The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, otherwise known as Christmas in July (or in August this year, on par for 2020), has always been the best time of year to stock up on Fall and Winter goodies that are on sale when they are released, rather than at the end of the season, thus offering the best prices.
Although things are looking different this year, this sale promises the best new goods at amazing saving and the preview time this year will be longer than usual. What does this all mean?
Everyone will be able to view the items that are included in the sale online beginning on July 24th. You will be able to add items to your “wish list” at this time, and depending on your “level” at Nordstrom, you will be able to check out online or shop in the store anywhere from Aug. 4th to Aug. 18th. You MUST have a Nordstrom retail or credit card to shop this sale OR be a member of the Nordy Club during the insider access period. You can join the club HERE or apply for a card HERE. The sale opens to non card holders on August 19th and ends for everyone on Aug. 30th. The earlier you can check out, the better chance you have of getting your must have items before they sell out.
I will be breaking my picks for this event by category below, enjoy!
Shoes
The first category that I always cover is shoes because the deals during this sale are the best of the year! See my top picks below and remember, these prices are the best you will see all season!
Outerwear
I am a midwesterner, so naturally outerwear is a huge part of my wardrobe. I will say that my girls and I all have and LOVE the Patagonia Radalie jackets because they are so warm without being bulky. We all have a size small and wear them all winter long and I was excited to see them included in the sale this year! I have rounded up my other top outerwear picks for casual and dressy looks, as well as cold and moderate weather below.
Accessories
This sale is a great time to buy a new purse, wallet, pair of sunglasses, or work bag. The prices on these items rarely seen this low and the styles are perfect for Fall. My top picks on these are neutral and will last for years!
Athletic and Lounge Wear
This year especially, athletic and lounge wear has become a wardrobe staple for so may of us. Athletic wear can be styled in so many ways and can easily be worn outside of the gym or your home. Now is a great time to stock up on athleisure and comfortable pajamas!
Bottoms
Whether you work from home, in an office, or are a stay at home parent, there are lots of great options for bottoms during this sale. Premium denim is always discounted and there are some steals on work, casual, and date night ready bottoms. There is something for everyone!
Sweaters, Tops and Cozy Sweatshirts
Although cold weather is not usually welcomed with open arms, stocking up on cozy cardigans, sweaters, tops and sweatshirts is the silver lining to the changing temps. There are so many wonderful staple items in this category that last year after year. I have rounded up my must have items below!
Dress Wear
If you dress up for work or have a special event to prepare for, this sale is the right time to grab a classic piece for your wardrobe. I have chosen some dresses and jumpsuits that are versatile, timeless, and best of all, priced right. My top picks are below, now if I only had somewhere to go!
This sale really is the best time of the year to save! I encourage you to shop within your means and to purchase items that will be versatile for your lifestyle and stand the test of time. Happy shopping Nordy girls!
