The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! Normally I would fully cover the sale and do a ton of try ons, pictures, and blog posts for all of you but this year is a little different with a newborn. I also don’t feel the best in my body right now (still trying to lose that baby weight) so I don’t feel like buying a ton of things that won’t fit me in a few months when I do lose some of the weight. So, I am just going to share my favorite items from the sale and let you guys know exactly what I bought! I am very excited about the sale this year. There are some really good things!
This sale is amazing because these are BRAND NEW FALL items that are only going to be discounted for a short amount of time. After the sale, the items all go back to their original price. Brands that NEVER go on sale go on sale during this amazing event and it is such a good time to stock up on all of your jeans, shoes, cardigans, jackets, and Fall staple pieces. So trust me when I say that you do not want to miss this sale! If you are not sure what all of the excitement is about this sale, I wanted to break everything down for you. I know that before I was a blogger I didn’t really understand how great this sale was and I wish that I did!
So what is it?
Every year Nordstrom has a huge sale where they discount brand new Fall items before the season even begins. Most stores only put things on sale after the season is almost over and they are usually things that didn’t sell during the season which is why this sale is so amazing. It is typically known as the NSALE. The sale lasts for a couple of weeks.

What are some tips for shopping the sale?
- Figure out what you need & what you are wanting to shop for. I always like to take a look at my closet and see what it is that I need for upcoming seasons. Some of the most popular items for Fall are cardigans, tunics, jeans, jackets, and shoes. I would take a look in your wardrobe and see what it is that you need. If you need more Fall shoes, I would start looking at the shoe selection first before things start selling out. If you need jackets, look there first, etc. Just make sure to have some kind of tactic in mind. I know I personally am really excited about the shoes and denim. I absolutely LOVE Fall shoes. Boots and booties are always the first things I look at. I always can stand to use some new jeans so I always look at those next.
- Apply for a Nordstrom card. This is KEY! All of the good stuff sales out SO FAST so if you want access to the best selling items, getting a Nordstrom card is the only way to go. Again, you can easily apply for a card here.
- Things sell out FAST so if you see something that you really want, I would go ahead and get it. I could not believe how quickly things sold out last year and they didn’t do many restocks.
Nordstrom also offers free shipping and free returns so buying items to try them out to see if you like them is not a worry at all. If you don’t like something you purchased or it doesn’t fit right, it is SO easy to return. Nordstrom is so good about that. If you are unsure about something, I would order it anyways before it sells out and you can always return it via mail with a prepaid shipping label that is included or at your local Nordstrom store.
