You guys, I am so stinking excited to put this together today. I’ve been saving tabs of items I’ve found around the web that are a fraction of the cost of some pricier versions of things, and then the Nordstrom sale hit (which starts today, Friday, July 12 at 11:30 am CST). So I thought what better way to bring back this series than with dupes from the Nordstrom sale.
Don’t get me wrong, the #nsale is always great. But is it really always worth the hype? Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn’t. So here are my top picks of on-trend, classic pieces that are shining bright in the Nordstrom sale, but they have very similar versions elsewhere for a lower price.
If you are shopping the Nordstrom sale and see that your favorites are selling out, this is the place for you! I’ve found so many similar options out there in the shopping land. Hope you love these picks as much as I do.
I will say that it looks like snakeskin and leopard print are still huge trends this fall, making them a classic staple in my book. So many fun pieces!
As always, thanks for using my links to purchase your favorites! I make a small commission, which is what helps keep the lights on for the blog. Thanks a million, and enjoy these fab finds!
SWEATERS
gray long cardigan
Nordstrom sale $31.90 // Amazon similar style $29
Closet. Staple. The price difference isn’t too huge right now, but if it sells out at Nordstrom, the Amazon brand cardigan is a for sure steal.
leopard print cardigan
Nordstrom sale $45.90 // Amazon similar style $28.99
I have the Amazon version, and while it’s okay, I love the Nordstrom version; the Nordy version is a little fluffier. But for 16 dollars cheaper, you can have this one.
hot pink sweater
Nordstrom sale $49.90 // Old Navy version $23.98 (currently 20% off!)
Run for this one! The Something Navy brand sweater is adorable, but then so is the Old Navy version which I have and love. It’s a for sure winner.
TOPS & DRESSES
satin trimmed cami
Nordstrom sale $25.90 // Amazon version $16.99 // also found it here for $19.97
This is one you could buy in every color: white, black, and leopard print are my favorite options. Good thing we scoped out all the deals for it!
leopard print dress
Nordstrom Sale $84.90 // Loft (40% sale) $59.70
This dress is so pretty. The Nordstrom sale really is killing it with the dresses selection, and if I were in the market for them, I’d be all over this sale. But since I’m not, I had to at least share one! This is my fave.
leopard print blouse
Nordstrom sale $31.90 // Loft similar style $23.49
I really am loving this animal print blouse. It’s subtle, classy, and on trend. I found a similar style at Loft though for less than $25. Super cute!
corduroy skirt
Nordstrom sale $31.90 // similar style $24.99
I have always loved this look of a corduroy fall mini skirt. Reminds me so much of middle school, but I think I might need this in my closet. The steal is from H&M!
JEANS
distressed skinny jeans, light wash
Nordstrom sale $152.90 // Walmart similar denim $17.84
Can’t even believe I’m comparing these two, but there’s no denying the similarity! Granted, the Paige denim is a high end, designer jean, but they are almost identical to the pair I have from Walmart. Under 20 dollars is where it’s at. I will say that the Walmart pair is actually a jegging and the pockets are not functional in the front. But the look is what we’re going for, and it’s so good!
high-rise skinny jean with button fly
Nordstrom sale $89.90 // J.Crew Factory $29.50
These Madewell jeans from the NSale are great, but I swear I just bought a pair almost identical to these from Amazon via J.Crew Mercantile. The J.Crew Factory version are selling out, so hurry if you want these.
black distressed skinny jeans
Nordstrom sale $119.90 // Old Navy Rockstars $34
I love the look of these jeans! I need to add some of these to my closet this season, but I will most definitely be getting the Rockstars. I love that line from Old Navy.
