One and Done NSale Post

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! Actually, it’s here for some; for the rest of us we must wait until we are granted access. Until they say they’ll allow us to spend our money on their goods. I am not gonna lie, it kinda bugs me. Yet here I am, writing this post. I can remember years ago, before I started a blog myself, I fell hook, line, and sinker into all the hype. Heck I even set my alarm early so once I was granted permission, I could pounce.

Now here I am running a blog of my own. We all have to make choices that are right for us and promoting this sale is no different. While I am sick and tired of hearing phrases like, you will never see prices this low, this will sell out quickly, I’ll be wearing this all season, I’m stocking up on essentials (wait, you did that last year, didn’t you?) I also understand that for many bloggers/influencers this is their livelihood. Who am I to judge? After all, I monetize this blog by using affiliate links and I even host contributed content.

My goal is to be authentic and genuine so I don’t want to lead you to believe I am placing a huge order or that your life will be forever marred if you miss out on the booties or denim you are eyeing. I’ll share with you what is on my wish list AND your life will most certainly go on happily if you don’t get what catches your eye in the sale. I promise. The world will continue to spin on its axis.

While I was healing from my burns last week (and unable to wear real clothes) I shopped the preview of the sale. I will be granted access on Friday, July 16 so I still have some time to wait. I created some collages of sale items I liked that I thought you might like too.

The NSale is a tiered sale, it starts on the 12th 9today) and opens to everyone on the 28th. As a cardholder I get to shop on the 16th. You can get all the details here.
