Well, I just did some damage [understatement of the century]. Judgment is made and Nordstrom Anniversary Sale not good for my bank account. Oh my god. Just when I thought I was done shopping, I came across another thing I NEEDED and suddenly I added 12 more things to my cart, and 129 items after that I was checking out. The thing is, I found much to try on. And so I will try. While you’ll look at this list below and think “Erin, why did you REALLY BUY ALL of these?” [don’t worry, that is a normal and healthy reaction and if you didn’t think those thoughts I might be concerned] and while the answer is yes because i need it all [kidding, I don’t], I like to think of it as “being your official commemorative semi-formal guinea pig”. My mission is to share with you all what is worth your money [and even more so, what isn’t worth spending your dollars on] so consider me a type tester. I buy a lot because it’s product research [and because getting dressed is fun although full disclosure: I’m already sweating thinking about the outfit changes that are about to ensue while it’s 90 degrees but I’m prouncing around in sweaters and boots]. Also, without all these items, my annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Hits & Misses blog post will not be [here is last years for a taste of what is to come]!
In case you haven’t been able to shop yet, don’t worry, this year you can click on the items below and add them to your wish list so that when the time comes, you can simply add to your cart. In one transaction, hit pay and wait for Christmas to arrive at your doorstep! Here’s a complete list of shopping dates in case you need it!
