Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020
Ahhhh, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. A craze that suddenly fills your Instagram feed with bloggers and shopaholics sharing faux fur coats, chunky sweaters, and suede boots in the DEAD of summer. I've only been shopping the N-Sale for the past two years, and I have to be honest, it's a little anxiety inducing. It's completely counterintuitive to be buying fall/winter items when temps will remain in the 80s (at least in Tennessee) well into October. And, like I said last year, "I hate that the power of influence makes you feel like you're missing out if you don't buy seventeen cowl neck sweaters just to put them away in your closet until December."

Topshop flare legs jeans were an N-Sale purchase from 2018.
Also, took this photo in August. V Sweaty here. 😰

| Steve Madden OTK boots were also a 2018 purchase. Worn these babies a lot! New version out this year. |
 |
| Finally jumped on the Spanx leggings bandwagon last year. I like to wear them with oversized sweaters and boots or make them more "athlesiure" by wearing them with sneakers, a tunic, and vest. |
Even at the sale prices, I still find most N-Sale items I'm interested in to be splurges, so I plan on sticking to some advice I heard last year: To avoid overspending, feeling overwhelmed and wondering why the heck you bought so much stuff you truly don't need, focus on only purchasing two to three items you are really loving. And remember, nothing from the N-Sale is worth going into debt over!!! I cannot stress enough that most items you see in the N-Sale will be similarly recreated at cheaper prices by other retailers later in the season.
Last year I only bought two things and ended up returning one. The year before, I bought two items as well. While I've scoured the entire Sale Preview online, I plan on only purchasing the following pieces this year.
1. Barefoot Dreams Cardigan - $67 / Originally $114
I wanted to buy a Barefoot Dreams cardi lsat year, but I'm glad I didn't. I wasn't totally sold on the style of last year's versions (not to mention the high price tag). Like the Spanx faux leather leggings that I purchased last year, I'm honestly just interested to see if this sweater lives up to the hype. *Side note: the Spanx leggings were a hit.
2. Patagonia Vest - $70 / Originally $100
I LOVE a good vest situation in the winter months. If you have any winter/holiday sightseeing plans, a nice vest is the way to go in my opinion. *Taking a moment to weep over the fact that we aren't going to NYC in December like we hoped.*
3. Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Color Trio - $58 / Originally $87
If I do end up purchasing these, it will be the first time I've ever bought anything other than clothes from the Nordstrom Sale. The N-Sale offers several discounted handbags, accessories, make up products, and home goods. Fellow Cookeville local and beauty blogger, Shelbey Wilson (whose videos have greatly improved my limited make up skills), raves about the Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks. I'm excited to try out this trio!
A Few More Tips
As they do every year, Nordstrom credit card holders have the opportunity to shop the Anniversary Sale first. Your cardholder status (Icon, Ambassador, Influencer, or Insider) determines the dates when you're allowed to shop. To all of those who don't plan on paying with a Nordstrom Card (🙋), Public Access to the sale begins on August 19th and goes until August 30th.
Historically, Nordstrom restocks some items that have sold out during Early Access. However, this cannot be guaranteed. Again, I'm not telling you to sign up for a Nordstrom Card by any means. Remember, if what you want doesn't get restocked, it probably wasn't meant to be! And, you will most likely find something similar later in the season.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019
The N-Sale is baaaaaack! And if I'm being honest, I hate it just as much as I love it. Like every shopaholic, I love a good sale, and the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is a great time to snag some splurge worthy items since the prices are majorly discounted. However, I kind of hate the exclusivity of the Nordstrom sale. I hate that tons of things sell out before public access starts (with no guarantees that they'll be restocked). I hate that your Instagram feed is filled with bloggers in over the knee boots IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY. I hate that the power of influence makes you feel like you're missing out if you don't buy seventeen cowl neck sweaters just to put them away in your closet until December.
So needless to say, very mixed emotions over here. 😂
I really wasn't even going to do a Nordstrom Sale blog post because according to a recent poll, most of you all aren't even planning on shopping it. But, after browsing through the sale items, there are in a fact a few things I want to buy when the sale opens to the public (fingers cross that they're still available), and I wanted to share them with you.
*Side Note: Fret not if the things you like at the Nordstrom sale sell out. I guarantee that there will be tons of similar (and cheaper) options available at other retailers when it's actually fall later in the season. *
Here are just a few things that caught my eye this year.
Everything you see below, plus some other great pieces are also linked on my N-Sale Picks Page.

However, after all of my shopping, I really only plan on buying a few things, three to be exact.
Keep scrolling to check them out!
I'm absolutely in love with these boots, but these are what I'm most hesitant to buy. The sale price is still $160, and that is a splurge for me. Especially since I bought a similar pair at Target last year for $40. Still thinking about it though because they truly would go with just about everything this fall and winter. They also come in black and a FIRE snakeskin print.
Ok, so Barefoot Dreams cardigans are all the rage because apparently they're super soft and cozy. There are a few styles available in this year's sale, but this one was my favorite. They also have blankets too which would make great gifts (OMG what if you got all of your Christmas shopping done in July? How awesome would that be?!). Anyway, hoping to snag one of these softies this year to see if they live up to the hype.
Speaking of hype....
These leggings were something I didn't purchase last year and then instantly regretted it. Seeing as I live in some form of leggings all winter long, I'm not really sure why I didn't jump on the chance to get a faux leather version.
*I tried a $15 pair from Amazon last year, and they were an ULTIMATE fail. 😂😂*
Again, I'm planning on buying these Spanx leggings this year to see if they're really as great as everyone says.

So, that's it! I only plan on buying 3 things.
While I love all of the cowl neck sweaters, cardigans, coats, and boots that are available, I know I can find similar options at a better price later in the season.
Are you shopping the Nordstrom Sale this year? Have you shopped it in the past? What are/have been your favorite pieces?
