The moment we’ve all been waiting for is FINALLY here… the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! The sale goes live tonight (07/10) at 12:01 am EST! Every year, twice a year, Nordstrom puts on one of the biggest sitewide sales. This is your chance to stock up on all things summer, pre-fall, accessories, back-to-work trends, and shoes! Luckily for you, I’ve done the challenging part of scouring Nordstrom’s site for all the best deals and closet must-haves, so all you have to do is swipe your card!
You’re probably wondering how some Nordstrom customers have access today and how others won’t have access for a few days, so let me break down the Nordstrom cardholder hierarchy for you:
- Icon: This is the crème de la crème of the Nordstrom sale. As an ‘Icon’ status member, you must have spent $15,000 at Nordstrom this past year. One of the best perks of this status level is that you’ll have first access beginning tonight (technically 12:01 a.m. ET). Not only is this status first to shop, but it also offers free alterations (for garments purchased at Nordstrom), access to lifestyle workshops, 5 personal double points days, priority access to events, dining and spa experiences, same-day deliveries, no fees, access to Nordstrom after-hours, Icon-only events, and Icon level customer service. Icons shop July 11-16.
- Ambassador: The second tier of the sale includes the ‘Ambassadors’ status. You must have spent at least $5,000 in the past year at Nordstrom. As an Ambassador, you can access free basic alterations, first-to-shop access, lifestyle workshops, 4 personal double points days, and invite-only events. Ambassadors shop July 12 to 16.
- Influencer: The third tier of the Nordstrom sale includes ‘Influencers.’ You must have spent $500 in the past year at Nordstrom to hold this status. If you are an Influencer, you can access free basic alterations, first-to-shop access, lifestyle workshops, 4 personal double points days, and priority access to fashion events. Influencers shop July 13 to 16.
- Member: The first three tiers are for Nordstrom cardholders. To become a member, you do not need a Nordstrom card, but you do need an account (hint: Nordstrom member accounts are free!). Members can access free basic alterations, first-to-shop access, and lifestyle workshops. This is access for the public. Members and everyone else from the public may shop from July 17 to August 6.
*If you're worried that my top picks will be gone by the time your status gains access (yes, popular pieces go fast!), do not fret!! I’ll update my top picks as each tier is allowed access to offer you the most up-to-date style guides for your wardrobe.
You may be wondering, what’s the big deal about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? Some of the brands and categories of the store only go on sale once or twice a year. So, if you’ve had your eye on a piece recently, now is your chance to snatch it up! The prices will go back up on August 7th. Nordstrom has an incredible return policy. As long as the item you purchase during the sale isn’t noted as a ‘final sale,’ it is eligible for return for whatever reason you may have.
My Top Tips for Shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale:
- There are many items in each of my lists, so make sure you view them all before making your final selections.
- Remember, each garment is available in different sizes. Check the size guides Nordstrom provides (they’re VERY good at providing the actual brand’s sizing charts), model measurements, and garment silhouettes to determine your best fit. (And if you’re unsure of what this means for you, let’s explore what that looks like with a complimentary Style Intensive with me! 😉)
- There are pieces included here for everyone! No matter your budget, you are sure to find something that works for you in my guide.
- And most importantly… if you love it, BUY it now! Hot items go fast and may not be available when you return for it later!!
Charge your computers, grab your purse, pull out those wallets, and let’s get ready to shop, ladies!⬇︎ ⬇︎
