It’s that time of year again where almost every blogger is raving about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. This sale is pushed HEAVILY by one of the main blogger networks and a lot of commission is at stake, that’s why you see everyone and their mom talking about it. Here on Thrifty Pineapple I LOVE a good sale, y’all know that, but I also can see through the BS.
Nordstrom isn’t a place I shop at regularly, so this sale isn’t that exciting to me. I will occasionally buy a few pieces every so often from Nordstrom, but for the most part, I am more of a Nordstrom Rack girl. This sale claims to have really good deals on “new” items. I often feel like the sale prices still aren’t that great. I really don’t get out of bed for sale prices more than 60% off.
I also REALLY don’t like the idea that you have to have a credit card to shop early or to get extra perks. I just can’t get behind promoting something like that. I would also feel so bad if you felt pressured to sign up for a credit card because I told you to do it. No thanks!
As I was browsing through some of the sale items and watching some try-on sessions from my blogger friends I started thinking, I’m sure you could find similar pieces to these popular NSale items for a lot cheaper. I always tend to notice a lot of these items end up at Nordstrom Rack anyways in just a few months if you are patient and willing to wait.
But if you are looking for copycats of these items for less to shop right now, I’ve got you! I rounded up 16 of the popular items from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and found copycat items for less – some of them ALOT less!
16 NSale Copycat Items For Less
NSALE Earrings | Copycat Earrings
I actually like the copycat version way better because you can add your monogram to it!
NSALE Leather Leggings | Copycat Leggings 1 | Copycat Leggings 2
I am not a fan of the leather leggings (even the SPANX version), but I know a lot of people love them.
NSALE Leopard Cardigan | Copycat Leopard Cardigan
NSALE Button-Down | Copycat Button-Down
NSALE Bow Dress | Copycat Bow Dress
I am shocked by how similar these two dresses are.
NSALE Gold Mules | Copycat Gold Mules
NSALE Lace Dress | Copycat Lace Dress
NSALE Tie Blouse | Copycat Tie Blouse
NSALE Cardigan | Copycat Cardigan
NSALE Snakeskin Booties | Copycat Snakeskin Booties
Copycat items are definitely out there you just have to hunt. Hopefully, if anything this just shows you sometimes it’s all marketing and you really don’t HAVE to have any of these items. There will be lots of cute fall things, so buy the copycats or wait until more cute fall things come out.
Amen to your fresh perspective on the NSale! I appreciate your willingness to stay true to yourself and your lifestyle despite what others are doing. Though not directly related, what a great example of living out Romans 12:2
I own that copycat black tee and can say it is so good! It looks way more expensive than $16 and is a great staple piece
