I feel like the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has somehow gotten a bad rap because it seems to me, this year in particular, that everyone is a bit “down” on it — especially influencers. I mean, yes… a lot of the items are the same as in years past (Barefoot Dreams cardigans, anyone? 😉). For me, Nordstrom sales are an opportunity to replenish / stock up on items I use regularly and to save money on splurge-worthy items! I like to go in to the sale with a list (new pair of jeans, more mascara, etc.) so that I don’t get distracted by all of the other items and somehow convince myself to get another sweater that I definitely don’t need.
Admittedly, I don’t shop at Nordstrom often enough to make having their credit card worth it (earning Nordies Notes, etc.). If opening a line of credit is not a responsible choice for your situation, I urge you just wait to shop the general access — no product is worth going into debt for and Nordstrom often replenishes products throughout the sale, so there’s really no reason to race to buy items on the first day.
Additionally, I want to be clear that I am sharing ALL of my favorite items that are sold at Nordstrom and that not everything will be included in this specific sale. The reason being that I wanted to make sure that I included everything that I love in this post as a point of reference for any Nordstrom sale they may have throughout the year and not just the annual Anniversary Sale!
Let’s get started!
*Top Tip: Don’t miss the Black-Owned / Black-Founded Businesses section if you’re perusing the Nordstrom website! So many gems here.
