Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Dresses, Accessories and Jackets

View More: http://traciling.pass.us/carlylee

First things first, I’d like to congratulate Stefanie C. for winning the $1,000 Nordstrom Gift Card! AHHHHHHHH! It’s so fun to giveaway $1000!!!!! Stefanie, I can’t wait for you to go shopping! Purse on the left (here), purse on the right (here)

I have tried to be very discerning when it comes what I put in these Nordstrom Anniversary Sale posts. There are a ton of things I like at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but if I wouldn’t buy it for myself or recommend it to a friend/client/sister/cousin/aunt, I don’t post it. I’m a little fanatical about it. It’s probably the perfectionist coming out in me, but I consider it an honor that you guys trust my opinion! Anyway, with that being said, there were a ton (A. TON.) of black jackets that were included in the #NSale, but I am only going recommend two. 
Free People Drape Front Coated Jacket

I absolutely love this jacket! I love that there isn’t a ton of hardware on it. I love the waterfall front that drapes and makes points that define the waistline. I love that you can button it up at the top of your shoulder if you get cold. I love that it’s the leather and moto jacket look all in one, but it’s still sophisticated. I love that it’s super comfy, because the fabric is stretchy and allows for you to move your arms easily (unlike some leather jackets). Most importantly, I love the price!

My girlfriend was looking for a dressier black jacket that she could wear to meetings with a dress and also with jeans. She went with this one, and I love it! It has so many of the qualities I love about the first jacket (lack of hardware, flattering waterfall drape, button at the shoulder, comfortable), but this one comes in at the waist in the back, making it super flattering. P.S. If you are looking for a nice black blazer, I really like this one.

Vince Suede Scuba Jacket Vince Suede Scuba Jacket

I didn’t buy this jacket, but I so want to. If you want a splurge, this is it. The suede is so stinkin’ soft. The fit is amazing. The color is so pretty. It would go with all different kinds of browns and blacks. Oh gosh, I think I just talked myself into buying this jacket. I’ll have it forever, right? It’s a staple, right? HAHAHAHA!
Nadri Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

I love that Nadri is included in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. In my opinion, they make the best fake diamond stuff. OK, I should have said that in a fancier way, but that’s what came into my head. HA! Here are my favorites: Nadri 'Tattoo' Pavé Hinge Bangle

This bracelet is simple and pretty, with a little bit of edge (literally).Nadri 'Crescent' Linear Hoop Earrings

I’ve never seen an earring like this, and that’s why I love it. It’s so very unique. You can wear them when you’re casual or dressy.

Nadri 'Starry Night' Hinge Cuff

Do y’all remember this bracelet from the Mother’s Day post? Well, now it’s $33 dollars cheaper!

Illesteva 'Leonard II' 50mm Round Mirrored Sunglasses

Illesteva 'Leonard II' 50mm Round Mirrored Sunglasses

Illesteva 'Leonard II' 50mm Round Mirrored Sunglasses

Full disclosure, I do not need a pair of sunglasses (remember this post that was only two weeks ago?). Ha! But maybe you do! How fun is this line of sunglasses?! I loved all the fun designs in the line, so I tried them all on! Every time I tried one on, we were like, “ooooooo, ohhhhhh, and yassss!”.

SURPRISE!!!! I HAVE ANOTHER GIVEAWAY!!!! But first I have to tell you a story…

It’s after lunch on the second day of shopping. I’m tired, and I can’t wait to go home and see my boys. Shop till you drop took on a whole new meaning that day, because I stayed up until 2am writing my first #NSALE post for you guys. I had to! The shoes were already selling out! Ha! But you see, my bestie needed a dress. She was getting up in front of her congregation, and she needed a dress for it. She tried on all the dresses she picked out online, but none of them worked and she was feeling deflated. I could see it in her face. In that second, I woke up! I had this surge of energy go through me, because I had to find her a dress and she had to look fabulous! I don’t know what it is about me, but I love it when I see someone feel fabulous. It’s invigorating! Well, she tried on this dress…

Chelsea28 Flutter Sleeve Stretch Sheath Dress

….and I started freaking out! She looked so fabulous! So, of course, I had to buy it, too!

Vince Camuto Plaid Print Scuba Fit & Flare DressVince Camuto Plaid Print Scuba Fit & Flare Dress

Then she tried on this dress, and we fell in love with this one, too! This isn’t the best representation of the dress (I’m holding it in the back), but you get the picture. I loved the neckline on this dress and all the seams going down the front that create a little fit and flare action. It’s so flattering.

