Hello! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! You all know I love Nordstrom and their sale is one of my favorite sales to shop throughout the year. Disclaimer, I do a pretty decent amount of shopping around this time to stock up for the fall and winter months, pick up a few new pairs of shoes and usually one or two self care items. This also means there will be a decent amount of items in this post!
A few important things to know about the Nordstrom anniversary sale and some tips for shopping it:
- All Nordstrom Cardholders get to shop the sale early from July 12th-19th which means there is an extra perk to being a cardholder. I will include the calendar below for reference.
- The sale opens to the public on July 20th. There will still be some awesome items at really good prices, but things do often sell out during the private, cardholder sale dates!
- TIP: If you think you like an item, buy it. Like, immediately. Things sell out super fast and it is so much better to buy it and return it, then miss you because you are unsure.
- TIP: If you like an item, but are unsure on sizing, order both sizes and return which size doesn’t work out. I learned last year that a couple items did not fit, but the sizes I needed were already gone.
- TIP: Utilized same day pickup if you have a Nordstrom close to you! This service is amazing and saves so much time. I picked up an order today and literally was only in the store for 2 minutes because they have a separate table/service area for curbside pick up. You can also call, text, or notify them via the app when you are there and stay in your car in order to have someone bring your order out to you if you want. It’s basically like a drive through, which is a good and sometimes bad thing ($$$$).
- TIP: Utilize curbside like mentioned above and take a moment to try on your clothing right after you pick it up in store! This is helpful in making immediate returns if needed and prevents a trip back to the store to make a return.
I already own some of these items, purchased some during the sale, and have a few on my list. Let’s get started!
Clothing
Barefoot Dreams Cardigan: Hands down the best cardigans I have ever owned. If you buy anything from the sale, it should be one of these! They are worth every penny of the price, are extremely comfortable and the quality is amazing! I ordered the carbon and the silver/pearl heather color. I will try to only pick one color to keep, but this is totally an item I would allow myself to keep in both colors because I know how much I will wear them!
Halogen Seamless Day Bra: These are so comfortable and a wonderful everyday, around the house bra. I honestly despise underwire (especially after wearing nursing bras without it for so long) and only wear underwired bras to work to you know, keep myself, and my girls looking professional. When I am not at work, I am wearing a bra without underwire as much as I am able! This one is only 11.90 after the sale which you can’t beat! It also has a clip to make it into a racerback. I got it in nude and gray.
BP Fleece Lined Joggers: Because, who doesn’t need another pair of comfortable grey sweatpants? I love the look of these!
Zella High Waisted Leggings: Literally the best leggings I have ever had. I purchased a multi-colored black and white pair a few months ago when they were on major sale and had hoped to snag a black pair during the anniversary sale. They are high waisted, hold everything in, and are so slimming! They are so good I am contemplating ordering another pair.
Moonlight Pajamas: I was thinking everyone was crazy when they were talking about how awesome these pajamas are, but I am here to say the hype is real. These are so soft and comfortable.
Free People January Tee: You all know I love Free People and I love it most when it is on sale (cause for real, it can be expensive). This seems like a really nice basic!
Shoes
Tory Burch Sandal: I am so excited about these! I have been wanting a pair of high quality tan sandals for some time now. I finally pulled the trigger when I saw these. They have amazing reviews and Tory Burch items always hold up so well over time. Although this item is more of a splurge for me, I have no regrets!
Brice Notched Booties: I am so excited to try these! I ordered them in the cognac suede and hope I love them! Last year, I ordered a similar pair and returned them when the top portion of the boot wasn’t flexible and felt like it was suffocating my ankle. I am hoping these are more flexible in the ankle and that they are comfortable! I will report back once they come in.
Adidas Edge Running Shoe: Now let’s not pretend I actually use these for “running.” However, every year I pick up one pair of tennis shoes at the anniversary sale. I saw these in the store and the quality was amazing, but they didn’t have my size so I ordered them and will review the fit once they come in. I like the neutral grey color and the 63$ price tag even more. They could be worn with jeans and a classic tee or your favorite sweats.
Converse Sneakers: I LOVE my white slip on converse. They are easily my favorite go to sneaker and I wear them all the time. I loved these when I saw them and ordered them immediately. These are so pretty! It’s a light “twine,” color with rose gold detail.
Beauty/Skin Care
PMD Personal Microderm Pro Device: I’ve wanted a PMD device for months but could never justify the price, so I immediately purchased one when I saw it was included in the anniversary sale! Dry skin is my largest skin care problem and I have been battling it for years! Recently, I have tried some new products that have been exceptionally productive in preventing my dry skin but have heard this device is amazing for people like me. I am fortunate to not battle acne, or anything else really, but I’ve had moments where my face feels like sand paper, and my makeup won’t evenly apply because my skin is so dry! I used this for the first time the night I purchased it and swear I already notice a difference and will keep using it and likely write a blog review for anyone interested!
Home
Barefoot Dreams Throw: This blanket is like wearing a cloud. It’s the same material as the cardigans! I’ll admit it is kind of a splurge for a blanket but you would totally understand once you felt the material!
I will keep updating this post as I get new items! Did you purchase anything from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale? Let me know in the comments below!
