Friday Favorites and Sale Recap

Hello, pretty ladies,

I hope your week was a good one! It seemed to fly by for me, and I can’t seem to catch up and get everything done on my to-do list! Have you had weeks or months like this? With the Holidays fast approaching, it snowballs. November is my busiest month, with my Holiday Home decorating business, Styling clients, and blogging business—not to mention all the personal list to-dos! I’ve learned some tricks that help keep me organized.

Shop this Photo Below:

Tips and Tricks to Staying Organized

I have learned to take a day at a time, and lists help me. It’s essential to have a weekly to-do list and break it down into daily parts… I highlight what I don’t finish that day and make it my first thing for the next day.

If you’re like me, you might have great expectations of what you can accomplish in a day, which can set your week up for failure. Instead, Make a priority list, a List of Things I would love to do, and an “If I have time” List. Break the priority list into items for each day. I have used this daily “Paper” calendar by Day Designer for several years.

Then, when you accomplish that day’s priorities, pick something from the other list. This will allow you to achieve your daily priorities and feel good about the day versus causing stress. Let me know if you try this little life helper or if you have a tip to help you accomplish your weekly goals. What do you do to keep yourself from stressing out over it?

If you would like a more personal and closer connection and a “what you could have missed,” you might like my newsletter. You can sign up HERE. I send it out every Sunday.

12 Thanksgiving Outfit Inspirations

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I can’t believe we are in October’s last couple of days, and Halloween is tomorrow! How did that happen? This also means that Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, which inspired today’s blog post. 12 Thanksgiving outfit inspirations to inspire you, whether you are cooking all day and like to be cozy and comfortable, entertaining a small gathering and casual but a little elevated, or your family tradition is to get dressed up. Maybe you are somewhere in between. I have created some cute outfits that will fit all of the above.

Suzanne, Dawn, Cindy, and Stephanie, who is new to our new group, are joining me today on our monthly blog hop. Each lady will feature something related to Thanksgiving, such as a recipe, table setting, or outfit inspiration. You’ll want to ensure you head to their blogs and see what they share. I am excited to see what they share, as I know it will be fabulous, as always. I’ve linked their blogs at the end of this post. I know they would love for you also to leave a comment to show you stopped by.

Thanksgiving outfits, I am sure, will inspire you

12 Thanksgiving Outfit Inspirations from Cozy, elevated casual to dressed up. No matter how you like to spend your Thanksgiving day, I have an outfit inspiration I think you’ll love.

I posted a poll on Instagram asking what style you wore on Thanksgiving, and it was a tie for Cozy outfits and elevated casual for the most requested outfit inspirations. This didn’t surprise me, as we have become such a casual society. I know so many cook all day, have football games or head outside to play a family ball game.

I cook all day for our family, including family and friends. Please give me a good reason to get dressed up. Having a pretty table and using my china make me feel I need to dress the part. That said, I tend to dress up a little, even if it’s just a sweater and trousers or a silk blouse and trousers, which can still be comfortable. Last year, I did wear a dress. I had so many pretty clothes for the season, and it was a shame not to wear them.

Cozy Outfit inspirations

Below, you’ll find four great options for being cozy and comfortable while still looking put-together and chic. These looks are affordable and can be mixed with other items in your closet to mix and match all season long. A couple of these looks are also great for Holiday travel, as that always seems to be something people need inspo for.

I can even picture a few of these outfit looks outside playing flag football with the family!

I was styling this viral Amazon comfy, cozy, soft, oversized hoodie and baggie jogger set. Perfect for FALL, it comes in sizes Xsm to 2xl. Easy to Elevate this set with a few easy tips to look chic and comfy. Great for travel as well. I styled it on Instagram with a Coat View here.

Elevated Casual Outfit Inspirations

Fall outfit inspo

Here is one of my favorite elevated casual outfits featuring pieces you can use for work wear! I find myself grabbing these pieces weekly.

My favorite go-to jeans of the season are Risen jeans. They fit and feel like premium denim at a fraction of the cost. They are under $70 and fit true to size. I am in a 27 for reference.

The mixed plaid blazer in shades of fall has been a favorite go-to for a couple of seasons now. Unfortunately, it’s unavailable, but I linked this year’s version with the same vibe, fit, and colors. It fits true to size. I got a medium so I could layer sweaters under it.

