It’s that time of year again – early access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is well underway! I’m never one to shy away from a sale, and this one happens to be one of my faves.
I don’t think anything screams gold standards on a bronze budget quite like the Anniversary Sale, so I’ve been spending a lot of time online trying to fire our what I’m going to buy.
Next season, on sale now
At most stores, you have to wait until October, or even November, to find the fall staples or trends you’ve been eyeing on the sale rack. But from July 21 {or July 12 if you have a Nordstrom debit or credit card} to August 6, we get a head start on shopping the best new buys that fall fashion has to offer.
My best advice for shopping this sale is to set a budget for yourself. It’s easy to get a little click happy and throw all your favorite pieces in your online shopping cart, but, like all sales – it doesn’t take long to rack up a crazy high total. To stay on track, think about what your fall wardrobe needs before shopping the sale.
If you’ve lived in a place like Chicago for years – and you’re use to unpredictable, cold weather for a majority of the year – you probably have a substantial fall wardrobe, so maybe that means stocking up on blouses you can wear in and out of the office or jeans that are perfect for casual Friday or Sunday brunch. Or if you still need to bulk up your fall wardrobe, think about investing in timeless pieces that will last for years to come – maybe for you that’s a leather jacket or a bag that makes a statement or fits all your everyday essentials.
I have a Nordstrom debit card, so I’m hoping to get into the store as soon as possible to see the merchandise in person, but right now I’m thinking that I need these Mary Jane heels {that would be perfect for fall, winter & even spring!} and these adorable sneakers.
And every year, I always leave a little room in my budget for the items that I swear by – my favorite being the Natori Feathers Contour Bra, which is on sale for under $50. It’s usually hard for me to find any bra in my size for under $50, so this is a total steal – it’s comfortable and pretty, and is flattering under a t-shirt or a fancy dress, so I’m going to snag it in nude and black.
Are you excited to shop the Anniversary Sale yet?
I know it can be a bit overwhelming to search through all of the sale items online, so to make it easier on you I picked out my favorite items under $200, $100 and $50! There’s so much to choose from ??
Don’t forget – if you have a Nordstrom debit or credit card, you can start shopping now! If you’re not a cardholder, the sale starts on July 21, but who says you can’t get a head start ??!
