While we’re hitting publish today on this post, we still have a decent amount of items to try on. With that being said, we will be updating this blog post often with new hits & misses so keep checking back!
If you have been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale already, you may have missed a thing or two, but have no fear – you have until August 4th to purchase the products at a major discount. After that, prices will go back up to normal.
ANNIVERSARY SALE SHOPPING TIPS & TRICKS
- Anything that you love and want for yourself, add to your wish list and check out once the sale is live for your card level [reminder: if you don’t have a card, the public sale starts July 15th]! If it isn’t currently available in your size and color preference, things are always coming in and out of stock, so check back often!
- Remember that Nordstrom always offers free shipping and free returns! Because of this, I would recommend ordering two sizes on things you are unsure of, to make sure that you can get it at the sale price and return the one that doesn’t work!
- Some of the items I mention may currently be out of stock, but check back often for restocks! We’ll also be notifying you of restocks over on our Facebook page and #NSALE group [highly recommend joining the group for a ton of helpful info and nightly giveaways!]
- Keep in mind that while the sale lasts until 8/4, things go quick so don’t be like N*Sync and have to say “bye, bye, bye” to everything before it’s gone – shop early!
- BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE — to see even more #NSALE looks from the team, be sure to check out our lookbook for even more goodness!
- Grab the Nordstrom app for the easiest shopping experience AND instant restock alerts when you add to your wish list!

Treasure & Bond Jacket [size down, wearing XS]
Why it’s a miss: There wasn’t anything wrong with this jacket, I just didn’t love it on me. It was more oversized than I had anticipated, but overall it was a very soft fabric.
Zella Jacket [size up if in between, wearing small] // Zella Live In Leggings [true to size, wearing small] // Nike Sneakers
Why it’s a miss: I was so excited about this jacket leading up to the sale, but then I put it on and just didn’t love it. I don’t know if it was too bulky or what but it just didn’t vibe with me.
Steph’s Misses [5’4″ Size 10/12 or M/L]
Thread and Supply Vest [size up, wearing in large] // Zella Live in Leggings [size up if between, wearing in large] // Nike Air Max 90 Sneaker [size up .5]

Patchwork Double Breasted Blaze [size down if in between, wearing in size small] // Rib Sleeveless Sweater [size down if in between, wearing in size small] // KUT from the Kloth Raw Crop Hem [size down at least one, wearing 0] // Clemens Chelsea Boot [size down .5 if in between, wearing in size 7.5]
Why it’s a miss: This jacket just felt a little too oversized for me. I LOVED the pattern/print but I don’t think it’s something I would reach for often in my closet.
Claire’s Misses [5’5″ size M/L or 8/10]
Free People Pullover [True to size, wearing medium] // Zella Leggings [size up if in between]
Why it’s a miss: This is a really nice pullover, but I have a VERY similar one from Amazon for half the price! It wasn’t worth the splurge to me.

Zella Hybrid Jacket [true to size, wearing small] // Zella Biker Shorts [size up if in between, wearing medium] // On Cloud X 3 Shoe [true to size]
