Today I’m writing to you as a 40 year old woman! Happy birthday to me! I can’t wait to see what my 40s have in store and I welcome the wisdom and inner strength that is sure to come as the years pass and I delve deeper into who I am and who I want to be. I’ve heard from my over-40 besties and they assure me I’m going to love the 40s. 😉 Hope y’all have a great weekend! Nordstrom’s 40% off clearance sale ends Sunday, so you’ll definitely want to snatch up those good deals while they last. 🙂
I know most of the country is experiencing super cold temps, including ice and snow, and you probably just want to cozy up and stay warm. You’re in luck because so many awesome sweaters are on sale right now!
Free People sweater (50% off) | jeans | booties | Steve Madden fringe crossbody bag (33% off) | Kate Spade watch (40% off) | fringe pendant necklace | nail polish
Marled Forward Seam Sweater $22.80, $38 (other colors)
Chelsea28 Textured Funnel Neck Sweater $52.80, $88 (also in white- so pretty!)
Hinge Easy V-Neck Sweater $49.90, $78
Chelsea28 Eyelash V-Neck Sweater $38.90, $78 (50% off)
Vince Camuto Elvin Bootie $83.37, $128.95 (LOVE this bootie! It’s comfy and the perfect heel height for added oomph).
Jessica Simpston Arriel Bootie $49.96, $99.95
Vince Camuto Vala Bootie $69.47, $138.95 (This bootie is better for running around in since the heel is lower).
I find myself reaching for these types of tanks a lot lately- they are great for layering under sweaters and other tops.
BP Stretch Camisole $12 (240 postive reviews)
topshop tank $18
I snapped a quick pic wearing my new favorite tank I was telling you about last week. So love this! I’m wearing size 4.
Halogen Pleat Midi Skirt (regular & petite) $47.40, $79
Even though I ordered the 0P in this skirt, it’s still a tad long on me. It fits perfectly in the waist and I could wear it hitting a few inches below the knee, but I think I’ll get it hemmed. The quality is excellent and for the price, I couldn’t pass it up!
This easy-to-war Lush faux wrap dress is marked down 40% from $46 to $27.60. I have it in hot pink and black print and have worn them both many times.
Another reversible bag. I can’t get enough of these lately! This bright coral one is my fave and only $48, but it also comes in black, tank, cream, and white.
So much Kate Spade goodness on sale too!
1 | Sedgewick Lane Small Phoebe Shoulder Bag $233.16, $348
2 & 3 | Ivy Place Gabriella Leather Crossbody Bag $166.16, $248
4 | Small Elissa Tote $199.66, $298
5 | Hawthorne Lane Tote $198 (oops! this one isn’t on sale)

Thank you Jordyn! Did you find something special for yourself? 😉
Happy birthday, sweet Megan! I hope you're celebrating this weekend 🙂 I'm loving that coral tote and all the bright Kate Spade jewels. Soooo ready for spring!
Michelle, thank you so much for your sweet comments! I really appreciate it!
Happy Birthday!! 40 and Fabulous!! I love the sweaters but we really don't get to wear many in South Florida. The reversible tote is fab, thanks for sharing!!
Oh yeah, your weather is similar to ours, but we have so much more humidity! It will be bathing suit weather before we know it!
Oh wow, happy Birthday Megan! 40 never looked better!
I'll take it! Thanks Eliza! 🙂
Happy birthday Megan! You are going to love your forties. ..the only downside is it goes pretty fast after that lol. Wishing I was in my forties again! Love the Kate Spade bags. Have a great day.
ha! I'm ready to embrace these 40s! But that also means my son is growing up! That's the harder one for me.
Happy Happy Birthday dear Megan! I hope you are doing something fun and fabulous to celebrate! Great sales and fashion finds. I love the BP camisoles and have my name on the wait list for the Topshop tank.
Thank you! Did you get your tank yet? What do you think?
Happy birthday!!! love of items you'ce choose, you have a great sense of style!!!
I appreciate that! Thanks and happy weekend to you!
Happy Birthday!! I'm not far behind… hoping to be able to pull together "my look" in the next few years. You are a great inspiration in that regard!
Girl! I know what you mean. Sometimes it takes us awhile to figure out what looks good. I spent years trying different hair colors, always to return to light blond. It's a lot of effort, but I think it looks best after being every shade of brown you can imagine.
Happy Birthday!!! I love your taste in clothes. I bought that Kate Spade small Elissa bag in that blue color and it's gorgeous! It's the perfect size for me with an open center compartment and zippered compartments too.
Hi Leigh! So glad to hear your happy with your bag. I do love a bag with compartments inside. That's the one downside to my reversible tote I've been carrying lately.
Happy Birthday! You look fabulous!
Thank you for taking the time to say that Cathy!
