#NSale Coats, Jackets, Blazers and Denim

I feel like the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a perfect time to purchase big tickets items, like a coat. So, I’m starting off this post with my favorite coats featured in the Sale. Unfortunately, the in-store #NSale outerwear department had VERY few items. I guess the silver lining to this is that if you’re shopping online instead of in-store, you’re not missing much!

Here are my favorite coats:

Have y’all seen a prettier coat? I don’t know what I like best about this coat– the color, the cut or the fact that it’s by VINCE and they make such good quality, timeless pieces. I love the hood. I even love the jacket completely open without the belt. And I love that it’s short! Oh, and it has POCKETS!!! Welp, I officially love this coat!

VINCE Hooded Wool Blend Coat


I’m equally as impressed with this coat. I love how expensive and classic this coat looks. There are no metallic buttons, big pockets, or major lapel that’s going to date it in the coming years. If you are looking for a coat that will stand the test of time, look no further.Avec Les Files Double Breasted Coat

On the flip side, if you don’t care about keeping a coat for years and you just want to have a really fun coat to wear, I love these:


I love a wrap coat because you don’t have to worry about buttoning the front. Just wrap yourself up like you would a blanket and give yourself a waistline with a belt. Sure does beat trying to button your coat over a chunky sweater. Plus, usually a coat with a fabric drape like this will fall into two arrows pointing at your waistline.Cole Haan Blend Wrap Coat 


This is the prefect time to buy a puffer if you need one because puffer jackets can be so expensive! I love my Patagonia puffer. Like, LOVE it! I’ve had it for over 7 years, and I just can’t find anything I like more. I’m always warm in it but not hot. It’s odd, actually, which is why I’m super excited quite a few Patagonia’s are included in the sale! It’s hard to decide which color or which style. For me, I have to have a hood, I like for it to be water resistant, and I like the less bulky look of this one. BUT, sometimes I like the big puffy look! Argh, so hard to decide.Patagonia Nano Puff Hooded Water Resistant Jacket

Here are a few of my favorite puffers included the sale:


I have a sweater coat I wear all the time here in Houston. Since we don’t really get extremely cold weather here very often, I find myself reaching for my sweater coat all the time. Plus, it’s easy to throw over most of my outfit. It has roomy arms to wear over my sweaters and covers all of me when I’m in workout wear.BB Dakota Revolution Drapey Boucle Trench Coat


Zella Long Hooded Puffer Vest

I think this would be the perfect solution for when it’s cold outside (but not freezing) and you have long sleeves that you don’t want to stuff into a jacket! I’ve never had a long puffer vest, and now I’m wondering why not? Ha!


I have to be 100% honest you guys regarding this jacket. It might not be the most flattering thing I’ve ever put on my body (ok, it’s not), but it was so dang comfortable. It felt like I was wearing the inside of my UGG socks all over my body, and sometimes comfort wins over everything else- even for this form fitting, flattering obsessed stylist.BB Dakota


I’m seeing lots of blazers being offered recently. I feel like they are everywhere, more so than usual. At first thought, you’d think you wouldn’t really get a lot of wear out of them with the stay-at-home lifestyle, but I have a client who says she’s really liking them to throw on over her tees for Zoom calls. Genius! Also, a great idea for when you are dressed in a t-shirt and jeans and you need to look more dressed up is to just throw on a blazer!

Here are my picks for fun blazers: 

L’Agence Blazer – I am wearing a size 2.

 

Here’s my picks for classic blazers:


My sister and I tried on all the denim we could while in the store shopping, but unfortunately, that wasn’t a lot. Here’s the good thing!! I’ve been helping ladies find that perfect pair of denim for over 8 years now, so I have some great insight!

I believe a pair of high-waisted, dark wash skinny jeans are a staple in a wardrobe. I can’t tell you how many times I grab mine. When all the other jeans don’t look quite right with my outfit, a high-waisted, dark wash skinny jean saves the day. Case in point- the day I shopped the NSale, I ended up wearing my high-waisted, dark skinny jeans after trying on at least 4 other pairs of jeans. I like this pair by Joe’s specifically because they don’t have yellow stitching, making them a little dressier and less causal. But, I mostly love these because I’ve seen this particular pair fit well on all shapes and sizes, AND I have a pair of “Charlie’s” and love them!!!!

Joe’s Charlie High Rise Skinny


My favorite pair of coated skinny jeans are my Joe’s Charlie High Waisted Skinny Jean in Burgundy, so you betta believe I’m buying this black pair! They are the perfect coated look and not too shiny, so I feel like I can wear them in the day just as easily as I can at night. Plus, they have so much stretch for coated denim, heck for any denim! They are one of the most comfortable jeans I own.

Joe’s The Charlie Coated High Waist Ankle Skinny Jean

Because I love Joe’s so much, I’m really curious about these “Honey Curvy Bootcut Jeans“.


If you’re petite and looking for a high-waisted casual skinny jean with a lighter wash and casual stitching, my pick is ‘The Looker’ by MOTHER. ‘The Looker’ is one of their signature styles. What I’ve found with most MOTHER denim is that the waistband is like wearing elastic. Unlike other denim that cuts in at your waist, Mother just stretches, so no cutting into your skin! With a 26 1/5″ inseam, you won’t have to cut the bottom hem if your petite!

MOTHER ‘The Looker’


But, if you’re petite and you have a great booty (read it’s your asset, not “issue”) and are looking for a casual skinny jean, I’d recommend the PAIGE Skyline Crop Raw Hem Skinny Jean. I don’t know what it is about PAIGE, but they specialize in fitting booties without flattening them or having a gap at the back. I love the casual wash and stitching on these, and with a 25 1/2 inseam, you won’t have to cut the bottom hem if you’re petite!

PAIGE Skyline Crop Skinny 


If you’re taller and are looking for a casual skinny jean, I recommend the rag & bone Nina High Rise because it’s a 27″ inseam. Although I cannot speak to the fit of the Nina High Rise, I really, really love the wash/color of this denim for a casual jean. And, I always like rag & bone’s pocket placement. I’m also extremely interested in this grey pair. It looks like a great grey that would match a lot of items in my closet.

Side note:

My sister and I tried on one of our favorite jeans, the Verdugo by Paige, that are included in the Anniversary Sale (we both have a pair and love them). The rip didn’t hit right on my 5′ 8″ frame, but I think they’d be great if you were shorter.

I also checked out the MOTHER Looker High Waist Skinny at the store. Unfortunately, I found the white thread that shows through at the rip and in the wash to be yellow. White thread with a tinge of yellow bothers me. If that doesn’t bother you, check them out.

I am very interested in the Farrah High Waist Skinny Jean by AG offered in the #NSale. Historically, Farrah High Rise is a winner on so many body types. Unfortunately, they did not have them in store.

If I was petite, I’d be hopping all over these jeans. I love FRAME, I love the color, and I love the edgy look.

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.
