Ya'll, I'll admit I've had a difficult time getting into the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. Everyone says it's one of the best ones ever, but I've been seeing everyone's picks and posts and I've not been overly impressed.  It's just that it's so hot here, and we may be wearing shorts into October, it's hard for me to even fathom that I need anything for fall.

Are you tired of seeing the same ol' thing over and over? I am. Just sayin. I know there are some popular items we all like, but I get tired of seeing them. But I will admit that the more I see the posts and the more I search the website, the more things grow on me. So I've been searching for some things that can be worn early fall in the South and layered later in the winter. I've also tried to pick some things that haven't been posted over and over, and I kept it under $100. I don't know about your, but some things just aren't in my budget, even on sale.

 I will also be sharing a business professional set of picks later, so make sure you are following me so you won't miss it. There truly are lots of great items out there and it's hard to stick them all in one post.

It's a great time to stock up on some classics and basics or dip your toes into a trend. The skinny neck scarf is coming onto the scene, so now might be a good time to give this trend a try. They have one in a floral print too. If you need boots, buy them now. I bought my cognac riding boots last year, so I don't need any this year. I've got the boots covered with a cognac pair, black pair, and a couple of heeled pairs for work. That's another reason I can't get into the sale- I've got most of my basics covered.

We are in the early access phase so you need a Nordstrom debit or credit card to shop. Sign up here.

 Happy Shopping!

Plaid shirt- four ways





Happy Monday! I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day, and if you have today off as well, go do something fun!

I thought it was due time for a remix post so I'm sharing four ways I've worn my red plaid shirt. You can do this with any color plaid, just change up the color scheme of your other pieces.

1. Layer with a graphic sweater (original post)


2.  With jeans and a statement necklace. (original post)


3.  With a vest and booties. (original post)


4.  Under a sweater and vest. (original post)

Olive and plaid




sweater- JCP   option
jeans- Loft   option
scarf- Asos  option  option  option
boots- Nordstrom  option   option
bracelet- JCP  option   option
worn Jan. 17, 2016
 
How do you stay warm without over layering? Add a blanket scarf. I recently picked up this olive (oregano) high/low tunic sweater from JCPenney with a gift card and I knew my blanket scarf would be the perfect match. The sweater is pretty great on its own- vneck, super soft and longer in the back.  I 've seen my blanket scarf lying next to my olive utility vest and loved how it looked against olive (an outfit with those two pieces is coming too).  I also love the contrast of cognac boots against black. I'm pretty sure there was a day that I would not have worn brown on black, but I love it now.
 
My only complaint about a blanket scarf is that it doesn't work well with my hair. It's not long enough to flow over nor short enough to stop short of so it kind of just bubbles up on top of the scarf. Oh well- just something I'll tolerate for a while. There was too much going on around my face with the hair and scarf, so no earrings. I opted for a chunky bracelet to accessorize a little more.

Plaid and fur

Have plaid and fur become synonymous in the fashion world, like plaid and fall or winter? It's a likely pairing you will see on any given fashion blog, at least the plaid shirt and a vest of some type. I've paired my faux fur vest with a plaid dress and riding boots. It was perfect for a church on a cool Sunday and for attending a baby shower that afternoon.

Ugly Christmas sweater

We had an Ugly Christmas Sweater party with our Sunday School class this past Sunday. I just can't do totally ugly Christmas sweaters, especially when part of the event is in public. Truthfully, I think all Christmas sweaters are ugly, but some are worse than others. I did find this one that had a little fun factor to it on clearance at Belk's, so I played along. I wanted to pair this with boots, but it was too hot for even the sweater, so I went with plaid flats.
