Don’t forget to join the LIY Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Facebook Group where there are nightly giveaways happening!
PS You can check out Erin’s FULL Hit’s & Misses blog post in one spot right here!
PSS Consider THIS your NSale headquarters, with all the content in one spot!
While we’re hitting publish today on this post, we still have a decent amount of items to try on. With that being said, we will be updating this blog post often with new hits & misses so keep checking back!
If you have been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale already, you may have missed a thing or two, but have no fear – you have until July 31st to purchase the products at a major discount. After that, prices will go back up to normal.
ANNIVERSARY SALE SHOPPING TIPS & TRICKS
- Anything that you love and want for yourself, add to your wish list and check out once the sale is live for your card level [reminder: if you don’t have a card, the public sale starts July 15th]! If it isn’t currently available in your size and color preference, things are always coming in and out of stock, so check back often!
- Remember that Nordstrom always offers free shipping and free returns! Because of this, I would recommend ordering two sizes on things you are unsure of, to make sure that you can get it at the sale price and return the one that doesn’t work!
- Some of the items I mention may currently be out of stock, but check back often for restocks! We’ll also be notifying you of restocks over on our Facebook page and #NSALE group [highly recommend joining the group for a ton of helpful info and nightly giveaways!]
- Keep in mind that while the sale lasts until 7/31, things go quick so don’t be like N*Sync and have to say “bye, bye, bye” to everything before it’s gone – shop early!
- If there’s anything I didn’t cover and you still have questions, ask away below and I’ll answer right here so check back! For more Nordstrom Anniversary Sale posts, click here!

Heather here! If you haven’t tried the Nordstrom Moonlight Pajamas, this is your year! I always size up one size for a cozy fit and gives me a little extra length on my 6’ frame. These are the softest pajamas! Buy for yourself or this is my go to gift for a new momma!
MISSES
Erin: 5’4″ / Size 2 Bottoms / XS-Small Tops
Ultra Run Sports Bra • Sweaty Betty [true to size, wearing in 36DD] // Shirred Up Shorts • Zella [true to size, wearing in small] // Waffle One Sneaker – Nike [true to size]
Why it’s a miss: This sports bra had virtually no padding which for my ladies, they need a little [or a lot] of something! Back it goes!
Altitude Running Shorts • Zella [true to size, wearing in small]
Why it’s a miss: I prefer my workout shorts to be a higher rise. These seemed to sit pretty low on my waist and a little small! Back they go!
Performance Mesh Tank • Zella [true to size, wearing in small] // Shirred Up Shorts • Zella [true to size, wearing in small] // Waffle One Sneaker – Nike [true to size]
Why it’s a miss: There is nothing wrong with this tank, it just didn’t do much for me! I felt like the fit at the waist was a little awkward.
Cara Lite Half Zip Crop Sweatshirt • Zella [size up if in between, wearing in small but could do medium] // Get Moving 14-Inch Skort • Spanx [true to size, wearing in small] // Waffle One Sneaker – Nike [true to size]
Why it’s a miss: I hate filing this under miss because I love the color and idea so much, however, I think it’s cropped slightly more than I prefer which means I most likely wouldn’t wear it often!
CozyChic Ultra Lite™ Long Robe • Barefoot Dreams [true to size]
Why it’s a miss: I don’t think labeling it a “miss” is fair, however, I think it’s a little too long for my liking and maybe a tad too thin. The fabric is super soft, but I’m more into plush thick robes!
Lauren: 5’6″ / Size 8 Bottoms / Medium Tops
Sweaty Betty Explorer Zip Jacket
Sweaty Betty Explorer Zip Jacket [true to size, wearing in medium] // Zella Live In High Waist Pocket 7/8 Leggings [true to size, wearing in medium]

Macy: 4’11” / Pants – 00 / Tops – XXS-XS
Nike Sportswear Oversized Sweatshirt
Nike Sportswear Oversized Sweatshirt [TTS]
Hannah: 5’2″ / 0P-2P Bottoms / XXS-XS Tops
Zella Relaxed Long Sleeve Shirt
Zella Relaxed Long Sleeve Shirt [size down one, wearing in XS] // Nike Dri Fit Shorts [Size up if in between, wearing in Medium] // Kut from the Kloth Exposed Button Jeans [size down if in between] // Sperry Duck Boots [true to size]
While this one is a great basic that can be worn with activewear and denim, it was too oversized and long for my personal preference!
Katy: Free People The Way Home Shorts
Free People The Way Home Shorts [sized up for pregnancy] // Moonlight Tee [size up if in between] // ON Cloud Sneakers [true to size]
These shorts were a miss for me simply because where I am in my pregnancy and I didn’t feel comfortable or flattered in them!