Cable sweater Turtleneck sweater by Banana Republic factory. It’s so soft, fits true to size, and is the perfect shade of camel that works with so many fall outfits. Mine is a couple of seasons old; I linked you a great option with the same vibe here.

Leopard accessories are a great way to add interest and a pop of pattern to an outfit to make it interesting. My go to Belt and these large buckle leopard kitten heals are so good, I can’t stop wearing.

Chloe tote in perfect shades of black, tan, and cream.

#9 Leopard Skirt outfit

It is a great way to wear a leopard skirt dressed up for the Holidays. I wore this look to church last week, as I love dressing up for church; it allows me to be creative and use pieces in my wardrobe that I love to wear yet don’t have a lot of places to wear. This Amazon finds leopard skirt fits true to size, Paired with a Black Pumiey bodysuit that also fits true to size; I love how a bodysuit is fitted and doesn’t add bulk, especially with a flowy skirt with an elastic band. Another styling must be done when wearing a bottom with an elastic band, and you must make sure you add a belt. Here, I added a wide chocolate brown belt with studs to cover the band, flatter the waist, and add interest.

A Chocolate faux leather jacket, which fits true to size, is a great “third” piece for any wardrobe. A third piece is that layering piece that adds interest and layers to an outfit, taking it from drab to fab. It’s a great tip to finish off any outfit. Here is the same Moto jacket in chocolate suede by Chicos.

Accessories

Great styling, but it comes down to adding interest with accessories. I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat it: accessories finish the outfit and add interest to your style. I purchased these vintage suede Mary Jane heels with stud details over 25 years ago. I fell in love with them, and I adore them now. Mary Janes is having a big moment this year, which is one reason I tell my clients to save certain items, especially if they love them. Some older or Vintage pieces in your wardrobe keep your style from looking like everyone else. It adds character to your outfit, especially if you can bring pieces out that might be on trend again; yours will be that unique piece that stands out just a little bit more. Here is a similar pair of Mary Jane heels.

Speaking of vintage, I pulled out another piece from my archive, this great multi-chain statement bib necklace I purchased 15 or 17 years ago from Bauble Bar. It’s technically not vintage yet (something needs to be 20 years old to be labeled vintage.) This outfit would have looked great with this Julie Vos chunky chain necklace. I also love this multichain statement necklace, which made a big statement and made the outfit fabulous. Need a multichain statement necklace? I found this one HERE to finish off your look.

Julie Vos’s earrings and a ring complete the look. Shop the earrings, bracelets, and rings.

Hello Pretty Ladies,

It’s officially Fall! Wow, I think that was the fastest summer ever! I love summer and Fall—my two favorite seasons—and they seem the shortest here in Utah! Fall means my birthday month is coming. I have my Fall bucket list ready and am looking forward to crisp mornings and evenings and the stunning shades of the season.

Today, I am sharing some fall favorites for our monthly blog hop with Suzanne, Cindy, and Dawn.

I will keep this one short and sweet! Below, you will find all the fun things I want to share, including my family’s favorite recipe for this easy pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe and a few things you could have missed. (I’ll be sharing the sunflower field later next week.)

Sharing a great Fall transition outfit, you can easily style multiple ways, and I thought I would share with you two ways to style it by just switching out the 3rd piece. Here are the details:

Sale Alerts: Chicos wide-leg crop pants are $44 and perfect with a bootie. The pants fit tts. I am wearing a size 4 Chico’s size 0, which pairs perfectly with a bootie for Fall.

-Bootie is a Dolce Vida two-tone with a little Western vibe (last year), linking similar Here

-Olive button-up Amazon find

-The Amazon denim shacket jacket is slightly distressed, affordable & fits tts, and is perfect for summer to fall weather

-A necklace, a vintage horn

-Hat is by lack of color

The 2nd look is everything above, with the jacket switched out to the ivory Denim jacket by Chico’s

Things to Know about the Sale

Link to apply for Nordstrom card HERE

If you want to score early access, apply for a Nordstrom credit card ASAP. The retailer offers two types of cards, a retail credit card and a Visa credit card, which provide the same benefits and are eligible for early access to the Anniversary Sale. While your cardmember status depends on yearly spending amounts (shared below), all cardmembers automatically start at Influencer status, which means you’ll get an extra four days to shop the Sale before it opens to everyone.

