeans (comfiest waistband and no gapping when you bend over)
Adidas or Nike black sneakers
Sorel boots
Caslon or BP cardigan
Zella workout pants
Supergoop sunscreen
I just looked online and it’s pretty disappointing. I don’t think I am buying a single thing this year and usually I buy too much.
I placed 4 orders in 30 minutes.
90% of mine goes back.
High hopes for the sorel boots, excited that zella high waist leggings had the 7/8 length available, Calson off duty knit cardigan, Caslon cowl
Neck dress( I buy 1 of these every year)- among several other things
I bought a few things. What I'm really hoping works out is this:

I think it's very cute and will make a fun topper.
I also bought these sneakers, and hope they're cute, I love the thought of a metallic sneaker. It has excellent reviews.

I didn't end up buying these, because I have too many Uggs, and really too many boots in general. But I think they're cute:

I'm not sure I'll end up buying much either, everything felt a bit....the same as previous years. They had a lot of cute booties, but I'm set on booties and shoes in general I think. I did buy several pairs of jeans, I've had good luck with Kut from the Kloth and they finally had some that weren't distressed/consistently dyed, and i've been trying to replace some I wear to work. I got a couple tops for work, and a couple bras and some shapewear. Here's what made it into my cart:

https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-c...blouse/5266236 I just got this a couple weeks ago and really like it but it feels a little big.(it was already on sale). Trying in a smaller size whcih wasn't available a few weeks ago - do they remove inventory before the sale? I paid the same price then as it is now.

https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/spanx-t...dysuit/4287436 I already have this in black and it cuts a bit in my shoulders but otherwise I've been very pleased with it under dresses, not line at the waist the way you get with shorts style shapers.

Things I saw that looked good but I didn't buy:
I didn't buy any of the W&W absolution jeans mostly but I bought 2 pairs of their pants this summer and have liked them
https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/two-by-...regular-petite - but I really don't need any more leggings
https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kut-fro...regular-petite -These look just like the ones I bought last year (which have been great, but still - ready for some new styles!)
I only had a little time at lunch, I haven't made it out of the petite and bra sections yet ....if I get 1 pair of jeans + shirt and a bra I'll be happy

re: bloggers to follow: I like youlookfab's reviews although she tends to go higher market then I do. She includes observations from seeing things on her various clients/body types.
cookiemonster - what dress do you get? I'd love to get a cowl neck dress.

Those links are dead, I wonder if they're sold out already?
I like that Vince Camuto hammered blouse a lot, but it wouldn't be flattering on me.
I know what you mean about a lot of the stuff being the same. I was looking for cardigans and tops, and I felt like I had most of the cardigans, and the tops were mostly meh.

I thought the same thing - I'm short and chesty and I usually avoid anything flowy like that, but it looked better than I expected (although I guess I'm not entirely satisfied with the fit since I'm trying a size smaller). It felt great in the summer humidity. I neglected to look at the washing instructions....I like that Vince Camuto hammered blouse a lot, but it wouldn't be flattering on me.

I always like the Longchamp expandable tote they offer for the Anniversary Sale each year. One year I bought Black, another year the Bilberry color, and this time I ordered Graphite. This expandable style made specifically for the Anniversary Sale is made in France, which I like. Most Longchamp nylon totes are not made in France anymore.
Also ordered a girls’ North Face Resolve rain jacket in graphite grey in the largest size for myself.
Ordered the Ecco Soft 7 High Top Sneaker in Black/Dark Shadow and the Born Tombeau Lace Up Boot.
Not sure whether I will keep all, some or none of these purchases.
