Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

If you follow a blogger on social media, I’m sure you’ve heard about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I’m going to be honest… I went back and forth on whether or not to even do a post with my favorite items from the sale or not for fear of being overkill.I decided to just put this tab on my blog, so it can be referenced if desired. If you’re here, I’m guessing you have at least a little interest.  I feel like this sale, while great, has a tendency to get blown out of proportion and the “coverage” that some people put into it can just get annoying. Personally, I’ve had a Nordstrom card (the debit card version… sadly they don’t offer this option anymore) for years and do enjoy shopping the sale. It gets me excited for fall, but I also understand we need to keep things in perspective here and, quite honestly, a lot of people don’t do that.

Early Access is broken up for different tier level card holders. I was able to shop on August 10 and snagged a couple of staple items and a few gifts to put up. If you don’t have a card, the sale begins  for everyone on August 19 is when the sale will go to “public access.” It’s all the same items so, if you can’t shop ahead of time with early access, don’t worry. In the past, many things that sold out during early access have been restocked when the sale went public. Not sure if that will be the case this year, but they have a good track record of reserving pieces so that everyone has an opportunity at purchasing the same merchandise. *Even if you can’t purchase during early access, you can still go through and look at everything!

I definitely don’t think this year is one of the best ones. I was a little disappointed actually. Sharing a few things below that I either ordered, already have, or am super interested in below.

A few tips for shopping this sale:

  1. Budget– It’s easy to get carried away, especially when you see a bunch of people posting about things you “have to have.” Set some guidelines early and you’ll be much less likely to get yourself into trouble. I always save up some of my “fun money” for this sale so I have a little extra to play with.
  2. Shop Online– It’s just way more convenient and you’ll have many more options than in store. Especially now during COVID, this is just the best options. For some things that I cannot wait to get in my hands, I’ll order online and then do order pick up.
  3. Order Early– Nordstrom has a great return policy… you can always return for free (in store or by mail) and there is no time limit. If you’re up in the air about something that’s super popular, go ahead and buy it now and decide when it arrives. You can always return, but things have a tendency to sell out (fast) during this sale and it’s better to get your hands on it while you can.
  4. Buy Gifts– I usually stock up on a few gifts I know I’m going to need in the fall months, as well as some Christmas presents as well. If you can budget for this, I think it’s a great time to snag some pieces for your loved ones that you might need in the upcoming seasons.
  5. Keep Perspective– This is by far and away the most important tip. It’s easy to feel like you’re missing out (especially if you follow bloggers on social media) when it’s not in the budget for you to shop this sale. It’s fun, but I’m here to tell you that this sale is made to be a way bigger deal than it really is. Really. When Luke was still in law school a few years ago and I was the only one working, I couldn’t afford to shop the sale… I turned out just fine and now can’t even tell you the things I so desperately wanted and wasn’t able to buy. You aren’t alone if you aren’t shopping the sale or only buy 1 or 2 things, I promise!

Happy shopping, looking, or doing something totally unrelated, friends! xoxo.
