New Year’s Eve Dresses
__________________
Hey, hey, hey fashion luvahs! Today is our day!! I’m sure I don’t have to remind you that Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale starts today! It’s the biggest sale of the year,…
Yesterday I shared my 10 must-have jewelry items and today it’s all about the shoes! I definitely have boots and booties on repeat during the Fall and Winter, but I’m…
Hey friends! I’m sure I don’t have to tell you twice that it’s an exciting day for all of us fashion lovers! I know y’all are just as excited about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale as I am! And I’m so happy you’re here to shop with me! #itsmorefunwithfriends! Cue the champagne, cheers and confetti!!! I actually did have mimosas while I shopped the sale early yesterday and can I tell you- shopping is even more fun with a little side of bubbly! #youknewthat! I think they wanted to get me drunk so I’d shop my face off. As if I needed liquid courage for that! I hope you are at home or work (shh, I won’t tell!) shopping online, because I’m sure the store is crazy packed today and I wouldn’t want to fight the traffic or dressing rooms today of all days!
And, if you aren’t quite sure what all the fuss is about, it’s okay, I’m happy to fill you in! The Nordstrom Anniversary sale is THE SALE with all the NEW fall fashion goodness that is just released, but at slashed prices for three weeks, then they go up to full-price. The things that are on sale now are the things you will be itching to wear the minute the slightest hint of a cool front hints- and actually even a few things you could get away with wearing now. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens today for cardholders, (get a card here and shop today) but don’t worry, if you don’t have a card, you can start shopping next Friday! Mark your calendars to come back here, because I will have more to share!
At the store yesterday, I found so much to share with you that I’m breaking it into two posts. I’ll be back tomorrow with the second half. This post is already super long, so I tried to keep my commentary brief and informative! Maybe go ahead and pour yourself that mimosa, I’ll wait . . . . .
Top (XSP) ⋅ Boyfriend Jean Shorts (size down, 24) ⋅ Sandals TTS ⋅ Halogen Leather Cuff Bracelet $38 now, $59 after sale
First up, I’ve been aching for a new pair of jeans and was specifically excited to try the much-loved AG skinny jeans. I’ve read the rave reviews about this quality, designer jean with a flattering fit, so that’s one of the first things I reached for! This pair is with a raw hem delivered and will make you look like a skinny mini! They fit TTS, but of course were a little long on me. The alterations lady actually said I could just cut the hem at home with scissors so that’s what I plan to do. Her only tip: be sure to cut a straight line!
This off-shoulder top sure ups the game on your grandpa’s flannel shirt! It’s super soft and cozy, and the off-shoulder/long sleeves are an awesome combo. I tried on XS and it fit fine, but the petite would probably be better. It also comes in pink and I think I need that one too! You know I’m going to recommend my all-time favorite strapless bra and I couldn’t believe our good fortune when I saw the PERFECT T-Shirt bra included in the sale. Remember the one I was giddy to find that’s wireless and seamless with good lift. Yep, it’s on sale for $39, $60 after the sale.
AND, my very favorite seamless panties that stay in place all day and are ultra comfortable, so much so that you’ll forget you’re wearing them. Those panties are in the sale for only $13, $19 after the sale. I’m thrilled to see more colors like pink and aqua- they only had tan, black and brown before.
Two by Vince Camuto Off Shoulder Plaid Blouse $58 now, $89 after sale ⋅ AG The Legging Raw Hem Ankle Skinny Jean (25, TTS) $149 now, $225 later ⋅ B.P. Tale Slide $49 now, $80 after sale
Of course I was anxious to try on boots and booties, but this suede slide is one of the pairs of shoes I loved the most. It fit the most comfortably and the suede is buttery soft.
Right away I was smitten with the cowl neck sweater vest. The waffle fabric is thick and the baby pink is really pretty. It’s got small v-cuts on the side and isn’t the pocket a fun detail? A tight turtleneck isn’t usually my thing, but I love the looser cowl neck style.

Good morning friends! Well, more like mid-morning! I’m a little late getting today’s post out because I took some time off to celebrate our sweet Jordan’s 2nd birthday!! We had…
Happy Hump day friends! I’ve been in such a funk the past couple days because I haven’t slept well, and man, can that really mess you up! Getting good rest…
Good morning beauties! I’m GIDDY about today’s post because I love giving back to YOU! Just wait ’til you hear these details! It’s the most wonderful time of the year for…
Hi! I’m Megan, mom to a thoughtful teenager and spunky young girl. We call Houston home and recently moved into our dream home. I traded my lawyer hat to become a full-time blogger in 2010. I love sharing my passion for affordable fashion, home decor, organization, & fitness to help inspire you to take care of you!
I loved the lace fit and flare and the 3 tiered dress, but honestly, you looked great in them all!
Thanks so much Kathy! Happy New Year to you!
How in the world are you ever going to choose? I feel like all of these dresses deserve to stay in your closet. I literally can't pick a favorite.
You are too sweet Ashley! I wore the black sleeveless one! It felt great on and I know I'll get to wear it again!
The spaghetti strap dress with sequins looks amazing on you!!! It's totally unexpected from your usual style, and I love it.
And the white dress with short sleeves looks like it's made for you 😉
Thanks so much Steffi! I appreciate your feedback!
Your son cracked me up last night on Instastories! And your reaction!
You look amazing in the sparkly dress!
Stories is a fun way to interact! Thanks for popping in!
You look great in all the dresses, but I love, love, love the white short sleeve. It look's fantastic! #2 would be the black tiered that you love also. Have a great Christmas.
Thanks so much Karen! Happy new year!
Not a fan of the black tiered but agree with Steffi that the sequin spaghetti strap is gorgeous on you and more unusual.
I like the other sequin dress too, but it certainly takes no prisoners!
I saw someone sew up the top a little to make it less plunging. Great idea!
All of them are great! I vote for the sequin blouse dress with spaghetti straps, the jumpsuit or the fit and flare with purple skirt!
Lots of good options! Not enough parties!
Love all of the black options! It's fun to have a reason for a new fancy dress. They all look great!

Thanks so much Megan! Hope your year is off to a great start!
The fit and flare dress is so pretty–such a '50's throw-back look (that I'm obsessed with). How fun! Can't wait to see which one you go with!

I don't normally go for color so that was a fun one to try on!
They all look great on you, but I love, love, love the sequined, spaghetti strap dress on you. The neckline is so flattering and it looks totally different than what we normally see you in.
Dang! I should've kept that one! I ended up wearing the first, sleeveless one. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
You look incredible in ALL of these dresses!!! Wishing you the Merriest of Christmas's and a fabulous NYE out!!!❤️
Thanks so much Aubrey! You too!
So many great options!! You look beautiful in them all!
Thanks so much Jessica! I really appreciate that! Happy 2017!
You rock all of these dresses and the jumpsuit! Dang, I wish I had boobs!! I especially loved the sequin blouse dress on you! GORGEOUS!
Thanks so much! Sometimes I have the opposite problem and wish mine were smaller! 😉
Sequin blouse dress! Love the fit and and everything about it!
Thanks Erica, makes me rethink returning that one!
So beautiful!
