Nordstrom sale outfit ideas

The Nordstrom anniversary sale is open for public access today. If you have been watching or thinking about some items and wondering how to wear them, let me show you. I've created three outfits from the items I put in my picks, plus a few extras. Outfits #1 and #3 would be perfect for fall.

Outfit #1

Panacea Beaded Circle Pendant Necklace • $15.90
Two by Vince Camuto Sleeveless Waffle Stitch Cowl Neck Sweater • $45.90
TOMS Majorca Peep Toe Bootie • Toms • $59.97
NYDJ 'Ami' Colored Stretch Super Skinny Jeans (Regular & Petite) • NYDJ • $75.90

If the sweater has sold out and not restocked, you could always substitute this sweater, this sweater or this top for late summer/early fall.

Outfit #2

I've already got a similar tunic sweater I bought from Nordstrom last year and I've got boyfriend jeans in my closet. The scarf, bracelet, and booties are hopefully on their way to me and I can't wait to wear this outfit. I hope the booties fit. This scarf would work too.

Alex and Ani Wrap Bracelet (Nordstrom Exclusive) • Alex and Ani • $29.90
Hinge 'Villa' Perforated Bootie (Women) • Hinge • $79.90
NYDJ 'Leann' Stretch Slim Boyfriend Jeans (Regular & Petite) • NYDJ • $82.90

Kate Spade New York 'forever' Stud Earrings • Kate Spade • $24.90
BP. 'Autumn' Plaid Scarf • BP • $18.90

Outfit #3

Embroidered split sleeve top

Top- Macy's (sold out) option option option option

shorts- Old Navy option option

shoes- Lucky Brand option

bracelets-old option option

I'm much happier with this top styled this way vs the first time around when I missed the mark on an all white look. This top is proving to be a very cool and comfortable piece in this ridiculous heat. And I'm getting lots of wear out of these wedges. Are you sick of seeing them? They are just too comfortable, and with a 2.5 inch height, they give a little lift but aren't too tall to wear all day and walk in.

One more day until public access for the Nordstrom sale starts. You can see my casual picks here and my work wear picks here.

Neutral yet graphic

Blazer- Limited

pants- Limited

top- JCPenney option option

shoes- Ann Klein option

earrings- JCP option

bracelets- gift option option option option

I'm definitely getting my money's worth out of this suit. I love it's lightweight material and color. It makes summer more bearable. There is no limit to the way you can wear it, but this time I've paired it with a contrasting black and white graphic print top. I'm getting back into my bracelets again, and in particular, stacks or arm parties. I think it's Instagram's influence. I see so many pretty bracelet stacks on there. You just have to be careful with the size and type of bracelets if you want to pull off this trend in the business world.

Currently I'm... scrapping my wedding reception photos from 2005! Whew! 2005 was a whirlwind year of weddings, graduation, job changes, moves, and natural disasters for my family and I'm just now getting all of it into a scrapbook. When I finish this little album, 2005 will be finished and properly documented. Do you scrapbook?

Dressing up a striped tee

Blazer- Gap option option

Pants- Gap option option option

blouse- Banana Republic option option option option

pendant- old option option

earrings- The Limited (old) option

shoes- Ann Klein (old) similar

Grab a power suit and throw it on with a striped tee and you've instantly dressed up your tee! Not every striped tshirt will work, but a nice soft one with a fancy trim like this one does the trick. The one I'm wearing is no longer available, but I think this Top Shop tee with crochet trim would look cute peeking out from a suit or blazer.

Currently I'm... calling - my mother. I loved to call my friends as a teenager and tie up the phone line for hours, but now I hate to make phone calls. I do it as required all day at work, but at home I hate to make calls, so my mother is the only one privileged to receive a phone call from me. And occasionally the hubby when I need to communicate to him where I am or what's going on, and then it might just be a text. Are you into making phone calls and chatting it up, or do you communicate with friends and loved ones another way?

Hope your week is progressing nicely. Be sure to check out my Nordstrom sale work wear picks.

NSale work wear picks

As promised on Saturday, here is a round up of some Nordstrom Anniversary sale business professional work pieces. (See some casual picks here.) These will make great investments as they can be mixed and matched with lot of things and worn many ways. The tops are all available in multiple colors and prints, and most everything else (pants, skirts, shoes) have multiple color options. (I wouldn't necessarily mix and match the color choices shown here, but all pieces come in colors they will work well with items you probably already have.)
