NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE: Try On Session
As promised, I’m bringing you another Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try On Session today. These outfits feature items from my online order, plus a few repeats from yesterday’s dressing room diaries. A few of these outfits were also featured on Instastories yesterday, but I tried to mix it up a little and create new outfits for those of you who saw them over on Instagram. I also worked with some fabulous local photographers and will be bringing you some fun fall looks this week featuring some of my purchases. Be sure to keep checking back, because I have lots of fun sale posts planned this week AND on Wednesday, I also will have a little giveaway!
black turtleneck | jeans | slouchy boots
These boots were my investment piece purchase this year. I have always wanted a pair of Stuart Weitzman boots and fell in love with these the moment I saw them in the catalog. It’s the most I have ever spent on an investment piece during this sale, and I’m so happy with my purchase. These boots are beautiful! I styled this turtleneck two ways – casual and work a few pics down. It’s a great basic layering piece and can also be worn alone. It’s thin and lightweight, so perfect for warmer fall days.
floral top | gray jeans | mule sandals | gray crossbody bag
An outfit full of pieces you can wear now and in fall! These gray jeans fit like a dream! I love owning gray jeans as a break from the usual black and blue shades. This gray crossbody is my only bag purchase this year. I wanted a neutral bag and fell in love with this shade. I also like that the metal is darker so it blends in well with my outfit.
A little workwear look that can work for both summer and fall. This teal top is a great closet staple and comes in a few different colors. You can wear it alone or layer it under a leather jacket or cardigan. These pencil skirts are one of my favorites for work. I own a few other colors from previous sales. I accidentally ordered the regular version which is why it’s a little long on me, and I’m waiting for the petite to come back in stock to re-order.
dark gray top | skinny jeans | booties
I love all 3 of these items, but each one has a small area for improvement for me. The jeans are a little big, and I would need to go down a size. The gray top is super low cut, so you might need a cami underneath or your bra will show. The booties are super adorable, but I’m not sure I love the odd line across the front of the ankle. The jeans I will probably return since I found a couple other dark pairs I love, and the other 2 items are still up for debate.
white top | jeans | suede boots
Truth – I shot this look for the blog too, so you will be seeing it again soon. With everything selling out so fast, I wanted to share this one with you early. I love classic white tops, and this one is a nice lightweight material. These jeans are AMAZING! The perfect dark shade and super comfy. My downside to them is the inside is black, so you can’t cuff them which I love to do with jeans and heels or booties.
black turtleneck | gray skirt
LOVE this work look for fall! You can also add black slouchy boots to make this work in winter. This gray pencil skirt has some really cute details with the buttons and little front slit.
green cardigan | black tee | jeans | mule slides
I mentioned yesterday I purchased this green cardigan. With all the cardigans I own, I didn’t have any long ones in green! I also picked up this black tee, because I added a few casual layering basics to my closet this year. I think it runs a little big, so you may want to consider sizing down. These jeans are my top pick for a good everyday blue jean. The perfect color for wearing year round.
navy top | gray jeans | gray mules
Another wear now look! I love this gray and navy combo! This lace details on this top are even prettier in person. I love buying new fall items, but always include a few wear now items.
green floral dress
The perfect dress for work or a bridal shower. I’m exchanging for a smaller size, but I didn’t want you to miss out on this cutie. I love this floral print and ruffle hem. It will also look cute paired with a camel leather jacket in the fall.
long sleeve black tee | jeans | brown booties
An outfit filled with fall basics. This long sleeve tee is a must for fall layers, and it also looks cute all alone. I wear these out and around the house. These are my top dark denim pick. Super comfy with just enough stretch, but they don’t get too loose. I wasn’t 100% on board with these booties when I purchased. I liked them but I didn’t know if they would work well with jeans. Ummm they do and I’m in love! You do have to cuff the jean a little higher with this pair. I love the dip in front which is great for us petite gals wanting longer looking legs.
top | jeans | booties
A classic fall outfit. This top is perfect with jeans and will also work for the office tucked into a pencil skirt. You can see the front dip in the booties in this pic.
Thanks for taking some time out of your weekend to stop by and Happy Sale Shopping!

