The biggest shopping event of the year is almost here! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of the few sales where you can shop brand-new fall arrivals before the season even starts—and they’re actually marked down before going back to full price. It’s the perfect time to invest in pieces you’ll wear for years instead of waiting until fall when everything returns to full price.
Whether you’re planning to refresh your fall wardrobe, replace a few everyday staples, or finally splurge on that investment piece you’ve had your eye on, this is the sale to do it. Rather than filling our carts with trendy pieces, we always try to focus on classic styles that work season after season. Those are the purchases we never regret.

Where to Start
If you’re wondering where to begin, focus on the pieces you’ll truly wear the most. Jeans, boots, sweaters, jackets, handbags, and everyday dresses are usually where you’ll get the biggest return on your investment. One of our favorite ways to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is by filling the gaps in our closet with timeless basics instead of impulse buys.
These are the pieces we’re personally hoping to grab this year.
Nothing gets us excited for fall quite like sweater weather. These are the pieces we throw on with denim, trousers, or layered over dresses all season long. They’re cozy without feeling bulky, and they’re classic enough that they’ll never look dated.
We always make room in our budget for a few great bottoms. A pair of jeans you’ll wear every weekend, polished pants for everyday, or comfortable lounge pants you can live in at home are the kinds of purchases that keep paying off long after the sale ends. These are the pieces we know we’ll reach for again and again.
We love buying dresses during the Anniversary Sale because they’re so easy to wear now with sandals and later with boots and a jacket. Whether it’s for church, work, family photos, or dinner out, these are the kinds of dresses that stay in your closet for years instead of just one season.
Outerwear is one of our favorite categories to shop during the Anniversary Sale because quality jackets rarely go on sale this early in the season. Whether it’s a timeless Barbour jacket, a lightweight everyday layer, or a beautiful wool coat, these are the kinds of pieces that instantly pull an outfit together.
A beautiful pair of flats or slingbacks can completely change an outfit. We always look for versatile styles that work with dresses, denim, and trousers, so we know we’ll reach for them over and over again. Rich suede and neutral colors are always a yes for fall.
Sometimes it’s the accessories that make the biggest difference. A beautiful leather tote, a classic belt, or a silk scarf can instantly make your outfits feel more polished without having to buy an entirely new wardrobe. These are the little pieces that get used almost every single day.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale always goes by faster than we expect, and the best pieces tend to sell out quickly—especially the classics. If you’ve been thinking about investing in quality fall staples, this is the perfect opportunity to grab them before prices go back up.
We’ll be sharing even more favorites once the sale officially opens, but these are the pieces sitting at the top of our wish list right now. Happy shopping, and we hope you find a few forever favorites too! 🤍 Want to learn more about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? Check out our blog HERE!
Stay stylish,
