Pre-#NSale tips

I know that Fridays are typically reserved for TGIF posts, but since I spent a couple chilling out and enjoying the holidays, there isn’t a whole heck of a lot to catch up on here on The CaroLøve. Today, I wanted to get a little into everyone’s favorite sale before it goes live next week. That’s right y’all- it’s almost #NSALE time.

For those of you who don’t know, here’s how it works by the dates:

  • July 11, Level 4 cardmembers get to pre-shop the sale in stores only
  • July 12-19, all cardmembers get to shop Early Access in stores and online.
  • July 20-August 5, Nordstrom’s biggest sale of the year opens to the public

Now, I have the card myself so I will hop on that July 12th. I really don’t want to encourage folks to open cards because that is how we get into trouble, but I do have to say that if you wanted to, this card is a good one. I use it for stocking up on things like cardis and jeans when Nordstrom Rack is having a good sale. Or… you know… for the #NSale.

Last year, I got an amazing utility jacket. I ordered a few other things that I ended up not keeping but I love my jacket. This year, my goal is some loafers for work and maybe just some work appropriate clothes in general. Besides a couple of pairs of jeans and some of my own designs, I’ve really been trying to stick to work wear anyway.

Consider this a stock-up sale- I have a running Nordstrom wish list and I’ve already decided that if anything goes on sale from my own list, I’ll pounce. Some of the things on the list are on sale already but I’m waiting for the sale to start to purchase. *crosses fingers for these crazy sneakers*. You can also catch a sneak preview of their anniversary catalogue.

Nordstrom has a famously amazing return policy (and free shipping!), so grab what ya want (because it will sell out), return what doesn’t work. Some of the brands specifically I’m looking for are Halogen & Steve Madden.

I honestly think that after this year’s #NSale, I might take a page from Brea’s book and go on a 5 month shopping ban. Could this be my last hurrah for a bit?

I’ll be back next week with my #NSale picks!
