This post is primarily for my USA readers. Tips on how to plan/shop the Nordstrom Anniversary sale.
The Nordstrom anniversary sale is the best sale ever. I can’t believe that they will be discounting the latest Autumn 2017 collections.
The Anniversary Sale works differently than your typical sale. Instead of the items starting off at full price then being discounted, they start on sale, then go up to their original price on August 7th.
This just does not happen in Europe. If you live in the US and have an account at Nordstrom you can get early access beginning today. Popular items sell out fast so early access makes a difference. You can apply for a card HERE however it may take a few days to process. I wish that I could be a cardholder (not available if you live outside the US).
When the sale opens to everyone on July 21st I intend to check out Eileen Fisher; as I know my size in this brand. I will also be exploring the accessories section. Nordstrom ship internationally and make life easy by handling postage and duty costs up front.
Despite the current hot weather some of us like to plan our wardrobes early. For those with a practical mindset you might like to make a list of items that need replacing. Alternatively you could dream a little and choose items that you would love to have in your wardrobe but can’t afford at the normal retail prices. You never know you might be lucky and an ideal piece in you size is waiting to be popped into your shopping basket. If you are not yet sure what your “Autumn look” will be you could check out their comprehensive catalogue for inspiration. I find that accessories such as handbags jewellery and possibly shoes are always a good option.
Brands I favour are those that I am familiar with as they are available in the UK.
I find it is usually a good start to check out brands that you like and buy from. The tried and trusted always works better in sales. This is not the time to go for “wanton experimentation”. In my opinion it is best to stick with the perennial classics.
