What’s All The Hoopla About This Sale?
It is that time a year again for the Nordstrom Anniversary sale! Why is this such a fabulous sale you ask, because it is the only sale where you can purchase Fall clothes, shoes and accessories before the season starts!

How To Prepare
If you want to shop the sale early, make sure you are a Nordstrom cardholder so that you can shop early access. Being a Nordstrom cardholder means you get to use the great rewards and you get to shop the sale early. If you apply for a Nordstrom card before the sale begins and you’re approved, you’ll get a Nordstrom Note, aka a rewards certificate or gift card, if you spend $100 on the day you are approved. There’s no annual fee for the card, and for every $1 you spend at Nordstrom you receive 2 points.
If you’re already a Nordstrom cardholder, you can check your status on the Nordstrom website to see when you can start shopping the anniversary sale. Being a cardholder also means you get perks like alterations, same-day delivery on certain items, and more. Plus, you get to shop early for the anniversary sale, which means you’ll have first dibs on everything you want!
Whatever your card status is this is the perfect time to go through your closet and make a list of any pieces you need to add to your wardrobe. Regardless of your budget size I think it’s important to shop smart. I like to focus on investment pieces that are timeless and you can wear for years. Avoid buying something super trendy that you may only wear a few times. If you can’t buy everything on the list go with the item that gives you the biggest bang for your buck a beautiful coat, suit, or dress that will transition easily throughout your wardrobe.
If you don’t know where to start or just need some inspiration, I will be rounding up my favorite pieces from the sale and posting them over the next few weeks.