SHOES
black stacked mules
Nordstrom sale $49.90 // Amazon similar style $29.98
I have the dupes, and they are going to be getting a whole lot more action this fall season now that I know there was Nordstrom sale version. Lol. There’s a bit of a variation, but not much for a savings of 20 dollars.
snakeskin loafers
Nordstrom sale $99.90 // Amazon similar style $69.95
Both options come in neutral colors as well. Love these so much for an easy, breezy fall look with jeans and a cardigan.
mustard loafers
Nordstrom sale $59.90 // Amazon similar style $41.95
Loving this color so much for fall. It acts as a great neutral, and I think the Nordstrom version might be worth the splurge because of the extra detailing. They’re both Steve Madden, but the steals are from last season. They come in a ton of colors, too!
snakeskin bootie
option 1: Nordstrom sale $89.90 // Amazon similar style 79.99
option 2: Nordstrom sale $99.90 // Amazon similar style $69.99
I love both of these! I really am digging the stacked heel for the version of the snakeskin bootie. Which one is your favorite?
perforated booties
Amazon similar style 89.95 // Nordstrom sale $59.90 (after sale $99.95)
So the steal for these is after the sale is over. I have the Amazon version, and they’re great! The Nordstrom sale version are too cute, and such a great staple for booties this fall. I promise you’ll wear them often.
neutral stacked heel bootie
Nordstrom sale $99.90 // Amazon similar style $54.43
Okay, these might be my favorite. I love both of them, but the splurge color is screaming my name. You can’t beat that steal though!
brown riding boot
Nordstrom sale $159.90 // Amazon similar style $124.46 (size 7)
Sometimes listings change on Amazon, so check your sizing to see if it’s cheaper than the sale version from Nordstrom. I would get a 7 if I were buying these, and my size is listed as $124.46. Once the sale is over though, the Amazon version will still be less than the Nordstrom boots.
JACKETS
black leather moto jacket
Nordstrom sale $64.90 // Amazon brand $41.70
These moto jackets are timeless. I have the Amazon brand, and it’s not fully leather, but the it’s the most comfortable jacket ever. I always get compliments on how cute and chic it is.
neutral faux leather moto jacket
Nordstrom sale $64.90 // Amazon similar style $33.99
Oh, for sure, the dupe is the winner here. They’re both different material, but the lighter version is perfect for Texas fall.
faux leopard print trench coat
Nordstrom sale $98.90 // Nasty Gal version $44 // Asos leopard trench $47.50
These are so freaking cute. I just love all the leopard print, so pair it with a timeless piece and I’m sold. I’m especially sold on the steals. ;)
double breasted trench coat
Nordstrom sale $99.90 // Mango similar style $79.99 // Nordstrom Rack similar version $49.97
I will say that the Nordstrom version does have a hood attached. The Mango version does not, but the Nordstrom Rack version does. All are super chic, and they will last forever. Classic staple here. You take your pick!
ACCESSORIES
floral scarf
Nordstrom sale $35.90 // Amazon similar style $19.99
I love the look of this scarf, but I rarely wear them. These Amazon silk scarves are so pretty, and they come in a million styles.
snakeskin crossbody purse
Nordstrom sale $165.90 (sold out already) // Amazon similar style crossbody $18.99 & crossbody strap $28.99
Okay, if I were to buy a cute, fun purse for fall, this would be it. But it is already sold out at Nordstrom. What’s a girl to do? Find something similar! Buy the purse from Amazon, then add the strap to your cart and boom. Same look for less.
PAJAMAS & ATHLEISURE
navy shorts pajamas
Nordstrom sale $35.90 // Amazon similar style $23.90
Both get amazing reviews, so I’m going to say you’ll love either. Who doesn’t love pajamas?!
cropped high-waisted live-in leggings
Nordstrom sale — Zella $38.90 // Amazon similar style $24.99
I own both pairs, and I love them equally. But if you’re not into Nordstrom, the 90 Degree brand on Amazon is the best leggings you’ll find comparable to Zella.
high-waisted classic black leggings
Nordstrom sale $45.90 // Amazon brand $44
After the sale is over, you’ll want this brand, Core 10, from Amazon. The material almost feels identical.
faux-leather leggings
Nordstrom sale Spanx $64.90 // Amazon brand $24.99
If you don’t have the Spanx faux leather leggings yet, what are you waiting for? They’re so good, and you can dress them up or down. I’ve had mine for two years, but this new pair from Amazon might be what makes it into my cart.
leopard print sweatshirt
Nordstrom sale hoodie version $31.90 // Amazon similar version $19.98 and another version here $20.99
I have the Amazon version and love it! It was in my May Mom Style post here.
And that’s a wrap! Which dupe were you most impressed by and most excited about? Now someone send fall soon. So ready for this heat to leave.
Happy weekend, friends!
