Top Picks

July 13, 2021

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is happening now through Aug 8th (Early Access for cardmembers started yesterday and the public will gain access on July 28th), and with a lot of their new arrivals being perfect for Fall, it’s always a good time to stock up on essentials for the upcoming season.

Big sales like this are great opportunities to pick up those pieces that will transition easily for Fall. For myself, I tend to look for pieces that would classify as wardrobe staples and aren’t too trendy because I want to maximize my cost per wear. During the Summer months I like to get playful with color and different prints, but I’ve found myself reaching for neutrals (blacks, taupes/beiges, greys, etc) for Fall with a rich pop of color here and there, and Nordstrom always has a heavy selection of items that fall under this umbrella.

Also, something to keep in mind when shopping the #NSale: some items might show out of stock during the early days if you’re waiting for public access shopping, but just check back in on them periodically because they do tend to restock products throughout the entire sale.

A few things that are on my radar (you’ll notice a theme, lol):
