How to stay sane while shopping the Nordstrom Sale and $500 Giveaway!

Listen, I get it!

Everywhere you look, all everyone is talking about is the Nordstrom Sale, and this year it’s no different. It might be pushed back a few weeks, but it’s still happening. And everyone is talking about it. The sale opens August 7th for early access, and then it opens to the public the 13th-30th of August.

In years past, I’ve always gone full out and kind of followed other bloggers to see what they are shopping, and what finds they found that I didn’t. I’ve also discovered quite a few new brands through this sale, which I love, adore, and wear daily -> TopShop, Spanx, Zella, and BP to name a few.

However, this year is way different.

I’m still going to be shopping and covering the sale to share some of my favorite finds, but it won’t be like a fire hydrant spraying out everything! It’s going to be very specific to things I’m personally shopping, brands I adore, and tried and true staples for my closet. Pieces I think are staples for everyone, regardless if it’s for today or 3 years down the road. Clothes are necessary, but collecting as many as you can of sweaters, jeans, leggings, and dresses can put a serious strain on so many areas of your life!

If you want to live more intentionally, I will be writing a blog post on that soon.

Ok, so back to it. I should let you know, as usual, there’s affiliate links in here and if you so choose to purchase with them, I get a small commission and do a happy dance 🙂 And it also keeps my hubby happy that I’m spending time shopping for y’all instead of simply shopping for myself! But I digress….again.

I’ve noticed every year, I see other bloggers covering the Nordstrom Sale that live in places where cold happens so much sooner than in the desert. Because of this, I always want to buy the same super thick things they buy. Yet, I never wear them, until like December here 🙁 And because this isn’t specifically a Nordstrom blog dedicated to only them, I sometimes struggle to get it right. So I will try my best!

I should also let you know, I’ve teamed up with some other blogger friends to gift two people $500 to shop the Nordstrom sale in whatever way they see fit! Here are the details on that!

First thing I will say I’m shopping for is Spanx leggings and workout wear.

If you’ve been following my stories on IG or even on TikTok, you know I have been loving my workout wear! The next thing I want to snag up is clothes and shoes for the girls. They are seriously growing like weeds right now. And if I can get them something on sale, and it still be super cute, I’m all about it!

I will then follow these with Shoes and boots for me. I dig Sam Edelman and every year. They have such a great selection! Dresses are a big item on my list, always. It’s so hot here until at least October early November and even thinking about jeans or a sweater in public makes me sweat now! BP always has the most comfy and affordable white tees that I layer all year long. So those are probably one of my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale hidden gems.

This year, as I’m furnishing 3 homes, (our personal home, and then our 2 Airbnbs/VRBOs). I’m thinking about home decor. I love how soft and luxurious feeling the towels are from Nordstrom. And they last so long! I haven’t really ever shopped for home decor and home items, and this was supposed to be a fashion blog for the Nordstrom sale, oops!

So, you will see lots of giveaways, lots of photos with things people are buying, and I wanted to wrap with this. Even if you see all of these things, take the ideas, and see how the items would fit into your life and closet. If they are pieces you don’t think you would wear or that would just sit in your closet, save your money.

Here’s a few things I’ve added to my wish list which I plan to grab.

If you plan to shop, you can also make a wish list so you can save what you think you’d want, and by the time the sale arrives, you can decide if you still want it or not.
