What makes the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale a big deal

Everyone likes sales, but sales are basically always at the end of a season on the leftover inventory.

The thing that makes the Nordstrom Anniversary sale different is that these items go on sale at the beginning of the season. These are all fall and winter items that you’ll see in store in the fall, but they’re on sale now before the season begins. Once the sale is over, you’ll see the prices go back up.

Also, because this sale is so popular, lots of things sell out quickly. So if you have your eye on something, I’ll share below how to get notified when it come back in stock.

Here is when the sale is shoppable:

The sale is shoppable based on tiers, so not everyone is eligible to shop at the same time. Here’s the breakdown so you can see when you’re able to shop.

• July 6: Early Access for cardmembers with Icon status.

• July 7: Early Access for cardmembers with Ambassador status.

• July 9: Early Access for cardmembers with Influencer status.

• July 15: Anniversary Sale opens to the general public.

Here’s how I recommend shopping this sale

Since things sell out so quickly in this sale, it can be super frustrating to miss what you were eyeing.

Some items will get restocked, or people will return and your size will pop back into stock, so here’s how to get notified without much effort, or grab your favorites before they sell out as soon as you’re eligible to shop.

I combed through the entire sale and looked for things that I have already purchased and loved in the past, or new items that are worth checking out. I was really selective, and stayed away from all the sweaters and most of the jackets, cause it’s JULY. I just cannot bring myself to buy that stuff right now when it’s 104 degrees outside.

But there are lots of good jeans, many good shoes, some good dresses, activewear, and many good beauty deals.

To keep it from being overwhelming for you, I’ve broken it into separate posts so it’s easier to navigate. I hope that’s helpful!
