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!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2022: How to Use the Sale to Save Big!

July 6, 2022 by Katie H.

Spanx faux leather leggings from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Preview is here! I am sure that if you follow any style blogger on Instagram you have already heard the news. I have always struggled with how to cover this sale. At times it can seem overdone, especially when it’s July and your entire Instagram feed is covered in sweaters and booties. But I’ve always loved following along with this sale. Not only do I shop it from time to time, but I also use it to build my fall wish list. Today I will tell you how you can save big by shopping through the sale, but I will also tell you how you can use this sale as your shopping guide for fall even if you don’t feel like buying anything in the actual sale.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale- Splurge or Save

July 16, 2021 by Katie Haller

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale- Splurge or Save
 It’s that time of the year again.  The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in full swing and I’m sure that you have seen at least one blogger do a try-on haul of the sale by now on Instagram.  I’m not going to lie, I actually do enjoy seeing what everyone buys.  I mean I would be excited too if I got to shop the sale the first week and leave with six bags full of goodies.  However, I have to wait until the sale goes public on July 28th to shop it.  This isn’t a bad thing though.  It actually gives me plenty of time to plan out my wishlist and think about the items I really want, then enough time to talk myself out of it and look for affordable options.

9 Mom Friendly Fall Outfits from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

July 20, 2019 by Katie Haller

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opened to the public this weekend, and so that means the normal non-cardholders, like myself, are welcome to shop the sale.  Now I know I polled my followers on Instagram and many of them said they are not shopping the NSale and they don’t care to hear about it.  I can respect that.  I know that if you follow any other bloggers besides me, you know this sale is a little overdone.  I myself don’t typically shop the NSale, because to be honest, I don’t stop just because there is a sale.  I try to only shop for things that I really want and  I’ve been eyeing for a while.  This doesn’t mean I don’t like to browse the sale.  Every year I spend hours browsing through the Nordstrom App and other bloggers’ blog posts to see what the most popular items are.  Sometimes I spend so much time browsing and eyeing the sale that I end up buying one or two things, but I try to make sure that it’s something from my “shopping list”.  I usually pick out items that I will wear and love for years to come.
