Hello Lovelies!!  Guess who is continuing her bodysuit obsession….  I think this blue striped bodysuit is so cute for summer!!  I styled it with my white skinny jeans and block heel sandals for a cute weekend date night look.  This outfit would also be cute for brunch or a girls’ night out.  You could go more casual with denim shorts and flat sandals.

These yellow statement earrings were the perfect compliment to the blue stripes.  My yellow earrings have been on heavy rotation this summer.  I think I might need to order another yellow pair soon just to mix it up.  I was so unsure when I picked them out how often I would wear them, but they pair well with so much!!  It’s the perfect pop of color against my dark brunette hair.  They are also super lightweight!

I have the busiest week ahead of me!  I’m so glad for my relaxing last weekend to help me prepare for all the things going on this week.  I have a few more summer outfits planned to share with ya’ll before starting the transition into fall outfits.  Our Texas summer lasts sometimes until October, so I’m still over here buying summer things.   I hope you all have a fabulous week ahead!  Check back Friday when I will be sharing a review of my current Fitbit!  See you then!

At the start of summer, I saw so many women wearing these cute button front dresses.  Living in the 100 degree heat of a Texas summer, I  knew I needed one!  I originally wanted a white one, since white is totally having a moment right now.  While searching , I found this gorgeous rose pink button front dress.  I love the earth tone vibe to it.  It gives a fun boho chic style when paired with my suede brown boots and saddle bag.  I added in my bangles and arrowhead white earrings to complete my boho inspired look.

You can change the vibe of this dress with a pair of wedges and a change of the bag.  You could also opt for a simple gold earring to create another cute and casual summer outfit.   This dress is so lightweight and breathable!  It was exactly the dress I needed for an outdoor brunch with friends.  You can also add a cute khaki colored or denim jacket to this look to transition this dress into fall or to wear during Spring.

I have such a low key weekend planned.  July was a pretty busy month for me, so I’m kinda excited to just chill and catch up on blog work.  The rest of August and September is looking to be a busy one too with a trip to New York planned, a friend’s wedding, and my birthday at the end of this month.  I’m definitely going to enjoy this weekend in case I don’t get another slow one for a few months.  I hope whatever you are up to this weekend, you enjoy every moment of it.  Thanks for stopping by this week!

Happy Friday!!!  How’s your week going?  My best friend and I hit up a local Houston pool yesterday to celebrate the start of my birthday month.  It was so fun having girl talk, frozen pool cocktails, and floating around the lazy river.  We both received some much needed sun too!  Today is back to the office before a fun friend filled weekend ahead!  I’m so ready for it!

This weekend is also the end of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, so I have one last NSale Inspired outfit for you.  This navy floral top is part of the sale, and it’s also something you can wear now in the HEAT of summer!  I paired it here with my favorite white skinny jeans.  Y’all I love this white denim so much that this is my second pair of this exact style!  I saw this pair was on sale yesterday too.

Ok back to this top.  I love all the colors in it, and I went with these yellow statement earrings to really draw out the shades of yellow in the top.  You could also pair with red or white earrings and bring those colors out.  The colors in this top make it work well with ALL the jeans colors!  White for Summer and Spring, Gray for Summer, Spring, and fall, Black for Fall, and you could even do a dark blue with brown boots in the fall.   I styled it in my try on session with gray jeans.

If you missed out on any Nordstrom Anniversary Sale items due to being sold out, this weekend is a perfect chance to check back for a restock.  I always find items coming back in stock as people start sending in returns.  Ya’ll have a great weekend and thank you so much for letting me be your Nordstrom sale resource this year!  I hope I was able to help shopping the sale a little easier for you this year!

Happy Friday! We our closing out the first full week of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Public Access, and I wanted to share one of my favorite fall looks featuring a few of my sale favorites.  Every year, I buy one splurge/investment piece.  I feel one of the overlooked parts of this sale is that it’s a really great time to buy those expensive designer brands and investment style pieces at a great discount.  It’s usually still a splurge price, but something to think about when you shop the sale.

These Stuart Weitzman boots were my investment purchase this year.  I have been dying for a pair of boots from this brand for a few years.  I fell in love with these when I saw them in the catalog that comes out a few weeks before the sale.  I then spent the next few weeks over-contemplating making these my big purchase.  After I saw them in store, I knew they were it.  Ya’ll I’m so in love!  The heel height is only 3 inches, which if you’ve been following the blog for a while you know is low for me 🙂 , but it’s a good boot height.  I love the slouchy fit, and the color is neutral perfection!  I plan to wear them with jeans and dresses in the fall and winter.

I also added a few more pairs of denim this year.  I dropped a size and needed all new pairs.  I went with these from Joe’s Jeans as my dark denim pair.  The other pair I have from the last sale held up well and haven’t faded.  This pair is so comfy, and doesn’t over stretch out.  I will need to have them hemmed slightly (which Nordstrom does for free for cardholders).  For $99 though, it’s a really good jean.

I like to add a few basic style tops each year.  A flowy white top can be styled and restyled so many different ways, so always a good basic to pick up.  I love the lightweight material of this one, so I can wear it on warmer fall days and during the spring.

All these pieces are such basics, but come together to become such a classic, chic, and casual fall outfit.  If you are still shopping the sale, don’t ignore those closet basics!  Check out my try-on session to see more of what I purchased.  Also, I’m co-hosting a $400 Nordstrom Giveaway here!  Thanks for stopping by ya’ll and have a great weekend!
