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 Wishlist

July 26, 2020 by Katie Haller

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020
I’m sure by now most of you are familiar with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  Basically, this sale is kind of a big deal because Nordstrom puts all their brand new fall clothes on sale at the beginning of the season.  Most sales are in the middle of the season or at the end, so you’re not getting the brand new merchandise.  That’s why this sale is the most blogged about sale of the year.   I’m always a little hesitant to cover this sale because some times I  think it’s overdone.  Every blogger covers the sale and they go crazy over it.  All you see on your news feed on Instagram for the whole second half of the summer is fall clothes from the Nsale.  To be honest, I don’t always shop this sale because I don’t shop just because there is a big sale, however, I do browse this sale every year.  It’s just too hard to ignore and because I do love shopping at Nordstrom so much, I like to get an idea of the new fall fashion trends.  I will also make a purchase if I see something that I really like, but I would never go crazy and buy up a whole new wardrobe.  Many of the clothes that are on sale are usually out of my price range, but with the sale prices, I’m more likely to make a purchase.

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.

I love a black dress, but on its own it’s a litt I love a black dress, but on its own it’s a little boring! Here’s my outfit formal for keeping my summer outfits from falling short! 👇

1️⃣ Create shape and balance! I did this by adding a belt just above my natural waist. 
2️⃣ Add Jewelry. Do not skip this step! No outfit is complete without at least 2 pieces of jewelry. 
3️⃣ Define the style of the outfit with shoes! The style of shoes you pick will define your outfit. Example Sneakers=casual, Heels=dressy, in this case I went with an elevated casual sandal. It’s a step up from casual, but not too dressy. Elevated casual is my personal favorite style because it can go either way. 😉
4️⃣ Complete the look with some accessories! A cute hand bag or sunglasses 😎 

Follow this summer outfit formula to keep all your outfits looking cute and stylish this summer!

I’ve always found thrifting a great way to keep wardrobe fresh without spending a lot of money, but over the last 5 years or so my thrifting strategy has changed from getting the most for my money to intentionally looking for brands and styles that are usually out of my price range at retail prices and finding them for less buying them second hand!
