Ok you guys, I feel like I owe you all an apology. I got swept up in the excitement of the Nordstrom Sale and tbh, I was v disappointed when my order came in. I ended up returning 99% of what I got because 1. even with the sale prices, I spent more on items than I normally would and 2. the quality just wasn't there.
I've never been a big fan of this sale, I've always suspected it was a bit of a gimmick, and while I'm sure there are decent deals to be found, it seemed WAY to difficult to sniff them out for a sale with this much hype.
SO, I decided to put on my sale hunting boots and scope out some other sales that are happening right now that in my opinion, are WAY better. The flip side of all the hype the N-sale gets is that so many stores mark down their own merchandise to try to coax you back to them, and honestly, I'm here for it. I'm thinking of making this an annual thing.
The main draw of the N-Sale is that it's all merchandise for the upcoming fall season. Sweaters and booties and denim are big sellers so I rounded up some good options, that are on trend with what I'm seeing at Nordstrom but in my opinion better options because you won't be wearing the EXACT SAME THING as every person on Instagram.
Warning, I found A LOT of good deals, so tread lightly.
