Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Must-Haves

It may be little later this year, but our favorite annual sale — the Super Bowl of all sales — is still on like Donkey Kong! (For all you ’80s girls out there. LOL) You can preview the sale items online right now and create a wish list of items in preparation for purchase when the sale goes live, which is dependent on your Nordstrom Rewards level. The Icon members are madly shopping now, Ambassador level is live August 7th, Influencers shop the 10th, Insiders join in the fun on the 13th, and the sale is open to the public on August 19. Shop ’til you drop for all the latest fall looks until the prices go back up on August 31.

It’s a tradition for my daughter and I to go back-to-school shopping at the store and make a special day of it, but with COVID numbers still climbing in Arizona, we’re staying home and shopping online. (Also, is it just me or are you drawn to all the casual, cozy clothes this year?? Must be all the time I’m spending at home these days. My heels and evening bags must think I’ve deserted them….ugh) Okay, here we go! My picks for 2020.

1 | You can’t ever go wrong with a great animal print, and I love the olive green and black combo. Rails Leopard Top (sale $89.90, reg $138)
