Your Ultimate Guide to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: What to Buy!
I’ve been writing more than usual because of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and I tell my friends and family this is the equivalent of Christmas when it comes to shopping 😂 But, I’ll be back to the regular posting schedule soon. It has been a whirlwind of a week, so I thought it would be helpful to create the ultimate guide to help you navigate online shopping during the sale.
Today’s post is a recap on the best things to grab on the Sale. There are many items available that are in stock. For example, it’s a good time to think about a refresh for the men in our lives! So, I put together a few style boards (below) for a little outfit inspo. And, there are the beauty exclusives (which happen to be my personal favorites) that are incredible right now. Keep reading to see all the new things I found for you!
And now, a few pro-tip reminders …
For items that may have sold out, add a wrong size for the item you want to your cart. Keep checking on it since the inventory gets updated hourly, and returns have started to come in. Another idea is to purchase the wrong size, and wait until after the sale to hopefully exchange it for the correct size. For some reason, the day after the sale ends, hot items often miraculously show up!
Don’t overlook regular priced merchandise, even if it’s not on sale. Here’s the update: just this week, new collections from Vince, Veronica Beard, Alice & Olivia, Doen and Paige arrived. So, find cool pieces that make great outfits — that’s the key to building a really great wardrobe. And as always, happy shopping!
