Ah, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: not to sound like a broken blogger record, but it is one of the best sales of the year (seriously!) It’s incredible because you can shop brand new fall arrivals at a serious discount, and Nordstrom carries some of my favorite brands.

The #NSale is now open to Nordstrom credit card holders today, starting at 12:30 PM EST, and it is open to the public on July 19th. I personally use the sale to stock up some things I hate to buy full price: jeans, shoes, and designer handbags. I’ll be making a few posts during the sale throughout the next couple of weeks, but don’t worry: I won’t bombard you with it! I don’t want to pressure you into buying a whole bunch of things you don’t need. Make a list of what items you’re looking for: whether it be denim, workwear, investment pieces, coats, etc. Prioritize what’s essential for you, and stick to your budget! 

To kick things off, I wanted to share some picks from the sale that are under $100. Above are some pieces that I think will sell out pretty quickly, based on what items have been top sellers during previous sales. I tried on this Madewell Stripe Cardigan yesterday, and it’s my #1 pick of the sale. It’s so soft IRL, and I love the color block details. Also, these Spanx Faux Leggings are 100% worth the hype. They managed to suck my belly in, yet they’re super comfortable and something I can see myself wearing for several hours.

Ahhh: the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It’s coming!

I’m sure you’ve seen every blogger and their mother talk about this sale year after year. But, if you’re unfamiliar with the sale, let me break it down for you. Most retailers have a big sale at the end of the season, but not Nordstrom. During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, you can purchase brand new fall items for a huge discount. Clothing, shoes, accessories, beauty, home decor…you name it! However, it’s for a limited time only. 

I’ve been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for about five years now.  But do I think it’s worth it?
