Yet another Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has come and gone, and we might still be recovering. This once-a-year sale brings us some of the best deals you’ll find, but boy can it be exhausting! We searched the stores, shopped the sale as soon as we could, and reveled in our purchases while trying not to check our bank accounts. Kristy is sharing what she actually ended up with from this year’s haul. See her NSale purchases below!
How fun is this dress?! From the pretty pattern to the delicate details like the ruffled straps and hemline, this is a dress that keeps on giving! The figure-skimming silhouette makes it flattering for all body types, too. Pair it with sandals for daytime and switch to heels for an evening out.
A pair of distressed jeans is a must-have for every wardrobe. This pair hits the mark with a faded wash, “chewed” hems, and a contoured waistband that hugs the body tight without squeezing!
The flare is back, baby, and we are all for it! This medium wash pair of flare jeans adds length to shorter legs, slims thicker thighs, and gives the booty a nice lifted look! *adds to cart*
Ahhhh, boyfriends. What would we do without them?? They’re laid-back, relaxed, and always flattering – yes, we’re referring to the jeans! These boyfriend jeans will become your new go-to…pair with a casual crewneck sweatshirt and classic sneakers for an effortlessly stylish outfit.
There’s nothing quite like a good pair of leggings for the perfect athleisure look. These Spanx compression leggings are sculpting, slimming, AND sweat-wicking…need we say more? Finish the look with this adorable Zella zip-up jacket and your favorite athletic sneakers.
The sneakers that have taken the internet by storm, and with good reason! These On Cloudswift running shoes have a springy foam sole that provide lift, cushion, and overall comfort to your feet no matter the occasion! Wear them for working out, long days on your feet, or just as a cute everyday shoe – you’re going to love them.
And for an athletic shoe that also makes a statement, these Nike Air Max sneakers will do the trick! Not only are they designed with ultimate comfort in mind, they’re also fashion-forward and the perfect complement to your hottest workout gear.
Show off your street style with these Nike platform sneakers. The pillowy, plush interior makes for a shoe you can wear all day long so you can look good and feel even better!
A good pair of sparkling studs is an essential for your everyday accessory collection. These halo earrings are so eye-catching and honestly, who doesn’t love a bit of extra sparkle?!
Okay – definitely a little bit of a splurge, even with the sale price, but this watch is so sleek and such an elegant accessory! The neutral light gray color makes a great match for just about any outfit, and this is a piece that can be worn casually or dressed up…hooray for versatility!
Sunnies are not just for summer! Protect your pretty peepers all year ’round and add instant style to any outfit with a sleek pair of shades. Quay is one of our favorite sunglasses brands here at Frugal and Thriving, and the Level Up style and It’s My Way style, in both oat and tort black, were much-needed additions to the collection!

#NSale Apparel & Accessories
These ruched bodycon dresses are versatile and can be worn year-round. Dress it up for a night out or dress it down for a backyard picnic, and keep it in your wardrobe well into fall and wear with layers! The dress fits true to size (both are size small).
This crisp white button down worn over a ribbed tank is a clean, classic look. Both items are true size.
This fleece shacket is great for layering! Throw it over a bodycon dress and pair it with sandals for a chilly summer evening or wear it with jeans, a tee, and boots on a cool fall day. It is oversized, so size down for a more fitted look.
This white long sleeve tee paired with these Zella high-waist leggings is a relaxed look for summer or fall! Whether you’re running errands or hanging out and working from home, this outfit has got you covered in the comfy department. Both items run true to size.