Now this dress looked fabulous on my photographer. So fabulous, I took a picture of her twirling in it for fun! This dress is super duper cute and cozy. The material that it’s made of is so, so soft!

For me, this whole thing is about seeing other people happy and feeling confident and encouraged! When we found those two dresses for my girlfriend,  I found myself wishing I could see you guys feeling the same way! I get so excited when you all send me little notes and pictures of yourselves! So that’s how this giveaway came about. All you have to do is take a picture and post it on FB or IG. For example: take a picture with your husband on a date night wearing the new jeans/earrings you purchased, post a picture of your new #NSale purchases that you’re excited about, or post a picture of the selfie you sent your girlfriend of the new boots you purchased, etc. Then all you have to do is two things: 1. tag me (on FB @cslstyle, on IG @cstyleblog), you don’t even have to say anything to me, 2. use the hashtag #cstyleinspo.  I’m not going to put a whole lot of restrictions on this giveaway, so get creative!  I’ll pick from your entries and give away $1000 worth of Nordstrom gift cards!

GOOD LUCK! I can’t wait to see your entries!

P. S. While working on this post I found out that these ear cuffs were not actually part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but I still wanted to share them with you.
Marchesa Crystal Ear CrawlersI have never been able to get into the ear cuff trend until…. now. I am officially participating in the ear cuff trend because of this specific pair. They are so sophisticated and pretty for an ear cuff.  Ear cuffs are usually very edgy, but these have just the right balance. Sold. I can’t wait to wear them to my husband’s birthday dinner this weekend. He will probably think they’re weird. HAHAHAHA!

    WELL. You definitely convinced ME that you need that suede jacket! YOU’RE RIGHT! IT’S A STAPLE! YOU’LL HAVE IT FOREVER! And I would like to add that it looks like it was MADE FOR YOU. Just my two cents. Love you, friend!

    Hi! What size are you wearing in the first jacket? Thanks!

      Hi Lindsay! I think I’m wearing a zero. It’s super stretchy so if you are in between sizes, I’d size down.

    I love those earrings! So unique! I’ve been hoping to find some square hoops, is that even a thing? A friend has some that are hammered and they are super cute but she got them 1000 years ago. Any suggestions? Thanks, Carly!

You see the brown spots on the hydrangeas in this You see the brown spots on the hydrangeas in this picture? It's kinda embarrassing to admit that they’re all I could see at first when I was cutting these hydrangeas from my yard- all the ugly brown, dry spots. As I brought them inside to throw away, I saw them all in my arms and thought, “Wait, these are really pretty all together. How could I just dismiss these so quickly?” Well, it's no surprise to me why I could dismiss them so quickly being the enneagram 1/perfectionist I am, but this was such a good reminder that if I choose to see beyond all the little imperfections in my life how much richer and more beautiful my life becomes! I hope someday I won't even notice those brown spots, but I also have grown to appreciate that God gave me an eye to try and make my world  and life a better place. I just gotta keep it in check and not dismiss the whole lot of hydrangeas for the little brown spots. This is a really beautiful, loving life if I'm looking for it.
I woke up to an email from @anthropologie announci I woke up to an email from @anthropologie announcing their tag sale that starts today (an extra 30% off sale items) and noticed that this jumpsuit I purchased and have not had the chance to post was part of the sale. When I don’t feel like putting together an outfit, I gravitate towards one piece outfits- like a jumpsuit/romper or a dress, which seems to happen more and more during this time at home. Putting together two pieces to make an outfit feels like so much work these days! Plus, I look fully dressed without much effort, and you know I like that. Anyway, there are so many cute one piece options on sale! Then, I noticed that so many items I found and loved during this same shopping trip are included in the sale! The good stuff goes fast, so head to my stories for links to what else I found!  #myanthropologie #sponsored http://liketk.it/2QXVm #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip
Any baseball moms out there? ⚾️ Although it’ Any baseball moms out there? ⚾️ Although it’s hot and downright uncomfortable to be outside on metal bleachers, I love it! Do y’all feel the same? And I have missed it! To see your son and his buddies make a really great play just gets my mom heart. I actually got goosebumps last weekend after a play. I know, I am a total dork. Now, I know from experience that if you’re not prepared for the games, you can get quite uncomfortable. As you all know, I am practical to a fault. So in preparation for my next few weeks and weekends that will be spent at the ball fields, I thought I’d share on the blog and on stories today what I think are the 7 necessities to enjoy yourself despite the conditions. I hope they can be of use to you during these toasty summer days outdoors! http://liketk.it/2QUiC

