Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Favorites (After Covering the Sale for 10 Years)

If you've been here for a while, you know this is one of my favorite posts to write each year.

I've been covering the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for over 10 years, and somewhere along the way, my approach completely changed.

In the beginning, I wanted to share everything. Every page. Every deal. Every find.

Now? I only share what I genuinely love.

After a decade of shopping this sale, I've learned that the best purchase isn't always the biggest discount—it's the piece you'll still be reaching for five years from now.

You'll notice I'm passing on trendy items that don't fit my lifestyle and focusing instead on timeless staples I wear on repeat. Pieces that work whether I'm heading to a coffee meeting, church, date night with Reid, or cheering on my kids.

If I wouldn't spend my own money on it, you won't find it here.

What Made My List This Year

These are the pieces that earned a spot in my cart because I know I'll actually wear them.

  • Classic denim that fits beautifully and works season after season.

  • Elevated basics that make getting dressed effortless.

  • Cozy knitwear I'll live in the minute temperatures drop.

  • Shoes that are both stylish and comfortable enough for everyday life.

  • Investment accessories that instantly elevate simple outfits.

What I Skip Every Year

One thing ten years has taught me?

You don't need twenty new outfits.

The sale can feel overwhelming, but I've found that buying fewer, better pieces always wins. I ask myself one question before purchasing anything:

Will I still be excited to wear this next year?

If the answer is no, it stays in my cart.

My Shopping Philosophy

Life has looked different over the past couple of years.

Walking through Reid's cancer journey has reminded me how little joy comes from accumulating more things, and how much joy comes from being present.

I still love beautiful clothing. I always will.

But these days I'm looking for pieces that help me enjoy my everyday life, not simply fill a closet.

Timeless over trendy.

Quality over quantity.

Pieces that serve me well instead of asking me to constantly chase what's next.

It means so much that you come back each July and allow me to help you sort through thousands of products to find the ones truly worth your investment.

As always, I'm sharing only the best, only what I personally love, and only what I would recommend to my closest friends.