Date Night Outfit: Red Deep V Blouse & Link Up
Hello friends! Do I have the perfect date night top for ya’ll today or what? The color red is totally having a moment right now and is a current color trend. Although, I feel weird calling the color red a trend, because I feel like red is always in style. It’s the perfect power color to wear to stand out or keep the attention of say your hot date. 🙂
One of my favorite date night looks is subtle sexy. This red deep v blouse is so perfect for that vibe. The plunging deep v and little shoulder slits show just enough skin in the right places for a little sex appeal, but overall you are really pretty covered up. I always feel like people think sex appeal means show as much skin as you can get away with, but I love little peeks in just the right places.
This top comes in a few color options, but I could not resist such a gorgeous style in this bold red shade. Black skinny jeans were the perfect pairing to complete my date night look. I think this outfit would be cute if you were meeting someone for drinks.
Also, I love pairing booties with skinny jeans, but I feel like these pictures don’t show just how cute the skinny jean tucked into a bootie can be. My main tip is too make sure the jean is a more tapered fit at the ankle to prevent to much bulk and risk making the ankle look bulky. I still haven’t had these jeans hemmed, so that’s probably why it looks off to me. #procrastinator I don’t want to have to give them up for a week. I wear them too much.

Yellow Striped Sweater
Happy Friday!!! Anyone have any big plans this weekend?? I have another low key weekend planned which will be my last one for awhile, so I plan to enjoy every relaxing minute of it.
If you have been looking for a great long sleeve lightweight sweater to wear on weekends, I have found it ya’ll. I originally ordered this yellow striped sweater because I loved the shade of yellow. Once it arrived, I realized I could probably live in this sweater. It’s an oversized high/low fit which is super comfy, but the sleeves are fitted. Fitted sleeves on an oversized sweater is super cozy and comfy for me.
With oversized sweaters, I like to do a little front tuck to give the overall look a little shape. I made sure to shoot a couple photos untucked too, because it looks cute that way too. This yellow sweater is also perfect to pair with shorts (worn that way here) and wear on warmer weekends. Hello Texas fall! Also, I have to mention this sweater comes in a few other colors options too. I’m seriously debating the black and white one, because this is one of those tops that will be wearable for many fall and winter seasons ahead.
I paired this yellow shade with these cute pink earrings, because I love the pink and yellow color combo. I think the pink earrings slightly dress up this more casual fall outfit too.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! See you guys back here next week!

Gray Utility Vest + The It Dress of Fall
Happy Friday!! This layered outfit has been planned in my head for quite some time now. I just never could find all the pieces to complete my vision. Utility vests and jackets have been popular for several years. Each year I consider making the purchase, but wait too long and then my size/color combo is gone. I knew I wanted a darker gray shade as opposed to the more popular army or olive green. The darker gray utility vest is more versatile and much more my style. I mean I think gray mixes well with almost all the colors! Imagine it with a pretty burgundy, total swoon!!
Because I love a good layered look, I knew a fitted dress would be perfect to pair with a utility vest. It plays with the proportions a little and keeps the vest from making you look frumpy. Although, I kind of think my burgundy shift dress might look cute too if I tightened the waist of the vest a little to add shape….
Anyways, let’s talk about this black body con dress. If you have Instagram and follow other bloggers, you have probably seen this dress a million times in an array of colors. It is the It dress of Fall for sure! I was already in the market for a casual cotton fitted dress to layer with, so I decided to order and see what all the fuss was about.
I kind of understand the hype on this dress. Body con usually is not my cup of tea unless it’s Girls’ Night Out, but the ruching at the waist and crewneck neckline makes this work for a casual look. It used to come in an olive color, if that comes back in stock I would buy this dress again in that color. It’s easy to move in and comfy, and I have lots of long cardigans to pair it with this winter. 😉
Size Note – I sized up to a Medium. I ordered both sizes, and the small fit on the top half, but was a little too tight for daytime on the bottom half. I felt more comfortable in the Medium size. Some of the site reviews mention certain colors being a bit thinner. The black is not, it’s a good thick material.
Stay tuned to Instagram and Facebook (I’m trying to get in the habit of sharing on both!) because you will see both of these items restyled in some fall daily outfit posts!! I have big plans for both pieces! Ya’ll have a good weekend and thanks for stopping by this week.
