New Try-On Haul: EVEREVE, Nordstrom & More

Hi, friends! I have a rare Sunday try-on haul for you today! It’s a mix of new arrivals from EVEREVE and a few other brands, plus a handful of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale finds that have come in this week.

I don’t usually publish a blog post on Sundays, but I wanted to get these Nordstrom Anniversary Sale pieces up while they’re still in stock. As always, I’m sharing fit notes, sizing, and my honest thoughts on what’s worth considering.

Sizing Notes: For reference, I’m 5’5″ and currently wear a size 29 in denim, a small or medium in tops and dresses, and generally an 8.5 in shoes (though I often size down to an 8 in backless styles).

A Few New Finds from EVEREVE, Anthropologie & Quince

Let’s start with the non-Anniversary Sale finds! I’ve had a few orders arrive recently from EVEREVE, Anthropologie, and Quince, and I found several keepers.

Z SUPPLY Mattie Striped Mini Dress in Ash Black

c/o EVEREVE (M) // Reformation Jessie Thong Sandal (8)

PRODUCT DETAILS: Made for throw-on-and-go ease, the Mattie Striped Mini Dress by Z Supply is finished in soft cotton jersey and features a sleeveless silhouette with a flattering waist tie detail.

  • Print: Stripe
  • Neckline: Crew Neck
  • Length from Shoulder to Hem: 33″
  • Material: 100% Cotton Jersey
  • Care: Machine Wash, Delicate, Tumble Dry Low

MY THOUGHTS: This dress is so cute and flattering. I love the waist tie, the stripe pattern, and the contrasting trim at the neckline and armholes. It’s also cut slightly longer in the back for a little extra coverage. The 100% cotton jersey is soft, breathable, and comfortable while still holding its shape.

It also looks really cute with a sweater draped over your shoulders. I styled it with the Nordstrom cashmere crewneck, but the V-neck or cardigan would work just as well.

I’m definitely keeping this one. I can’t wait to wear it!

Varley Salome Raglan Sweatshirt & Atrium High Rise Short

Salome Raglan Sweatshirt c/o EVEREVE (S) // Atrium High Rise Short c/o EVEREVE (S) // Madewell Iggy (8)

PRODUCT DETAILS: Finished in buttery-soft, heathered knit fabric, the Varley Salome sweatshirt features a classic crew neckline, raglan cap sleeves, and a relaxed fit for wear-everywhere ease. The Atrium high-rise short has an adjustable drawstring waist and side pockets.

  • Sweatshirt Length from Shoulder to Hem: 23 1/4″
  • Short Measurements: 12.9″ Front Rise; 4.5″ Inseam
  • 81% Viscose, 15% Polyester, 4% Elastane Knit
  • Wash Cold, Do Not Tumble Dry, Dry Flat

MY THOUGHTS: This is a super cute and comfy set. I love the heather gray and the sporty raglan sleeves on the top.

Matching sets always look much more polished than throwing on a random sweatshirt and shorts. This would be perfect for travel days, weekends, or hanging out on vacation with family and friends.

Velvet Milouo Sweater

at EVEREVE & Velvet-Tees.com (M) // MOTHER Kick It Flood (29) // DV Oroma Sandal c/o DSW (8) // Vince Vivian Hobo // Set of 2 Resin Bangles

PRODUCT DETAILS: Crafted in a lightweight knit, the Milouo Sweater by Velvet features a crew neckline, short sleeve silhouette, and a relaxed fit. 

  • Length from Shoulder to Hem: 20″
  • Material: 60% Cotton, 40% Nylon Knit
  • Care: Hand Wash, Wash Cold, Dry Flat

MY THOUGHTS: I love this sweater. It’s a simple style, but the fit and textured knit make it feel much more special than a basic sweater tee. I especially like the rolled edges, the slightly abbreviated sleeves, and the length—it’s perfect for wearing untucked with higher-rise jeans and pants. I did find it to run a bit small through the shoulders, so I’d recommend sizing up if you’re between sizes.

DV Oroma Sandal: These are super cute and comfortable, with a nicely cushioned footbed and pretty beaded straps. I do think they run a little small. I’m wearing my usual size 8, but I would probably prefer the 8.5.

Accessories: I loved the black and amber resin bangles so much that I picked up this ivory and green set, too. They’re such an easy way to elevate a simple outfit. I also love the Vince Vivian Hobo with this look. It picks up the espresso brown of the sandals, and the woven texture keeps the overall look light and summery.

