Hi dear reader. Today I’m sharing my real life outfits from the week plus some outfits I’ve put together with purchases from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I hope you enjoy it and get a little outfit inspiration. And I think it will be fun to see the new fashions for fall from the #NSale, too.

How This Works

These are my real life outfits from my own closet. Many of these things are available, but some may not be. When I can locate one quickly I’ll share substitutes and/or more economical options. But if I don’t provide one and you’d like for me to, just ask.

What I Wore On Friday

Friday we prepped to shoot videos for this past Wednesday and next week, so I was mostly changing clothes a lot. But that morning and evening I wore my old faithful cobblestone linen lantern pants and this easy breezy linen top.

I’m loving wearing my Naot Dorith Sandals, so they’re definitely going with me to London. And that button-front tie waist top has turned into a fast favorite. I like that the tie gives it that front tuck look without the hassle.

What I Wore On Saturday

Saturday we actually shot the videos, mostly in the morning. It was a fairly cool day, turning dark and rainy at one point. So when we finished shooting I just kept on the black jeans and tiger print shirt I had worn in one of the videos.

That tiger print shirt is so soft and very comfortable. It’s in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and still available in a few sizes. Just Nordstrom cardholders are shopping right now, but it opens to everyone on Monday, July 17th. I’ll share a post on Monday with great buys that are still available. Also I just saw that my black straight leg jeans above (which I bought in last year’s #NSale) are still available in most sizes and marked way down at VB. Great jeans!

What I Wore On Sunday

Sunday we had a very casual morning at church, so I wore my black wide leg pants and this fun graphic tee. I pulled the look together with a black belt and my Dorith sandals.

Those black wide leg pants were on sale over the weekend through the LTK app, but they’re back to regular price now. You’ll see I wore them again later in the week. They’re very lightweight and have such nice stretch, feel so very cool and comfortable.

What I Wore On Monday

Monday we had to get up early and shoot some more photos for Wednesday’s blog post. I had enjoyed wearing those black wide leg pants so much the day before that I put on the blue ones Monday. Unfortunately they’re almost sold out in the blue, but available in other colors. Again, so lightweight, cool and stretchy. Really great summer pants.

I was hunting around for things to work with the blue pants besides the “hold your horses” tee and remembered I had this one from J.Crew (similar) in the spring. I thought it really worked nicely with just that little bit of blue. And I loved the way the ivory unstructured blazer pulled this “cool girl” look together. Oh, and the beige sneakers seal the deal for me. These are super comfortable and fun to wear for a very casual vibe.

What I Wore On Tuesday

Tuesday Abigail and I went to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. We got there around nine for the the private shopping party they always host for Icon shoppers on that first day. It’s a lot of fun with bites and coffee and such. I wanted to wear something that looked nice, but also that would be easy to get on and off for trying on clothes.

So I went with my white linen pants from Frank & Eileen and a Cloth & Stone button-up shirt with a tie waist. I just love wearing white and beige in the summer.

What I Wore On Wednesday

Wednesday Abby and I took my books over to the site of Thursday’s speaking engagement so they would already be there the morning of. We went out to lunch afterwards and then just came home for me to work a bit.

I purchased my berry red Eileen Fisher dress in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale about three years ago, and they tend to have one like it almost every year. This year the Eileen Fisher dress comes in black and red, and the dress is a little looser fitting. I know because I ordered the black one and have tried it on. So it doesn’t fit quite the same, but it is a pretty dress. This one is really nice for travel. I sized down to a small as usual.

What I Wore On Thursday

Thursday I had the privilege and honor of speaking at an Outpost event hosted by the Northeast Women’s Bible Study groups. I chose to wear my black wide leg pants again, this time with my beige campshirt and my Ally cap toe pumps (use code KAYHEELS for savings at Ally).

I had considered wearing a dress, but a speaker knows that you frequently need to wear a mic attached to your waistband so dresses don’t generally work. As it turned out I used a stand mic, so I would have been fine in a dress. But this outfit felt appropriately understated but also a little elegant. It served me well. Ooh. And I just noticed my tricolor Michael Kors handbag has been deeply discounted. Yay!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-Ons

I shopped the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Tuesday starting at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time. And since I used expedited shipping on some of my items, I started getting things in Wednesday. So I put together a few outfits to share with you. I’m not sure I’ll keep all of these things, but they are some lovely pieces.

First up this Vince smocked waist skirt and a wool & alpaca blend sweater. This skirt is made just like my floral one I love wearing so much. That skirt is on sale, too, by the way (regular sale, not NSale). But the deep red smocked waist skirt fits the same (TTS) and has that same beautiful drape. Obviously I need to steam it, but I was just trying things on this day.

The wool & alpaca blend sweater also fits true to size; I’m wearing a medium in both. Those nude slingbacks are from the Nordstrom brand and are a really great shoe. They also fit very comfortably true to size.

Next up, one of the great surprises in the sale, the Zella performance hoodie blazer. It’s currently sold out, but, since it’s a Nordstrom brand item, I look for it to be restocked. This jacket runs large, but fits so nicely once you find your size. I’m wearing a small very comfortably. It’s a sharp looking blazer, but feels so good. And it has a hood that zips on and off. So fun!

I’m wearing the Performance Jacket over the Vince Wool Sweater and some really nice straight leg jeans from Paige. These are the Cindy in antique black, such a great color. I love the raw edge hemline and the straight leg silhouette. They fit very nicely if you size up one. I’m wearing a 31 with plenty of room. I also love the Allsaints tote and those Vince laceup lugsole booties are really nice: supple leather, fit TTS and so sharp.

Above I’m wearing the same jeans with a Nordstrom brand cashmere crewneck sweater in lavender. (TTS) Really nice for the price. They tend to be a little thin, but I often wear a cami with my sweaters in the winter anyhow. And this color is so pretty. I’m wearing the Allsaints sneakers, and they run a little small. Definitely size up at least a half size.

And that’s it for now. I’ll have more try-ons from the sale next week if not before. Remember, it opens to non-cardholders Monday!
