Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2022: Splurge or Save

July 13, 2022 by Katie H.

Nordstrom Anniversary sale online shopping

One of my favorite things to do as I browse the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale each year is to find splurge or save items to share. I mentioned in my last post on this sale (HERE) that you don’t need to shop this sale to benefit from it. You can use the sale as your style guide for fall. There’s nothing wrong with a good splurge from time to time, but for me, I’m all about a good save!

Not only do I shop it from time to time, but I also use it to build my fall wish list. Today I will tell you how you can save big by shopping through the sale, but I will also tell you how you can use this sale as your shopping guide for fall even if you don’t feel like buying anything in the actual sale.

What I wore this week as a 40-year old mom of 2! What I wore this week as a 40-year old mom of 2! 

Happy Mother’s Day!! 💕 Today I am truly embracing this day and remembering how much I always wanted to be a mom! 

I recently came across a journal entry I wrote 10 years ago on Mother’s Day—right after my second miscarriage. I wrote that I was ready to be a mom, but I was so scared and worried about our future. I didn’t know when and if it would actually happen. 

One month later, I was pregnant with my son.

And now here I am, ten years later—tired, busy, deeply grateful, and fully embracing this season I once wanted so so bad! 

To every mom today—in the waiting, in the chaos, or missing the days that flew by—I see you. We are all in this together! 💕
