I know, I know… it’s only July. Who wants to start thinking about fall shoes when it’s 90 degrees outside? But, if you want to grab them before they’re gone, now is the time. I’m here to share with you the best of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021!

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the time when I first start my fall shoes shopping. I’m sure you can relate that it’s hard to pass by all those cute new bootie and sneaker styles that will compliment your favorite fall sweater. I’ll be completely transparent here when I say in years bast when shopping the NSALE, I would go overboard on my bootie purchases. This year when shopping the 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I did things differently when shopping for fall shoes. I tried to be more practical and precise with my shopping this year, so I took inventory of what I already had. Fortunately for my wallet, the styles didn’t change a ton this year. One fall shoe I knew I definitely needed this year was a black bootie.

You may find it hard to believe, but I didn’t have any casual black booties in my closet. Only higher heeled dressy ones.

I actually didn’t have these black booties on my radar when I first did my shopping. I had added the cream color on my wishlist because that’s definitely not something I had in my closet yet. When Madison and I went to Nordstrom at Ross Park Mall for our dressing room diaries they didn’t have the cream available so I tried the black. I loved the fit and style so much I decided to go with both the black and the cream. Does that ever happen to you? Do you love a shoe style so much you end up buying it in multiple colors?

Since fall shoes are a pretty hot topic during the NSALE, they usually start selling out first. Have no fear, I’ve been watching the shoe department to see what styles are still in stock.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 Casual Sneakers

I’m not sure when it actually hit, but I used to always go for the high heels. Well, now if you ask me my favorite type of fall shoe, I’m going to tell you it’s a casual sneaker. I know it’s still considered a splurge (but a major save compared to Golden Goose), but the P448 sneakers can’t be beaten. I swear you’ll feel like you’re walking on clouds! If the glitzy casual sneaker isn’t your jam, there’s still plenty of athletic styles to choose from including the Adidas Madison hasn’t stopped wearing since we brought them home.

So, now that you’ve seen the top fall shoes of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 what’s your preference? Booties or sneakers? Be sure to keep an eye out on Facebook and Instagram to see how I love styling them through the fall season!
