Tips for Shopping the Sale

• Buy 2 sizes – Not sure what size you are? Buy 2 sizes!! Free returns online & in stores. Better safe than sorry!
• Buy online/Buy online, pick up in-store – Skip the crowds, shop on the couch! There is also more of a variety of merchandise available online than there may be in your local store. If you can’t wait, choose the Buy Online, Pick up In-Store option!
• Subscribe to email – For fit tips, restock alerts & much, much more!!

OK sounds good, but why shop early?

Let me put a little/a lot of emphasis on brand-new merchandise, marked down up to 40% off. Things go FAST, sometimes even on the first day of Early Access! If you’re unsure about something, best to hit “Checkout” right away just in case. Again, Nordstrom offers free returns online & in-store! Oh, might I add that if you are a Nordy Club cardmember you get to choose a Triple Points Day during the sale?! That’s a whole lot of Nordy Bucks you’re gonna earn!!

But I’m Buy Now, Wear Now…

I hear you loud and clear! There are things available during the sale that can easily be worn now AND later, and I promise to show you how! But let’s be honest, you and I both know you’ve been drooling over a good pair of booties and those AG jeans.

Any luxury items included?

Yes yes & YES! Snag that designer watch and heels you’ve been wanting and explain it to your husband with #fashionmath. Why pay more when you can pay less?! Get a sneak peak of some of your favorite designers here!
