If you are a Nordstrom cardholder and Icon or Ambassador status, then you can access the sale starting today before the public sale starts on July 19th. A lot of things sell out quickly so it’s been worth it for me to have a Nordstrom card! (Mr. S made me close it 2 years ago and I reopened my account before the sale! LOL!)
Here are some dates to keep in mind:
Shop the sale EARLY if you have a Nordstrom card. You can apply here.
July 11 // Icon and Ambassador Level early access online starting at 11:30 CST.
July 12-18 // Early Access in stores and online.
July 19-August 4 // Sale opens to the public.
So let’s get started on the fun part! Of course, I ran into Heather and Cathy and then Natalie later on!! We always have so much fun together!
I was late getting to the store at 9:30am and certain things were already out of my size! (It’s literally that crazy and frantic!) However, I did find some cute pieces and styled some outfits for you! I’m sharing/noting any details about size and quality separated into sections – styled outfits, random pieces (over my clothes), shoes, and sunglasses!
Also, you can hop over to my Instagram and check out my stories tomorrow morning for some style tips! And you can check out my favorites on my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks Page!

Leith Pink Snakeskin Duster in XXS $52.90 (after sale $89) – runs large so size down and LOVE how it draped, Topshop Dress in size 6 $35.90 (after sale $55) – a little big and I cinched with belt tie but very thin material and clings (you can see my strapless bra line)

Madewell striped cardigan in size S $64.90 (after sale $98) – love the muted colors on this cardigan which could take you into Spring
Halogen Teddy coat in size S $99.90 (after sale $149) – to say that I’m obsessed with fur coats is an understatement! LOL! This is another good one!
Chelsea28 pleated metallic skirt in size XS $58.90 (after sale $89) – couldn’t resist trying this on bc it’s metallic AND pink! I think it’s so cute and can be worn with a tee!

I feel like things are always crazy in Summer, and I’m trying to keep up with all the kids’ activities and rescheduling for other people’s and our vacation!
Speaking of vacation, we are headed to Manhattan Beach, CA at the end of the month! If you have any suggestions, then please let me know! The kids are super excited and scared about the cold water and “sharks”! LOL! :)

Thank you Mica! ???? Yes I went to the sale for the dressing room diaries but only got stuff for the kids! I’m on that Slow Fashion Season clothing challenge so nothing new for 3 months! ???? I used my gift card right before it started so I wouldn’t be tempted (since you reminded me of the GC)!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! ????
