EARLY ACCESS: NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE

Striped Shirt, Floral skirt and Sole Society tote bag

I talk about it every year, but the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (early access for card holders began yesterday and the sale opens to everyone on July 22nd) is truly my favorite sale of the year because it offers major discounts on all the new Fall products before the season starts (instead of discounts on say, bathing suits at the end of August that you’ll have to wait another year to wear).

With that in mind, each year I try to strategically think about the key pieces that are on my wish list for the season ahead as well as a few trendier pieces that I know will be ‘must haves’ and scoop them up during the sale. Plus, aside from Fall pieces is an awesome time to score a deal on that designer bag or sunglasses you’ve been eyeing (this pair in particular has been on my ‘lust-list’ for awhile), quality athletic wear, and amazing beauty buys (how gorgeous are these colors?!).

So if you’re a card holder like me then game on. And if not, now is the time to do some browsing so you can be ready to grab things when the sale opens to the public – because things sell out quickly at that point!

SHOP MY FAVORITE COMBOS BELOW:

Flared overalls (trust me on these) with sneakers, a ribbed sweater and ‘greige’ tote (perfect for weekend road trips)

Snakeskin and suede crossbody bag, wrap skirt and metallic oxfords (I’d wear this to go from desk to drinks)

Striped button down, pinafore romper, duster coat and lace-up heels (obsessed with a dusty rose and burgundy color combo for late Summer/early Fall)

Wool beret, floral slipdress, embossed leather bag and suede over the knee boots (has a kind of Parisian meets 90s feel)

Quilted bomber jacket, denim mini skirt and rain boots (almost too cute to save for a rainy day)

*I’ll be sharing exactly what I’m picking up once I hit ‘checkout’ plus more of my top picks throughout the sale!
