Nordstrom Try On Session

Shop the looks from my Nordstrom try on session. Great pieces to transition into fall.

Happy Saturday friends!! I am finally getting around the posting a new blog post for you guys from my try on session from Nordstrom. I am IN LOVE with all of the pieces, all of them are so great to transition into fall! I am going to try and do more try on sessions for all of you, hopefully I can do one per week with some awesome pieces and of course great deals! I will try and cover all sizing information below, if you do have questions please feel free to leave a comment or send me a message. The try on session is linked on my instagram highlights, click in the instagram link at the top of my homepage and it will lead you to my profile. Hope you guys have a awesome weekend! We are getting ready to head out to my brother in laws 30th birthday party, so excited to celebrate with good food and drinks.

Outfit #1

Drop Shoulder Ribbed Sweater in Black, also comes in a fun bleu color. Love the fit of this adorable black sweater. Easily dressed up for date night or down for hanging out at home. Only $39.00! Wearing size XS, fits TTS.
Trace Studded Mule in Black I love mules for fall, they are so cute and versatile. The cute little gold studs on these give me all the heart eyes! These mules comes in 5 colors, some of the colors are sold out in a few sizes right now so be sure to grab your size in the color you want before its gone. I am wearing my original size 6, fits TTS. The brand is Steve Madden, my absolute favorite shoe brand ever, price is $79.95.

Outfit #2

Long Sleeve Tee in the color Grape Leaf, also comes in black. You guys have seen me where this already a handful of times on the blog. I am OBSESSED with this simple long sleeve tee. The fit is perfect, it is slightly cropped which I love. This color just gets me so excited for fall, I want everything to be this color! Price is $29.00 and worth every penny. Wearing size small, I can easily switch between a XS and S in more items so with this tee I went with the small so it wasn’t too snug and I love the way it fits.
Sultan Chelsea Wedge Sneaker in color Taupe Suede. I have never loved a sneaker more than I love these Steve Madden wedged sneakers. They are my absolute favorite and will be wearing them nonstop this year! They come in black and camo too. This shoe is so comfortable, wore them to a concert where I stood all night and my feet never once hurt. I purchased in a size 5.5, because my original size 6 was sold out. They fit but I will not be able to wear socks with them. I would definitely recommend buying your normal size. Priced at $89.95 and again these babies are worth every single penny!!!!

Outfit #3

Stitch Curve Hem Cardigan in color Green Botanical, comes in 6 adorable colors. Literally want to buy this cardigan in every color. I love it! It is longer, comes down to about my knees and is just the most comfortable cardigan ever. Wearing size XS but wishing I would have sized down to an XXS because this runs large. I would recommend sizing down. Price is $49.00.
Violet Genuine Calf Hair Mule Okay, if you ladies buy one thing for fall it should be these shoes! I mean seriously, I love love love these! The leopard print is so cute and surprisingly pairs easily with so many of my favorite fall pieces. These are a must get in my book! Price is $99.95. These were one of the first things to sell out during the anniversary sale and I am so happy that they have been fully restocked! Wearing size 5.5 because my original size 6 sold out QUICK, the 5.5 fits but would have preferred the 6. I would recommend getting your normal size.

Jeans shown in all three outfits

Emma Raw Hem Ankle Skinny Jeans The best jeans I have ever purchased shown in all three pictures above. I love a good pair of jeans, I just love jeans in general if I could live in jeans I would. The light wash on these is perfection and the fit is even better. Wearing them in a size 26, my normal size and they fit great. These are the first pair of ankle skinny jeans that I have ever purchased where I didn’t have to roll the bottoms up because I am only 5’2. That was the best surprise ever!! If you are petite I highly recommend these jeans, they are fantastic! Price is $65.00, such a great deal for jeans!

They pair perfectly with this ruffle trim tank that I also recently purchased from Shein. I’m sure you’ve seen this tank before on the blog, probably because I am obsessed with it.

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We had such a good day playing outside, swimming and of course eating a ton of food. Beckham is a little daredevil always keeping us on our toes. He’s not even two yet and loves to run and jump off the driving board. Pretty sure my heart stops every time he does it. He’s getting so big so fast, I swear no one ever warned me how fast time goes by after you have kids. Every time I come home from work he has learned a million new things, wishing time would slow down a little bit. My husband bought him his first bike yesterday, it is so cute trying to teach him how to pedal. He’s not really sure how it works but I’m sure he’ll catch on any minute and i’ll be running down the street trying to catch him. Do you guys feel like time flies so fast once you have kids too? Honestly, when I was in high school I never felt like time was flying by me. Anyway, have to hop off of here and make dinner. Leave a comment below and let me know what fun things you and your family did for the 4th!

You guys, this dress is SO CUTE! When I saw this pretty little thing on Shein.com, I instantly fell in love. The tiered look is absolutely adorable, all the heart eyes for sure! Green is usually just one of those colors that i’m not drawn to, I barely own anything green so I was a little hesitate to purchase this color but I am so happy I did. Green and white stripes are the perfect summer combo. However if you are looking for another color option, they do have 5 other colors and patters to choose from! I may have to order a few more of these babies. The sleeves are ruffled and the back has a little keyhole with a pretty little white pearl button. This dress is just adorable all around. I am wearing a size small, it runs TTS. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the BEST part! This dress is on sale for $13!!! The other color options are listed at $16. So whichever color you go with you are getting a great deal.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Our weekend has been great, especially our Sunday fun day. My sister and I had some girl time together today which is always nice. We went downtown and did a really fun photoshoot for you ladies! I can’t wait for you guys to see all the outfits I have to show you this week, the cutest stuff for summer plus amazing prices!! After the photoshoot we ate at one of your favorite little restaurants rights on the lake. I’m still thinking about how good my chicken quesadilla was, yum!! While the girls were away, the boys had a pool day and had a ton of fun too. So it really has been a good day for everyone. It is in the 90’s this weekend so the pool has been a must for all of us! I hope you guys had a fun weekend too, leave a comment below and let me know what fun plans you had this past weekend! Happy 4th of July week, hope everyone enjoys their holiday!
