Awesome Work Pants + Beauty and Home Favorites!

The sale continues, y’all…

And there are still some incredible deals just waiting to be scooped up.

Today we are talking BEAUTY favorites, HOME favorites, and some really awesome WORK PANTS.

WORK PANTS

Let’s start with the work pants!

Y’all know I’ve been screaming and shouting about Wit and Wisdom jeans for about 8 or so years now. Well, they also have some work pants that are absolutely incredible.

I’m going to talk about 3 different pairs today, but I’m of course kicking things off with the famous MUST HAVE black pants.

These Wit and Wisdom black pants are one of my favorite items in the sale this year (and every year). I look forward to reviewing these every single year for y’all, and the feedback from those of you that try them is always GOLD! Y’all are always absolutely floored at how awesome they are.

So these look like a typical work pant, BUT THEY’RE NOT. They’re soooooooooo much better.

They are stretchy enough that you just pull them on, which tickles me to no end. They don’t have a zipper, but they do have a button and some sturdy hook and eye closures (I think that’s what they’re called anyway). But even though you’re pulling them on like pajama pants and they are just about as comfy as pajama pants, you are ready for the office! I wear my regular size 4, but most definitely size down. (I own these in 2s as well, but I do prefer how the 4s fit me.) The styling of these pants has changed throughout the years, and I love everything about this year’s version. One year they had a stretchy built in belt, one year the front pockets were faux, but this year’s version has real pockets and belt loops (but no belt). EVERYBODY needs a pair of these black pants, but if you work in an office, these are going to be life changing for you. And I’m not even being dramatic.

And how good is this double ruffle sleeve blouse!!! It’s not in the sale, but it is a new release and seems to be well stocked in 4 different colors. In addition to the smokey purple above and the olive below, it also comes in a rust and a gorgeous cream. The details on this blouse are gorgeous. From the ruffled and pleated collar that continues down to the end of the buttons to the double flutter sleeve, it’s so pretty! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Also from Wit and Wisdom is this pair of plaid trousers. They feel the same and the fit is super similar to the must have black pants. I think the waist is maybe a little higher, but if it is, it’s just a tiny bit. Same pull on styling, same stretchy fabric, same flattering fit! Again, I’m wearing my regular size 4 (not petite). If between sizes, definitely size down because of the stretch.

And now for the check trousers. Again, the fit, fabric, and flattery level is super similar to the must have black pants. The above pants have a large plaid pattern, but these have a tiny little check. Size down if between sizes.

And because I think it’s hard to tell the pattern difference in my pics above, here they are side by side. If you work in an office, you DEFINITELY need the black pair, and you probably need the other pairs too. Please just take a chance and TRY these pants. Remember, Nordstrom has FREE SHIPPING and FREE RETURNS, so there is literally ZERO RISK.

HOME FAVORITES

I’ve owned #8 and #9 for years.

The Dyson V11 cordless vacuum is the vacuum that we have. It is INCREDIBLE. We have two Golden Retrievers, we use the vacuum every single day, and we cannot imagine not having this vacuum. Up until several years ago we were using a vacuum WITH A CORD. I mean, what the heck?  Haha! Going cordless gives you so much freedom, and the capabilities of this vacuum are awesome. It goes seamlessly from one floor surface to another, the suction power is NEXT LEVEL, and the battery life on this one is great.

I purchased the large wood and marble serving board and the knife block this year, and I’m very pleased with both. The serving board is quite large and beautiful! It’s perfect to keep out for decoration, but it’s also an awesome vessel for an epic charcueterie board!

1) Barefoot Dreams blanket / 2) large wood and marble serving board / 3) wood bowl / 4) Dutch oven / 5) marble serving board / 6) set of 4 Voluspa candles / 7) marble and wood cake stand / 8) Dyson V11 cordless vacuum / 9) must have throw blanket / 10) NEST reed diffusers / 11) Pura diffuser set / 12) knife block

That’s it for today, y’all! Short and sweet, but packed full or really awesome deals. See you back here on Friday!
