Nordstrom Anniversary Sale - Public Access Top Picks

Smart Southern Style

Public Access of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins today (midnight PT on July 28)! The sale is now open to everyone, including those without a Nordstrom card. I have rounded up some of my top picks from the sale that are still in stock. Keep in mind that inventory changes quickly, so an item may be out of stock by the time you read this post.

My number one suggestion for shopping this sale is not to wait if you see something you really like! Go ahead and check out rather than just adding the item to your cart. Shipping and returns are free so this way you won’t risk it selling out while it is in your cart. (Trust me, I’ve learned this the hard way!) My second suggestion is an obvious one, but I’ll say it anyways…just because it’s on sale doesn’t mean it is a great deal and/or you need it! I always think through how much I will wear something before buying it, because if an item sits in my closet unworn, it doesn't matter how good of a deal it was. I buy items during this sale that usually don’t get marked down such as denim, undergarments, fall shoes and PJs.

RIBBED HOODED SWEATER - True to size. Comes in a few other colors.

WIT AND WISDOM DISTRESSED JEANS - True to size. There is elastic inside the waistband of all Wit and Wisdom jeans for a comfortable fit.

DOLCE VITA SUEDE BOOTIES - True to size. Very comfortable and come in several colors. Love the studded detail!

KENDRA SCOTT HEART EARRINGS - Come in silver and gold. Such a fun twist on a hoop earring!

HOODED KNIT DRESS (styled 2 ways) - True to size. Size up for a more relaxed fit.

BLACK BELT - True to size. The belt has elastic so it is comfortable and a nice fit.

VINCE CAMUTO KNEE HIGH BOOTS - Size up if in between sizes. Slightly narrow across the toes.

P448 SNEAKERS (similar).- True to size. Love these sneakers but they are definitely a splurge. Link to a similar less expensive sneaker HERE.

UGG SLIPPERS - True to size. So comfy and come in several colors.

I also bought these LONG SLEEVE PAJAMAS and these SHORT PAJAMAS. I sized up in both. These PJs are one of the items I buy every year during the sale. They wash well and are so soft.

UNDERGARMENTS: I always stock up on bras and undies during this sale because they rarely are marked down. This UNDERWEAR is the only kind I wear. They are very comfortable and run true to size. I bought 2 EVERYDAY BRAS linked HERE and HERE that are comfortable while providing great support. My go-to STRAPLESS BRA is also part of the sale, so if you need one, I highly recommend it.
