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!

No matter how I styled this it was just BAD… Not worth the money in my opinion!
Fleece Jacket [TTS, wearing in XXS but WAY too small] // Bodysuit [Size up if in between, wearing in S] // Jeans [Size down if in between, wearing in 0] // Mules [TTS]
I wanted to love this jacket and granted it was WAY too small, should have tried a different size! But it was pretty bulky and not flattering in my opinion!
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!
Zella Hybrid Ventilated Hooded Jacket [size up if in between, wearing small] // Zella Studio Luxe High Waist Flare Ankle Pants [size up if in between, wearing small] // Nike Max SYSTM Sneaker [true to size, wearing 8]
While I loved the overall look of this jacket I didn’t love the “frill” look when it was zipped and pulled!
Zella Mesh Jacket [TTS, wearing M] // Zella Leggings [TTS] // Adidas Sneakers [size down .5]
I was so excited about this jacket, but didn’t love the way the mesh area draped once it was on and didn’t know what to do with the ties in the front! It just didn’t turn out the way I envisioned it. Pass for me!
Zella Quilted Jacket [TTS, wearing medium] // Layering Tee [runs small, size up] // Zella Leggings [TTS] // Adidas Sneakers
While I loved the idea of this jacket, the white version felt a little bit like a lab coat on. If you like the quilted look, give the black version a try!
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! If you decide to give it a whirl, I would suggest a long sleeve shirt for layering!
Jen’s Misses [5’7″, size M in tops]
Free People Rocky Ridge Pullover [true to size, wearing M] // Zella leggings [true to size] // Dolce Vita Vina Sneaker [true to size, wearing 9]
I really wanted to love this one … but it was just a little too much all on top from material to pattern!
