Are you a Nordstrom cardholder? Then perhaps you got this little gem in the mail last week…the NSale is coming!!!!
It’s our favorite shopping event of the year — the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! The 2023 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (or NSale) isn’t like other sales; it’s not the leftover, picked over, no-one-wants-it stuff that they’re clearing out to make room for next season. It’s NEW fall and winter merchandise that is magically marked down so you can update your closet at a significant discount. The NSale is an opportunity to save big on brand-new arrivals, re-stock your favorite must-haves, get a head start on Christmas gifts, or finally buy that designer label you’ve been eyeing up.
When is the 2023 Anniversary Sale?
The online preview begins July 3 for everyone, regardless of your cardholder status.
Shopping begins as early as July 11 for Icons, July 12 for Ambassadors, and July 13 for Influencers. The sale is open to everyone for shopping beginning July 17. You can find your status by logging into your account on the Nordstrom site.
Pro tip: Shopping starts at 12:01 EST on the day you’re eligible . Set your alarm or stay up late (whichever way you roll).
Do I Need a Nordstrom Credit Card?
No. But if you apply for one now, you’ll get earlier access to the sale. Visit the Nordstrom site for details. Plus, there are so many other benefits to having a Nordstrom card — rewards, free alterations (up to $300 depending on your level) and two day shipping (when available).
What’s Included in the 2023 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
This is the time to stock up on jeans, sweaters, socks, underwear or your favorite Zella leggings. Grab a new pair of boots and leather jacket (both are always big NSale items!). Or get a new designer piece for a fraction of the price. The sale includes clothing (fall and winter) for the whole family, as well as home decor, beauty products and accessories. We always stock up on their quick dry towels and candles.
Nordstrom is offering 100 new brands this year, including Open Edit, Farm Rio, Proenza Schouler and more!
What’s the Best Way to Get Started?
During the preview days starting July 3, start by building a Wish List on the Nordstrom site. You know all the items roped off and covered in the Nordstrom stores? You can see them all in the online preview! Browse online and save all the items that interest you to a Nordstrom Wish List. Once the sale begins, just access your wish list, add items right into your cart and check out quickly, while supplies last.
Also, sign up for emails from Nordstrom so you don’t miss anything!
Do You Have Any Shopping Tips for Me?
When you’re building your wish list, compare it to what’s in your closet. What do you have already and what do you really need? Are there regular items you should stock up on? Does your favorite black cashmere sweater have moth holes? Are your sneakers worn too thin or out of style? Been dreaming of a leather jacket to update your fall/winter wardrobe? Need new bras and panties? Make a list so you’re less likely to be sucked into buying things you don’t need or won’t wear.
Pro tips: Keep items in your wish list even if they are no longer available, because returns happen and you may score that amazing designer sweater later in the sale.
The NSale is a great time to buy gifts — keep that in mind as you are shopping. It’s also a great time to save on designer labels, especially jeans, coats, jackets and shoes! Go ahead and splurge knowing you are saving a lot of money! You can also use this time to stock up on your favorites at a big discount.
