Don’t blame ya for asking one bit. The pants are one of my favorite pairs in my closet.
Here they are (from Friday) with my grey v-neck*, the must have denim jacket,
and my new wedge boots!
I really like this look and know it is one that I’ll be repeating when I can actually wear it out of the house without the worry of a heat stroke.
*If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile, you know about the J. Crew Factory v-neck t-shirt. It’s my favorite t-shirt of all times. I love the shape, feel, and weight of it.
I personally have the shirt in grey, white, Kelly green, royal blue, black and white stripes, and pink and white stripes. I think the sheer # that I own should prove to you that I love it. 😉
The shirt comes in 12 colors, and it is on sale right now for $15.50 (reg. price $26.50)!
If you are going to order, don’t get just one.
Click HERE for the shirt.
It’s obviously great for the spring and summer on it’s own, but it’s also great for fall and winter under denim jackets and cardigans. I wear them all year long!
I bought the mustard skinny jeans at Nordstrom at the very beginning of September last year (they were in the junior’s section and I think they were $48), but they haven’t been in stock since.
I remember the exact table I bought them off of, and that table still has colored shorts on it. Fingers crossed it will have colored jeans on it very soon.
I LOVE these jeans, so I promise I will be on the look out for a pair of
great mustard skinnies for all of you ladies this year!
They were definitely one of my favorite staples in my wardrobe last year!
Click HERE for the original post with the mustard pants paired with a black and white top and orange statement necklace from September 2012. I really like the look, and I don’t think I’ve worn it since. It’s high time for me to wear it again!
It’s fun to look back and see what some of my first posts looked like.
At the end of the post I talk about going to a scarf exchange with my girlfriends the next day…..it was at that exchange that my friend Andrea (designer of my blog and all of my cute graphics) announced to all of us that she was pregnant with her 3rd! And now Miss Griffin is here and OH SO CUTE! My goodness time flies.)
************************************************************************
Okay.
last week and a half or so.
Andrea.
Make me a sash.
😉
And when the people ask, I answer.
(I figure for every e-mail I receive, there are probably at least 5 other people with the same question.)
🙂
1) List the things I purchased myself.
2) List some of my other favorite things I tried on.
WHAT DID I PURCHASE MYSELF?
I’m obsessed.
The feedback I’m getting over and over is that it is “so flattering” and that you “can’t wait to wear it with skinny jeans and tall boots”.
I hear ya.
I know that most sizes are sold out again, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they will re-stock again in the next couple of days before the sale is over.
I have it in burgundy color and in black.
Three readers (Hi Stacey, Kim, and Lisa!) all sent me a picture of themselves in the white one, and now I want the white one too.
I was afraid the white one was going to look cheap, but I think it looks great!
I’m now considering ordering a 3rd. And let me tell ya, having 3 ain’t no thang. Lisa bought 5!
Way to show the must have shirt who is boss Lisa! 🙂
Click HERE for the shirt.
REMEMBER TO ORDER 1 SIZE DOWN.
I also purchased several other things from the sale that I’ve named My Fall Style Staples!
1)
These aren’t technically in the anniversary sale, but the ARE on sale.
So, listen up!!!!
I JUST DECIDED TO INCLUDE THESE IN THE CONTEST!
I know from the e-mails that many of you have purchased them over the past week while you were making your Anniversary Sale purchases!
Send in a picture of yourself in these jeans for a chance to win a $100 Nordstrom card!!!!
At least for now.
These babies are flying off the shelves.
They are junior’s, so the size chart says the 27s are a 3…..but I felt like the 27s were very true to a 4.
Click HERE for the awesome jeans!
Soooooooo many of you that have already bought the jeans (including some of my friends) have e-mailed me about how you can’t believe how these super inexpensive jeans are so amazing!
I TOTALLY agree.
If you have these jeans, please take a second to sound off in the comments so other readers who are on the fence will get to see that other people love them besides just me!
These might be my favorite pair of jeans EVER. No lie. And they are $38!!!
I know this sounds ridiculous, but I feel really cool wearing them. 🙂
(The only reason I didn’t name these jeans a MUST HAVE is because I know many of you out there are crazy particular about your jeans, so I was scared to.)
However, they are a MUST HAVE for ME and a Fall Style Staple for sure.
In fact, I love them so much that I think I might order a 2nd pair of the same size. The price would totally allow me to do that without feeling guilty.
