It’s here!!! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 is one of the biggest sales of the year (as you probably know by now, especially if you follower other style bloggers) and you can shop as early as today, July 12, depending on your Nordy Club level, and the it opens to the public on July 28th! In case you’re not sure exactly what this sale is, here’s all the deets:
WHAT:
What is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, you ask? It is when they release a ton brand new fall arrivals (in all categories: women’s, men’s, kids, beauty, home decor, etc.) at amazingly marked down prices (click here to preview the sale)! So you basically get to shop the Fall trends at a discount before they’re actually a thing #yesplease. Then on August 9th, prices go back up to normal.
WHO:
If you want to shop the sale early (Early Access starts Monday, July 12th), you need to be a Nordstrom cardholder/Nordy Club member. Depending on your level (how much you spend in a calendar year), you get Early Access to shop the sale on different days. You could also wait until the sale goes public on July 28th, but a lot of items do sell out before then (like within the first couple days of early access)! So if you see something that you like, don’t wait to buy it! Buy what you want (within reason) at the beginning and then you can always return stuff if it doesn’t fit or you change your mind. I’ve missed out on quite a few pieces that I hesitated on!
