Those Who Know Go: The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

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


It’s on, it is official; the Nordstrom Anniversary sale.

I love their caption, “Those who know, go.” Let’s.

It is probably one of the best sales of the year and even though it is hard to get the head around buying winter when summer feels as if it has only just began, if you can, it is seriously worthwhile.



By now you know my feeling about sales.

I am quite strict when it comes to sale shopping; experience has taught me it is a must to stand firm. Buying on a whim is fun for a moment but the time it takes to disentangle the “mistakes” is far more annoying.


Before I show my edit of this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, don’t forget the 5 do’s and the 5 don’ts of sale shopping.

The 5 Do’s And The Don’ts

Do buy what you already like.

Don’t buy the unfamiliar.



Do replace the old with the new.

Don’t try and re-invent a whole new you.



Do invest at sale time; cost per wear is the best equation ever. Use it.

Don’t buy because the price is right; the piece must be right.



Do buy the classics; they aren’t boring but good value.

Don’t buy to grow into or squeeze into; it never happens.



Do return if need be; when in doubt, vote out.

Don’t be put of by too much choice; take a deep breath, read the above and streamline the basket.



For starters, this is where I am headed, xv.


p.s 

THESE are amazing
