Style A Friend | Part 2

Hi friend! I hope you’re having a great week! By the time you read this, we’ll be on our way to Kansas City, Kansas! I’m not the biggest fan of long car rides, but we’ll make it work! Maybe Elliott and I can do a Q&A on Stories to pass the time . . .

Style A Friend | Part 2

I’m excited to bring you Part 2 of our Style A Friend series today, see Part 1 here! We have a mix of outfits from Nordstrom, Evereve, Loft, Old Navy, and Walmart. I’ll share our Amazon try-on with you on Cyber Monday, when everything will be on sale! 🙂

Size Reference

Megan : I am petite, 5’1 and about 110 lbs. I’m wearing size XS in all tops, skirts and dresses and 25 or 0P in jeans.

Rhonda : Rhonda is tall with long legs. She is wearing size Medium in everything.

Ali-Shaun : Ali-Shaun is 5’4 with an hourglass shape. She is wearing size Medium in everything. Her waist is small, and her chest is large. She wanted to mention the bra she invests in to keep the girls up. She swears by it and they have a wide range of pretty, supportive styles in large sizes.

Jeans Outfits

Neutral Holiday Outfits

Rhonda | Cardigan • Top • Jeans • Sneakers

Ali-Shaun | Top • Jeans • Booties

Megan | Sweater • Jeans • Heels

We are rockin’ the neutrals (my comfort zone) here. Rhonda is in her fave Risen jeans and that fair isle cardigan is so cute! I like how she styled it with just the top button buttoned too.

Ali-Shaun loves a boatneck top and I think that bra is doing it’s job and giving her great lift, which accentuates her small waist. It’s the Mari jeans with a cuff to show a little more ankle on the booties.

I’m in these super comfy high waist, straight leg jeans. They are in a perfect vintage blue color and I like how they’re free of rips or distressing. I like a rip on occasion, but mostly prefer a more “dressed up” denim lately.

The v-neck cable knit sweater in an oatmeal color is exactly the kind of thing I like to wear in cold weather.

winter outfits with friends

Rhonda | Jacket • Top • Jeans • Shoes

Megan | Sweater • Jeans • Heels

Ali-Shaun | Sweater • Jeans • Booties

Oh my goodness! Rhonda’s cable knit and fuzzy sleeve cardigan is SO GOOD! It’s giving sporty vibes with the zip front.

Ali-Shaun looks amazing in any shade of green and I’m festive in the stitched Very Merry sweater. So fun for the holidays!

Rhonda | Vest • Top • Leggings • Sneakers

Megan | Sweater • Jeans • Booties

Ali-Shaun | Sweater • Jeans • Similar Shoe

A mix of black and white here. Rhonda didn’t want to change out of this outfit! The vest is sherpa soft and cozy with a zip front, pockets and drawstring cord. She also liked how it was cut higher on the side for a more flattering silhouette.

It’s a little hard to tell from my photo, but the sweater I’m wearing is so cool with a faux leather stripe down the sleeve. Definitely gives it an edgy vibe. I’m also loving the Pistola high waist jeans in black for a change.

Ali-Shaun is wearing the Kut from the Kloth jeans and really liked the fit. They have a high waist and shorter wide leg, but on her fit right to the ankle. I thought the sweater was great with the mix of black and different stitch textures. She’s wearing a Medium and could have gone with Medium Petite.

Casual winter outfits

Rhonda | Sweater • Jeans • Shoes

Megan | Sweater • Jeans • Booties

I never see Rhonda in red, but I love this color on her! The sweater is a lightweight v-neck and comes in several colors and stripes.

We laughed when we saw my cardigan because it looked like it could have been for Jordan! I could have sized up to a Small. But, I do LOVE my Paige Cindy high rise jeans.

These fit like a dream and are so comfortable. I like them so much that I also have them in white and grey. They have a comfortable high waist and straight leg with a raw edge hem. They fit TTS and are meant to hit above the ankle.

White winter snowflake sweater

Sweater • Jeans • Booties

Here’s a better look and the light blue color looks great with this fair isle sweater in these cool pastel shades.

