My 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks

Sharing my 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks in today’s blog post. I’m giving you variety, versatility and most importantly – what’s practical for the right price point.

You allllll know how much I love Nordstrom. I think the department store gets a lot of backlash from some of my friends in the Midwest because it seems too high-end. I’d actually compare Nordstrom to Dillards – it’s an incredible department store with a wide variety of price points, and the quality is unbeatable.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale happens once a year in July. Unlike most “sales”, Nordstrom puts brand new items on markdown for a month and then brings the prices back up – AKA this is a great opportunity to get on-trend pieces for fall, basics for your closet or a designer splurge for less.

The sale went live today (if you hadn’t heard!) and is available to those who have a Nordstrom Card. Early Access with your Nordstrom Card allows you to have first pick of all items on sale before the general public. You can shop the full sale on July 20th if you aren’t a card holder! 

I went through the entire sale for you! I wanted to find pieces that are versatile, affordable and brands I love.

Sweaters

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a great time to get fall sweaters. I am OBSESSED with this long cardigan and it looks so cozy for winter. I also saw this long wrap cardigan and added it to my wishlist. I love how flowy it is without being bulky. Lastly, in 2017 I purchased a v-neck sweater I’ve worn hundreds of times, and when I saw the price for this mustard-colored piece ($31.90), it went to the top of my list. 

Accessories

I also think this sale is a great time to purchase Christmas gifts (lol it’s July, I know). You can’t go wrong snagging a pair of Kendra Scott earrings for a good deal! I also loved this scarf because the colors weren’t too fall-like. The Longchamp Le Pilage Tote is timeless, and I’m sure you’ve seen me carry my black one!

Shoes

I picked out two pairs of pointed toe mules – leopard and black – perfect for transitioning into fall and classic colors. I wear my current pair almost 3x a week to work.

Beauty

I raved about wanting the Drybar Curling Wand in this post, and the time has finally come where it’s on sale! I am obsessed with the wand size and position (the end is wider for more natural curls).

The anniversary sale also includes my favorite foundation brush and Kate Somerville’s Exfolikate, which I could never afford before 😉

Happy Shopping! Let me know if anything caught your eye or how your purchases go!
