Let me tell you a story about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that explains the core of my being. For the first eight years of my life, I lived in Germany with my Expat parents. What does that have to do with the Nordstrom Anniversary sale? Well, every summer my parents would plan our annual trip to visit my grandparents in Seattle around the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. Since then, the sale has become a shopaholic’s dream national holiday and a pivotal part of my personality (and the first seasonal retail job on my resume). I’ve been curating my Nordstrom Anniversary sale picks ever since I was old enough to circle light-up sneakers in the Anniversary sale catalog with a red pen.
Since Seattle is home to the Nordstrom flagship store, which means that the in-store selection is amazing and the competition is fierce. I used to line up hours before the store opened to get first dibs on my favorite items from the catalog (like I said, I’m a fashion writer and I have a shopping problem). Thankfully, online shopping has since developed, and now I’m able to scroll through all 4,000 plus women’s sale picks without ever encountering a line.
It’s the greatest time of year. It’s Christmas in July. It’s the 2022 Nordstrom Anniversary sale and may I just say, this is the most excited I’ve ever been about the selection (yes, I’m even more excited than when I bought a teal Juicy Couture track jacket on sale back in 2009). If you aren’t familiar with the sale, here’s the gist. Nordstrom pulls an Uno-reverse and puts thousands of fall new arrivals on sale. The pieces range from everyday basics like bras, tanks and jeans to designer accessories and home decor. Once the sale is over, all the items get marked up to the full price. Essentially, if you snooze, you lose. The early access preview has just hit Nordstorm’s site and if you’re a Nordstrom credit card holder, you can begin shopping the sale on July 7th before the entire inventory is available to the public on July 15th.
I just hung up a FaceTime call with my (very stylish) mom to evaluate my favorite items from the 2022 sale. This year, I’m excited about the influx of loafers, soft denim, chic blouses and luxury candles. I love that the sale also helps me predict what will be trending this fall. Spoiler alert: scrunchy boots, quilted jackets and fall florals are going to be big next season. Here are my favorite TK pieces that made my shortlist.

Quilted Crest Jacket
I’m clearly into an equestrian theme for fall because I’m obsessed with this quilted Lauren Ralph Lauren jacket. It comes in three colors but I’m partial to the houndstooth.

Tori Tank
This is a sale item that is too good of a deal to pass up. I live in ribbed tank tops all year long and plan on buying multiples of this one for just $11.

Admore Floral Print Smocked Organic Cotton Dress
Baum und Pferdgarten is known for making beautiful dresses (but they are a bit on the pricey side). I’m taking full advantage of this floral number being on sale.

This isn’t a fashion pick but I couldn’t scroll past Supergoop! on sale and leave it off my list! I swear by this glow screen and use it every. single. day.

Meant To Be Floral Cotton Blouse