MOTHER Kick It Flood High-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans

at Anthropologie (29) // Velvet Milouo Sweater (M) // DV Oroma Sandal c/o DSW (8) // Set of 2 Resin Bangles

PRODUCT DETAILS:

  • 10.5″ rise, 28.25″ inseam, 18.25″ leg opening
  • 94% cotton, 4% polyester, 2% elastane
  • Five-pocket styling
  • Front zip
  • Machine wash
  • Made in the USA

MY THOUGHTS: I’ve been looking for a pair of white straight-leg jeans that I can wear with flats, and I think these might be it. I already know I like MOTHER’s Kick It fit, but the regular version (32″ inseam) is too long without a heel, and even the Lil Kick It (30″ inseam) still bunches a bit over my foot with flats.

This Flood version has a 28.25″ inseam, which lands in that sweet spot between ankle and full length. It might sound like an awkward length, but I actually think it works really well—especially with flat sandals like these.

Aritzia The Esquire Short Trench Coat – Marcona Beige

at Aritzia (M) // PAIGE Leenah (29) // Sam Edelman Saige (8.5)

PRODUCT DETAILS: This is a double-breasted trench coat with welt hand pockets, epaulettes and a classic fit. It’s expertly tailored from City Twill — slick, water-repellent cotton twill with a smooth yet soft feel. This fabric’s sourced from a premier Italian mill.

  • Origin: Fabric from Italy
  • Content: 100% cotton; Lining: 100% cupro 
  • Care: Dry clean
  • Fit: Classic — An easy fit with a little room
  • Length: Hi-Hip — Intended to hit just above the hip
  • Body Length: Size S is 22″ from the high shoulder point 

MY THOUGHTS: I’ve been wanting to upgrade my short trench since I wear one so often in the spring and fall, and I may bring it with me to Paris in September. (Just saying Paris in September makes me positively giddy!)

I tried this one in a small a while back, but it was too snug through the back and arms. It’s also fairly cropped, so I decided to order the medium during Aritzia’s sale a couple of weeks ago for a little extra length. The medium is definitely the right size for the body, although the sleeves are a bit long on me. I may look into having them tailored.

I also ordered the Wicker Tan color. It’s beautiful, but it’s a warmer beige, and I think the Marcona Beige is more flattering on my skin tone.

Overall, I love the fit and quality of this jacket. The fabric feels lightweight, soft, and crisp all at the same time, with just the right amount of structure. It’s also water resistant, which is a nice upgrade from my old trench. I’m really happy with this purchase.

Quince Mongolian Cashmere Cropped Crew Cardigan

at Quince (M) // PAIGE Leenah (29) // Sam Edelman Scottie (8.5) // beaded bracelets // toggle necklace

PRODUCT DETAILS: A boxy, waist-skimming silhouette with a timeless crew neckline, tonal iridescent buttons, and refined ribbed trim. Equal parts polished and laid-back, it’s easy to dress down with denim or layer over a slip dress on a chilly evening out.

  • Measurements: Slightly cropped fit
  • Material: 100% Grade-A Mongolian cashmere
  • Care: Hand wash cold. Lay flat to dry.

MY THOUGHTS: I fell in love with this sweater after seeing it in an Instagram ad! I could immediately tell it had that relaxed fit I love in a crewneck cardigan, with a slightly wider neckline and a great cropped length. The color is gorgeous, too—it’s somewhere between brown and gray, making it a really versatile neutral.

I ordered both the small and medium. While the small fit, I much preferred the more relaxed look of the medium. If you like an oversized fit, you could even size up one more.

Style Tip: I pushed up the sleeves and left a couple of buttons undone at the top and one at the bottom to give it an even more relaxed, effortless look.

New Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Finds

Moving on to my recent Nordstrom Anniversary Sale purchases… I keep finding hidden gems! If you missed them, don’t forget to check out my Fitting Room Try-Ons for more outfit ideas and favorite finds from the sale.

One quick note: Nordstrom’s inventory has been a little unusual this year. Some items appear to be well stocked but are only available in select stores, so it’s not always easy for me to tell what’s available to everyone online. I’m doing my best to only share pieces that are in stock, but if something isn’t available for shipping, it may still be available at a store near you.

