How to Shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
The much anticipated Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins next week!  I cover this sale every year, and today I want to prep you with what it is and why you should shop it.

WHAT IS THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE ALL ABOUT?

Rather than typical sales where leftover items are marked down at the end of the season, this is the one time of the year Nordstrom marks down BRAND NEW stuff at the beginning of the season.  Some of my PMT staples have been from this sale–items YOU all ask about and save for.  But during this time you can get them ON SALE! 😲

WHEN DOES THE SALE HAPPEN?

  • July 12th – Early Access begins for Nordstrom cardholders only
  • July 20th – August 5th – Sale opens to everyone

 

WHAT KINDS OF THINGS ARE ON SALE?
WHAT SHOULD BE ON MY SHOPPING LIST?

Green Navy Plaid Top + Beige Cardigan + Tan Suede Boots

Think fall clothes, since this sale is for new arrivals for the coming season.  What I most love to shop for are boots and booties, jeans – get the best jeans discounted(!), tops, bags, activewear, makeup, and home decor.  This year my husband is really excited to shop the men’s clothing.  You can add kid’s clothing to your lists too!

Some of my favorites from previous years:

HOW CAN I SHOP THIS SALE THE SMART WAY?

Make a list.  The sale can be overwhelming, so get focused with a game plan and a list.  It’ll help you make better purchasing decisions too!
Shop Early Access.  Did you know the sale opens 1 week earlier to everyone who has a Nordstrom card?  Items and sizes sell out FAST, so 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!
Shop online.  Crowds are crazy.  Your size may not be available in store.  Some items aren’t even sold in store and are online-only.  It’s madness.  And, shipping and return shipping is always free, so ordering online from the comfort of your home in your pajamas is the WAY TO GO!  Or, order online and use Nordstrom’s curbside pickup (WHAAAAT?  YES, that’s a THING!!) so that you can avoid the crowds but not wait for it to ship!
Also, buy multiple sizes!!!!  Items run out fast, and your size might not be available by the time you want to exchange.  Buy two sizes and send back–for free–the size that doesn’t work.  Read my recent Guide to Shopping for Clothes Online for more.  🙂

HOW CAN I GET THE BEST STUFF?

Get Early Access by signing up for a Nordstrom card HERE.  You get to shop 1 week before everyone else, and it really is worth it!
