Early access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020 is now open! Every year I pull together a curated edit of my top picks to help you cut through the noise as there are literally thousands of items on sale.
If you don’t know what the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is, it’s basically a chance to get a head start on shopping for your autumn/winter wardrobe… on sale. Something which I think is very appealing if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, and starting to think about what your wardrobe might be missing for the season ahead. I talk a lot about my 30 day shopping rule, but this is one sale I’ll make an exception for.
The strategy I’ve shared in years previous is to shop now and make returns later. This gives you the opportunity to try everything on in the comfort of your own home, and see how the items will pair with your existing wardrobe. Asking yourself a few key questions can go a long way in making the perfect purchase. Can you make at least five outfits with each piece you’re considering? Is it a timeless style you will wear beyond the current season? Does the colour complement or match your wardrobe’s colour palette?
KEY DATES TO REMEMBER
Early access to the sale has already begun. Depending on your Nordy Club membership level, you’ll have a chance to snap up those items on your wishlist before it opens up to the general public on August 19. There’s a tiered system depending on your level, so I’ve dropped an infographic below which outlines the key dates of the sale.
MY NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE PICKS
Finally let’s round out this post with my favourite picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020. One thing I really wanted to do this year was cut the noise and go for timeless staples which were practical. Especially as many of us are currently working from home. Safe to say there’s a focus on cosy knitwear, and smart but relaxed separates that you can happily wear during your next office zoom meetup.

ACCESSORIES
Love your sale picks! I’ve been craving cosy knitwear too, these Melbourne winters can be harsh! I’ve never shopped through Nordstrom before, as I had always assumed it was only for American customers (as I am an Aussie, like you!). How are the delivery fees and returns like for Australian customers? (couldn’t seem to find this info easily on their website)
I am also the queen of “shop now, return later”. I love ordering multiple sizes to check best fit and it’s nice to be able to see how the pieces fit in my existing wardrobe, like you mentioned. Sometimes I’d only keep 1-2 items from an online haul of 10 pieces but at least I’m really happy with the pieces I’ve decided to keep 🙂
