The 2023 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is officially here, and we’ve been elbow deep in trying the pieces so you don’t have to!

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!

Zella High Low Maxi Dress [TTS, wearing in small]
This dress didn’t have a ton of shape to it and kind of had a tent feel. It doesn’t have any sort of base layer or built in bra and I wish it did!
Smocked Bodice Maxi Dress [TTS, wearing size small] Franco Sarto Ankle Strap Pumps [TTS, wearing size 8]
I didn’t love the fit of this dress and the texture kind of gave it a “crunchy” feel 🤣 For the price tag, it was a miss for me!
Chelsea28 Floral Print Long Sleeve Chiffon Dress [true to size, wearing medium]
As much as I love the print and overall fit of this dress, the tightest part is my widest apart [belly and hips], which you may not notice from the front, but from the side made pretty self-conscious!
Caslon Long Sleeve Chambray Shirtdress [Size down… a lot. Wearing in S] // SÖFFT Emeline Waterproof Wedge Bootie [TTS]
Sleeveless Wide Leg Jumpsuit [Size down in between, wearing in L but could wear M] / Ina Pointed Toe Bootie [TTS]
This one made me feel like I was a dancing queen straight out of Mama Mia! Fun concept, but too much for my style!
Steve Madden Chiffon Dress [Size up if between, wearing in L] / Sam Edelman Viv Pointed Toe d’Orsay Pump [TTS]
Side Knot Crepe Dress [TTS, wearing in 10] / Steve Madden Havannah Pointed Toe Bootie [TTS, wearing in Mushroom]
I didn’t hate this one, but there was just toooooo much fabric for me, and it was kind of heavy material!
Madewell Floral Maxi Dress [size down]
OKAY this dress looked so beautiful on Cassidy (shown above) but on me I just felt very frumpy and children of the corn LOL
Halogen V-Neck Midi Dress [size down]
I had HIGH hopes for bringing this dress home, but once I slipped it on it was an immediate no.
Outdoor Voices Dress [runs small, size up 1-2 sizes, wearing L]
They’re not joking when they say this one runs small. Size up 1-2 sizes! Wearing a large here, and still wasn’t flattering on my figure! Feels like great quality, but be sure to give yourself some wiggle room. PS. there’s no built-in padding and I personally didn’t feel comfortable going braless [and certainly NOT going to opt for a strapless with this one!]
Living in Yellow is a life + style brand that provides a fun space for girlfriends to gather and feel empowered through real talk and attainable fashion.