Click HERE for my original post about these jeans so you can see several different looks with them.
2)
They are crazy flattering, and they have the perfect amount of stretch in them.
I’ve already worn them with my nude flats (and they looked great),
and I can’t wait to wear them with my tall boots!
The Miz Mooz brown wedge boots.
For some reason, these boots seem to be kind of polarizing.
People either LOVE them, or they don’t.
I happen to LOVE and ADORE them.
They are the perfect color, the perfect heel height,
and have just the right amount of detail for my liking.
And just in case I haven’t made this perfectly clear before, I LOVE A WEDGE BOOT.
Here’s a picture that a reader (Hi Rebecca!) sent me that I think shows the boots really well.
I am also 99% sure that I’m going to move forward with my anniversary sale purchase of a pair of black boots.
I started getting nervous about not getting a pair at anniversary sale prices, and then caving in September or October and having to spend like $100 more!
So, stated simply, if I buy them now I’m actually saving money.
Just tell your hubby to call me if he doesn’t understand my logic.
🙂
order the MK black boots (HERE).
you remember when I first talked about them in my post last week, these
boots totally surprised me. I only tried them on because I’d received
lots of e-mails about them.
of you that don’t have a Nordstrom near you (sorry about that by the
way) were wondering if they were pretty in person. You weren’t so sure
about the elastic back when looking at them online.
My sales guy said they were probably the most popular boot in store.
I know lots of you have been asking about finding a boot for a larger
calf, and these might fit the bill for you. I have a friend with 15″
calves that swears she can never find a boot that fits her well. I
suggested these, she tried them on, and she loved them. However, she
said that if you are 5’2″ or under that these might be to tall for you.)
My calf is 13″, and they were perfect on me too! I guess the stretchy back really does the trick.
that being said, I haven’t ordered them yet.
“Why not?” you ask.
Well.
Just when I was about to click “order”, I thought I would take one more look around.
It was then that I saw that the Ecco boots (HERE) had much better reviews than the MK’s.
I knew I was going to the mall with Shay on Thursday,
so I thought I would hold off and try them both on side by side.
Then…over the weekend…
I received 3 different e-mails from readers talking about the Ecco boots and how they
got them and loved them.
The below picture is the brown Ecco boot I tried on the first day I shopped the sale.
SO CUTE, right? I really do like the fit, style, and the clean lines of this boot.
Plus, the subtle buckle detail is nice!
Click HERE for the Ecco boots.

So, needless to say, I’m now totally conflicted.
I
really can’t imagine I’m going to like the black Ecco’s better than the MK’s (I know the MK reviews aren’t great, but I know that I personally LOVE them which is obviously what matters to me),
but since they aren’t just $20, I’m going to make very sure which ones I
want before I pull the trigger.
I will make my decision Tuesday, and I will tell you which boot I decided on on Wednesday.
I know you’ll be waiting on the edge of your seat.
5)
I also saw this bracelet (on the right) the other day and couldn’t pass it up.
Sparkly! Sparkly! Sparkly!
It is so pretty in person!
Click HERE for the bracelet! It is under $25!
I didn’t approach the anniversary sale knowing I was going to make so many purchases this year, but I just couldn’t pass the deals up.
I feel like I got things that are going to be great staples in my closet for years to come, so I didn’t mind spending the money on them.
GO ME!
*********************************************************************************
Even though I also loved the items you are about to see, a girl has got to draw the line somewhere….so these next favorite picks did not come home with me.
Do you guys love it as much as I do?
It comes in petites and different colors (red and purple).
(They only had petites left in the store, so I am wearing a medium petite in this picture.)
I think the regular small would have been perfect on me.
The one in the picture is a little short.
Click HERE for the shirt.
(They didn’t have my size in the store, so the one in the pic below is too small….but I still wanted you to see what it looked like on.)
One of the reviewers commented that they looked to “old lady” for her taste and I laughed so hard!
Old Lady? Really?
I think these boots are hot!
Click HERE for the v-neck and HERE for the crew neck CASHMERE sweater.
Both are awesome.
Both come in a variety of colors.
Both come in regular AND petite!
Both fit true to size; I am wearing a small in both of the below pictures.
If I wasn’t going to get a 2nd pair of boots, I would definitely be buying this purse.
Dear Mr. Kors,
I love this purse.
If you would like to send one to me, I wouldn’t be mad at you.
I would graciously accept your gift.
All my love,
Sheaffer
