When I was 18, I used all my babysitting money and pizza-restaurant earnings to buy a prom dress at Nordstrom. It was long and black and silky, and I got a manicure for the first time ever. The dream!

Then, a couple years ago, a Cup of Jo reader told us she had significantly different sized feet — 6.5 and 10. “After decades of buying two pairs of shoes only to pitch the ‘off’ sized ones,” she said, “Nordstrom stole my heart when I learned they would sell me the mismatched pair I needed. They remain the only store I’ve ever found who did this, and I’m thrilled to give them all my shoe money.” How incredible is that?

There aren’t many stores you love for decades, but Nordstrom keeps getting better. They have incredible customer service, and shipping and returns are always free. Today, we’re sharing our favorite pieces from their big anniversary sale, which is happening right now…

Thoughts? What would you choose? See Nordstrom’s anniversary sale here — they even have light therapy masks. (!)

P.S. The iconic bag I keep spotting everywhere, and Nicki Sebastian’s foolproof eyeliner trick.
