My Top Picks by Category for the NSALE

It’s that time of year again. You know, when it is 115 degrees outside and women all over the country go nuts buying sweaters and boots. Yep, I’m talking about NSALE, more commonly known as the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

I’ll fully admit that the NSALE isn’t my favorite sale of the year. A big part of it has to do with the fact I can’t wear sweaters and boots in Scottsdale until at least October or November. I also hate all the different shopping dates. I get it that the sale is meant to reward the Nordstrom cardholders that spend lots of $$$. However, it is flat out frustrating to spent weeks previewing the sale items, only to have them sell out before my shopping window arrives. But I’m clearly not the one who makes up the rules here, so let’s just go with it.

Here are the key shopping dates we all should know regarding the sale. I’m an influencer (based on Nordy’s terms, it has nothing to do with my role as a blogger) so I’ll be shopping on Friday the 16th. The sale opens to everyone on July 28.

I spent wayyy too long going through the NSALE preview and really do genuinely love a lot of items included in the sale.I usually try to focus on basics, beauty items or workout clothes I can wear year-round. I broke down my top picks by category below. Happy shopping!!
