Nordstrom

1.  Oversize blazer (I’m wearing a small)

2. White tank (get it in black too!)

3. Distressed denim shorts (I’m wearing a size 27)

4. White Bella Band (I have in both black and white!)

5. Tan Booties in caramel suede (they’re 40% off!) 

I’m also wearing the following: Aviator sunglasses // Belt bag // Drop earrings 

Nordstrom always seems to nail it. I was looking for an oversize blazer over jeans, and distressed shorts and I found it all online at Nordstrom.com! I was so excited to share it with you. Also, if you’re on the lookout for denim shorts that are a good mom length, these are it! As for the white blazer, I got a small and it fits perfectly over the bum. So flattering. As a disclaimer, with 4 kids and a 36 week belly, I’m no stranger to stains. To be honest, I usually bring a tide stick with me. If you’re as crazy about oversize blazers as I am, this plaid one is equally stunning. Speaking of belly, try this bella band if you’re pregnant and wanting to still wear your pre-pregnancy jeans by covering this clever band over your denim zipper. Genius!

More Plaid blazers 

 

While in Lake Arrowhead last weekend, I wore this blazer over this dress and got tons of compliments. And yes, if you’re wondering, I’m wearing all the white after labor day. No rules ladies. Wear what you like, and if you want to feel EXTRA in white, use this self tanner.

Happy September!

gucci loafers(fit TTS)// jeans only $78 (I sized up)// long tee (I’m wearing a small and love the length!)// trench (I’m wearing a small)// medium satchel (also converts to a mom-friendly backpack!)

4 Things you need for fall

  1. Jeans
  2. Trench
  3. Tee (long)
  4. Loafers

This look is the perfect combination of something unique like the Ann Howell bag and all my closet basics. And speaking of basics, Nordstrom has the best options—I’m loving these Gucci loafers, long tunic, flattering jeans, Bella band, and mom-friendly bag slash backpack. Nordstrom is always my go-to for quality basics like these, awesome customer service, and options for curbside pick-up. The latter of which I will probably use when I have a nursing baby!

My approach to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year has been to look at it as shopping strategically. It’s so, so easy to feel overwhelmed, which is why I’ve tried to break things down into categories and think forward for fall and winter. And speaking of fall and winter, there are so many classic investment pieces on sale right now for the upcoming seasons. You know, the things you know your closet needs but always seem a little too pricey to actually buy. Now is definitely the time! Sales can be a fun time to try more trendy items at a discount, but I’m definitely shopping for those classic pieces at a discount.
If you’ve been focusing on trying to create more of a capsule wardrobe, I also can’t suggest enough taking time to sift through the sale. You can snag some great everyday basics for practically any budget. Especially if you’re a mama like me and need to grab some back to school clothes for your kids or even for the guy in your life (I rounded up all of my favorites for the guys here).

Another tip for the mamas out there reading this—curbside pickup. Of course anyone can utilize it and I highly recommend it, but if you’re running around like I am right now trying to prepare for baby number 5, it’s definitely the convenience factor you’ve been looking for.

What basics are you shopping for right now? I want to know your best purchase yet!

Whether you are someone who just prefers the simple basics when it comes to choosing your outfits or you’re the girl all about the thrill and flair of a great accessory, I’ll have you covered throughout the mayhem that is the Nordstrom Sale Event. Because trust me when I say, there are tons of choices and lots of amazing options.

In fact, I just combed through what seemed like thousands of products at Nordstrom for their in-store early access event. I had a giant glass of water in my hand the entire time because of this crazy LA heat, but all I was thinking about was what’s inspiring me for fall and what might be worth investing in. I really tried to sift through things and choose only the best of the best because I totally get it—I’m a busy wife and mom, and really, most of us just don’t have the time to go through every piece of clothing, accessory and makeup that’s on sale. Especially in my situation because if I wait till October when baby #5 arrives, I definitely won’t have time to shop for my fall and winter wardrobe. So, believe me, if I took the time to go to the store in person, pre-order, and then post the item, it’ll be worth your time too—I promise!

After looking things over, I can safely say I’m loving suede, shearling and a great bootie. The latter is ALL about the cut. I was telling a friend of mine, when shopping for the best booties, I look for a cut that flatters the ankle, doesn’t cover it, and sometimes a V shape, etc. I can’t wait to show you the booties I ordered as well as the style I pre-ordered. In the meantime, here’s a heads up of what should be in YOUR CART before sizes sell out.

As an FYI last years big sellers were a suede wrap skirt, wrap poncho, suede booties, cardigans, jeans, etc. If you want MORE Stay in touch via FOLLOWING me on the Liketoknow.it app “shalicenoel” for exclusive looks and first-hand finds that I’ll tell you to JUMP ON, as well as my newsletter.
