If you have been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale already, you may have missed a thing or two, but have no fear – you have until August 6th to purchase the products at a major discount. After that, prices will go back up to normal.
ANNIVERSARY SALE SHOPPING TIPS & TRICKS
- Anything that you love and want for yourself, add to your wish list and check out once the sale is live for your card level [reminder: if you don’t have a card, the public sale starts July 17th]! If it isn’t currently available in your size and color preference, things are always coming in and out of stock, so check back often!
- Remember that Nordstrom always offers free shipping and free returns! Because of this, I would recommend ordering two sizes on things you are unsure of, to make sure that you can get it at the sale price and return the one that doesn’t work!
- Some of the items I mention may currently be out of stock, but check back often for restocks! We’ll also be notifying you of restocks over on our Facebook page and #NSALE group [highly recommend joining the group for a ton of helpful info and nightly giveaways!]
- Keep in mind that while the sale lasts until 8/6, things go quick so don’t be like N*Sync and have to say “bye, bye, bye” to everything before it’s gone – shop early!
- If there’s anything I didn’t cover and you still have questions, ask away below and I’ll answer right here so check back! For more Nordstrom Anniversary Sale posts, click here!

BDG Urban Outfitters Brendon Shirt [size down, wearing XS] // Good American Chewed Ankle Skinny Jeans [true to size, wearing 2] // Nike Court Vision Alta Sneaker [true to size]
As you saw above, Lauren looks SO cute in this top! Maybe I just needed to mess with styling it different ways more, but I just found it too oversized and unflattering on me!
Free People Rocky Ridge Pullover [true to size, wearing XS] // Zella Studio Luxe High Waist Flare Ankle Pants [size up if in between, wearing small] // Nike Airmax 270 Sneaker [true to size]
While I love the outdoorsy and comfy look of this pullover, it just felt too bulky in person!
Madewell Tie Front Cardigan [TTS, wearing in size small] / Kut From The Kloth Raw Hem Jeans [Size down one, wearing in size 6 due to being 28 weeks pregnant]
I thought this sweater was cute, but it just didn’t WOW me! I love the idea of the tie front, but I wasn’t sure how often I’d actually reach for it. I also think the color washed me a out a bit! For me, this was a miss!
Frame Wool Cardigan [TTS, wearing in size small] / Madewell Cropped Kick Flare Jeans [Size down one, wearing in size 27 due to being 28 weeks pregnant] / Aquatalia Ankle Booties [TTS, wearing size 8]
I liked this sweater, don’t get me wrong. Beautiful color, made of wool and had an amazing weight to it! That being said, the price tag was a little hefty for me and the sweater wasn’t bringing anything new to my wardrobe!
Madewell Pullover Sweater [TTS, wearing in size small] / Madewell Cropped Kick Flare Jeans [Size down one, wearing in size 27 due to being 28 weeks pregnant] / Aquatalia Ankle Booties [TTS, wearing size 8]
The colors of this sweater were beautiful, but it was just a tad too itchy for me! I have realized that if I know a sweater is itchy, I will never reach for it in my closet. That being said, I knew this was a miss for me no matter how much I wanted to love it!
MISS: Billabong Striped Sweater [TTS, wearing M] / Kut from the Kloth Denim [runs large, size down] / Dolce Vita Loafers [TTS]
I was drawn to the fun peach color of this sweater, but it was overall too cropped [5’5″ for reference!] and just not flattering on my body type.
MISS: Urban Outfitters Button Up [runs large, size down wearing M but could do a Small] / Paige Denim [TTS, wearing 30] / Steve Madden Loafers [TTS]
I purchased a similar top from this brand last year, but wasn’t in love this time around! It runs huge, so size down 1-2 sizes!
MISS: Treasure & Bond Shirt Jacket [sized up to L for layering] / Layering Cami / Good American Denim [size down if in between] / Steve Madden Loafers [TTS]
Love the look, hate the feel. This shacket is darling for Fall, but it was itchy, stiff, and felt a little boxy. There are better shacket options in the sale!
MISS: Topshop Center Seam Sweater [TTS, wearing M] / Good American Denim [size down if in between, wearing 8] / Nike Platform Sneakers [TTS]
Full transparency: I’m just weird about necklines. It’s a cute sweater and comes in a ton of colors, but I felt too restricted personally [it’s a crewneck cut, but felt more like a turtleneck!].
Cardigan [Size down if in between, wearing in XS] // Jeans [Size down if in between, wearing in 0] // Booties [Size down .5]
Lace Sleeve Top [Size up two] // Jeans [Size down if in between, wearing in 0] // Mules [TTS]
Mock Neck Sweater [TTS, wearing in XS] // Jeans [Size down if in between, wearing in 0] // Mules [TTS]
I don’t even know what was happening with this one… WAY too much material in the top and it was weird..
Sweater [TTS, wearing in XS] // Straight Jeans [TTS, wearing in 2] // Mules [TTS]
Funnel Neck Sweater [Size down one, wearing in XS] // Jeans [Size down if in between, wearing in 0] // Mules [TTS]
Caslon Gathered Yoke Popover Top [TTS, wearing in M] / Madewell Kick Out Crop Mid Rise Jeans [Size down, wearing in 28] / Steve Madden Havannah Pointed Toe Bootie [TTS, wearing in Mushroom]
I really wanted to love this top, but unfortunately, the yoke details hit my chest in a weird spot and it pulled too much. If you aren’t as busty, I’d suggest giving it a try!!
Funnel Neck Sweater [Size up if between, wearing in L] / Madewell Kick Out Crop Mid Rise Jeans [Size down, wearing in 28] / Steve Madden Havannah Pointed Toe Bootie [TTS, wearing in Mushroom]
