The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of the sales I look forward to every year because I shop for fall pieces for the fam and stock up on some of my annual faves at a great price. As a (lowest tier )cardholder, I officially get to start shopping at midnight, and whether you are also just now able to shop, or you’re a non-cardholder waiting til the 18th, I wanted to send out the top 20 things I’m most excited about during this year’s sale. A few favorites have already sold out (or sold out in the size and color I was hoping for), so I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for restocks if I miss them this round. And, once everything arrives, I’ll be back and sharing my thoughts, sizing notes, and what I think is actually worth adding to your cart.

NUMBER 1
Paige Anessa High Waist Wide Leg Jeans
SALE: $172.99 | AFTER SALE: $259
I got the cropped version of these jeans this summer and fell in love! These were the jeans that made me a believer in “designer” jeans, despite the price tag (I’ve never spent more than $100 on jeans before). They were still worth it. I can’t wait to grab the full length version! They are so soft and comfortable and they also come in a petite length, which I’ll be snagging. *Update: I just saw my size in the petite length is currently sold out so I will likely grab my size in the regular length…
Here’s a reminder of what the cropped version looks like, in a lighter wash…
NUMBER 2
Varley Milano Half-Zip Sweatshirt
SALE: $85.99 | AFTER SALE: $128
I have been SO excited to finally get my hands on some Varley pieces and I LOVE the look of this half-zip. It comes in a few colors but I think I’m going for the olive green. This will sell out soon.
NUMBER 3
Moonlight Eco Knit Pajamas
SALE: $55.99 | AFTER SALE: $85
I got my first pair of these soft pjs last year and am coming back for more! The value is fantastic and I wash them repeatedly without issue. They come in a bunch of colors and I’m still trying to decide between the blue strip or the pink stripe!
Here’s the brown when I first got them last year…
NUMBER 4
Free People Torres Turtleneck Sweater
SALE: $98.99 | AFTER SALE: $148
I always grab a Free People sweater during the sale and again, I’m having a tough time deciding between the army green or cream. I love the blue, also, but have plenty of blue. I will be sizing down one since FP typically runs really big. This one will sell out.
NUMBER 5
OnCloud Cloud 6 Sneaker
SALE: $109.99 | AFTER SALE: $160
I have these sneakers in more colors than I can count but they all get the heck worn out of them! I am so excited they brought this pretty pastel to the sale because it isn’t a color I have. I love that these slip on with bungee laces and once you experience them, you’ll be a believer 😉 These will sell out.
NUMBER 6
Peter Millar Comfort Interlock Organic Cotton Blend Quarter Zip Pullover
SALE: $99.99 | AFTER SALE: $158
I get Dave a few Peter Millar shirts each year during the sale and I am getting him another color in this one! These are so nice and last!
NUMBER 7
Varley Bea Freesoft Racerback Bralette
SALE: $58.99 | AFTER SALE: $88
I’NSERT’m excited to try this low impact sports bra from Varley — it is most like my former favorite that was discontinued, but higher quality. I’m grabbing two colors in case I love it!
NUMBER 8
Zella Soft Luxe Utility Jacket
SALE: $65.99 | AFTER SALE: $99
Huge Zella stan here and I’m a sucker for the cinched waist. Comes in three colors and I love THESE wide leg Zella pants paired with it!
NUMBER 9
Madewell Suede Shopper Tote
SALE: $158.99 | AFTER SALE: $238
I lost track of how many times I raved about this suede tote last year (that I have in blue and dark brown)
I wore this thing all over on repeat last fall and winter and will be picking it right back up soon!
NUMBER 10
Free People Frankie Cable Cotton Sweater
SALE: $65.99 | AFTER SALE: $98
I didn’t stop at one Free People sweater — I’m grabbing the chunky cable knit one, also 😉 I am grabbing the light pink but also love the green! Based on reviews, I will actually order this in my regular size.
NUMBER 11
Zella Atlas Wide Leg Pants
SALE: $54.99 | AFTER SALE: $79
I love Zella and I love a good quality, wide leg athleisure pant. I am stoked to try these.
NUMBER 12
Primary Kids Lightweight Puffer Jacket
SALE: $44.99 | AFTER SALE: $68
I had no idea Nordstrom carried pieces from Primary until I saw that they had our favorite kids lightweight puffer jacket as part of the sale! It holds up SO well and the value can’t be beat. She still fits in her very first one from a few years ago, I purchased the next size up in red that she also wears, and I’ve even purchased the size up from that! Nordstrom carries it in several colors.
Here’s her in the first jacket from two years ago still fits her (this photo was just snapped two months ago!) It packs so easily for trips, too.
They also have reversible fleece puffer jackets HERE as part of the sale.
NUMBER 13
Zella Ottoman Half Zip Pullover
SALE: $59.99 | AFTER SALE: $89
I’m excited for this pullover and while the purple isn’t my typical, purple is the color of Eliza’s softball team. I have nothing else in this color so I’m hoping I’ll love this piece as much as I think I will. It comes in additional neutral colors.
NUMBER 14
Clinique Jumbo Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm
SALE: $36 | VALUE: $58 (sale exclusive)
I always stock up on this stuff in the big jar during the sale and it probably lasts the entire year. If you aren’t using this stuff yet, it’s the easiest way to remove your makeup without the consequences of the makeup wipe. It’s gentle and melts it all right off! I use it along with a makeup eraser towel.
NUMBER 15
Open Edit Comfy Jersey Pajamas
SALE: $62.99 | AFTER SALE: $95
These are adorable and look like they feel incredible! I love a longer short sleeve and I can’t wait to try these in the pink!
NUMBER 16
4ct. Cubic Zirconia Stud Earrings
SALE: $32.99 | AFTER SALE: $50
I have SO many pairs of these at this point and they are my daily go-to. They look fantastic and the 4ct. size actually means 2 per earring. They are fairly large (which I like), but if you prefer something a LITTLE smaller, you can grab them in a 2ct (1ct/ear) HERE.
NUMBER 17
Mini Boden Kids’ Scallop Trim Cardigan
SALE: $35.99 | AFTER SALE: $55
I can’t decide which little girl’s Mini Boden cacrdigan is my fave — the hearts with pink or the hearts with blue! Such a gorgeous, sweet sweater for a reduced for them price.
NUMBER 18
Polo Ralph Lauren Cable Knit Cotton Cardigan
SALE: $129.99 | AFTER SALE: $198
I am so excited about this fitted cable knit Polo cardigan with collar! I envision wearing it buttoned up this fall, with a silk neck scarf; I can’t wait to get it and style it! What a classic piece.
NUMBER 19
Mother Kick It High Waist Straight Leg Jeans
SALE: $185.99 | AFTER SALE: $278
I am really looking forward to trying these — before I bought my last pair of Paige jeans, a pair of Mother jeans almost won out so I’m trying them again while they’re on such big discount! These will sell out…
NUMBER 20
Lauren Ralph Lauren Double Breasted Wool Blend Crop Coat
SALE: $179.99 | AFTER SALE: $280
I love the cut of this coat, the four colors it comes in, and the confidence in the 5-star rating! Sizes are already limited so I may not be able to snag it right now, but I’ll be watching for restocks.
We’ll see if I make any impromptu cart adds or go back for any second looks. Whether these items end up on my doorstep this week or I have to play the restock game for a few of them, I’ll be sharing an update after they come in. If you’re shopping the sale too, I’d love to hear what’s on your list! And if you’re not a cardholder, be sure to bookmark this post before public access begins on July 18 so you can shop your favorites as soon as the sale opens.
