Oh happy day!!! The wait is finally over… this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is LIVE! Granted just a few can shop the Early Access Sale items today (Icon level cardholders, you lucky ducks), but we can all add to our Wish Lists!
True, it’s a little crazy to think about Fall clothes in the middle of a piping-hot Summer, but here’s the deal… this is not an end-of-season sale! It’s all the cute, NEW stuff coming out next season, but marked down for a short time! Once the Anniversary Sale is over, the prices will go back up (assuming they aren’t sold out).
I tend to look for closet staples and quality pieces that will be the foundation of my wardrobe for years to come, as well as stock up on products and items I use and wear year-round. There are literally 1000s of brand new products in this year’s #NSale, and they’ll be up to 40% off for a short time. (See my Top 12 Essentials HERE.)
The NSale can be a little overwhelming (#understatement), so hopefully today’s post is useful in helping you navigate this epic event, and focus on the items that will bring the most value to your closet. I’ve spent the last week pouring over every single one of them, and have rounded up my top picks in every category, starting with Women.
Sugarplum Shopping Tip: If you’re not an Icon member able to shop today, you can use today’s post as a look book to save your favorites to your Wish List for when your shopping day arrives! If my posts have been helpful and you’d like to ensure I receive credit, simply click HERE prior to checking out in the same browser window it opens. I appreciate y’all so much!

Sugarplum Essentials | My Top Picks
Your Top Sellers of 2021
I’m building a wish list. I’d love to save all of this and do an in-store try-on and only keep what I love. Do I do that by ordering for pick up, and then trying on in-store? Looking for your tips here.
Also, the DKNY seamless shaping cami, does that require a bra underneath or is it enough on it’s own?
Always love checking out your picks.
Hi Patricia! If you’re going to place an online order, then there’s no reason to try it on in-store! May as well do that in your own home! If you DO want to visit a store in-person, you could either shop what they have stocked then purchase what you want, or maybe have them place an online order for you for the things that they don’t have in stock. Hope that helps!
As for the camisole, the description doesn’t say anything about having a built-in shelf bra, so I’m assuming you’ll need a separate bra for support! xo, C
Thanks Cassie!
I saved several of your selections in my wish list! I get to shop on Friday! 🙂
Woo hoo, thank you Kathy!!! Be sure to check out my Friday post before you shop… it’s my big Dressing Room Diaries of the sale! xo, C
The link for dress #3 isn’t correct, links to a different dress….
Oh shoot! It’s actually the correct link, but the pattern that I included in the collage has already sold out! Dangit! xo, C
It’s a different dress and not sold out https://www.nordstrom.com/s/diagonal-print-chiffon-shirtdress/6857740?origin=category-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FAnniversary%20Sale%2FWomen%2FClothing%2FDresses&color=188
Well sheesh!!! Thank you for doing the digging! The link to this dress that I saved a few days ago was taking us to the wrong dress, but it was working before the post went live! So strange. xoxo