PAIGE Leenah High Waist Wide Leg Jeans

at Nordstrom (29) // Nordstrom Cashmere Crew (M) // Quince cardigan (M) // rag & bone Boyfriend Belt (M) // Sam Edelman Scottie (8.5) // beaded bracelets in brown/black/gold

PRODUCT DETAILS: Refresh your denim collection with stretchy, full-length jeans featuring a chic bow-leg shape and trouser-style hems.

  • 32″ inseam; 22″ leg opening; 10 3/4″ front rise
  • Zip fly with button closure
  • Five-pocket style
  • 98% cotton, 2% elastane
  • Machine wash, tumble dry

MY THOUGHTS: The Leenah is a slim wide-leg style with a subtle bow shape, which I really like (maybe because I’m a little knock-kneed, lol!). The trouser-style hems give them a slightly dressier look, and this soft ecru shade is a nice alternative to crisp white.

With a 32″ inseam, they’re definitely on the long side, but I can wear them without hemming if I pair them with about a 3″ heel. They run true to size.

FYI: They’re also available in a gorgeous dark wash version that’s still fully stocked.

Sam Edelman Scottie: These boots are a great option, with a softly pointed toe and block heel. Unfortunately, the color I’m wearing sold out, but there are still a few other colors and sizes available.

Accessories: The beaded bracelets in the brown, black, and gold combo finally came in, and I love them. They make a more subtle statement than the amber and black resin bangles, but they still look on trend and combine brown and black in a modern way.

Sam Edelman Swing Jacket in Sand

at Nordstrom (S) // Velvet Milouo Sweater (M) // MOTHER Kick It Flood (29) // DV Oroma Sandal c/o DSW (8)

PRODUCT DETAILS: Sleek, chic and full-coverage, this jacket gives season-spanning style to everyday ensembles.

  • Stand collar; attached hood
  • Front welt pockets
  • Lined
  • 100% polyester
  • Machine wash, tumble dry

MY THOUGHTS: I really like this fresh take on a classic trench. The raglan sleeves, swing silhouette, and rounded back hem give it a modern look while leaving plenty of room for layering. It’s very comfortable to wear, and I don’t feel constricted when pulling it on and off, which is a pet peeve of mine.

The contrasting chocolate brown collar is a fun detail, and the attached hood and water-resistant fabric make it a practical choice for rainy days. Here’s a look at it fully zipped.

Unfortunately, this sand color has sold out, but it’s still available in black, which is a really chic option. I might even prefer the black since I already own several tan trench-style jackets.

I’m wearing the small, and it’s plenty roomy, so I’d recommend sizing down if you’re between sizes.

Barbour Hebrides Longline Waterproof Jacket with Removable Hood

at Nordstrom (6) // KUT Jean (6) // Marc Fisher Sasha (8.5)

PRODUCT DETAILS: A detachable hood means you’re ready to brave whatever the weather has in store in this waterproof jacket refined with a longline silhouette and elegant faux-horn buttons.

  • 37 1/2″ length
  • Front zip closure with button storm placket
  • Spread collar; removable hood
  • Front flap pockets
  • Waterproof
  • Lined
  • 75% cotton, 25% polyamide
  • Machine wash, line dry

MY THOUGHTS: This is another great trench-style raincoat option from the Anniversary Sale. You really can’t go wrong with Barbour quality, and I love the classic silhouette with the contrasting faux-horn buttons. It’s fully waterproof and has lots of thoughtful details, including a zip-and-snap storm placket, a removable hood, and deep front flap pockets that snap closed.

I’m wearing my usual size 6, and it has plenty of room for layering. It does feel a little more structured when pulling it on and off than the Sam Edelman jacket, but that’s simply due to the more tailored cut. It’s not a deal breaker, and I wouldn’t size up.

I have a feeling this coat will be coming with me to Paris in September!

Nordstrom Cashmere Crewneck Sweater in Beige Beach

at Nordstrom (M) // KUT Jean (6) // Marc Fisher Sasha (8.5) // beaded bracelets // toggle necklace

PRODUCT DETAILS: Designed with refined ribbed trim at the neckline, cuffs, and hem, it offers a polished silhouette that elevates any smart-casual look.

  • 100% cashmere
  • Dry clean
  • Imported

MY THOUGHTS: Nordstrom includes a version of this sweater in the Anniversary Sale every year, and it’s one of my favorite wardrobe basics. The cashmere is lightweight, soft, and not at all itchy, and the classic crewneck styling makes it easy to layer under jackets or wear on its own with a few accessories.

