Pro Tips for Shopping the 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

July 11, 2021

2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Pro Tips and Laura's Sale Preview Picks

It’s that time of year again when Nordstrom selects some Fall 2021 items in each shopping category and places them on sale for a limited time before the Fall retail season officially kicks off. I have been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for the past few years and feel like I have a pretty good handle on things, including best practices for shopping the highly anticipated 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

Like previous years, shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale can be frustrating. Some popular items like my Barefoot Dreams cardigan or Spanx faux leather leggings (regular and maternity) sell out super fast so it pays to shop the sale early if you are looking to add these Fall closet staples to your wardrobe or if it’s time to swap out your tried and true favorite for a new one.

PRO Tip: Get a head start and wishlist all the items you are interested in purchasing prior to the sale starting. You get to select the size and color you want for each item if applicable so that shopping online and checkout is super easy and you’re not spending time during the sale looking through everything possibly missing out on purchasing the one or two items you really wanted.

If you love shopping the sale and are not already a Nordstrom card holder, it pays to sign up to get one. Even though the online preview is up for anyone to view, just like with previous years, early access to shop opens up by cardholder status. There are major benefits to being a cardholder and not just for the NSale! Nordstrom also incentivizes cardmembers to shop by offering bonus Nordstrom Notes, and if previous years can tell us anything, cardmembers who shop early access 9 times out of 10 end up getting 10x points during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale because of complications shopping online (ie site crashing) and/or product cancellations.

Since Nordstrom has opened the 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Preview online I have scoured the site to make my selections for my top picks in each category of the sale. You can start wish listing items that you want to purchase now directly on Nordstrom.com, in the LTK app from my Nordstrom image posts and collages, or you can bookmark this post as a reference for when you are able to shop the sale.

I hope you found this post to be helpful for preparing to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and that this post can serve as a continued resource for you as the 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale approaches! I will provide a post once the sale goes live with the pieces I purchased (like I did last year) as well as styling some of these pieces so you can see the fit. If you are as excited as I am for the sale I’d love to know what you are planning on shopping for and how I can help make your experience shopping the sale as easy as possible!!

And as a little reminder/plug, one way I make money on this blog is through affiliate links. By you clicking on my link/s before shopping the NSale or any sale/retailer I will earn a small commission if you make a purchase. This greatly helps me be able to continue to run Have Need Want and to be able to continue to provide helpful styling tips, outfit inspiration, and all the other content you can find here on the blog. There is no impact to you, but it can help me not only earn commission but also can help me in negotiating and landing partnerships as retailers are able to see the traffic and sales generated through my blog. I would be thrilled and so appreciative if you would shop through my links if you found the items I’ve curated to be helpful in shopping this sale and others

As always, thank you so much for stopping by the blog today!
