Happy Hump Day Everyone!
Ok, so, the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is now officially in FULL swing, as in, you only have a few days left to score some amazing fall pieces at rock-bottom prices. If you missed my previous post on my top picks, and a strategy for shopping the sale, you need to read it here. If you saw it, you know that one of the items I tend to focus on for this sale is classic closet staples — like these pants. High waist, streamlined fit — a polished classic that goes with literally any top. It’s a pair of pants I will wear to work on repeat.
And shoes. I can’t say enough about shoes for this sale — do you ever see a really great pair of classic pumps on deep discount — not really … they’re a staple and retailers know it. All women need a pair of black pumps, so by the time they go on sale, all sizes are gone. Hello Nordstrom sale, my name is Kristin! Classic shoes, this fall’s shoes — they’re all on sale. I scored these gorgeous suede black pumps, and will wear them until they literally break (no … really). There are other beautiful options here, here, and here (these are gorgeous and under $60 … seriously).
See what happens when you snap up amazing, high quality staples at such great prices — you can have fun with the rest of your outfit! This top is certainly a novelty item for me — it’s not appropriate for my office — perhaps in a creative office setting you could layer a boatneck tee under to provide coverage under the cut-outs along the sides, leaving a sliver of skin across your shoulders. But for me, this was an after-work, cocktail hour piece. I love the professional look of the pinstripes and the longer length — it helps balance the more risqué aspects of the top. I wore it out after work to meet Jacob for a drink and his jaw hit the floor when he saw me walking up — I love that I can still do that to him 🙂
And … these sunglasses. I’m in love. Cat eyes are one of my favorites to begin with (aviators have claimed the other half of my heart, love these btw!), but these are on a whole other level. If it’s possible to be edgy and classy at once, these glasses are it.
I rounded out my look with a classic black handbag (love this one, and this one (under $50)), chunky gold watch, and knotted bangle. And we have sleek and, dare I say, sexy-professional??
Check out all the details below, along with a few more of my Nordstrom sale picks!
yours,
Kristin
