The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

It’s that time of year again! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale preview goes LIVE today (July 6th) and I’m here to break it all down for you. What the sale is, who can shop, when you can shop and why it’s so great. If you want to learn more, let’s get started.

So, let’s begin by talking about what makes this sale different from all other sales. Every year, right around this time (last year was a bit later due to covid), Nordstrom marks down thousands of items that haven’t even hit the shelves yet. It’s a bit of a “preview” if you will of what’s coming this fall. These items are brand new to the store. Think fall fashion (boots, jackets, sweaters, etc.). All items marked down up to 40%. We’re not just talking women’s fashion, we’re talking designer, men’s, baby and home as well.

This is a great time to shop fall basics from Free People, add some designer jeans to your closet, athleisure from Zella, the barefoot dreams blanket for your home that everyone raves about or even a good amount of designer fashion that NEVER goes on sale. Last year, I bought a great leather jacket that I will wear year after year. The Stuart Weitzman boots are always popular – they’re pricey so the discount goes a long way.

Nordstrom allows everyone to preview the sale at the same time (today). However, not everyone can begin shopping the sale at the same time. The sale is “tiered” if you will, based on your Nordy Club status. Basically, the more money you spend during the year at Nordstrom’s, the higher your status. Bummer – I know, but this is Nordstrom’s way of thanking their most loyal customers. If you have a Nordstrom credit or debt card, you are already a member of the Nordy Club. Not sure your status?

My tips for shopping the sale: check out the preview today and wishlist the items you’re interested in. This way, on the day the sale is open to you, you are able to hop right on, add the items to your bag and check out! My suggestion is to check out right away – don’t wait! Things truly do sell out during this sale and sometimes never restock. Last year, there were several items I had my eye on that never restocked, but with this sale, you just never know. Some items do wind up restocking and some items will only restock based on a Nordstrom customer returning that specific item.

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for….hehe semi kidding…after sifting through the preview, here are my top picks. Enjoy 🙂 <3.
