Saturday Shopping: Pre-Fall at Nordstrom

February 22, 2016August 21, 2013

I went shopping at Nordstrom last week for a skirt, but of course I had to try on a few tops and jackets while I was in there. I found an awesome skirt by Halogen, but they did not have the pattern that I wanted in the store so I ordered the quilted version online. I really love it and if I was working in an office everyday and planning to stay this size, I’d probably buy every color. They have 8 colors and 2 patterns!

I tried on a few cut out tops that drew me in and I feel in love with these jeans jackets in mint and camo from KUT from the Kloth. The camo one is on sale for 50% and the mint jean jacket is 60% off. I might just have to order the camo one online since Nordstrom only had XS left. I am wearing a medium jacket now. The black & white stripe dress is mine. I bought it at Sam’s Club. It is soooo comfortable!

Black & White Outfits

Black & white outfits are so easy to put together that I often forget about them. Everyone has black and white pieces in their wardrobe that will make being in style this fall pretty easy. I chose gray accessories because it is a little more unexpected than basic black accessories. If you do not own gray shoes, black would great with this as well. I love gray shoes as they work with more colors than black, like navy, orange, and yellow.

Fall Trend Quilted Skirts

February 22, 2016August 13, 2013

This is the start of my shopping for fall. I found an amazing quilted skirt at Nordstrom that is completely on trend and totally wearable. I am working on getting thinner after having my baby so I need some clothing for my transition period. I adore this Quilted Front Ponte Knit Pencil Skirt by Halogen because of the side panels that creates a slimming effect and also the fabric is stretch and comfortable. I took a cue from the Fall Ready to Wear Runways in purchasing this versatile black skirt. Quilted skirts were found on the Fall 2013 Ready to Wear Runway of: 3.1 Phillip Lim, Rebecca Taylor, Michael Kors, See by Chloe, and Rag & Bone.

Wedge Sneakers

The wedge sneaker trend is being seen everywhere on celebrities and bloggers alike. I’ve had a pair of red converse style wedge sneakers for roughly 10 years that I bought at Payless so I was well ahead of the curve. 😉 They have held up because I take care of them and don’t wear them that often. When I saw wedge sneakers reappear, I decided to give it another try. Once I put them on my foot, I feel in love! Right now, at 25 weeks pregnant, wearing heels is just not happening for longer than 20 minutes. The wedges sneakers allow me to gain some height in comfort.

Wrap Dresses During Pregnancy

February 22, 2016March 11, 2013

Wrap dresses are a lifesaver during pregnancy. I have been searching my closet for outfits that I can still wear in my 21^stweek and beyond. This wrap dress has stood the test of time! It was purchased at Target in 2006. That is pretty amazing. I have hand washed it so that it would last longer. I have worn it to work on countless occasions. The wrap belt used to hit at my natural waist, but now it is an empire waist. I’m not complaining just pointing out the change. If you are looking for outfits that can be worn during and after the baby is born, look for wrap dresses with material that gives a little.
