The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is almost here, and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve covered this massive event on the blog the past two years and even became a Nordstrom card member so I could shop early—because the savings are worth it. Cardholder early access starts July 13th, and the sale becomes available to everyone on July 21st. Here’s a concise guide to help you take full advantage of the sale and a roundup of outfits I’ve been wearing lately that are perfect for summer.

If you don’t already have a Nordstrom card, I highly recommend signing up so you can shop as soon as early access begins. Popular items move quickly—last year I put several pieces in my cart and waited, and they sold out. When you find pieces you love, check out fast. Next week I’ll share what I purchased and highlight some of my favorite sale picks, so stay tuned.
For now, here are outfits I’ve worn over the past few weeks. Many items are on sale right now. The first look below is entirely on sale—top to sandals. I love the cold-shoulder top that comes in multiple colors, and the sandals are comfortable and also available in black.
{ Top (My Size: S – 50% off) | Bra | Shorts (My Size: 26 – 40% off) | Sandals (40% off) | Sunglasses (30% off) }
lululemon is a go-to for workout gear that lasts. These lightweight leggings are great even in summer, and the tank I wore comes in many colors.
{ Top (My Size: 4) | Leggings (My Size: 4) | Sneakers }
High-waisted shorts are a summer essential—comfortable, flattering, and not too short. I paired them with embroidered heels that are on sale now.
{ Top (My Size: S) | Shorts (My Size: S) | Bralette | Heels (35% off) | Clutch | Sunglasses | Earrings }
For easy everyday wear, I love a lightweight sweatshirt-style dress. It’s cozy enough for home and cute enough for errands or lunch, and it comes in several colors.
{ Dress (My Size: XS) | Sandals (40% off) | Purse }
A summer-ready top with a pretty open back can be dressed down with shorts or elevated with a pencil skirt. I styled mine with a scalloped purse currently marked down.
{ Top (My Size: M) | Bra | Similar Skirt (40% off) | Heels (25% off) | Earrings | Purse (50% off) }
My everyday uniform lately is leggings and a tank. These leggings are an all-time favorite—high waisted and flattering. I linked similar options since mine are a few seasons old.
{ Similar Leggings | Similar Top | Jacket (My Size: S) | Sneakers | Scarf }
I wore this outfit on date night—jeans that fit perfectly and don’t sag are a game changer. We ended up at a Colombian spot and ate far too many empanadas, but it was worth it!
{ Top (My Size: S) | Bralette | Jeans (My Size: 2) | Heels (50% off) | Wallet }
I picked up another pair of jeans I love—stretchy and comfortable. I’ve been wearing them constantly since I bought them two weeks ago. The tank I paired is budget-friendly and comes in many colors.
{ Top (My Size: XS) | Bra | Jeans (My Size: 2) | Booties (33% off) | Purse | Sunglasses | Earrings }
I was happy to see this sports bra back in stock. The leggings and sneakers I wore are currently discounted; the leggings sit high without pinching and look great.
{ Leggings (My Size: 4 – 20% off) | Sports Bra (My Size: S) | Jacket (My Size: S) | Sneakers (20% off) }
This comfortable outfit is a repeat for me—I even wore it to a Rockies game on the 4th of July. Both the shorts and purse are on sale, so grab them while they last.
{ Top (My Size: XS) | Shorts (40% off) | Purse (31% off) | Hat | Earrings | Sandals (40% off) }
I’ll be packing this top for a trip to Santa Ynez—fits so well and lays nicely on the body. It’s a great summer staple, especially when you want to add a pop of color.
{ Top (My Size: S) | Bra | Jeans (My Size: 26) | Sandals | Similar Earrings | Hat }
This swing tank is only $25 and comes in many colors—such a comfortable, affordable option. The striped-pocket shorts are currently on sale and have quickly become a favorite.
{ Top (My Size: US2) | Bra | Shorts (My Size: 2 – 30% off) | Hat | Earrings | Sandals (40% off) }
This is probably my favorite outfit from the roundup—jeans that fit perfectly and a button-down tied at the waist. Wore it out for dinner and drinks (well, herbal tea at midnight), and felt great the whole night.
{ Top (My Size: XS) | Bralette | Earrings | Jeans (My Size: 2) | Booties (33% off) | Purse | Necklace }
