A few drops of sweat and countless outfit changes later, my official 2024 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Hits & Misses post is here! From sweaters to boots, jeans, and dresses, it went from summer to fall in a HOT second today. No truly, it got really hot as soon as I started putting said fall items on. #worthit.
While there are literally thousands of items [I may have ordered just a few shy of this number, oops] in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I am hoping this compilation of hits and misses will not just save you some time, but see the items on a real person and also be able to hear my honest thoughts on sizing, quality, cut and all of that good stuff!
While I’m hitting publish today on this post, I still have a LOT of items that are still on their way to me. With that being said, I 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 August 4th 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 17th]! 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 that 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 8/4, 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!

ps. For sizing reference, I am 5’4, 145 lbs depending on the day, typically a small/4 in tops + dresses and 27 in jeans + pants with a preferred inseam of 26-28 inches. Bra size is 36DDD [hello milk supply]. Now, let’s get [the longest party you’ve ever attended] started…

Why it’s a miss: Perhaps I just need a more supportive bra that lifts the ladies a little more, but the way this triangle is pointing it simply leads the eye to some saggy boobs 😉

DRESSES & JUMPSUITS – MISSES
Chelsea 28 Dress [true to size, wearing small] // Marc Fisher Booties // AllSaints Crossbody Bag
Why it’s a miss: It’s actually an adorable dress and would be so cute for a concert, but with the neckline not working with a traditional bra, it was a no for me. Anything to not wear a strapless bra right now!
Eliza J Dress [size up one, wearing 4] // Marc Fisher Booties
Why it’s a miss: It’s such a cute dress, just if you do purchase it, be sure to size up, especially if you’re busty. It was so tight on my upper body!
Steve Madden Dress [true to size, wearing small] // Marc Fisher Booties
Why it’s a miss: Maybe if I would have tried it on in a different color I would have liked it, but I just didn’t care for this color on me.
Nordstrom Dress [size down, wearing small] // Nordstrom Booties
Why it’s a miss: The fabric is amazing [think SPANX AirEssentials] however, the turtleneck was overwhelming.

Why it’s a miss: This dress was SO short on [and tight]. The minute I put it on I wanted it off, even though the fabric was amazing.
