Fringe Benefits

I love a good striped dress.  And with the slightly cooler weather here in the SLC that has been layering itself in with our typically hot temps, I have found that some evenings, it’s nice to have a light coat with me as an option.  Plus these tassel shoes. I can’t even.  I’m pretty sure they are my favorite purchase from the #NSale.  They are less than $90 and also come in black and red.  So if you are looking for a pair of really fun statement shoes, then look no further, my friends.  Happy Monday!

#NSale

If you didn’t know, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (aka the BEST sale of the year!) opened up to the public yesterday.  And there is so much goodness, I wanted to do a rare Saturday post and share some of my favorite accessory picks from the event with all of you!!  Happy Saturday and happy shopping, friends!

Flower Power

I am fairly short, at just 5’3″, but I have long legs and a short torso, so shopping in the petites department doesn’t typically work for me.  I normally just buy regular sizing, and if I ever run into a pant inseam that is a little too long, I just take them to my (amazing!) tailor here in the SLC.  So when I spotted this cute peplum jacket a couple of months ago at Macy’s, and the XS was too big for me, I was initially at a loss.  But when I noticed it also came in petite, I decided to give it shot.  And guess what?  It worked perfectly!  It was a great reminder for me that if I ever have trouble with regular sizing, that petites can be a great alternative.  So if you are on the short side like me, don’t forget about the petite department!

Pleats

I am loving the pleated trend this season.  And of course navy.  I don’t know what it is about navy dresses, but I am always drawn to them.  So when I spotted this navy pleated number at BCBG, I knew it was a great summer dress-perfect for a plethora of different occasions, and an easy piece to style a lot of different ways.  And those are the best types of items to add to your wardrobe-the ones that give you lots of options…

Field Jacket

I love a good jacket!  Especially this time of year when the temps are warming up, but it’s not quite warm enough (at least where I live!) to go without some layers.  I had been eyeing this jacket at JCrew for quite some time, so when I finally went on sale, I pounced.  It is a classic piece that I will have in my closet for years to come and lately that is what I am trying to focus on-making smart shopping decisions.

Neon

I love a good pop of neon.  And these floral shoes?  I can’t stop wearing them.  They are so fun and perfect for Spring-they might just very well be my favorite thing on repeat in my closet as of late.  But then again, I seem to be loving anything in a floral this season!!!

Second Chance

There is a funny saying floating around Instagram that says: “Nothing haunts us like the things we didn’t buy”.  And every time I see it, I have a good chuckle, because sometimes it isn’t that far from the truth!  Such was the case for the sweater in today’s post.  I tried it on at JCrew last summer and decided not to buy it (even though I loved it). And I have always regretted not purchasing it.  So when I saw that JCrew Factory released an almost identical version  a few weeks ago-I pounced!  And I am SO glad that I did.  Not only did I get a great deal on it, but it is such a pretty and unique piece that I know I will wear for years to come.  Thank goodness for second chances!

Buffalo Plaid (and your guide to Black Friday sales happening NOW!)

It’s no secret that I love a great plaid shirt.  In fact, I have to limit how many plaid shirts I wear in a week!!  They are such an easy go-to in my closet this time of year, it’s hard not to gravitate towards them!  So on the eve of Thanksgiving, I thought it was fitting that my 3rd and final outfit idea for you turkey day festivities was a plaid shirt.  After all, a bright red buffalo check shirt is the perfect festive look to wear during the holidays-especially when paired back to a pair of favorite leggings, a cozy fur vest, and some killer pumps or boots!
