Did You Go? The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Those Who Know Go, The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale on vickiarcher.com


Did you go?

To the Nordstrom Anniversary sale?


The sale is still going strong and with close attention there are some good opportunities to be had.


Sales can be a little like yesterday’s lunch; they lose their appeal once they are enjoyed. Best to get in, conquer and leave in triumph.



I break my sales shopping into two parts and always apply the same Do and Don’t rules to my buying. Whether I am searching beauty, accessories or clothing, I follow the same thought process.


The first stage, re-assessing and replacing some of the classics, has been successful and now I am looking for a few bits and pieces in a whole variety of categories.




My next search is beauty; this year I haven’t found a huge amount of bargains but enough.

Then I check on the accessories; the bags, the luggage and any of the practical pieces I could do with smartening up a bit.

I take a swing around the jackets and coats.

And lastly a dip into the lingerie/shape wear. I am looking for pieces I know work and I need.

A random wander in many ways, but this way I end up with what I need at a fraction of the price; a checklist of sorts.



Done and done. xv
