Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2022: Splurge or Save

July 13, 2022 by Katie H.

Nordstrom Anniversary sale online shopping

One of my favorite things to do as I browse the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale each year is to find splurge or save items to share. I mentioned in my last post on this sale (HERE) that you don’t need to shop this sale to benefit from it. You can use the sale as your style guide for fall. There’s nothing wrong with a good splurge from time to time, but for me, I’m all about a good save!

Today I have rounded up some popular items from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and found less expensive similar items to give you a little splurge or save inspo. These save items capture the same great looks and styles from the brands in the Nordstrom sale but are a fraction of the price. Another great thing about these less expensive options is that you can shop them for this price at any time. The Nordstrom sale ends July 31st and the prices will go back to their normal retail prices, but these less expensive items will stay the same price, so when you are ready to shop for fall pieces they will still be the same low price!

Splurge or Save items from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Splurge or Save the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Barefoot dreams blanket or look-a-like blanket

1.) Barefoot Dreams In the Wild Throw Blanket vs. Luxury Fleece Leopard Throw Blanket

This is one of the most popular items in the n-sale and I personally can’t bring myself to spend over $100 for a throw blanket, especially with little kids. That’s why I love this look-alike blanket from Amazon!

Plaid shaket

2.) BLANKNYC Plaid Shacket vs. Beaully Flannel Plaid Jacket

There are a couple of cute shackets in the Nordstrom sale, but for me, shackets are a trend that I would rather not splurge on.

Colorblock cardigan

3.) Madewell Kent Colorblock Cardigan vs. ECOWISH Colorblock Cardigan

I love the colors of this Madewell. They are perfect for fall, but if you are just looking for the look this Amazon cardigan is very similar!

Mules with buckle

4.) Steve Madden Fleur Pointed Toe Mule vs. Juliet Holy Mules

I saw these mules last year in the sale and I had to get a similar pair. I wish I would have known about this pair on Amazon! They are so similar to the real pair, plus you can get them in a bunch of colors!

Navy blue pajamas

5.) Moonlight Eco Short Pajamas vs. Doublju Short Sleeve Button-Down Pajamas

I love these Moonlight short pajamas, however, there are a lot of similar pajamas out there for a fraction of the sale price. I have a pair from Amazon, but this pair here is from Walmart!

Plaid blazer

6.) 1.State Plaid Double Breasted Blazer vs. LookbookStore Plaid Office Blazer

I love blazers, but they often are expensive. For me, I just don’t wear them enough to justify a splurge. That’s why I love this similar plaid blazer from Amazon!

Wallet purse on chain

7.) Rebecca Minkoff Edie Quilted Leather Wallet vs. SG SUGU Quilted Crossbody Bag

I love a good splurge purse, but in recent years I have avoided spending a lot of money on my bags. This designer-inspired purse from Amazon has the same great style, with a much lower price tag.

Barefoot dreams cardigan

8.) Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Lite Cabin Cardigan vs. ZESICA Fuzzy Cardigan

The Barefoot Dreams cardigans are always another popular item in the Nordstrom sale, but I always feel that the price tag is too high. That’s why I’m up for a save on this cardigan.

Wool fedora hat

9.) Brixton Joanna Felted Wool Fedora vs. Lisianthus Wool Fedora Panama Hat

The Nordstrom sale always has cute fall hats. Personally, I have a lot of really great hats that I have bought on Amazon. This one is my favorite fall hat and the price point is perfect for my budget!

Henley sweater

10.) Madewell Lyle Rib Henley Sweater vs. Jollycode V Neck Button Down Henley Sweater

Last, on my list, this year is this Madewell henley sweater. I love the real one in the N-sale, but this Amazon sweater looks just as cute for less!

Happy Sunday! I usually like to take the weekends Happy Sunday! I usually like to take the weekends to lay low and spend less time on Instagram. That's why a Sunday post is rare around here, but I wanted to share some of my outfits from the weekend. 

Sunday- This dress is my lazy day dress! It's all one piece with a built in bra, so there is no thought required when getting dressed! 🤣 I wore a plaid flannel because even though the temps are in the 90's the grocery store always feels like Antarctica! 🥶

Saturday- I wore my Amazon ruffled skirt, with bike shorts under! This skirt is so fun for summer! The tank top is from last summer and it's out of stock. 

Friday- We actually had a night out away from the kids which is always fun! I wanted to keep my outfit really easy, but also accessorize with a few pieces that I don't get to wear often when I have the kids with me. 

Outfits are linked on my shopping page on the blog! [link in bio] Or go to the @shop.ltk app and follow @thriftywifehappylife for details!

I know that teachers spend a lot of their own mone I know that teachers spend a lot of their own money every school year on their classrooms, so I completely understand how their back-to-school wardrobe might get neglected. That's why I always feel that shopping second hand can be the perfect way to add new fun pieces to your teaching wardrobe without spending too much money. 

In my own personal experience, as a preschool teacher I always preferred to shop second hand. I spent less on my clothes and I wasn't afraid of getting messy in the classroom knowing that my clothes were so affordable. 

Here are a weeks worth of 100% thrifted outfits! Which would you wear?
