Let me tell you a story about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that explains the core of my being. For the first eight years of my life, I lived in Germany with my Expat parents. What does that have to do with the Nordstrom Anniversary sale? Well, every summer my parents would plan our annual trip to visit my grandparents in Seattle around the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. Since then, the sale has become a shopaholic’s dream national holiday and a pivotal part of my personality (and the first seasonal retail job on my resume). I’ve been curating my Nordstrom Anniversary sale picks ever since I was old enough to circle light-up sneakers in the Anniversary sale catalog with a red pen.

Since Seattle is home to the Nordstrom flagship store, the in-store selection is amazing and competition is fierce. I used to line up hours before the store opened to get first dibs on my favorite items from the catalog (like I said, I’m a fashion writer and I have a shopping problem). Thankfully, online shopping has since developed, and now I’m able to scroll through all 3,000 plus women’s sale picks without ever encountering a line.

It’s the greatest time of year. It’s Christmas in July. It’s the 2022 Nordstrom Anniversary sale and may I just say, this is the most excited I’ve ever been about the selection (yes, I’m even more excited than when I bought a teal Juicy Couture track jacket on sale back in 2009). If you aren’t familiar with the sale, here’s the gist. Nordstrom pulls an Uno-reverse and puts thousands of fall new arrivals on sale. The pieces range from everyday basics like bras, tanks and jeans to designer accessories and home decor. Once the sale is over, all the items get marked up to the full price. Essentially, if you snooze, you lose. The entire inventory is available to the public on July 15, which means it’s officially time to shop ’til you drop.

I just hung up a FaceTime call with my (very stylish) mom to evaluate my favorite items from the 2022 sale. This year, I’m excited about the influx of loafers, soft denim, chic blouses and luxury candles. I love that the sale also helps me predict what will be trending this fall. Spoiler alert: scrunchy boots, quilted jackets and fall florals are going to be big next season. Here are my favorite 18 pieces that made my shortlist.
