YAY, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale preview is HERE! I’ve been waiting for this day, and now that I’ve had a first look-through, I want to walk you through my favorites category by category before Early Access opens.
Here’s the thing about the NSale: it moves FAST. Popular items sell out within days of early access opening, sometimes within hours, so the smartest move you can make right now is to start your Nordstrom Wishlist. It tracks the item AND your size, so when your access date rolls around, you can go straight to checkout instead of hunting all over again.
If you’re new here or you missed my first post, go check out my complete Nordstrom Anniversary Sale guide for what this sale is about, why it’s worth shopping, and the full date breakdown. Come back here once you’re caught up!
How to Use This Post
As you scroll through each category, add anything that catches your eye to your Nordstrom wishlist. You can always remove something later if you change your mind, but you can’t un-miss an item that sold out while you were still deciding. Since the preview just dropped, this is the best time to start building your list before the good stuff disappears.
Jeans
I always check to see if any of the Wit & Wisdom jeans are on sale. The bootcut jeans and a couple of the straight legs are BELOVED. This brand is super STRETCHY and has that game-changing elastic in the waistband!
Shoes & Boots
There are some really good, versatile shoes that you’ll get lots of use out of for years to come. My FAVORITE boot purchase from last year is back in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year, right HERE. SO MANY of you guys have asked me about them whenever I’ve shown them throughout the past year. Definitely get them ON SALE!
These flats are also the perfect simple, timeless silhouette. They are especially great if you don’t like the Mary Jane style and just wish you could find a good shoe without them being that style.
But, these flats are also that same silhouette, except with mesh for a slightly fresher and more modern look. So cute!
This boot is also one to try if you need a good tall boot.
Tops
Jackets & Layers
Pants
These pants for work are SOOOOOO COMFY! Super duper SOFT and STRETCHY but also very sturdy and polished.
Athleisure & Activewear
Loungewear, Intimates, Sleepwear
Bags & Accessories
Dresses
Home
Here are a few home items from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that are totally worth checking out. In particular, this blanket is under $25 — and my family has used it for YEARS. It washes so well and looks good as new. We have several of them now (because my kids kept stealing mine!!)
Final Thoughts
Remember, this sale doesn’t wait around. If you saw something you loved in any of these categories, get it on your wishlist now so you’re not scrambling (or missing out) when access opens.
And this is just the first glance! I’ll be covering try-ons, best jeans, and best shoes in the coming weeks, so make sure you’re on my email list so you don’t miss anything.