She searched, she shopped, she saved. Our leading lady Kristy eagerly took on the #NSale with high hopes for steals on a few new wardrobe staples and she was not disappointed! Check out her wish list, her purchases, and her feedback below.
Tory Burch Crossbody Bag | Tory Burch Earrings | Caslon Short Sleeved T-Shirt | Open Edit Long Sleeved Knit Top | Barefoot Dreams Cardigan (all 3 pictured) | Billabong Sweater | True Body Bralettes | Elemis Cleansing Balm | Zella Leggings | Zella Joggers | Steve Madden Booties | Vans Sneakers (Toddler) | Steve Madden Mules | Vince Camuto Knee High Boots | Adidas Sneakers
Crossbody Bag | Booties | Cardigan | Pocket Leggings
This crossbody bag from Tory Burch is the perfect everyday accessory and makes an adorable finishing touch on an outfit with a light sweater, jeans, and booties. Cute, comfy, and completely versatile, these suede booties from Steve Madden are this season’s must-have footwear. They run true to size – Kristy is wearing a size 6.
A cardigan that’s as cozy as a blanket? Yes please! This cardigan from Barefoot Dreams is Kristy’s new wardrobe staple for the fall. She’s so obsessed, she grabbed one in every color! You can never have too many cardigans and this one is definitely a winner. Cardigan is true to size – she is wearing a size small. Pair it with these pocket leggings for an athleisure look you’ll want to live in. Leggings are true to size – Kristy is wearing a size small. Since these are compression leggings, she does recommend sizing up if you’re going for more of a jogger look.
These mules from Steve Madden can be dressed up or dressed down! Wear them with a business casual outfit for work, or pair them with a sweater and dark jeans for a classy look for a fall outing. Kristy is wearing a size 6.5. She normally wears a size 6 but opted for the 1/2 size larger, as they are pointed toe shoes and she wanted to make sure she had enough room…she says the larger size is a perfect fit so she recommends going the 1/2 size up.
Longsleeve Tee | Joggers | Sneakers
This adorable athleisure outfit is a dream come true for our comfy queens. Perfect for those days of running errands as it gets chillier, or for a lazy Sunday afternoon of relaxing at home, this longsleeve tee/joggers/sneakers combo will be your new favorite go-to outfit. Kristy is wearing a size small top, size small joggers, and size 6 sneakers. All items are true to size, and she recommends wearing a tank under the longsleeve top as it’s a little on the sheer side.
These knee-high boots from Vince Camuto are sleek and stylish. Coupled with skinny jeans and a loose sweater, they will quickly spice up a simple outfit. The boots run true to size – Kristy is wearing a size 6.
This knit sweater from Billabong is lightweight and airy, making it great for layering. Wear it with shorts and flip flops on a warm summer afternoon, or with jeans and canvas sneakers on a cool early fall morning. The sweater runs true to size – Kristy is wearing a size small. She does recommend keeping in mind that it’s more of a cropped look, and pretty see-through, so definitely layer it with a tank.
These bralettes from True & Co. are super soft and smooth. Wear during your daily workout for extra comfortable support or under a t-shirt for an invisible and seamless finish.
These Tory Burch earrings are simple and elegant, and add a touch of class to any outfit. Available in multiple finishes, you can choose the style that suits your go-to metal tone for instant sophistication.
How cute are these Vans skate sneakers for toddlers?! Kristy grabbed a pair for her son. The classic and comfortable shoe is definitely kid-approved.
Kristy swears by this Elemis cleansing balm and was hooked from her first use. The smooth, moisturizing balm is a little on the pricier side, but is coming in at a great price during the #NSale so she had to stock up!!

It’s that time of year again – the time to revamp your wardrobe, update your look book, and season your style. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is almost upon us!! The sale preview begins today, and we’re keeping you up-to-date on this year’s hottest sale items, the shopping schedule, and the in’s and out’s of making the most of this magnificent event. We can’t wait to shop along with you and share some of this year’s best purchases!
The Sale
This once-a-year sale is a shopping event that allows you to save big on new arrivals for the upcoming season. The sale is tiered, and those of you who shop often with Nordstrom throughout the year are given early access to shop the sale. This is Nordstrom’s way of showing a little thanks to their valued customers! Check your NordyClub card status and find out your tier here.
The Schedule
These are some important dates to note:
- July 6th – Sale Preview
- July 12th – Icon Status Early Access
- July 14th – Ambassador Status Early Access
- July 16th – Influencer Status Early Access
- July 28th – Anniversary Sale Open to Everyone
If you aren’t currently eligible for early access, you can apply and get approved for a Nordstrom Card here, and get upgraded to Influencer status!! Right now, you can receive a $60 Bonus Note to use on a future purchase when you make your first purchase the same day you receive your card.
Tips and Tricks
The sale preview is more important than you think!! Use this sneak peek to find items you love and save them to your wish list for easy shopping later (sign up for a free Nordstrom account here to start a wish list). Then check out quickly and effortlessly once you are granted sale access!
It also gives you the opportunity to take inventory of what you already have in your wardrobe, and what new items you’re going to need this fall. Cute booties, jackets, dark jeans, oversized sweaters, and black leggings are some of our favorite autumn essentials. You don’t want to end up with all jackets and no pants (or maybe you do – no judgement here) and this will give you the chance to plan accordingly.
Items will sell out quickly, but new items are constantly being added! Don’t get discouraged – if you happen to miss out on an item you loved, there’s sure to be something else just like it. This is why we highly recommend starting your wish list. It will save you the time of having to browse once the sale starts.
This is a great time to do some gift shopping! With discounts on everything from women’s styles to men’s and kids’ styles, plus home and beauty exclusives, you can cross a lot of holiday shopping off your list during this sale!!

Tips and Tricks
The sale preview is more important than you think!! Use this sneak peek to find items you love and save them to your wish list for easy shopping later (sign up for a free Nordstrom account here to start a wish list). Then check out quickly and effortlessly once you are granted sale access!
It also gives you the opportunity to take inventory of what you already have in your wardrobe, and what new items you’re going to need this fall. Cute booties, jackets, dark jeans, oversized sweaters, and black leggings are some of our favorite autumn essentials. You don’t want to end up with all jackets and no pants (or maybe you do – no judgement here) and this will give you the chance to plan accordingly.
Items will sell out quickly, but new items are constantly being added! Don’t get discouraged – if you happen to miss out on an item you loved, there’s sure to be something else just like it. This is why we highly recommend starting your wish list. It will save you the time of having to browse once the sale starts.
This is a great time to do some gift shopping! With discounts on everything from women’s styles to men’s and kids’ styles, plus home and beauty exclusives, you can cross a lot of holiday shopping off your list during this sale!!
The Brands
This sale is serious. We’re talking big savings on some of the best brands like: Dyson, Urban Outfitters, Nike, Barefoot Dreams, Steve Madden, and SO MANY MORE. Don’t miss out on shopping your favorite brands. Remember – take advantage of the sale preview that begins today and start adding those coveted items to your wish list!