It also drapes beautifully over your shoulders without adding a lot of bulk, if you like that look. It runs true to size. I’m wearing the medium for a more relaxed fit.

Nordstrom Cashmere V-Neck Cardigan

at Nordstrom (S) // KUT Jean (6) // Vince Camuto Kebrah Bootie (8.5) // beaded bracelets // toggle necklace

PRODUCT DETAILS: Love at first layer, this irresistibly soft cardigan cashes in on cashmere coziness and generous raglan sleeves for a look that’s as laidback as it is luxe.

  • 24 1/2″ length
  • Front button closure
  • V-neck
  • Long sleeves
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem
  • 100% cashmere
  • Dry clean

MY THOUGHTS: This is another great cashmere option from the Nordstrom brand. It has a flattering V-neck and a more traditional length, making it easy to wear open over a cami or fitted tee, or buttoned up as I styled it here. It runs true to size. I’m wearing the small, but you could go with the medium if you wanted a more relaxed fit.

PAIGE Sofia Flare Jeans

at Nordstrom (29) // Splendid Rosalina Turtleneck Sweater (S) // Vince Camuto Mayenni Bootie (8.5)

PRODUCT DETAILS: Add a vintage vibe to your casual-chic looks with full-length flare jeans made from heritage-inspired, low-stretch denim with a loved-them-for-years faded wash.

  • 33″ regular inseam; 28″ petite inseam
  • 21 1/2″ leg opening; 10 1/2″ front rise
  • Zip fly with button closure
  • Five-pocket style
  • 98% cotton, 2% elastane
  • Machine wash, tumble dry

MY THOUGHTS: These are a classic bootcut jean in a nice medium wash, and they have a really good fit and feel. They’re very flattering, albeit not the most current silhouette. The 33″ inseam is quite long, so I’ll need to have them hemmed, but that also makes them a great option for the taller ladies among us!

Splendid Rosalina Short Sleeve Turtleneck: I’m not doing a full review because it’s mostly sold out, but I love it. It’s soft and comfortable, with a great length, and the cable knit and mock neck are such pretty details.

Vince Camuto Mayenni Bootie: I’ve already reviewed these (don’t miss my fitting room try-ons!), but they’re still one of my top recommendations from the sale and remain well stocked in both colors. I love both the black leather and the chocolate brown.

KUT from the Kloth The Jean High Waist Wide Leg Jeans

at Nordstrom (6) // cashmere cardigan (S) // Vince Camuto Kebrah Bootie (8.5) // beaded bracelets

PRODUCT DETAILS: Relaxed and traditionally styled, these stretchy jeans have a high waist and full-length wide legs for a casual-chic everyday look.

  • 31 1/2″ inseam; 22″ leg opening; 10 1/2″ front rise
  • Zip fly with button closure
  • Five-pocket style
  • 96% cotton, 3% polyester, 1% spandex
  • Machine wash, dry flat

MY THOUGHTS: If you’re looking for a more affordable pair of jeans, these are definitely worth a look. The Jean from KUT from the Kloth falls somewhere between a slim wide-leg and a relaxed straight-leg silhouette, making them flattering and easy to wear.

They felt a little longer than the listed 31½-inch inseam, although that may just be this particular pair. I noticed quite a bit of inconsistency in inseam lengths across the denim I tried on during this year’s sale.

They also run a bit big. The size 6 fits me comfortably, and I think they’ll relax a little more with wear.

Treasure & Bond Cap Sleeve Stretch Cotton & Modal Rib T-Shirt

at Nordstrom (M) // MOTHER Kick It Flood (29) // Dolce Vita Marten Mary Jane (8.5)

PRODUCT DETAILS: A step up from a classic T-shirt, this fitted top is made from soft and stretchy rib-knit fabric lightened with a dose of fluid modal.

  • Crewneck
  • Cap sleeves
  • 77% cotton, 19% modal, 4% spandex
  • Machine wash, tumble dry

MY THOUGHTS: This is such a great basic ribbed tee. The fabric is incredibly soft, which I really appreciate because ribbed knits can sometimes feel stiff. It’s definitely meant to fit close to the body, and the medium fits me just as intended. I also tried the large, but it was too loose around the armholes.

I love the cap sleeves, they’re so flattering. This is an easy layering piece, but it’s just as good on its own with jeans or linen pants this summer.

