Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you are well aware that the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is under way. Early access opened up to card holders on July 12th but public access begins the 20th! I braved the store during early access week to find out what I was loving and what wasn’t workin’ for me.  Fortunately (or unfortunately) for my wallet, most things I tried worked out. So, come on and take a trip with me into my dressing room…

Cardigans/Jackets

Can a gal ever have too many blazers, I ask you? The answer to that is always no! This blazer was one of my absolute favorite things I tried on. Soft, flattering, and has pockets! I found it true to size and am wearing in xs. These amazing jeans are also true to size and I’m wearing in size 4.

I realize this is kind of an odd picture but I was doing my best to show you the adorable scallop detail. Either in my belly or on my arms, a scallop can do no wrong! This one ran true to size for me and I’m wearing in an xs.

I wanted this drape jacket to work SO bad but alas I’m just a tiny shrimp. 5’1″ over here (on a good day!)  So, hate to beg but if you are taller, I am on my hands and knees asking you to get this! I would assume the jacket runs true to size and the jeans are also true to size. I’m wearing in a size 27.

Holy softness!! This is one of my favorite brands because of the sheer softness. I liked this one too because it can easily worn with leggings for extra comfort! Currently sold out but hoping it will be restocked for the public sale!  True to size for me. I’m wearing in XS.

Aaaand the winner for my favorite cardigan goes to this little BP number! It comes in a bunch of colors and will go with so many things! I suggest sizing down and am wearing in an XXS. The tee is true to size and the jeans are as well.

Tops

This is the perfect color for fall and I think it could be easily dressed up or down! True to size for me. Wearing in XS.

I liked this henley so much that I had to try it on in black as well! The black is definitely dressy enough to be worn to work as well.

This top didn’t jump out at me when I was shopping online but turned out to be one of my favorite items I tried on. It’s cute. It’s simple. It’s casual. It’s perfect. True to size. Wearing in XS. These jeans are also amazing and true to size.

{Tee}

Next up, we have the BP striped tee. There’s just something about a striped tee that screams fall and I for one, will never have enough! This one fit true to size and I’m wearing in an XS.

{TankJeans}

This tank is a little on the shorter side so probably wouldn’t work if you have a longer torso but it worked perfectly on me! The color is to die for and it can easily be dressed up for work or play. True to size. Wearing in XS.

Dresses

I’m really not a dress wearer so this was actually the only dress I tried on but I loved it!! The dressing room lighting does not do the coloring of this dress justice plus it has POCKETS!! Size down. Wearing in XS but usually wear size S in dresses.

Bottoms

{TeePants}

I didn’t think twice about these pants when I saw them online but trying them on in person was a whole ‘nother ball game. I LOVED them! I have been all over this style of pant recently and these will transition perfectly from summer to fall. I found them true to size and am wearing size small.

Shamefully, I am a huge Khloe Kardashian fan and had been dying to try her Good American jeans. Unfortunately, these just didn’t work for me. I think if I was curvier they would be much better. After all, a Kardashian designed them so I’m not sure what I was thinking…

Those rose gold details though!! All the heart eyes!! Plus, look at those scalloped sneakers! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’ll take scallops either IN or ON my body 🙂

Sole Society is a great brand (I have several of their purses and shoes) and this crossbody looks like a perfect little accessorry! If you are in need of a black bag, I recommend this perfectly priced one!

IMPORTANT DATES

The sale begins for Nordstrom cardholders on July 12, 2018. The sale will be open to the public beginning on July 20, 2018. I know that some people don’t like credit cards but in my opinion, it’s worth signing up for in order to get early access. Things go FAST and many items will be sold out by the0th. It’s important to note that you don’t have to actually USE the credit card in order to get access on July 12, you just need to have one. Prices will go up August 6.

  • SIGN UP FOR A NORDSTROM CREDIT CARD

Right now, if you sign up for a card, you will receive a $40 Nordstrom note (which is free money) when you make a purchase upon approval. You can spend ANY amount and still receive the note!  Sign up for a card right here.

  • You can browse the catalog now but I never find the catalog very impressive. The sale typically includes much better items. Browse here.

TIPS & TRICKS

  • Shop early! I plan on getting up at 3 a.m. to shop as soon as the sale goes live in order to score the best deals and put together my top picks.
  • Keep checking back if your item becomes out of stock because things are often restocked as returns come back.
  • Shop online! The stores can be crowded and the selection can be extremely limited. More importantly, who likes shopping while wearing pants anyways? #notthisgirl

  • Hit “checkout” immediately! Since everything is free shipping, I suggest checking out every time you place something in your cart in order to avoid the item getting sold out.
  • Most importantly, follow me on facebook! I will be posting like a mad woman throughout the sale. I also plan on ordering a bunch of items to review and post styling ideas. Make sure to follow me here.I think that about covers it but if you have any questions at all, just drop ’em below or on my facebook page! 

     

    HAPPY SHOPPING!
