Eek! Tomorrow is the big day, it’s finally wedding day!! I’m so excited to marry my best friend and to finally see my wedding vision come to life.  In honor of my wedding weekend, I thought I would share a little wedding guest outfit inspiration.

This dark purple midi dress would be the perfect fall wedding guest dress! It’s lightweight which makes it perfect if the wedding you are attending is outdoors or if you spend lots of time working up a sweat on the dance floor.  It has a drawstring waist, great if you want that extra piece of cake or two. 😉  Dark jewel tones are not only perfect for fall, but they can make a dress look more fancy and luxe.  The texutre of this dress and handkerchief hemline give it a hint of statement too.

I’ve discussed the comfort level of these shoes so many times, but they really are the perfect shoe if you will be on your feet for awhile.  The block heel will also not sink into grass for an outdoor wedding.

I wore this dress out to a fancy dinner for my birthday, and it was so comfy but I still felt really dressed up.

Alright off to get married! Ya’ll have a great weekend!

Well Hello Friends!!  It’s been a hot minute since I’ve shared a blog post!  I meant to take a week off while on my July vacation, but that turned into a couple months when we returned and wedding planning kicked into high gear.  It’s officially wedding week, and I am so excited this week is finally here.  After 9 months of planning and working with some amazing wedding vendors, I cannot wait to see everything come together this weekend.

I’m going to be sharing lots of wedding posts next month, so get ready!  But until then I have some end of summer fashion as well as summer to fall transitional outfits to share with you.

Bodysuits are growing on me, so expect to see more as I ease my wardrobe into fall.  This crewneck one looks just like a basic sleeveless tee without having to worry about your top coming untucked.  It helps create a smooth line at the top of your skirt which I think can help give a more defined waist.  This one is going to be easy to layer under cardigans and pair with jeans this fall.  I’m wearing this in size small.

A few weeks ago, I paired my bodysuit with this cute wrap midi skirt for a wine night.  The movement on this skirt is gorgeous!  It’s a true wrap skirt with a small button on the waist line to help secure in place.  I think this skirt runs small, so I would consider sizing up.

Stay tuned later this week, I have the perfect dress for an outdoor fall wedding!

Hello Hello!  A little workwear for this Wednesday.  While I think this dress could work for a variety of events from shower guest to church to dinner with the gals, I think it shines as a work dress option for summer.  As many of you are transitioning back into work clothes, a loose fitting shift dress is a great option to ease you out of your at home loungewear into office wear.

This dress has really fun and feminine details like flutter sleeves and a tiered ruffle skirt design to add some texture to the dress.  I love all the different colors in the floral print.  It kind of reminds me of a painting.  You could easily toss on a colorful sandal, but I love pairing this with a nude color shoe to really help the print stand out. The v-neck design is perfect for pairing with a layered necklace. I do think it runs a little big.  I’m wearing an XS in this dress, but could have worn a size smaller too since it’s loose fitting.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Favorites

Alright y’all, all Nordy Club Tiers can now shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!  The last tier opened this morning.  Public Access for the sale will start July 28th.  As I previously mentioned, my coverage is a little different this year.  I have a vacation right in the middle of the sale, so I’m not sure if I will receive my goodies in time for a normal try on post.  Hopefully I can get one up before the sale ends though and hopefully the items will still be in stock by then.

I scoped the sale out online and pulled some of my top picks in the categories ya’ll love every year – SHOES, jeans, tops, dresses, and handbags.  I was also loving the beauty section this year, so stay tuned for that post coming soon!

Happy Shopping!
