Tips For Shopping The 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

We’re officially 11 days away from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access and I am so excited. Truly — this is the sale of all sales.

Below are a few tips to help you navigate it strategically (and without losing your mind).

First things first — key dates:
Early Access: July 12 -18
Public Sale: July 19 - August 4

TIP 1: Become a Nordstrom Cardmember

Not only does this give you access to shop early, you’ll earn 3 points per dollar spent — which can be redeemed for Nordstrom Notes (aka $$$ off future purchases).

Right now, you can receive a $60 Note when you’re approved for a Nordstrom Credit Card.

Each cardholder also gets personal Triple Points days, which can be used during the sale. It does take about a week to receive your card in the mail — but when I applied in-store, they gave me a temporary card to use immediately until mine arrived. So don’t let that stop you.

TIP 2: Make a list before you shop

This sale can be overwhelming because everything is brand new — and the good items sell out fast.

Go in with a plan. Make a list of pieces you wear most or already know you want. That way you’re not distracted by things just because they’re “on sale.”

For me? Sweaters, booties, and a great plaid coat are at the top of my list. Once those are checked off, then I’ll browse.

Strategy > chaos.

TIP 3: Contact a personal stylist

They may be able to pull items ahead of time and have them ready when you arrive, which makes the entire experience so much easier.

I did this for the Triple Points event back in March and it was seamless. I already have my eye on a few NSale items this year, so this is definitely on my radar again.

TIP 4: If you’re shopping in-store — eat and hydrate

I cannot stress this enough.

Eat a solid meal beforehand or throw snacks in your bag. The fluorescent lighting alone drains me and I swear I always leave with a headache if I’m not prepared.

Comfort first. Always.

TIP 5: If you’re skipping the store, shop online.

My Nordstrom Sale Roundup post will be live the morning of the 12th. Throughout the sale, I’ll be sharing favorite finds and dressing room sneak peeks (like the one above from last year).

Make sure you’re following me in the LIKEtoKNOW.it app, where I’ll be linking exclusive content and direct shopping details throughout the sale.

That’s it for now! I’m heading to Nashville this weekend and will be shopping the sale there, so stay tuned for purchases, sizing details, and all the things.

Let the countdown begin.
