You guys!  Only four more days until the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts!  I can’t tell you how excited I am for this sale!  I do a lot of sale posts throughout the year and if there’s one that you don’t want to miss, it’s going to be THIS ONE.  It’s the BIGGEST sale of the year.  For real. The biggest.  You’re probably wondering what is the big deal about this sale?  The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is your chance to score brand new, just arrived styles for Fall at SUBSTANTIAL, super sale prices.  When I say substantial, I’m talking about INSANE deals.  Here are the important dates you need to know:

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Important Dates

• Early access starts July 14th – July 21st (for cardholders only, sign up HERE)
• Sale open to everyone on July 22nd – August 2nd
• Prices go back up on August 3rd

First things first, you need a Nordstrom credit card!  Why?  Because you will have access to the sale 8 DAYS before the sale is available to the public.  This is so important because the most coveted items and sizes will be long gone and sold out before the sale is available to everyone.  I don’t have very many credit cards but this is by far my favorite one.  I regret not having gotten one years ago.

Nordstrom Cardholder Level Perks

\\ There are SO many benefits and perks to being a cardholder.  You earn points for every dollar you spend and receive Nordstrom notes (AKA free shopping money).  As a Nordstrom cardholder, you can unlock new and exciting benefits on your annual Nordstrom purchases.  All new cardholders start at level one.

Each level you achieve earns you more and more benefits.  For instance, level 4 cardholders enjoy unlimited complimentary alterations.  This alone is worth it especially if you’re petite and require a lot of tailoring.  Level 4 cardholders also get one day early access in store before the early access sale starts on July 14th!

I bought this Chloe Marcie handbag with my rewards and paid nothing out of pocket!!  Yup.  That’s how amazing it is.  So you’re telling me, I get rewarded to shop so I can shop some more?  Okay!  Sign me up please (lol)!  If you’re thinking credit cards aren’t your thing, then you can get the Nordstrom debit card which links directly to your bank account and you’ll still receive the same benefits as the Nordstrom retail card.  Sign up HERE to get access to the sale EIGHT days before the public.  You will NOT regret this.

If you’re dead set on not getting a Nordstrom card or debit card and want to wait until the sale is available to the public, here is a shopping tip to help you shop smarter and easier.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Online Shopping Tip

Save your items to your favorites (see red arrow below) so you can easily access them later. You can also share this list with friends and family.

This saves SO MUCH time and energy especially when you know coveted items and sizes will be selling out fast and you’re scrambling to find your favorites.  Don’t live near a Nordstrom store? Click HERE to locate your nearest store.  Remember you always get free shipping (both ways) and free returns.

All the hoopla about this sale is enough to make your mind spin, palms sweet and your heart race.  When I got my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Catalog in the mail, I almost hugged my mailman (lol).  It’s THAT good.  The catalog only shows a fraction of what is going to be included in the sale.  Overwhelmed yet?  Don’t worry, I will do all the hard work of you.  I’ll scour the deals, select my top picks and make it super easy for you to shop.

Now lets talk about this adorable striped side knot tee.  I’m usually not a t-shirt type of girl but lately, I’ve been gravitating towards really comfortable and soft items.  It comes in several colors and is available in regular and petite sizes.  I opted for size XS regular to give myself a little more length in case I want to wear it with leggings.
