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 4th 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 15th]! 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 8/4, 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!
- BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE — to see even more #NSALE looks from the team, be sure to check out our lookbook for even more goodness!
- Grab the Nordstrom app for the easiest shopping experience AND instant restock alerts when you add to your wish list!

Sweaty Betty Half Zip [size up if in between, wearing medium] // Sweaty Betty Pants [true to size, wearing small] // ON Cloud 5 Coast Sneaker [size up .5]
Why it’s a miss: Not going to lie, the two of these pieces together just felt like a mess. I ended up tucking the pants drawstring because when they were out it was a lot of strings all in one spot.
Zella Jacket [size up if in between, wearing small] // Zella Live In Leggings [true to size, wearing small] // Nike Sneakers
Why it’s a miss: I was so excited about this jacket leading up to the sale, but then I put it on and just didn’t love it. I don’t know if it was too bulky or what but it just didn’t vibe with me.
Zella Luxe Boxy Hoodie [true to size] // Zella Luxe Wide Leg Pants [size down] // Nike Calm Slide Sandal [true to size]
While these pants were definitely comfortable, they just ran way too large and long for me!
Thread and Supply Vest [size up, wearing in large] // Zella Live in Leggings [size up if between, wearing in large] // Nike Air Max 90 Sneaker [size up .5]
To be fair, this one was from the Juniors department… but it was just waaaayyyy too cropped for me!
Nike Phoenix Fleece Crewneck Sweatshirt [size down, wearing in medium] // Hit – Nike Phoenix Fleece Knit Shorts [true to size, wearing in large]
This sweatshirt was really cute, but so oversized while also being cropped at the same time. Cute find, just not for me!
Zella Kickback Ottoman Tunic [true to size, wearing in medium] // Zella Live In Leggings [true to size, wearing large] // Nike Air Max 90 Futura Sneaker [if in between, go up!]
Free People Inspire Layer Top [Size up if in between, wearing in Small] // Zella Leggings [true to size] // Nike Air Max Sneakers [true to size]
I wanted to love this top but it just wasn’t the right fit for me! The sleeves felt overwhelming and the boxy length didn’t sit right on my frame! It’s a really cute top though and would be perfect on the right body type!
Free People Packable Pullover [True to size, wearing medium] // Zella Leggings [size up if in between]
This is a really nice pullover, but I have a VERY similar one from Amazon for half the price! It wasn’t worth the splurge to me.
