Like everything this year, the 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has some big changes afoot. Wondering again why it’s such a big deal? Well, it’s because THIS sale features new arrivals from top brands, NOT clearance or end-of-season merchandise. I’ve vetted out the best of the best for you and will be sharing some top looks as well as all the updates you need to be aware of pertaining to this years’ sale.
The sale is more focused this year with special emphasis on the categories of loungewear, sleep, and casual wear. A majority of the items shown here are also available in plus sizes. While today’s post focuses on styles for women, be sure to check out my LIKEtoKNOWit page for some of the best bets for Men, Children, Home, Beauty, and the Designer Shop! I’ll be adding looks throughout the week.

New for 2020
The most notable change for 2020 is that you can now preview the sale AND wish list sale items so that when it’s your turn to shop, you can easily check out with the items you’ve wish-listed. The wish list will also help you keep better track of items as they flow in and out of stock throughout the sale.
The second enhancement for 2020 is the Anniversary Sale “Deal of the Day”! From August 19-30, a special item will be highlighted each day at 50% off. The deals go live at 9:30 AM EST or 6:30 AM PST. The beauty department will also be running special deals, focusing on either a specific category (ex., hair tools) or brand each day.