Henley top outfit

Top • Jeans • Booties

I also liked this casual waffle knit top. It’s soft to the touch and the buttons dress it up a bit.

Loungewear

Navy hoodie and jogger set

Hoodie • Joggers

Here’s Ali-Shaun not wanting to get up from the couch! Trying on all these outfits in one day is very physical!

The loungewear is from Walmart and felt like something you would buy in a department store.

Dressy Festive Outfits

Sequin winter outfit

Sweater • Skirt • Heels • Wine Glasses

Time to get festive with some dressier outfits! I love all the shiny sequins for holiday parties. This skirt fit great and felt nice and soft on the inside with the soft knit lining. It’s a high waist maxi that simply slips over your hips with an elastic waist.

The white sweater keeps you nice and cozy, letting the skirt shine.

Red holiday outfits

Rhonda | Top • Pants • Heels

Megan | Top • Pants • Heels

Ali-Shaun | Top • Pants • Heels

I couldn’t resist adding those pops of red. Rhonda is pretty classic and traditional in her dress, so this blouse was perfect for her. The pants are a satiny high waist with a wide leg. You’ll want to size up one in those.

I’m wearing a pixie style skinny pant with faux rhinestone embellishments. I think I’d be more comfortable in these pants in a size up too. Same thing with the metallic top, but it goes perfectly with the pants.

Ali-Shaun looked so good in this outfit! Our overall consensus with Old Navy is that we wished we’d sized up one though.

Bow heels

Heels

Here’s a better look at the heels Rhonda is wearing. Perfect for holiday!

Shimmery shoes

Glitter Flats • Knit Flats

She also likes flats and these cute and comfy styles give you that added pizzazz, while still being very comfortable all day long.

Going out outfit

Top • Pants • Heels

I have to say, I’ve had these black suede pumps from Ann Taylor for gosh, over 6 years, maybe longer and they are AMAZING! Such a pretty classic style, not too tall, not too short, a perfect pointy toe and they have stood the test of time.

Most importantly, they are comfortable on my feet!

I can’t believe Ann Taylor has had them in stock all these years, but I just looked and they’re still in stock and ON SALE! They fit TTS.

Jacket Outfits

Denim jacket and bootcut jeans

Jacket • Top • Jeans • Booties

Rhonda actually wore this jean jacket over to my house and we loved it! It’s cool because of the soft color, but also because it has a raw edge hem at the bottom.

Casual teddy coat outfit

Coat • Top • Jeans • Sneakers

This longer coat will definitely keep you warm! It’s a chic style that comes in four colors. Rhonda is wearing a Medium Tall, and felt like she could have sized down.

Pajamas

Pajamas with the girls

Ali-Shaun | Pajamas • Socks • Beanie

Rhonda | Pajamas • Socks

Megan | Similar Pajama Top • Pajama Pants • Socks • Beanie

Yay for holiday PJs! We always save the pajamas for last and they are the comfiest things! Ali-Shaun and Rhonda are wearing the flannel menswear inspired styles and I’m wearing the waffle knit joggers. I actually got a matching set for Jordan too. 🙂 And gotta love the cute socks!

Cozy pajamas

Megan | Similar Pajama Top • Pajama Pants • Socks • Beanie

Christmas pajamas

Ali-Shaun | Pajamas • Similar Socks • Beanie

Megan | Pajamas • Socks

Rhonda | Pajamas • Socks

These soft knit pajamas are from Walmart and they really knock it out of the park with this Joyspun brand. It feels so soft and goon on your skin!

Nutcracker pajamas

Pajamas

I’m crazy for this nutcracker style, such a fun pattern and the plum color is nice and bright.

Green bags for travel

Similar Tote (this pattern sold out) • Duffle

Rhonda has the cutest totes and duffle bags! Her gingham one is from Tuckernuck and I got lost on their new-to-me website checking out all the homegoods and gifts.

I have the same Calpak Luka duffle in rose quartz, Elliott has it in black, but isn’t the green fun?! And they’re on sale!

  • Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2017 – Dressing Room Review Part 1

    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 . . . . .

    Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2017

    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.

    Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2017 Treasure and Bond Off the Shoulder Sweater

    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.

    BP slide

    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.
