I've been anxiously awaiting the mail on a daily basis for about a week now. I knew any day something exciting was coming, and it finally came on Monday...
I flipped through it immediately. In addition to the catalog, I was provided with a secret code that allowed me to log onto the website and look at everything that is going to be on sale. I called Lisa to report that the sale was near. Here's our conversation:
Me: There are several things that I think I might have to request for my birthday or Christmas.
Lisa: Well you know your Mom likes to get her shopping done early.
Me: It's just so exciting, it's one of my favorite holidays
Lisa: What? Your birthday?
Me: No! Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale!
Lisa: Is that a holiday now?
I plan to get the necessities: I always get my year's supply of Spanx. I also need some new bras. Not exciting, but it is great that my bras are $26 cheaper on the sale than any other time of year.
Non-necessities on my list may include:
Uggs. I think these are so cute, and I didn't buy any new Uggs last year!
Barefoot Dreams wrap. I have always longed to have their robe (which is on sale too BTW), but I don't really like robes. I do think I'd use this wrap though.
I was happy to see that it appears riding boots and leggings are still in style for fall, but I'm a little unnerved by the fact that it appears we are going back to the "grunge" era...lace up military style boots, etc. I mean, isn't it a little soon for that look to come back? It was just the 90's like, yesterday, right? Plus, I don't really think that was a good look that needs to be comin' around again.
