As a newish mom, most of my income goes toward child care, rent, and all things baby. It's not often I get to spend on myself, whether that be new clothes or a fun pair of leggings to wear on my runs [1]. But the Nordstrom Half Yearly Anniversary Sale [2] really is an opportunity for me to splurge on myself and my family, without going overboard. Take a look at the nine essentials on sale that I'm adding to my cart.
Vans Old Skool Woven Check Sneakers
I'll be able to wear these Vans Old Skool Woven Check Sneakers [3] ($39, originally $65) all Summer long.
Skip Hop Saffiano Nappy Backpack
I'm ready for a new nappy bag, and I like the slick pattern on the Skip Hop Saffiano Nappy Backpack [4] ($60, originally $100)
Anthropologie Zohra Blanket Throw
I can't wait to give our sofa an upgrade with this Anthropologie Zohra Blanket Throw [5] ($62, originally $88).
Something Navy Chambray Romper
The Something Navy Chambray Romper [6] ($45, originally $89) is something I can casually wear on the weekdays with sneakers or dress up for date night with a gorgeous belt and jewellery.
Under One Sky Unicorn Hooded Bath Wrap (Kids)
My daughter is just getting to the point where she enjoys bath time, and I think this cute Under One Sky Unicorn Hooded Bath Wrap [7] ($21, originally $35) will make it even more exciting for her.
Something Navy Low Back Camisole
This Something Navy Low Back Camisole [8] ($28, originally $49) comes in four different colours and is super easy to toss on.
Vans SK8-Hi Zip Sparkle Sneaker
I have these for myself in black and white, and I love the idea of matching with my daughter in the SK8-Hi Zip Sparkle Sneaker [9] ($27, originally $45).
Daughter of the Land Rejuvenate Iris & Rosehips Bath Soak
This luxurious Daughter of the Land Rejuvenate Iris & Rosehips Bath Soak [10] ($20, originally $33) will encourage this tired mama to take a break from time to time.
The Upside Rainbow Ankle Leggings
I have a major problem with leggings slipping down, but The Upside Rainbow Ankle Leggings [11] ($65, originally $109) always stay up, and they have a stretch tie at the waist that keeps them on.
