Why hello there! This past weekend flew by! My in laws are visiting from Missouri so if you have noticed me being MIA on my IG, that is why. If you watch my IG stories, you already knew this! ;) We have had a lot of fun and we are also getting a lot of things done around the house. The front porch is almost complete and I am so in love with it! It looks so good and I cannot wait to show you all the final result! It looks completely different. Anywho, guess what is soon?! Like a little less than 2 weeks soon?! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! EEK!

I am sure if you follow other bloggers, you are probably tired of hearing about this sale. It can be annoying, but I promise once you see what is part of the sale, all the annoyance will fade! Lol. So far I have done two posts about the sale so I think I am doing well on the "not oversharing" The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. If you haven't read those two posts and are not familiar with the sale, I highly suggest reading those.

Since there are a lot of you all that are not familiar with the sale, I thought I would share what I purchased last year to give you an idea on what to expect from the sale. Remember the items that are going to be part of the sale are not even available for purchase yet because they are late summer/fall and winter items. I was able to get most of my fall and winter wardrobe staples during the sale last year and saved a ton of money!

Now on to why you came to today's post...what I purchased last year during the sale. These pictures are not the best quality but we are all friends here and I'm sure you could care less. Lol. I was able to stock up on basic tees that I still wear to this day. They were a hot seller last year because they were only $15.90 so of course I grabbed all the colors. I wore them last summer, fall, winter, spring, and now! I was also able to snag a few sweaters and cardigans that I wore all fall and winter long. The cardigans were definitely one of my fav purchases from the sale because I wore those suckers a lot!

I also snagged a pair of mules that I fell in love with but unfortunately didn't wear a lot because they were a little too dressy for this boy mom. I didn't purchase a handbag because at the time I didn't need one but I am thinking that is going to be my big purchase for this year. I did grab a few accessories like a hat and a scarf that were super cheap and adorable. So, as you can tell, I was able to snag items that I was able to wear all year round. This is what I highly suggest when shopping the sale. Look for items that are closet staples.

Here are a few pictures of what I purchased last year! Also, don't forget to enter the $750 Nordstrom gift card giveaway above! It is SUPER easy to enter! :)

XOXO,

Happy Birthday America! // 4th of July Looks

Happy Tuesday, babes! Can you believe the 4th of July is next week?! I am SO excited because it is one of my favorite holidays. It's all about the F's...family, friends, fireworks, food, and fun! What else is better than that?! Since this is one of my favorite holidays I knew I had to shoot a look cute for it! What do you think?! I love it! Can't beat casual, cute! You know I am all about that!

This look was easy to put together because I already had these items in my closet and have for quite some time now. You could easily do this! I chose to spice up my navy and white striped dress with a red bandanna and my white converse to really get in the 4th spirit. You could totally switch it up and do a red top, blue denim shorts, and white shoes. Sooo many options to make you look 4th of July ready. If you just can't think of anything to wear, don't worry, I gotchu girl! I have linked some really cute pieces I think that are very 4th of July appropriate.

As you can see, most of the items are comfy and casual because let't be honest, it's going to be hot, bugs are going to biting, and you are going to be having so much fun that you will want to be comfy! I did put in a few items for those of you that may be at an indoor party and can be a little more dressy. I hope y'all have a fab 4th and remember to stay safe!

XOXO,
