Summer is the only time I actually wouldn't mind just skipping over Friday and the weekend because it means I am one more week closer to my summer being over! Don't get me wrong, I am so excited to start a new school year, but it's definitely hard to say goodbye to the freedom and the warm weather that comes with summer!
Every girl needs a little white dress in her wardrobe! I've said this too many times, but there is nothing better than throwing on a cute LWD for a summer date night or girl's night out! This sweet crochet number from Poshsquare is a great find. The scalloped hemline, nude lining and crochet overlay combine to make the perfect summer dress that is very versatile! Paired with some heels and a clutch, you are ready for date night, but a change of accessories makes this dress perfect for any summer occasion.
I styled this dress with a girl's night out in mind! Adding some fun lace up sandals and a suede jacket elevated this dress to an edgier level. If you wanted to kick up another notch, a leather jacket would be another great touch! This look would be perfect for dinner, drinks and dancing with your BFF's!
I am OBSESSED with this fun dress. One shoulder, tassels and embroidery makes for a fun summer mini perfect for date night. It also would make for the perfect vacation dress...definitely packing this the next time I go somewhere tropical! The only issue I have with this dress is how easily it wrinkles! These wrinkles occurred after a short drive before dinner. Is that going to stop me from wearing it in the future? No way! Nothing a good steam couldn't fix!
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is still going strong! While a lot of items have sold out, they have been re-stocking sporadically, so if you have your eye on something, keep checking back! Despite a lot being sold out, there is still a ton of great sale picks that are fully stocked! I'm sharing a few of my favorites below! Just click the item to shop it!
I can't believe it's the last week of July! This summer is flying by! I have a work training on August 9th, which will be followed by getting my classroom ready for the new school year. Is it that time already?!
A chambray top is one of my closet staples. While I have the standard chambray button down, I couldn't resist this fun off the shoulder option for the summer time! I am OBSESSED with this trend this summer, as you might know by now! It's a flattering cut and I love that it allows you to show off that sun-kissed skin without being too risque!
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to the public today!! If you've been shopping the sale like I have, you know this year there are so many amazing deals! I am hoping to pick up a few more goodies today as they restock the sale for the public!
Today I am sharing some of the pieces I picked up during early access. I am still waiting on a few packages to arrive, but hope to update this with pictures when I get them (hopefully a few arrive later today)! You can also follow me on snapchat (ashley_tgs), as I've been sharing some of my picks and sizing info on there!
Don't forget to check out some of my favorite sale picks here and here!
Bell Sleeve Dress (Now: $32 // After Sale: $48 ): One of my favorite sale picks! This dress comes in 10 colors and is SO cute on! Wear it with sandals for the summer time or pair it with boots in the colder months! I found it to run slightly large, so ordered an XS.
Over the Knee Boots (Now: $120 // After Sale: $180 ): These boots are actually from last year, but found these almost identical option on sale! At $120 these are a steal! The black are in my cart!!
Striped Tee (Now: $16 // After Sale: $24): This tee is SO good! Once I tried it on, I automatically went and put a few more colors in my cart. This is one of those basics that can be worn a million ways and it's so comfortable! This does run large, but I stuck with a small because I wanted that oversized fit!
Jeans (Now: $59 // After Sale: $88): These are one of my favorite brands! I ordered them immediately and they are one of my favorite purchases from the sale! I did order a size up because I wanted these ones to be a bit baggier.
Shoes (Now: $43 // After Sale: $65): I wear these with EVERYTHING, and when I saw the even cuter option that are a part of the sale, I almost ordered them! These are so easy to wear and I love pairing them with denim or dresses!
Long Sleeve Tee (Now: $18 // After Sale: $28): Another staple! This is so comfortable and can be styled a million ways! This does run big and I'm slightly wishing I would have gone with an XS, but don't mind the oversized fit of the small!
Buckle Booties (Now: $100 // After Sale: $150 ): My FAVORITE booties from last year are back and in more colors! These are so comfortable and a fall essential!
Top (Now: $25 // After Sale: $38 ): I am hoping to see this top restocked in all colors and sizes today, because I definitely want it in a few more colors! It has the most flattering fit and is TTS (wearing a small). The best part though? The laced up back (no worries girls, it doesn't show your bra)!
Cozy Cardigan (Now: $32 // After Sale: $48): By far my favorite piece from the sale, this cardigan is amazing! I already ordered it in a few different colors, it's that good! I love a good cardigan, especially when it comes to my work wardrobe. A cozy cardi is perfect for chilly winter days in a cold classroom and can transition some of my warmer weather dresses and tees for the colder months! This one does run large, so I am wearing an XS.
Plaid Scarf (Now: $19 // After Sale: $30 ): This scarf was my favorite last fall! I was so excited to see they brought it back for the sale because it is a fall essential! I wore mine a ton last year (as seen here and here), and found it so easy to style (especially with stripes and cognac accessories)!
Hobo Bag (Now: $197 // After Sale:$295 ): While this exact bag (HERE) isn't on sale, this super similar style is and in SUEDE. Anybody else obsessed with suede for fall??
Dress (Now: // After Sale: ): This dress is the PERFECT dress to wear now and layer up later! You can get a better look of it in the picture below! It's coming off more white in these photos but it really is the most interesting light greyish color...it's very hard to even pinpoint what color it is, but I love it!
Bag: Now this bag is not part of the sale, but it is currently ON sale for $32..confusing I know. This reversible tote is a must have! I am going to pick it up in another color to be my school bag this year!
Bag: Now this bag isn't on sale, but you can find a few suede Rebecca Minkoff's in this color on sale now! This color really is even better in person! I have this one in grey and LOVE the size and this one is on my wish list!!
I've been on a total off the shoulder kick this summer. It's such a flattering style and perfect for the warm weather. This little cutie from Poshsquare is a summer must have. I LOVE the color and have already worn it dressed up and dressed down! One of my favorite ways I've worn it is pictured above, with lace up sandals and a colorful bag. I've also paired it with converse and a ponytail for a laid back Sunday of running errands. It's comfortable and is a versatile piece to have in your closet and at just $39, it doesn't break the bank!
