Transitionals

Summer to Fall, church to brunch.. it always helps to have outfits in your closet that can transition you from one thing to the next without bringing 12 changes of clothes or sweating half of your face off by 1 o’clock.

With Fall looks quickly approaching and settling in the stores but the relentless Summer heat just hangin’ around, it can put you in a pickle when trying to coordinate an outfit.

Enter: transitional pieces:

  • Lightweight cardigans or sweaters in colors that are light but trendy for Fall (think dusty pink, light grey, light taupe, muted blues, etc.)
  • Peep-toe booties
  • Sweater tanks
  • Simple and neutral dresses or skirts
  • Thinner ankle or slightly cropped pants/denim
  • Denim jackets
  • Chambray shirts

… and the list continues!

These items are also quite useful for different occasions during the same day where you may need to be a little more conservative at one location but can lose a layer afterward.

Some of my favorite places to find great transitional pieces are Nordstrom, Express, and Macy’s. Many times these pieces can also double as great neutrals to wear at any time of the year, which means getting more use for your money! What are some of your favorite transitional items?

Happy Sunday!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

As you’re probably well aware by this point, Nordstrom is having their amazing Anniversary Sale. The best thing about this sale is that the pieces involved in it are not old clingers from the Spring and Summer months, but rather new Fall items that have just made it into the store, giving you the opportunity to score some pieces for the upcoming months for a fraction of the retail price. Now, once the sale is over, the items will go up to full price, so snag your faves while you can!

I’ve done a haul and try-on session on my Instagram page, linked here– you can find them under my highlighted stories.

Remember that your size or color selection may get restocked if you have found it was sold out! Keep checking back in!

Also, the booties and the blue denim jeans are my picks for items similar to mine from this year’s sale. My Vince Camuto booties are a bit different, but the same shape and very comfortable! The jeans are actually a pair I have been wanting for myself, and are comparable to some I purchased a few months ago from Nordstrom. Lastly, the David Yurman-inspired bracelet is from The Styled Collection, which is not affiliated with Nordstrom. I’ve linked this as well!

Overall this sale has some fantastic deals! Even some jewelry I have seen marked down by $700-$1000, so if you’ve been saving up, now is a great time to splurge and avoid paying full price. I had to restrain myself because I want ALL the Fall clothes and I forget I live on the surface of the sun. Anyway, I hope this post inspired you and got you excited for the next season like it did for me!

All of the numbers correspond to the links to Nordstrom down below!
