The much anticipated Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins in a few weeks! I cover this sale every year and so many of you LOVE it! In case you’re wondering, “What is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?” and why the heck do people care about it, read on, my friend!
WHAT IS THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE ALL ABOUT?
WHEN DOES THE SALE HAPPEN?
Due to COVID-19, the sale is a bit different this year. Here’s the scoop:
- July 24th (TODAY!) – EVERYONE gets to preview the sale. This is awesome because in the past, we only got to see small sneak peeks. Check it out HERE! If you’re overwhelmed, don’t worry–I’ll highlight some of my favorite items next week. 😁
- August 4-18 – Early Access begins in a staggered way for all Nordstrom cardholders or Nordy Club members with Insider status or above, based on your status. You can see the start dates above.
WHAT KINDS OF THINGS ARE ON SALE?
WHAT SHOULD BE ON YOUR SHOPPING LIST?
Fall clothes for sure! This sale is for new arrivals for the coming season, not the leftovers from summer. I prioritize higher ticket items and staples like boots and booties, jackets, and jeans. I try some sweaters, tops, bags, activewear, makeup/beauty, home decor, and men’s items, too.
Some of my favorites from previous years:
- My beloved Wit & Wisdom Ab-solution jeans go on sale in several colors each year!
- High-waisted Zella leggings have been on sale for the last several years
- Caslon knit blazers that feel like sweatshirts are usually 40% off
- The long cardigans that I get asked about ALL THE TIME, every year, without fail. Don’t miss out on these!
- This throw blanket has become an obsession in my family. We have 3 now, and they’re SO good! Usually around $25 during the sale.
- Beauty Blenders – I stock up on these during the sale!
- Knee-high boots and ankle boots
- BLANKNYC leather, faux leather, and suede jackets are my favorites! Pricey at full price, but awesome during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!
- Vince Camuto pants – some are SO comfy and great quality! (And some aren’t. 😳 That’s why I review items for ya 😉)
- Vince Camuto and Halogen tops and sweaters are great for work
- Sam Edelman pumps and flats
These are some of my favorites from past sales: black moto jacket, leopard print pumps, black skinny jeans, long cardigans, taupe wedge sneakers, super comfy black work slacks, bootcut jeans that are sooooo stretchy they feel like yoga pants (!!), grey wrap sweater, gorgeous suede moto jacket, leopard print flats, and super comfy stretchy skinny jeans!
HOW CAN I SHOP THIS SALE THE SMART WAY?
Shop Early Access by signing up for a Nordstrom card. The sale opens earlier to everyone who has a Nordstrom card. Items and sizes sell out FAST, and they often do NOT restock. Some items are exclusive only to the sale and not available after the sale. Shopping early is totally worth it. Find out more info, like how you can get a $40 bonus note, and sign up for one HERE!

- Sign up for the PMT Email List – For the NSale, you can get notified with two different levels of frequency:
- New Blog Posts – Get emailed whenever there’s a new blog post full of NSale reviews. I publish NSale blog posts 1-2x/wk during the sale.
- *Special* Extra NSale Highlights Email List – Get special, additional highlights from the NSale so you don’t miss anything. I only blog 1-2x/wk during the sale, but often times items sell out before I publish the next blog post. This year, you can sign up to get additional NSale highlights between blog posts. That way, if I find something awesome, you’ll know about it THAT DAY instead of 2-3 days later when it might already be sold out.
- Sign up for either/both of those email lists HERE.
- Facebook – I’ll share highlights daily
- Instagram / IG Stories – I’ll share highlights daily
