Every year this sale happens, It always gets me so excited for the Fall season. Especially now that I actually get to experience Fall, living in North Carolina! I know there is a lot of hype and press regarding this sale and it can feel really overwhelming at times- like there is this sense of urgency to go out and buy literally everything. I definitely wouldn’t recommend doing that, because the satisfaction will be fleeting, and your credit card bills won’t be! And it certainly adds up!
That is why this year I chose to break things down into the 6 categories (referred to as the ABC’s- Athleisure, Boots & Beauty, etc.) I believed to be the most beneficial to browse and consider shopping during this Sale. If you missed that blog post on how I recommend shopping this sale, I have it linked here if you want to go back and catch up.
Today though, now that everyone has been officially able to shop, I am excited to share with you some outfit inspiration for the pretty pieces I picked up this year, or had the previous year’s version of, that are still in stock in most sizes!
I hope this helps you piece together several outfits with some great styling inspiration on a budget, and mostly helps you narrow down your choices if you are still considering what to shop!
Here are the 4 outfits still in stock in some sizes that I can’t wait to wear as the weather begins to cool down.
1. Warm & Stylish Layers
Cozy up in these warm and stylish layers. Everything fit true to size. Wearing a small in the top and cardigan, and 7.5 in the otk boots!
The top is still available in two other colors and is just $25.
The Cardigan is super warm and has slits on each side. It’s very limited in sizing (& may be sold out by the time I hit publish) so I linked an even less expensive, similar color one here— and this one has pockets!!
The Over the Knee Boots are available in black so I’ve also linked a tan color in a similar price range version here. These are a little more camel-tan colored than brown Nordstrom ones and you’ll want to size up one in them- they run small.
2. My favorite Sweater from the Sale
I love a good Ted Baker find and it’s so rare for a new piece of theirs to go on sale. So naturally I had to scoop up this preppy, feminine sweater!
This sweater is my favorite and it fits true to size- I’m wearing a 1. It also comes in a pretty dusty light pink color and both are showing in stock in almost all sizes still!
These little white booties paired perfectly with the top and are showing in stock in almost all sizes as well! They have a light crocodile leather embossing on them which is fun. Fits TTS-wearing a 7.5.
3. The only Dress I bought from the Sale
This dress was in my “For Fun” category on the blog as one of those little extras that if you have the money would be so pretty to have and wear for work and weekends in the Fall.
I love this dress, however I highly recommend sizing down one or even two sizes. I ordered a small and am sending back for the XS. Especially since it has smocking, it is stretchier up top and I felt like it was really loose on me. There is also a zipper closure in the back. It is also available in a leopard print.
Wearing the same booties from the previous photo and love them with this dress and so many other fall dresses!
4. Designer Dupe OTK Boots under $100
Wear this chic look for a date night or girls night out!
I love these boots for several reasons. They are under$100 for starters which is a great price for OTK boots. But also, they have the zipper hidden in the side which is in my opinion nicer than some versions that put the zipper in the back.
They are also stretchy but tight enough to stay up on smaller calves and legs. The top perimeter has like a sticky lining strip to help them stay up around your thigh. I’ve shared a video of that detail to my stories in the highlight titled “Nsale”.
The top is only $32 and I love the mock neck and overall casual-slightly oversized fit of it. Great quality too! Can’t wait to wear this look and all the others soon!
