It’s been a big week on My 9 to 5 Shoes! Everyday this week I have been doing a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Roundup for the best of the best with each day focused on a different category. Today’s focus is Dresses – something very near and dear to me because I wear them tons!  I’ve already covered Suits, Skirts, Shoes and Jackets!!  This post is just in time for the start of Public Days (today Friday July 21st).

Worried you missed all the good stuff?!? Not a chance.  I’ll let you in on a little secret … they restock the sale for the start of public days. (In fact, they restock almost daily throughout the sale). If your size isn’t there today, check again tomorrow!  #StalkNordstrom

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Dress Roundup

UPS has not been my friend this week.  Four of the packages were delivered to the neighbors (good thing they know and like us), one package went missing (for about 8 hours) and the rest are still in route.  Why do you care about my UPS woes?  Because these boxes have dresses in them.  I’ve received four of several I ordered so I will show you what I can but realize there are more coming. #lotsmore  #hopefullysoon #fingerscrossed

Sleeveless Dresses

Diane von Furstenberg Colorblock Knit Dress
 
 
I highlighted this DVF dress during the first Dressing Room Diaries.  This one is a definite winner.  In the office I paired it with this Emerson Rose cardigan.  It also works with my black suit jacket.  If you are all about the color combination but not the body con look – try this Kate Spade one instead.  If the color blocking sings to you but not the price tag – try this Eliza J alternative.  
Classiques Entier® Pinstripe Stretch Silk Midi Dress
Do I need to remind you about me and pinstripes?  This Classiques dress is classic pinstripe with a twist making it very interesting to me.  I like the handkerchief hem and longer length.  Pair this with a grey suit jacket or cardigan if you need the coverage or warmth.  #PinStripesfortheWin
Vince Camuto Colorblock Sheath Dress
Emerson Rose Houndstooth Sheath Dress
I love the indecisiveness of the pattern and the lace edging on this Emerson Rose dress.  I also purchased these shoes so I’m looking to see if the whole outfit really comes together as shown.  #AlsoStuckinUPSLand
Classiques Entier® Italian Ponte Knit Sheath Dress
Another Classiques Classic.  The only thing more staple for work than a sheath dress is a pencil skirt. This one came in two other colors.  Love this color but need sleeves or just love ruffles – then try this Halogen Bell sleeve instead. #ThisCouldArriveANYDayNow #OrMonday 

Dresses with Sleeves

Main Image - Vince Camuto Scuba Body-Con Dress
  
There is a Vince Camuto Scuba Sheath in the sale every year.  The first year I totally regretted not buying one.  The next year I ordered one but it had a snag and there was no longer stock to replace it.  That’s not happening this year.  Fit TTS.  I am wearing a 4.    

Tahari Sheath Dress (Regular & Petite)

Classic.  Black.  With sleeves.  Interesting neckline.  Not a body con.  Everything.   This is everything.  Tahari can do no wrong with this dress.  #ChecksAlltheBoxes

Chelsea28 Tweed Ruffle Shift Dress
 
I know, I know … I’m normally not a ruffles kind of girl.  But the ruffles on this Chelsea28 dress aren’t bothering me … in fact I kind of like them.  I really love the pattern.  If you too love the pattern but not the ruffles, then opt for this Classiques shift instead or this Betsey Johnson flare dress with sleeves.  
 
Ellen Tracy Colorblock Fit & Flare Dress (Regular & Petite)
I love the colorblocking and the color combinations on this Ellen Tracy dress.  So much potential and less than $80.  
Rebecca Taylor Jacquard Stretch Knit Sheath
This Rebecca Taylor dress was showcased in the first Dressing Room Diaries.  I couldn’t make the sizing work for me but if you are short waisted then this beauty if for you.  And it is a beauty!!  #VerySadFace

Special Occasion Dresses

Chelsea28 Pleated Velvet Fit & Flare Dress
I love this little velvet number from Chelsea28.  I’m thinking this is perfect for the Holidays.  Yeah, I went there… #ChristmasinJuly
Ted Baker London Verita Cutout Yoke Sheath Dress
I have a love affair with Ted Baker and I love this dress.  He never does me wrong.  Not feeling fuchsia?  This also comes in black.   The details on this one are amazing. Seriously.  #GetThePink
Trouvé Halter Dress
I really love this Trouve dress but I need an XS.  The Small had to much movement in the chest.  I’m not sure how an XS is going to work in the hips though.  This has a gorgeous knit and looks way more expensive than the $60 it is.  If you are a B-cup or larger then my guess is this will run TTS for you and fit beautifully. I’m going to give this one a try instead as my alternative.  Same gorgeous neckline but different fit.  

Time to Shop

Ready, Set, Shop!  I still have some items in route so I’ll be updating and adding them as they arrive.  The best place to see those updates real time is Facebook.  I will also do a roundup post after everything arrives (provided they are still in stock).

Anniversary Sale coverage isn’t over.  I will post my top five picks.  I may dig around through the casual wear a bit and see if there is anything interesting there.  And I have a really exciting collaboration in works to create entire looks for you to shop that include accessories!  Stay tuned for more on that next week!  #youregoingtoLOVEit
