Today’s post is sponsored by Kohl’s and Shopstyle Hi friend! I hope your week is going well! We only have two and a half days until school is out for…
Thank you so much for your genuine enthusiasm over the Gibson x Glam holiday collection! You have no idea how thrilled I am that you love it as much as…
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.

How was your Monday? Hopefully, not too painful! I kicked mine off with an early morning workout and back at it today! I plan on eating ALL the good food…
Well that was a fun Monday! James was home from school for a teacher inservice day, so we made an impromptu day trip to Galveston! We haven’t been since Spring…
Good morning friends! I know how much y’all appreciate the posts where I show you how to take one item in your closet and style it several different ways. So…
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!
LOVE these outfits! Especially the bootcut. I think you have introduced them wonderfully to the blog world, and it makes me want to buy a pair! I always look forward to your posts with my morning cup of coffee and you never disappoint!
XO Melissa
That makes me smile to hear that Melissa! Thanks for letting me know!
I so enjoy your blog! You have inspired me in the outfit and home decor departments, and you have inspired me to get my booty into shape (literally)! I think the new hair color is sophisticated and pretty on you. I have dark brunette hair and got really light highlights a few years ago. I had a cry in the mirror moment when I got home and immediately drove to Walgreens to buy a box of hair dye. Seriously. I happened to run into a friend on the way in, and she complimented my hair. When I told her I hated it and was there to buy hair dye, she told me I should give it a week and see how I felt. I did –and it grew on me! Now I do lighter highlights in the spring and summer and then go dark again for fall and winter. I think it's a little jarring when you don't look like yourself and it takes time to get used to it. You are gorgeous with either color! Your blog is always a bright spot in my day!
I'm like you, the darker hair is growing on me. I decided to wait a few weeks before changing it and see how it looks then. Since you like the fitness posts, you'll be happy to hear I have some new fitness content coming soon. I'm ready to get back into better shape now that Jordan is 6 months old and we're on a pretty good routine! Thanks so much for reading!
Your hair has definitely faded since having it done. It really is a pretty dark BLONDE. Looks great. Love those boot cut jeans and the cute tank.
Thanks Lauren! 😉
Love that frayed shirt! But also LOVE your hair!!! It looks gorgeous!! Happy Friday 🙂
The hair is growing on me, but that frayed shirt I fell in love with immediately! I'm sharing several ways to style it tomorrow!
CAsual is always a great choicce and adding changing some accessories is perfect from morning till late night!!!
Agreed! Hope you're having a great Monday!
I love your hair- but it is probably a big change for you to get used to! Whenever I have changed my hair and might not be feeling it as much as I thought I would I will change up my makeup. Believe it or not this helps a lot. When you change the tones in your hair it won't always look right with your current makeup choices. I love thee blog and the outfits you post are always amazing!
I know what you mean! I can already tell my makeup looks different, now I'm ready to see how different lipsticks look.
Love these looks Megan. Such a nice read over a morning coffee. That plaid shirt is amazing. Must have. Xxx
Thanks so much Sara! Tomorrow I'm posting more ways to wear that plaid shirt. See you then! 🙂
Love your hair! Put that dish soap away! The new color looks so fresh on you! I'm 60 and love your blog!
Thank you so very much!