Dolce Vita Marten Mary Jane: I love these, but unfortunately this color has sold out. Other colors are still available, and they run true to size.

rag & bone The Stripe Organic Pima Cotton Slub T-Shirt

at Nordstrom (M) // MOTHER Kick It Flood (29) // Dolce Vita Marten Mary Jane (8.5)

PRODUCT DETAILS: Mixed stripes animate this fitted, vintage-vibe T-shirt made from soft cotton slub that gives it subtle detail and texture.

  • 24″ length (size Small)
  • Crewneck
  • Short sleeves
  • 100% organic pima cotton
  • Machine wash, dry flat
  • Made in Peru

MY THOUGHTS: This is a really nice-quality tee, with thoughtful details like the center back seam, contrasting trim at the neckline, and mixed stripe pattern. The chocolate brown is right on trend, and the longer length is great with lower-rise jeans. It’s definitely worth a look if you prefer a tee with a little more polish than your basic striped T-shirt.

And that’s the best of what’s arrived over the past week! I hope this post is helpful if you’re still shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale or just looking for a few fresh pieces for late summer and early fall.

As always, if you have any questions about sizing, styling, or anything I tried on, leave a comment below or send me a message. I’m always happy to help!

  1. Hi Jo-Lynne, I’ve ordered a few of your recommendations from the Anniversary sale but haven’t received them yet. I love everything about the Quince sweater (color, silhouette, length). I just wish it wasn’t cashmere. It never seems to get cold enough where I live to wear it. I’d love to find one in mostly cotton. I have a question about the DV Oroma sandals. The only review on DSW says that the make a squishy noise with every step. Do you notice that? Your try-ons are so helpful!

    1. Betsy, Quince sells a cotton cashmere blend that feels wonderful. There are near as many options as the all cashmere, but it’s worth a look.

  2. Thank you for all these try-ons! Tried ordering the Nordstrom crew neck cashmere sweater in beige beach and the Paige sofia jean, but both said “only available for store pick up” and then “unavailable to pick up at your store” which is KofP. Hadn’t come across this limitation in previous years. Not sure what this new technicality is?

    1. Yeah, I haven’t seen it either. I think what they are doing is cutting down on the amount of orders they are shipping out. If things are low inventory, just waiting for someone willing to do store pickup? It must be a lot of work for store personal to ship so many items. Easier to bag up and let someone pick up?

  3. I ordered the Kut from the Kloth Jean in both washes and they are very long! I measured one of the pairs and the inseam is 33” not even close to the 31 1/2 that is listed. Hanging on to them for now but I’ve ordered the petite. Hoping they will also be longer than what’s listed and will be full length!

    1. Yeah, I tried a few different sizes of the same jeans at the store on Tuesday, and it was so weird. In two instances, the smaller size was actually longer than the larger one (in the same style and wash of jeans.)

  4. Do you ever order petite jeans? I noticed that the Paige Sofia is 28″ inseam in petite vs the 33″ you plan to get hemmed.

  5. Thanks for the new try-on haul! Despite being deep in the NSale, I think my favorite from this haul is the dress from Evereve. It is such a good fit on you and seems like it could really fill in that middle spot between really casual and more dressy. I got the Kut Jean from last year’s NSale and they were probably overall my fave jeans all last winter. They have such a flattering cut. I ordered the lighter pair from this year’s sale and I’m hoping I will love them just as much. I chose the light wash over the ones you got because they came in petite and I like the shape of the back pockets for something different. It’s sort of wild that the Paige Sophia has a 5″ difference between regular and petite lengths! Not sure I’ve ever seen that big a difference. I’ve also ordered the DV Marten mary janes in the plain black. I love the grommets for that slightly edgier look!

  6. I’m going to have to try the Evereve dress again. I saw it in store a couple weeks ago and thought it was too short on my 5’4” frame when I tried it on.

  7. This may be a dumb question but if I have trouble with wool sweaters…. Itching…..would I also have trouble with these soft cashmere sweaters? I haven’t bought any to try fighting wool is wool. Great finds.

    1. Kathy I bought a cashmere sweater from Quince this past winter. I was worried about itching but it didn’t bother me. I did wear a spaghetti tank under it but my arms still didn’t itch at all. Hope it helps.

  8. Kathy– I have sensitive skin too and hesitate with cashmere–and I swear they are all different how they feel. I enjoy cotton sweaters the most. Why are all the cute jeans sooooo long? I hate paying for altering. Jo-Lynne–your weightloss has never been more apparent then in this post! You look incredible!
