Hi everyone! It has been a little while since I did a blog post- things have been crazy around here with travel, visitors and now back to school! It’s that weird time of year when everything in the stores is FALL FALL FALL but we still have some pretty warm days so dressing for the weather can be a challenge. I find it’s best to layer. When all else fails, throw a cardigan on! Nordstrom is always my GO TO for new season essentials and right now, cardigans are where it’s at. They’re perfect to throw on when running out the door on chilly mornings and once it’s warmed up, you can just take it off! I am one of those people who are always cold so I usually keep my sweaters on all day BUT a cardigan gives you options! I have rounded up a bunch of my favorite ones from Nordstrom below. I just bought THIS ONE and love it- it’s so soft. You can never have too many- that’s for sure! Side note-how cute is this eyelet tank I found to go underneath? I am IN LOVE with it! I would say it runs TTS- I am wearing an XS. Also I can’t tell you how many times I get asked what kind of bra I wear under tops like this. So I will put the link here….I swear by these adhesive bras. They are serious game changers! How GORGEOUS are these pink mules? I am obsessed with the color and also the pearl detail- they are SO fun and unique! They are TTS as well. Cardigan $75 | Eyelet Tank $49 | Purse $890 | Mules $89 | Jeans $40- on sale! | Initial Necklace $68 | Earrings $62
Here is part two of my fall transition pieces post. Nordstrom is always the first place I go to shop when I am preparing for the next season. They have all the latest trends but also classic, timeless pieces which I tend to gravitate towards.
This time- I opted for a really nice olive green tank. I love it because you can wear it now-paired with cutoff shorts and sandals or later (like I have it here) with jeans and a cozy cardigan. Speaking of cozy cardigans– this one is SO GOOD. I love how it has distressing on it. I haven’t seen any sweaters that I have liked with distressing until I saw this one. It’s subtle enough that you might not notice it right away but the rips are definitely there. I also found these button fly jeans and wanted to give them a try. Given that they are only $78- I thought why not? I love the button fly look and the high-waisted style. These ones are great! The raw hem and distressing also pair really well with the distressed cardigan. Overall, it’s a super comfortable outfit that will help you transition your wardrobe for fall and will mix and match with a bunch of other things in your closet too.
A couple other pieces you have probably seen me wearing like crazy on my Instagram– this embroidered bag and these bow flats. I have been wearing and using them nonstop. Both are perfect pieces to transition to fall with. The colors of the purse go with just about everything and the bow flats are so unique AND comfortable. I have gotten so many compliments on them, it’s insane. Every single time I wear them someone asks me where they are from! I keep saying I need to order the tan ones too but I really DO need to to get on it and order them! They are just SO good.
I asked you all what you wanted to see and an overwhelming majority of you said you wanted to see fall transition pieces. So today I am partnering with Nordstrom to bring you some great pieces that will work well now in the late summer and well into the fall.
I am a long time fan of denim jackets. The trend I am seeing more of is the bigger, more boyfriend fit denim jacket so I found this one and loved the slight distressing as well as the price point. Be sure to size down, it has a looser fit to begin with anyways. I am wearing an XXS here. The tunic I paired it with is great for now and later. You can wear it alone now with jeans or shorts. I picked white jeans to make it more summer-y but later you can pair it with darker jeans, riding boots and a fun fur vest for a more fall feel.
I am sure you all heard me rave endlessly about my love for the “ab-solution” jeans by Wit and Wisdom. Well I am not done! I found that they also come in fun colors too. I bought three more- these white ones, olive green ones and a pretty darker blush color. They also happen to be on sale for $44! I stayed true to my normal size with these and love that they are slightly cropped at the ankles- perfect to pair with booties!
Speaking of booties. These are my favorite ones for fall. I originally got them in a darker color but exchanged them for the lighter color that I just love so much. The detail on them and the way they are cut make them flattering and unique. They are also very comfortable given that there is hardly a heel to them. Definitely a pair of shoes you can wear all day with no issues!
Okay here we go with Part Two of my favorite outfits from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Let me just preface this by saying this sale has been INSANE and pieces are selling out faster than ever! If you see something in your size and you love it- buy it because it could be gone in 5 minutes. I also want to apologize if any of these items are sold out by the time you are reading this. I am always checking for restocks of the popular items and will of course let you know if I see anything pop back up!
Now onto the outfits…
Adidas Muscle Tank Sale Price: $21 After Sale: $30 I am really into the logo tops these days and loved the muscle tank style of this one! It is quite oversized so I would recommend sizing down. Make + Model Joggers Sale Price: $29 After Sale: $45 These joggers are amazing!! I already own them in two other styles but knew I needed to have these. They are the softest things ever and a definite MUST HAVE item from the sale. I am wearing an xs- they run TTS.

Wit + Wisdom Jeans Sale Price: $44 After Sale: $68 If you have been watching my IG stories, you already know that I am swearing by this brand of jeans!

I am a 25 and got these in a 0 so I would say they run TTS.
