….maybe. Why maybe? A few reasons. 1. Unless you have a Nordstrom card, you can’t shop anything in this sale until July 19. I don’t have a card. 2. A lot of people, who aren’t me, do have the card and are therefore granted “easy access to shop and purchase before the rest of us. 3. This usually results in a ton of sale items backordered before “public access” begins. I realize I just rambled, so let me back up. In short, this is the one, huge, pre-fall sale at Nordstrom that includes the sale of items that apparently “rarely” go on sale. Instead of just “20% off of this brand” it’s usually 20-30% off of this one particular item that’s usually very popular.
Last year during the sale, I so badly wanted the BLANKNYC Life Changer Moto Jacket. Any time I tried to buy, it was sold out.
Essentially what happens is a lot of bloggers who have a card, and therefore “early access,” will share their finds with their readers. While most people are annoyed by it – which I totally get – since I myself can’t easily search for anything yet, II always can’t wait to see what they’ve found. After seeing a ton of their picks last week, I’ve narrowed down a few items that I definitely think are worth buying. If I am able to order these, I’ll come back and share my verdict on what I think and if I ended up keeping.
- Green BLANKNYC Meant to Be Moto Jacket – $64.90
I mentioned in this post that last year I so badly wanted the popular BLANKNYC Life Changer Moto Jacket. Any time I tried to buy it during the sale, it was sold out. I’m hoping this jacket – which is definitely different – would be the same fit. The hood is removable and I wouldn’t normally like the color, but I saw Jessica wear it in this post and of course it looks so much better in an iPhone photo, LOL. - Neutral Adidas Flashback Sneaker – $67.90
I’ve been looking for a nude/neutral commuter shoe for walking to work and these look perfect. TBD on if they’re comfy and supportive, though. Also, these Gazelles are on sale and I’ve heard great things.. - Zella Live In High Waist Leggings – $35.90
Everyone raves about these, but I’m pretty picky when it comes to black leggings. Since they’re high-wasted, it’s worth a shot. Just to wear around though, I’ll never cheat on my Nike’s when it comes to working out! - Topshop Lily Knit Back Midi Coat – $82.90
Two fall seasons have passed and I still haven’t gotten round to buying a staple camel coat. I saw this coat on in Insta Stories and it too looked much cuter on a non-model and in almost real life. Underneath the collar, there’s chic black detailing, too. - Tan BLANKNYC A-Line Suede Skirt – $64.90
I can’t really tell if this would end up looking horrid on me, but I love the idea of it. Also, not sure it’s worth the money, but I don’t have many skirts and I feel like if the fit was right I’d wear this nonstop during fall. - Trouvé Menswear Blazer – $99.90
This would be a splurge for a blazer, but I’ve been on the hunt for a good grey boyfriend blazer for some time. And since I wear the same stuff over and over again, I’d probably get my money’s worth after one season. Again, I saw this on someone via Instagram and it appeared sooo much cuter than it does on the website. - Halogen Lace Detail Cami – $29.90
I’ve also heard a few good things about this piece being a staple came for under jackets. But, they used to have a navy/black option, and now I believe it’s just prints. Hopefully, they’ll restock soon.
I’ll keep this updated with my thoughts on whatever pieces I can get my hands on. I’m notorious for placing large shopping orders online, and ending up keeping just a piece or two – which is obviously great for my wallet!
