The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

It's that time of year again—the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! This annual event brings a unique excitement, anticipation, and a dash of FOMO as fashion enthusiasts prepare to score incredible deals on brand-new, upcoming season items. Unlike typical sales where leftover goods are discounted the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale offers fresh, pre-season pieces at a reduced price, making it a highly anticipated event worth your attention.

Sometimes the hottest deals sell out fast, so if you want to be in the know and find out FIRST, you can join my bestie group text! And don’t worry, I’ll only send you the VERY hottest deals that have the highest sell-out risk – PROMISE. To join the list, CLICK HERE!

How to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

The sale preview is already online. If you are a Nordstrom cardholder, you’ll be able to shop the sale first, as early as July 9 depending on your Nordy Club status. (Check your account information for your status and access date.) “All Skate” access (everyone else) starts July 15.

The good news is, you still have some time to go through the preview. If you have a Nordstrom account you can save favorites to your Wish List, and easily add them to your cart when you have access to shop.

Here’s the strategy I use to get the most from this sale:

Make a list. Are there items you need to replace or refresh? Gaps in your wardrobe? You can use the filters on the Nordstrom product pages to refine your search by item type.

If you’re planning to shop this sale, what types of items will you be looking for? Let me know and I’ll be on the lookout.

Then, search by your favorite brands.

Next, I’ll do a broader search by category. For example:

• Jeans

• Women’s jacket

• Weatherproof footwear

• Sneakers

• Cashmere sweaters

• Beauty gift sets

• Hosiery

• Ankle Boots

• 
  

Tip 1: Buy online! So much more efficient this way — avoid the crowds and get it fast. Plus, many items will not be available in-store.

Tip 2: Consider paying $20 extra for expedited shipping. This bumps your order up in the queue and increases your chances of getting what you want.

Tip 3: Stock up on basics. Everyone is saying this, but it’s true. Get your denim, leather jackets, coats, shoes, booties, and makeup now!

Tip 4: Schedule a Personal Double Points Day. Earn 2x the points towards Nordstrom notes – you’ll be glad you did 🙂

Tip 5: Know your cardholder status. This lets you know which day you can shop the sale!

Tip 6: What to do when things sell out? I always suggest putting the wrong size of the item you want in your shopping cart. Then, continue checking your shopping cart regularly (every day is not a bad idea). Since inventory is always changing, there’s a good chance your size will pop up!

Happy Shopping
