*entire outfit from last years sale finds!
It’s ALMOST here. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. My favorite sale of the YEAR! I love being your main resource for this sale and can’t wait to help you navigate it! WHY is this sale so great? First, Nordstrom is the only retailer that marks NEW merchandise down for the upcoming Season. So essentially, you’ll get fresh, Fall merchandise on sale where typically when retailers mark down their goods, it’s the END of the Season…so whatever didn’t sell gets put on the sale rack to move it out of the store quicker.
The markdowns are GOOD too. No 10% off BS. These markdowns typically hit the 20-40% mark making the sale really worth shopping. Nordstrom also throws their “top sellers” into the mix- like Barefoot Dreams cardigans and blankets, Spanx leggings and Hanky Panky underwear. After the sale is over, Nordstrom puts the prices back up. I’ll be shopping the sale early so I can share with you here, on Instagram and on my stories what I’m loving, how things fit and what is worth buying. It’s my job to break things down for you so it’s EASY to shop because I know it gets overwhelming navigating the site.
How I Shop The Sale:
Last year I stocked up on cardigans, booties and long sleeve t-shirts for Fall. I bought underwear, pajamas, gifts (yes I snag a few Christmas gifts) and shoes or outerwear for my kids (depending on what they need). I restock my beauty staples if they are on the sale too. I’ve splurged on a Patagonia or North Face vest twice in the last few years on this sale. If you need outerwear, this is a great time to buy as those brands rarely get marked down. I’ve bought boots and sneakers in the past as well…it just kind of depends on the year and what my wardrobe needs are. Typically they have a great deals on athletic shoes (psst- my Nike Air Max 270’s are on the sale this year)! My post from last year details some of my favorites from 2019! Hands down, my favorite purchase EVER from this sale was the Barefoot Dreams blanket. They hardly ever go on sale and it’s something my family uses literally all day, everyday.

In order to shop on the sale early, you must be a Nordstrom cardholder. You can do that here if you’re interested. The higher your status with the card, the earlier you can shop the sale. The benefit of having the card is also being able to shop items that will inevitably sell out. I wish I could tell you things get restocked for Public Access but in the years of covering this sale, I’ve seen many things not be restocked once they’ve sold out. I would LOVE it if that was different this year though!
