White Jeans, what to wear for the 4th of July

Another day, another gingham top. But you guys can see the obsession with it, right? Peplum AND gingham? I'm all in.

Putting the gingham print aside, this top is SO comfortable. I wore it just recently with denim shorts and Jack Rogers and I thought it was so cute. The top is really lightweight which is so perfect for the warmer days. It's like a really light cotton material.

I snagged this top (and these shoes!!) from Tuckernuck just recently and if you haven't shopped there before -- what are you doing?! Tuckernuck is one of my FAVORITE places to shop because their items are always so fun and classic but also totally different than other places. They have such. good. finds.

Fit and flare dresses are kind of my thing. They're perfect and even better when they're from the Nordstrom Sale.

This dress was a recent purchase from the #NSale (see the full review of it here) and I totally love it. I think it is super flattering, can be worn now and later and is a great price from the sale! It's also so so perfect for work.

Fit and flare dresses are pretty great on every body because they ecentuate your upper body in a form fitting way, hit you at the waist (your smallest part) and then go out from there. So if you have hips or not, it works. 

The material of the dress is also a little stretchy so it helps really make the dress fit everyone. It's true to size and you will not be disappointed in this dress! You can see my other Cynthia Steffe Dresses HERE (and you'll see I love this brand!)

How cute is this sweater! I brought it to the beach with me a few weekends ago because I knew it was going to get cold inside but I loved it so much I wanted to wear it more. It's so soft and really comfortable and you just feel good wearing it.

So I waited for the lead humid day to wear it and thankfully there was some wind because I won't lie it was a little warm under there. BUT I think the best way to wear sweaters is with shorts or skirts. There is just something that is so off about it, it makes it fun! Am I crazy?

PS this won't be the last time you see this sweater! I just shot a video with it this weekend and you might see it again on the blog next week :)

The #NSale is HERE for everyone! There are still so many great items in the sale and Nordstrom keeps adding more items every couple of hours (yay!) so be sure to keep shopping and check out the below for a quick guide to shopping the sale.

SHOP MY FAVORITES HERE:




Natori Bras, Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

These are the BEST bras (wearing the pink one now) and you seriously need to try them out! The fact that they're on sale is crazy because these are expensive bras and normally never go on sale!

Before you shop today be sure to check out my recent posts from the sale:

I re-shopped the sale this morning and saw they added a ton of new stuff! What?! Like this Kate Spade dress and this moto jacket. BTW they also restocked these boots! I was so excited I might have bought some more items #oops. There were just so many cute things I couldn't resist. 

COATS:
Pendleton Rain Coat (comes in yellow and red). This jacket is SO cute! First off, I love the plaid liner. Secondly, the fact that it's longer in the back is awesome. You need rain coats to cover the tush!
Wool Wrap Coat - After having such luck with my Ralph Lauren jacket, I realized I love wool coats and need more. This one is a tad more trendy with the collar but it's another closet staple!

Blue Wool Coat - You know I love blue anything! This is no exception AND its such a nice coat! Its the shape and style of the RL coat but in a much more fun color!
Ralph Lauren Trench Coat - Want the Burberry trench coat look without the Burberry price? YOU'RE WELCOME!
Suede Moto Jacket - I love that this is suede! I feel like moto jackets are going to be really big this fall and winter because I've seen them everywhere! Time to stock up??
Quilted Coats - So I found TWO that I really really love. First, the Ralph Lauren coat. It is really classic, comes in navy, and has really great leather accents on the shoulders to give it that equestrian look. Second, the Burberry Brit quilted jacket. Comes in the BEST colors, has a really great structure but is a bit pricey even on sale. Do I get it anyway??

Thought it would be fun to review my recent Nordstrom sale purchases (what worked, what didn't) today so you can see them on a real person, read honest reviews and buy something for yourself! Remember early access sale ends TODAY and the sale opens up to the public on FRIDAY!




Halogen Cashmere Sweater
Sizing: Ordered my size Medium and it fits nicely. It's meant to be a bigger/looser sweater so untucked it can cover the bum.

