NSale Purchases: The Good & The Bad

However, the majority of the few items I ordered were pretty good. Here is a recap of my NSale Purchases: The Good & The Bad.

2021 NSale

It’s that time of the year: The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Whether you hate it or love it, there is no denying it is one of the biggest pre-season sales of the year. Today I am sharing what’s in my cart and my thoughts on the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Also, at the end, I am sharing products I have purchased in the past that are included in the sale that I would re-purchase.

What’s in My Cart

First, let’s take a look at what’s in my cart. I will get into more details later, but to summarize, not much. I was underwhelmed with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. And honestly, I have been for the past few years. These are a few basic pieces that are in my cart this year:

Leopard Pajamas: I buy these pajamas every sale. I think I am up to six pairs! But these are the only pajamas I wear because they are beyond comfortable. Nordstrom suggests to size down, but I stick with my true size. I like my pajamas on the bigger side.

Pink Slippers: Another purchase that I make each Anniversary Sale. I am still wearing my pink slippers from the last sale. And since I am still working from home, they get a lot more use than years past!

High Waist Ankle Leggings: For the last few years, I have purchased a pair of Zella workout leggings from the sale and they never disappoint! I buy my usual size in these and I love the high waist style for working out.

Blue Sports Bra: I have shared IVL workout pieces a few times here on ABM, but this sports bra style is my favorite! I have it in a few colors, but I love this blue shade. And you can’t beat the Anniversary Sale price. This sports bra runs true to size.

Crystal Embellished Boots: I have been looking for combat-style boots since last fall and I love this particular style. It’s a little combat but a little glam with the crystal details! They would look cute with leggings and an oversized sweater once the temperatures cool down in the fall.

Thoughts on the NSale

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale was always one of my favorite sales of the season. However, the past few years I have been a little underwhelmed. But last year, was just upsetting! The selection was ok, but by the time I was able to shop the sale (since the sale is released to different “tiers” of Nordstrom customers depending on how much you spend in a year) most of what I wanted was sold out. I understand creating “demand” for an item, but when the majority of your wish list is sold out, it becomes frustrating.

Looking at the sale this year, I can honestly say there isn’t much I love. The products I included above are the only items in my shopping cart this year. A super light order for me. Just ask Richard HAHA! I’m not sure if it’s the selection or because I’m still working from home (or a combination of both), but there wasn’t a great selection this year. What are your thoughts?

Items I Would Repurchase

There are a few products that I already have that are included in the Anniversary Sale. Here is a list of a few of them. Scroll through for the complete list:

Thanks for stopping by, friends! Have a great rest of the week!

My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Shopping List

my nordstrom anniversary sale shopping listWith the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale only a few days away for Nordstrom cardholders, today I wanted to share what is on my shopping list. I understand that this sale can be overwhelming (and over talked about) so I thought it would be helpful to structure this year’s posts in a different format. While I will be sharing a round-up of pieces on Friday (the sale starts at 12:30 p.m. EST this Friday for cardholders) and a review of the purchases I ultimately make (good, bad and ugly style like in last year’s post HERE), that will probably the extent of my coverage. As much as I love fall clothes and cannot wait for fall temperatures, I still have a few summer outfits I want to share with you. Because let’s face it, it is still mid-July!

With the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale wrapping up this weekend, I have one more sale related post for you! Mainly because these were the last few things that I had ordered during Early Access that hadn’t arrived prior to the photographing of my good, bad and ugly post (see it here). After pulling all the images, I noticed a common theme: all the pieces were cozy and comfortable sale finds! From dressed up to casual and even some activewear, here is a final sale round-up of cozy and comfortable finds.