For the last couple of years, finding a versatile For the last couple of years, finding a versatile cover-up has felt practically impossible. Especially since ruffles, puff sleeves, and bows are where it's at with swimsuits right now. It felt like I was trying to buy a cover-up for every swimsuit (ummm, no), which forced me to put on my thinking cap. I finally found my perfect solution!!! SCARVES (aka sarong's)! I'm calling them scarves because I love the idea of using the scarves I already have in my closet as cover ups! Or wearing the sarong you have as a scarf! Not to mention, there are so many more darling scarves out there than there are sarongs and cover ups, and in my mind, they are just waiting to be used as coverups! Plus, typically scarves are less expensive! When I saw this darling rainbow scarf, I knew that I wanted to wear it immediately with this swimsuit top.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve linked a few scarves I'm loving that I think would be great as a cover-ups. I didn't have a chance to check the measurements on all these scarves, so make sure that they're big enough! http://liketk.it/2QzmV #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKswim #LTKstyletip #stylist #houstonstylist #styletip #swim #coverup #swimcoverup #summerstyle
I have a new trick! I don't know about you, but I' I have a new trick! I don't know about you, but I'm in love with a lot of these statement swimsuit tops that are out right now. But, I am not in love with the price tag! So, I've come up with a solution! I buy the statement top, and then I buy my swimsuit bottoms from Old Navy! Their swimsuit bottoms fit well, and it's fun to be able to mix and match! In this picture, I'm wearing a designer swimsuit top with my Old Navy bottoms. And since Old Navy has so many different cuts and styles of bottoms, you can find the right fit for you and mix and match the bottoms with your favorite tops! For instance, if you have a red swimsuit top, how cute would they be with blue and white polka dot bottoms for the 4th? Or you could pair your red top with the red and white stripe bottoms. I don't think it matters much if there is a little color variation. Once the swimsuit is wet the colors change, anyway! I'm so excited about this trick, I can hardly stand it! Can you tell?! If you utilize this trick, please tag me or send me a picture. It would make my day!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For sizing reference, my personal favorite are Old Navy's bikini bottoms. I wear either a small or medium depending on how I feel that day. But like I said, they have all different cuts for bottoms, so you can find the one that's right for your body type. http://liketk.it/2Qzjx #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip #LTKswim #styletip #stylist #houstonstylist #summerfashion #fashiontips #stylehacks
You gotta love it when a plan works out! I bought You gotta love it when a plan works out! I bought this top after I posted about my favorite tops for summer on the blog. I know that off the rack clothing rarely fits perfectly. I usually end up returning online orders and go on the search for that perfect top, but unfortunately, that usually comes with a high designer price tag, not to mention hours of searching. Now in COVID times, returns are more difficult, and I don't have the liberty to just go in stores to search for that perfect top. It's definitely giving me a "make it work” attitude, which is really working out well for me! For instance, this top was shown on the model with an open back that tied with a bow and a bra looking front (swipe right). I used a tack stitch on the bottom of the bra part to provide more coverage and wrapped the bow to the front so my back is covered and my front has more coverage. I paired it with my sister's (@tellittoyourneighbor) and my new favorite high-waisted denim shorts. They're a great denim short option for all shapes, and if you want more length, you can keep them unrolled. And I love how my new favorite @espacio_popupshop MAC bracelets tie it all together! Now, let's talk about how I really want to get a hot glue gun out and make a dope mirror like this one! I don't have seashells. I wonder what else I could use? Hmmmm... http://liketk.it/2Qz5I #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip #stylist #houstonstylist #diy #diyfashion #freepeople #agolde @freepeople @agolde
I love the changes I see happening in our country, I love the changes I see happening in our country, and I don't want them to end. I don't ever want to go back to the way things were. All of this progress feels so right. I feel it so deeply in my soul. I'm all in on all of this kind of LOVE. I want to be a part of the change, and I plan to do so in my own little way, but I am taking a cue from @beabridgebuilder founder @latashamorrison and pressing the pause button. I will stand in a place of awareness and humility and learn. But one thing I've realized that I've done in the past that hasn't been helpful is staying quiet for fear that, out of my ignorance, my words would offend a Black friend and that I would be corrected. (In fact, I would always say "African American" for fear that "Black" was offensive. I learned that's not the case.) My silence didn't help anyone. So, I go forward knowing that out of my ignorance, I will make mistakes and will unintentionally offend, but I won't let my fear and self preservation get in the way of trying to help. If I make a mistake, I can learn and say I'm sorry. I'm a big girl now, and I want change. If the change leads to me being humbled, I'm ok with that. I won't stay silent anymore.
