Helllllo my ride or die loves! What better to kick off my first blog post in 2 years than one on a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!
If you’re unfamiliar with the NSale, don’t feel bad. Until getting into blogging, I hadn’t heard of it either. It felt crazy to me that I hadn’t because well I’m all about a deal on current trends I love so how could I have been in the dark? I’m still lost on that answer.
But, regardless I have since then found it and shopped it every year since (the past 2 years I shopped it pregnant praying what I purchased would fit after I delivered). I thought I would share how I personally shop the sale in hopes to help you shop and actually enjoy the sale without being overwhelmed.
- Make A Budget
- Make A List of Things You Would Like To Snag
- Don’t Get Overwhelmed and Go Overboard
Making a budget goes a long way to ensure you don’t go overboard. You don’t NEED everything. And remember this sale happens every year with all the fall/winter staples so keep a list you might want to snag for next year. Stick to the budget! You may also want to use this sale to get early Christmas gifts for loved ones, but again.. stick to the budget.
** I have a trick I do to keep myself in check. Items sell out insanely fast (in minutes of going live), and since I, myself, am only a Nordstrom CC holder, I get to shop the sale early, but there are higher Nordstrom status buyers who get ability to shop before myself. My trick is to watch their social medias to see their posts on things they purchased I may have on my list, to see the fit and sizing. I then add details for my checklist to shop those specific things when I first get the green light. I then search for things I had on my list others didn’t share, add those to my cart, then quickly add all the other already detailed things from others to my cart. If that $TOTAL is over budget I quickly go through and remove those things I really CAN life without! Then checkout ASAP to ensure those I do love are still in stock**
Making that List and Checking it Twice: Y’all this is important to keep you and your budget in line. This year I’m looking for sweater, good thermals, possibly a black faux leather biker jacket, and booties. Not too much, and I won’t be doing excessive purchasing like you may see other Influencers. My purchases will be what I think I really need from this sale.
This is SO much in this sale. It’s crazy easy to get swept up in the hype of all the cute styles, and trends feeling the need to buy it all. This will leave you kicking yourself later for doing more damaged than you really needed to. Stick to the above, Budget and List. I promise this will leave you happy you shopped the sale, and not sick at what you spent. If budget is no issue and you want All The Things, although favorites sell out crazy fast, MANY of those favs do come back in stock throughout the duration of the sale. I will be watching for those items, especially if you let me know of something you really want and need me to stock for you 🙂
