The time is here! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale kicks off this week and I always love sharing my favorite picks from the sale. (Seriously, even before it was so hyped up with bloggers, I’ve been sharing my NSale picks long before LikeToKnow.It existed!) Depending on your spend level with the Nordstrom Rewards program, you may be eligible to start shopping now. Personally, I don’t have access until Friday, but I wanted to share this post with all of my favorite things and let you know what I have on my Wish List to buy.
In years past, I’ve done a huge dressing room try-on to give you my honest feedback about how things are IRL, how they fit, etc. (You can see previous years here and here, and here.) I’m planning to go to the store on Friday, but I’m not sure what they’ll have inventory-wise, so TBD on how that post works out! Fingers crossed.
PS: If you’re not a Nordstrom Rewards member, everyone gets access to the sale on July 28th! But you can definitely log-in to your Nordstrom account now, preview the sale, and start building your wishlist.
MY SHOPPING STRATEGY | If you need a bit of a refresher for the Nordstrom Sale, be sure to check this post with FAQs. My main shopping strategy is updating your outerwear, jeans, and shoes, stocking up on your wardrobe basics (they always have great sweaters in the sale!), and finding great deals on my favorite beauty products, too. (See this post for my Top 10 items that I always look for during the sale.) For example, I only wear Hanky Panky underwear, but they are pretty expensive. Buying them in bulk during the Anniversary Sale definitely helps! Another pointer would be to think about the items you want to invest in later this fall.. A new coat? A new watch? A new pair of booties? A new work tote? Whatever it may be, this is a good time to try to find it marked down! Take a look through your wardrobe and evaluate what your needs are before going crazy with the sale.
In each category below, I’m listing out items that are on my personal wishlist, and in the widget below that, I’m sharing a curated selection of my favorite items in each category to help guide your shopping.
ATHLEISURE + LOUNGE | Joggers, pajama sets, workout sets, my favorite running shoes, Bombas socks (the best no-shows IMO!), lots of good finds in this section.
