NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE

It’s that time of year! Plenty of posts on Nordstrom Anniversary sales out there, so if you’re reading this… I appreciate your time and dedication to this cause 😀

I love fashion, I love sales, and getting things at a great price, so this is like Christmas morning for me! Another fun part of this sale is that it gets me SUPER excited for fall fashion. Sweaters, boots, scarves, everything! Because even though I own way too many sweaters already… if they’re on sale, it doesn’t count right?

Shop my top picks in the categories below for not only amazing savings, but also some great pieces to have for fall!! You’ll be seeing me sporting a few of them in the future 🙂

Sweaters are a staple for me in the fall and winter, but lately I have been trying to branch out in the color department. I realize all my sweaters were beige, maybe a few black ones, but almost zero color! So look out everyone! We’re getting crazy this year… and by crazy I mean some merlot and army greens in the mix. I love all of these picks for fall because they are perfect staple that can be worn over and over and styled in so many different ways.

I have realized that my pants/skirts game has been pretty weak when it comes to fall fashion. I usually rely on my torn jeans, and not that they’re amazing, and not that you don’t need another pair 🙂 but this sale has some great options that I would love to style this fall! They are great options to keep it casual, maybe with some simple sneakers, and even style it up a bit with some simple pumps!

Options are great to have, aren’t they?

Now, while sometimes I fight the need to wear a jacket, as I’ve grown up it has turned from a necessity of survival (living in the midwest) as well as a fashion statement. The best thing about fall is that you can get away with a light and really cute one! No parka’s necessary… yet. So check out these awesome jacket options that will keep your fall game strong, and warm!

Shoes, oh my gosh, shoes!

There is nothing better than a cute bootie. I firmly believe that booties are the most necessary part to a fall/winter wardrobe. If you don’t have 2-3 pairs that you have on rotation throughout the fall and winter? Now is the time to do so! Now, check out these beauties 🙂

Accessories are not something to be forgotten in this time of fashion. Whether it’s a good bag, or a scarf that you can wear with anything, I find a good accessory can be the cherry on top to a great outfit. And maybe your outfit feels a little simple? Add that blanket scarf you got from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Now you’re good to go 😀

LIVING IN LAYERS

… because it’s so cold, you’ll freeze otherwise :-O

Most of my day isn’t spent in cute jeans and heels. It’s spent in leggings! Going to and from the gym, running errands after the gym, you see where I’m going with this. And this is most people’s reality! As much as most fashion bloggers look like they are dressed in cute outfits every day, I’m not sure about you but that just isn’t what my itinerary calls for!

With the athleisure trend we are able to still dress cute and stylishly, but also functionally. When you’re leaving the gym, you can make a quick change to be able to look adorable while you’re running to do your errands, take a quick coffee meeting, or meet a friend for lunch.

Fit is fashionable!

A lot of people also like this type of style in their everyday life even if they aren’t coming from the gym! I mean, it is a great look! It’s casual, it’s cute! Why wouldn’t you want to rock it?

So how do you keep that trend in your outfits without freezing this time of year?! I feel ya! In Michigan right now we are currently under 1-2 feet of snow, and a good portion of my day is trying to kick around the snow so my dog can find some grass to… you know, do her thang.

I’ve put together these looks and categories so you can find the perfect piece for, not only your preference, but also your activity! Are you looking to work out in the gear? Or rock it after your gym session. We’ve got it all here!

Stylish

Cute pieces that are on the trendy side. Great pieces for those fashionistas who want to show their style outside of the gym

CUTE + CASUAL

Just hanging around the house or with friends but want to look cute? These are the perfect pieces for those laid-back days when comfort meets style

FUNCTIONAL

Let’s not forget the pieces that you actually want to work out in! Some people don’t live in sub-zero temperatures and can actually venture outside for their exercise. Who knew 🙂

Vests

Again, this is a foreign concept to me in Michigan winters, BUT nonetheless there are people out there who are much smarter than me and live in milder conditions. And if you’re not one of those people? Give it a few months and that pesky time between fall/winter and winter/spring is a perfect time to bring out your favorite vest for an extra layer of insulation

Looking for some great brands that won’t break the bank? A lot of the products above are from Lorna Jane, which is one of my favorites! They have such a clean, stylish look at an affordable price!

And I’m sure you have seen the commercials featuring Kate Hudson’s abs and a cute pair of leggings. I was skeptical when I first tried Fabletics for the first time a few years ago. But, you guys, this brand is going to just. keep. growing! The quality is amazing, and the prices are spectacular!! Keep an eye out for more to come between me and this brand 😉

A SWEATER DRESS FOR ALL OCCASIONS

Let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to wear a fleece sweatshirt all day every day?

I paired this look with some over the knee boots to make it a little fancier and a little sassier 🙂 But the best part about it all is that you are still comfortable!

I use the word ‘versatile’ all the time, but you cannot find a better word to describe this style! You can wear this type of look out for the night with the girls or a fancy date night with your special someone.

Or you can pair that same piece with some cute kicks and head on some errands over the weekend and head to a casual brunch with your girls on a Sunday morning.

I’m not gonna lie, it took me about 10 minutes to take those boots off, but it was worth it to show you all the versatility and different looks and feel you can get with just one piece.

Anabel Knit Over The Knee Boot | Kendall + Kylie | $225

CRUSHING ON BLUSH

Sometimes you want to look cute, but still wear your favorite sneaks.

I am all about comfort. So when I saw the trend of sweatshirts coming into style and new designs, I was all over it. Some that I have found are so cute and feminine, so you have more options than a tradition hoody. Yay!

I have to admit, I was not the one who found these sneakers. My friend (and bridesmaid) got a pair and I immediately fell in love. Not only the color but the style! Check them out on Nordstrom because they have several colors to suit your fancy.

This has become my go-to outfit for travel too. The sneakers are awesome because they’re super easy to slip on without untying (me – 1, TSA – 0) and the sweatshirt is so soft and comfortable it makes the tight airplane seats feel like they might resemble something towards comfortable.

Blush is not going anywhere people! If you haven’t jumped on the blush bandwagon… get to jumpin’. I’m telling you everything from winter coats, sweaters, shoes, this color trend is hot. And I love it! Winter will be a great time for this color because styles will darken it a bit to give it a dusty-rose tint which is a great way to subtly add some color to your outfit.

In conclusion: sweatshirts and sneakers are cute again, and everyone should invest in blush 🙂
