There are a lot of strategies for shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Some people take it as an opportunity to try something new, but I see it as the chance to stock up on items I’ve already tried and loved, or at the very least I imagine will make my life significantly easier. Here are seven of those items.
Shop My Favorite Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Finds
Nikki Ogunnaike and Nicole Martine Chapoteau.
If you’re like me and have a habit of shopping and treating yourself to little treats while you’re traveling, I highly recommend packing this expandable Longchamp bag just in case luggage overage charges may be on the horizon.
I have 12 piercings spread across my two ears and tiny diamond hoops are always a part of my earscape. Low lift, high impact styling.
Big pants and a tiny top has become my M.O. for weekends and nights out with friends. I’d pair these jeans with a tube top or spaghetti strap tank for a full early aughts inspired look.
Socks are simply an item I don’t love spending a ton of money on. But I’ve loved Bombas since they launched years and years ago and wear them on a daily basis and also for working out, so these are worth it. They’re incredibly comfortable and I never get blisters while wearing them.
I have fairly sensitive eyes so I’m rarely without a pair of sunglasses. These Kate Spade New York options look designer but aren’t so expensive that I’d be gutted if I lost them.
