The 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale PREVIEW is here and I love this process where we can all see whatβs going to be included and can start adding to our wish lists! Each year I make outfit ideas so you can start looking through your own closet and see what items you might want to refresh for the new season. I also have my top picks for men, beauty, kids and home since I shop for everyone during this sale!
Once I am able to shop the sale I will do a new post with IRL (in real life) photos of the items I purchase with sizing tips and thoughts (see last yearβs post here). *THIS IS IMPORTANT* when you build your wish list donβt get too attached, things can and will sell out BUT I always try and find similar items that could be interchanged with these outfit ideas so you still get a similar look even if my item pick is no longer available.
The next biggest item to discuss is HOW to get as many of your items on your sale shopping day and that is through the βwish listβ process. I talk about that and more tips and tricks in THIS post.
WORKWEAR
This is one of the BEST times to grab some workwear staples. I’m seeing some favorite workwear favorites back again like the Wit & Wisdom wide leg pants and some splurge pieces from Veronica Beard.
It’s also a great time for work shoes! From flats to pumps this year I’m seeing some cute options at a variety of price points.
Also as workplaces are getting a bit more casual I tried to find some more dressed down options as well!

EVERY DAY CASUAL
Not gonna lie, now living in Albuquerque the fall here is in-between Colorado and Texas with cool mornings but still can have some warm days. For my warm weather girlies grab JEANS!! Every year I go back and see if the items I bought during the NSALE went back on sale in October/ Nov or if they were offered for less money later. While I found that brands like Caslon and Halogen ended up dropping lower some of the higher end brands like Veronica Beard and Free People really never came back in stock enough to drop in price. This year I’m snagging some fav Frank & Eileen styles for fall and always love a great dress and boots!

ACTIVEWEAR
This is a great time to snag the Nordstrom brand Zella! This activewear is high quality but at a much better price than Lulu or Athleta and then even more discounted during this sale.
This is also the area that I tend to go a little sneaker crazy! For my daily mom life this what I wear the most so I feel like it’s a great time to take a look at the ones that are beat down and replace. I also snag as many Bombas sock sets as I can since they almost NEVER have a sale!

BEAUTY
When I asked the TRM Tribe about their Anniversary sale shopping habits after buying fashion for yourself, BEAUTY was the 2nd biggest category you purchased and yβall Iβm right there with you! This time of year Nordstrom comes out with some amazing gift sets and specials that you donβt see the rest of the year. I’ve also done a little comparison shopping and most of these items you will see something similar on sale during Prime Days but these are the better prices!

HOME & GIFTS
While I always think I’m good on home items there are always a few things that catch my eye! While I don’t need anymore Beis bags this is a great time to snatch this limited edition lavender color. Plus I always stock up on gifts like baby blankets and pura sets. Great for co-worker gifts throughout the year!

Now for what’s on my shopping list! This year like always I load up on jeans and shoes but I also saw a bunch of cute luxury tops and blazers from Frank & Eileen and Veronica Beard. These are normally splurges and rarely go on sale (with good size runs) so I’m going to try and snag some fall staples now!
