Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2023

It’s officially time for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! This is my top favorite sale to shop every year – and the preview is such a big help! I love the fact that you can preview the sale, add items you’d like to purchase to your “wish list” and then move them all to your cart when you’re able to access the sale. It saves so much time and makes the whole process less stressful!

What is the NSale?

It’s Nordstrom’s biggest sale/fashion event of the year where you can save on brand new items and home and fashion essentials! The sale runs July 11 (if you’re a Nordstrom card holder. Apply here.)- August 6, but public access to the sale starts July 17.

As usual, access to the sale is broken into tiers:

Since I’m a Nordstrom Card holder, I’m able to shop the sale on July 13 as an “Influencer” (everyone who has the Nordstrom Card starts out at the “Influencer” level.

One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of the items full-time influencers share, will sell out QUICK! For example, the Barefoot dreams blankets are always part of the sale, and I’ve never been able to grab one during it. It’s also very frustrating because I see a lot of these full-time influencers buy multiples of one item for giveaways!

This is why my guide will have a mix of a few popular items that are always part of the sale (like Spanx faux leather leggings), and other items that I don’t think will sell out as quickly.

Feeling overwhelmed with all the sale collages being thrown at you?

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when all you see are sale collages on social media. Here’s my technique – go into the sale with a focus. For example, one year I focused on loungewear (must have been 2020/2021 during the COVID-19 Pandemic). Another year, I focused on jewelry/accessories. Also, give yourself a budget – there is no need to go into debt over this sale! Because I’m planning to buy one big item this year, I may not buy anything else, or I might buy one or two items for a total of three items. We shall see!

My NSale Guide

I think the NSale is a great time to stock up on Nordstrom brand jewlery – the quality is great (they don’t turn my skin green!) and it’s very affordable! It’s also a great time to stock up on basic pieces like tanks and trench coats that carry you from fall to winter. Below are my guides that I hope help you find your focus for this year’s sale.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Guide | 2022

It’s officially that time! Time to preview the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

This is the time when I do the majority of my shopping from Nordstrom. I try to stick to a theme every year in order to stay focused and within my budget. For example, during the year COVID-19 first hit, I stuck with loungewear. Another year, my focus was on accessories – Nordstrom’s brand is great quality! This year, my focus is kind of spread out.. where I’m wanting one lounge piece, maybe one necklace, and perhaps a pair of shoes? Yes, I don’t really have a theme this year, but if I plan to stick to only ONE item per category, I think I’ll be good! I’ll share what I eventually end up ordering!

One important thing to take note of is the tiered access system. If you’re a Nordstrom Card holder, you’ll get earlier access to the sale, depending on how much you spend a year.

One important thing I need to mention is to ALWAYS stay focused and never go past your budget. It can be very easy to get excited and get off track – which is why I find a theme for each year or a main focus. A general piece of advice for any major sale is to stick to basics. I recently read that your wardrobe should be 80% basics and 20% trendy pieces, which I think is a great rule to follow.

I usually use this sale to try something I’ve been wanting to try, but didn’t want to make the splurge without a sale. I also use this sale as a time to buy jewelry. I’ve found Nordstrom brand jewelry to be great quality! I have a number of pieces from Nordstrom that have lasted years!

I took a look at the preview for the sale and put together things I don’t think will sell out fast. One of my biggest pet peeves is hearing full-time influencers share items that are already sold out by the time the general public has access to the sale. So, I made it a point to only include a few big name brand pieces. I do have one collage dedicated to Barefoot Dreams, but I’m hoping there’s enough variety to where you will still have options if something is sold out – like the leopard blanket for example – it sells out FAST! So, I include other blanket styles as well.

My husband never shops the NSale, so I didn’t take the time to make any collages for the menswear/accessories. The same goes for kids, since we don’t have kids.

The NSale is one of my favorite sales and I look forward to it every year! I hope you find my guide helpful!

Best Sellers | July 25 – Aug. 1

The best sellers list is out! My Ralph Lauren coat from Nordstrom is on sale! It’s originally more than $200, so this is a great deal to take advantage of now. It’s stylish and warm!

Another item from Nordstrom are the earrings – it’s part of the #Nsale! They were just delivered to me yesterday, but I ordered these last year. I love them! I only had to order them again because I lost one of them earlier this year. They’re great quality and don’t make my ears change color.

Next up, this bralette from Abercrombie – it’s so soft and is part of a set (sold separately), and amazing for lounging around in. Unfortunately, my exact color is out, but they have other great color options!

Another item from Abercrombie are the jeans – they’ve been a constant best-seller, so I’m not surprised to see it make the list again. I love Abercrombie jeans and wish I bought my first pair sooner!

Lastly, this makeup brush set from Amazon is a must-have for any makeup lover. It’s such a good price for a 14-piece brush-set! They’re soft and easy to clean.

The NSale is taking over my life | Adjusted Wish List

My previous blog post was all about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and what my focus on items would be on.

Well, that basically all went out the window as things started to sell out fast as it opened up to Icons, Ambassadors, and Influencers first.

I was bummed, but this is also helping me narrow down my wish list. However, because the sale is open to different people in different tiers first.. I’m also being HEAVILY INFLUENCED by everyone shopping early! It’s changed up my wish list and now I’m looking at more than just comfy loungewear.

Here’s a look at my modified wish list:

I’ve left sold out items in my cart on purpose.. hoping it might be back in stock when it’s my time to shop the sale.

I’ve deleted a few items and added a few new things, further adding to my indecisiveness.

I do have a list of Must Haves within this wish list:

  1. Barefoot Dreams Blanket
  2. Indoorsy Sweatshirt
  3. The 42 Gold Fog Suede Booties
  4. One of those leggings. Still can’t decide between the BP pair or the Spanx pair.
  5. Barefoot Dreams Socks (is this silly?)
  6. Madewell Camo Jacket

I also went to Nordstrom Rack yesterday hoping to find a Barefoot Dreams Blanket – I’ve heard they’re listed for even cheaper at $50! I didn’t find any.

What I did find were several lounge sets! So, I picked up one pair of the softest shorts I’ve ever touched, one red lounge set, and a grey cropped t-shirt. Now, I’m not so sure about these lounge sets on my wish list since I already found some for around $20.

I’m definitely hoping to get this narrowed down even more before the 13th!

Hope this blog post helps anyone looking to also narrow down their wish list!

Did you see last week’s YouTube video? It was all about my corgis!

I won’t have a regular video going up today as it will be another one about my corgis.

I’ve also placed a big order on Amazon – video on that will be up once everything comes in! It’s been divided into three orders.

Hope you all have a great week!
