Saturday shopping - Nordstrom fall clearance sale

Nordstrom is having their fall clearance sale. Here are my picks, all under $50!

The twill joggers are a great pair of pants to have in your wardrobe. See how I styled a similar pair here and here. Grab the Halogen side split sweater in red bloom and pair it with olive pants. See how well these colors work together here.

Get some of your Holiday Christmas gift shopping done. The Smashbox set or the Rebecca Minkoff earring jackets would both make great gifts. Speaking of gifts- these cashmere lined tech gloves would be an awesome gift.

Put together a holiday party look with these picks (the shawl comes in pink)

Sales are so much fun. Happy Shopping!

I'm still pleasantly surprised at how many options I have for this plum skirt. This blouse should have been the first thing that came to mind but it wasn't until I hung it in the closet that I realized this blouse would be the perfect partner for this skirt.

Notice something different? I'm wearing nail polish. I haven't done this in years. I keep my toes nails polished but stopped with my finger nails years ago. I never have time for it or time to wait for it to dry before I'm doing something with my hands. But... I recently became infatuated with grey nails for fall and for the last two weeks I've kept my nails done with this bluish grey color from Revlon. The hubby even thinks this is a pretty color.  (I paint them while I'm watching The Walking Dead on Sunday nights. I dunk them in ice water to set and then go straight to bed after the show. So far, no smudges or dents.)

This outfit is very similar to this one. It's the same two base pieces- navy blazer and camel pants. However, the shoes, blouse and accessories are different. I used an oxblood top and mustard bag to bring in more fall colors. I went with leopard flats. Leopard really goes with anything but I love it with fall colors best. Speaking of the flats- I have a love/hate relationship with flats. If they are dressy enough for work, then they usually don't look right with casual clothes. On the other hand, if like these, they work with casual, then they don't work with business attire. These ballet flats are a little more interesting than some, but after seeing these photos, I don't think they work with this outfit.

 

Anyone have any suggestions on a flat shoe that is more versatile?

Just kickin it

What's more comfortable for running errands on a Sunday afternoon that boyfriend jeans and a cozy lightweight  sweater?  Maybe your pajamas or sweats or workout clothes, but folks, that's not an outfit. It really bugs me to see women in the grocery store in work out clothes when they obviously haven't worked out in a couple of years and they are not on their way to or from the gym. Regardless of your size, there are better ways to dress yourself.  Rant over.

 

 I almost returned this sweater because it's slightly oversized with a curved hem and I really need one that's more professional so I can wear it to work and get more wear out of it. But this one was so comfy, I decided to keep it.

The only difference in this outfit and this one is the pants. I almost didn't post this, but I really do like the olive and orange combination, so I had to share it. Do you have outfits where you change only one thing, but feel like it's so different?

 

How was your weekend? I'm on a candy hangover. I'm going to have to hit the pavement hard and put in some miles to run those calories off. I really should just pick one lucky kid at the end of the night and give all the leftovers to that one, ha. The parents would love me.