Price: $89.90 - marked down from $138

Thoughts: This sweater is SO SOFT -- I knew it was cashmere but I didn't know the quality of it. It's really really awesome. I want it in about 5 other colors because this is such a staple for fall. You can layer it or wear it on it's own. Really good investment and while $85 may seem pricey, cashmere usually runs $100+
Sizing: Ordered my normal size 6 (US) size and fits true to size (with room to layer)

Price: $99 - marked down from $149

Thoughts: I love anything Barbour and this has just been added to the list. This green color is really great for fall because it goes with everything -- camel, black, blue, white.... It's a heavy wool material so it isn't as soft as the cashmere sweater but it will definitely keep you warm. I LOVE how it looks with a crisp white blouse underneath. It's great to layer with.

Sizing: I ordered my normal size 6 and it fits like a glove! Totally true to size and such a flattering dress.

Price: $85.90 - marked down from $129

Thoughts: This dress is awesome. Already worn it to work this week and got a ton of compliments on it. It really fits so so well. I wish it had pockets (my only complaint) and I love the little bow detail. The material is stretchy so it really does hug to the body and the material of the dress is really lightweight.


AG Jeans
Sizing: Ordered my normal size 29 and they fit great. They are stretchy but do not stretch out over time.

Price: $163.90 - marked down from $245

Thoughts: I love all AG jeans so I might be biased but these are a really awesome pair. They are distressed in the right places, have an amazing wash on them and are super comfortable to wear. I say any time AG goes on sale, you buy them. I'm a jean snob and hate wearing any unless they are 100% comfortable and these fit the bill. I promise you won't be upset if you get them!

Sizing: I ordered a size medium (I have NO idea what my normal hat size is) and I'm sure I could have gotten away with a large. 

Price: $129 - marked down from $195

Thoughts: I think good fall hats are a one in a million find and ones reasonably priced even less. This hat is a great color and is so well made its really hard to pass up. I love it so so much but I'm on the fence of if I want to keep it because I have no idea how much I'll wear it. I work during the week so it would only be able to join us on the weekends. Very big internal struggle of what to do because I really do love this hat.

Sizing: I ordered this in my normal size 6 and I think it fits true to size. I know on the site it runs small in the shoulders but I did't think that was the case! I tried it on with multiple layers and it fit fine with and without them.

Price: $139 - marked down from $220

Thoughts: I LOVE this jacket. I'm always find myself in need of a nice camel colored jacket that can be worn dressed up or down. It's wool so I think it'll be great in the colder months and I love the length because it covers the bum! Ralph Lauren can do no wrong. 

-----------------
Not pictured that I kept:
1. These bras!!! I can't tell you how many girls have bought them off of my recommendation and then have reached out to thank me. They will change your life and are NEVER on sale. So buy them while you can because they are too expensive to stock up on otherwise.

Things I liked but didn't love:
1. This peplum top - it was really pretty on but I just didn't love it. Trying to save money because I went a little overboard with the sale and it just didn't speak to me. I would still recommend it for others I just didn't love it on myself!

2. These sunglasses (in pink) - I loved the shape and the frame color but the stark difference between the frame and the lens threw me off. I wish it was a tad bit lighter or mirrored. For the price (and for how many I have) keeping them just wasn't justified. 

3. These shoes - they are beautiful shoes and so well made AND they were comfortable. But they just weren't for me. I always tell myself I need a pair of navy booties but I just can't seem to find a pair that I fall in love with. One of these days!

Things I hated: 
1. This dress - it's cheap in more ways than just the price. You get what you pay for and don't waste your money! It totally see through and won't transition well into fall because it's literally paper thin. 

2. These shoes - I really wanted to find a great alternative for the Stuart Weitzman pair but these are so cheap I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I couldn't even get my foot into the shoe (ordered my normal size 8) and the color was totally off and not like the pictured. 

3. This hat - it was cheap and so floppy it just looked dumb. Maybe I just have a thing against floppy hats but this one had zero structure and I just was not a fan.
