    Last Chance on a Few Sale Favorites

    Fashion, Style by louise

    Y’all, we are down to the last week of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and while there may be a lot of styles out of stock, there are still a few favorites that have been restocked. I am sharing two dresses I absolutely love that can be beautiful outfits for any event and I picked up at Nordstrom.

    If you see me wearing a few more pieces from Nordstrom later on the blog, just know that I am still planning on doing a little more shopping before the sale ends.

    The first dress is one I absolutely LOOOOOOVE and wore to a wedding a couple weeks back.  I am most likely going to be taking it with me when we go to Costa Rica in another few weeks. It is the perfect cocktail / any event dress and the lace pattern adds an extra touch of femininity to the look. It comes in seven colors (even in navy ink…lol)!

    Dress: Astr the Label (originally $89, now $58.99) ; Shoes: Clear Strappy Sandals (under $100) ;  Bag: Chain Stone Covered Clutch  ($75)

    This next dress is a Rachel Parcell dress which is so light with an inner lining. I love all her dresses because it is well made and the pastel colors are so complementary on anyone. The puffed sleeves are gorgeous and the tie can be wrapped around the waist twice for a different look. I almost felt like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz wearing this dress (minus the bright red shoes, of course ;))!  This look can easily double as a picnic dress, office wear and even a fun day out! I really wished I had waited a tad longer to get it on sale but y’all can still get this dress which is currently in stock and marked 40% off.

    I have also linked below a few more of my favorites from the Nordstrom Sale that are still in stock and I will be shopping for in a little bit!

    Dress: Rachel Parcell Gingham Puff Sleeve dress (originally $155, now 40% off at $92.90) ; Shoes: Antonio Melani Leather Wedge Sandals ($66) ; Bag: Talia Round Rattan Crossbody ($88)

    Work Wear Mondays: The Pretty Lace Blue Dress

    Fashion, Workwear by louise

    Mondays

    The beginning of a new week….also the day of the week before Tuesday and following Sunday. A time when you either dread the start of the week or relish at the thought of a new week with a fresh opportunity to achieve your goals.

    What can I say? Mondays can be somewhat of a love-hate relationship. Sometimes I am so psyched about the start of the week and other times when I know how full my week is going to be, I start looking forward to Fridays!!! Yup, that’s a true confession because I am certain we all experience this rollercoaster of emotions! So back to Mondays and in my case, a new work week.  Since I tend to be a planner I usually like to plan my outfits for the week, however I occasionally go with impulse wear based on my mood that morning. If I have a lot of meetings, I trend towards a neutral palette but there are days when I need a little “pick me up”, and will settle for outfits that are more pastel toned because they are such happy colors.

    For this look, I am sharing a Francescas blue lace sheath dress that is so gorgeous and feminine! I absolutely love how the dress seems to fit in the right places and even though I paid full price for it, the dress is currently on sale under $50. You can wear this look with a kimono or jacket for the office or on it’s own for a cocktail or wedding. I love it without a jacket but sharing the different looks so you can see the versatility of the dress.

    What is your favorite office look? Do you like neutral or pastel colors, and do you tend to lean towards dresses, skirts, or pants?
