The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Jeans and Tops

PAIGE 'Transcend - Verdugo' Ankle Skinny Jeans (Tari)

PAIGE 'Transcend - Verdugo' Ankle Skinny Jeans (Tari)

If you buy nothing else during this crazy #NSale thing (ha!), you should buy these jeans. Paige jeans are well known for fitting all body types. They are especially loved by those who have wonderfully curvy bodies (AKA you have a butt, unlike me -HA!). They are super duper flattering and uber comfy (they feel like leggings). Most importantly, they are a staple for the fall/winter. Dark denim can be dressed up or down and worn all season long. Plus, I have never seen a pair of Paige Denim for less than $100!

PAIGE 'Verdugo' Ankle Skinny Jeans (Aubergine)

Here is another pair of Paige Denim jeans, also for less than $100, in burgundy. I’ve seen burgundy in the stores before, but for some reason, it is full on burgundy everywhere this pre-season.

AG 'The Legging' Ankle Jeans (10 Years Recreation)

AG 'The Legging' Ankle Jeans (10 Years Recreation)

Now I have to be honest, I bought these and haven’t taken them off since purchasing them. This is the pair I was searching for at the beginning of the spring/summer. You know, lightly distressed in a lighter wash, super comfy, and can be worn with tennis shoes and sandals. Well, I didn’t find them until the middle of the summer, but I couldn’t be happier. I forgot how comfy AG’s can be. They’re so comfy, I can even wear them in this heat. But don’t worry, I’ll be wearing them in the fall/winter, too. They’re perfect for watching football and going to games. Who are we kidding? I don’t watch football. BAHAHAHAHA!

Hudson Jeans 'Krista' Ankle Jeans (Stormy Hor)

The grayish/black jean is my favorite. I don’t know why, but I like them better than black jeans. I think they add a little something different to an outfit. If you are looking for a darker wash denim for the fall/winter, these are great! I also like these.

Lush Zipper Leggings

Lush Zipper Leggings

A high waisted, thicker legging with a fun zipper that’s less than $28? Yes, please!Trouvé Side Slit Sweater

Speaking of leggings, have you ever seen a more perfect leggings top?!?! I could live in this top and the leggings everyday. Am I getting old? HAHAHAHAHA!
Free People Crossover Sweater

How adorable is this sweater?!?! My stylist eye is trained to look for tops that give women the illusion of a waistline, and this one is so unique! I love it! I am wearing a higher rise jean in this picture, but I think this would look super cute with a tight cami or a flowy tank/shirt under. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, head to this post.

Lush V-Neck Crepe BlouseLush V-Neck Crepe Blouse

This shirt has a little following of it’s own, and you can see why. It’s super flattering on, you can dress it up and down, you can sloppy tuck it with jeans, you can tuck it into your skirt for work, you can wear it out with leggings. And it’s only $27.90. I only have one stylist caveat- you typically need to wear a camisole with it (just wanted you all to be well informed).

PAIGE 'Mya' Plaid Shirt

I have to be honest, I had to be convinced into buying this shirt. My friend, who was with me, has two of these Paige shirts. I was a little miffed by the price for a plaid shirt, because I could get a similar one at Old Navy. But then she started telling me about the benefits…. It’s not a chunky/bulky plaid shirt, but instead it lays nicely and is flattering.  You can wear a jacket over it with ease, and it’s lightweight enough that you can wear it with shorts in the fall when it’s that in between weather. Then I came home and was trying my purchase on for my husband, and he liked this one best. Well, thanks G. Can you come shopping with me more? HA!

rag & bone JEAN 'Ainsley' V-Neck Sweater

I felt like I should go play tennis or golf in this super chic sweater. I don’t know why, but it made me happy. It’s like a throwback, but it’s still edgy and cool. I can’t wait to wear it with my new Paige jeans and these sneaks.BP. Hooded Longline Cardigan

Can you tell how happy I was to put this sweater on? I had just found an amazing steal of a deal purse when I came across this sweater! It was freezing in the store, so I jumped to try it. Well, it was the softest thing I had ever put on! I can imagine wearing this all fall long with all my new boots/booties. Did I mention it’s a steal?

Halogen® Rib Knit Cashmere WrapHalogen® Rib Knit Cashmere Wrap

Cashmere is a bit indulgent for me, so buying it on sale makes me feel better! For this reason, I decided to go with a black cashmere wrap. I bought a grey one last year and found that I wore my black scarf instead, so I decided to buy it in black this year.  
BP. Fringe Infinity Scarf

You couldn’t buy a statement necklace for the price of this scarf, and it serves the same purpose! Plus, this isn’t one of those infinity scarves you have to figure out. This one just plops right on top of your head!

BP. Fringe Infinity Scarf

PAIGE 'Mya' Plaid Shirt

I’m ending with this one, because all the other pictures are really serious! HA! This was when I was showing my girls my cheerleader moves. I tried out for cheerleading three times and never made it. I wonder why? HAHAHAHAHA!

    Love your blog! What color is the crepe blouse in the picture? It looks navy, but didn’t see that color as an option. Do AG jeans fit true to size?

    The grey/black jeans with the anklet zipper. I begged my Momma in elementary school to buy me anklet zipper jeans and she refused. My inner 12 y/o is so excited they’re making a comeback!!

    Hi Carly. Do you wear the same size in AG and Paige? I’m familiar with how AG fits (which I agree is TTS, if not a tad small), but not Paige. Thanks! Can’t wait to see the dresses you found!! 🙂

    Are the burgundy Paige jeans truly burgundy? Or more purple?

      That’s difficult to answer. I’d say the picture on the Nordstrom website is a good representation of the color.

    What size did you go with in the plaid shirt? Is is TTS or does it run big?

      July 26, 2016 at 10:19 AM

      It runs TTS. I purchase an x-small. If you are in between sizes, I’d size down.

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.