Insider tips

Early access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins tomorrow for Cardholders, and even I can’t stop until the 11th! The bummer is that things start selling quickly, so I have some tips!

Shop online! This is where you will find the most extensive selection!

Add to Wishlist! If you see something you love, add it to your wishlist, so the day you’re able to shop, you can immediately “add to cart”!

Add a different size! If the size you are looking for sells out in your size, add a different size to your shopping bag and check back often as things get returned and stocked! I’ve even had luck exchanging after the sale for the correct size and color.

Expedite Shipping! For $20, this bumps your order and gives you a better chance to get what you want!

How I am Breaking Down the Sale:

What I will be sharing from the Nordstrom sale is broken down. I feel breaking the Sale down and scaling it into categories is essential. Hopefully, you will find this method easier and won’t feel overwhelmed. Please note that I go through every sale item and think about what a great deal is and what closet staples are great to add without going overboard. I also choose items that are hard to find on Sale, so shopping for them now may be your only chance to get them on Sale. Follow my Shop. LTK HERE, as I’ve created a few Nordstrom Boards to simplify shopping.

June’s 12 Best Sellers

Hello Pretty Ladies,

June is officially over, and man, was it a blur. From a vacation in Colorado, throwing a large bridal shower, and entertaining family in town, the actual start of summer, which is when you can start to work in your yard in Utah, we finish our deck remodel, Save a kitten, off the highway, Shes doing excellent by the way. Then, I head out of town for a weekend with my hubby in Park City. I feel like I lost a month of Summer.

Why is it winter is eight months long, and Summer flies by? July is another month that becomes a blur. July 4 is so fast, and all the Crazy sales start for Back to School and Fall! The Nordstrom sale Starts July 9, Walmart the 8th-11th, Target July 7th-13th, and Amazon Prime July 16-17th. Will you be shopping the Big 4 sales? If so, I would love to know what you are shopping for and if you want me to showcase anything special. Comment below if you have any questions for me.

About the July Sales

I’ll share the six items I purchase yearly from Nordstrom and my picks on Amazon Prime sale, my favorite pick from each, what I believe is too good of a sale not to grab, and some gift ideas.

As for the Nordstrom sale, I will do an in-store try-on; you loved the one I did last year, as I know it helps you see how they fit. Here is last year’s Try-on. I have already noticed that several of my BEST SELLERS from previous years are on sale again this year, and if you plan on grabbing a sale item or two, you might want to add them to your wish list to have them ready when you can shop. If you’re interested in shopping for sales, sign up for my post alerts on ShopLTK. This will help you see the posts first. You can do that HERE.

Please remember that I am sharing things that caught my eye, which are great and will help you build your wardrobe. But by no means don’t feel like you have to shop just because they’re on sale. I always say it’s only a good deal if you wear and style it in multiple ways.

4th of July Outfit Inspirations: Over 40

4th of July Outfit Inspirations:

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Today, I am sharing the 4th of July Outfit Inspirations: Over 40. These outfits range from easy outfits you can create from your closet, using the traditional color theme of red, white, and blue, to a couple of kitschy looks with stars and flags.

I am sharing easy, peezy outfits that say the 4th of July without having a flag or stars to say the 4th of July. You can grab your Red, white, and blue pieces out of your wardrobe all summer, and pairing them together creates a Holiday look without having a 4th of July star or flag item. Stripes are one of my favorite things, and I love that you can mix a bold stripe and a small stripe to a solid and get a great vibe. Another trick to get a festive look without wearing a big Star or Flag is adding a mini star or flag print as a small detail on a scarf to tie on a bag or a simple accessory like an earring. This little detail adds that 4th of July touch to an outfit without screaming the 4th.

Today is our monthly blog hop, and it is always fun to see what my girlfriends Dawn, Suzanne, and Cindy are sharing on the monthly topic over on their blogs. The 4th of July is a week away, and that seems like an appropriate topic. Their blogs are linked at the end of this post.

Tips on shopping your closet:

To create the looks below from your closet, look for something you have similar, whether it’s the color or the style; something similar will still give out the same feel.

I did an Amazon haul at the beginning of Summer with great basics that happened to be in the color theme of the 4th of July. I chose these colors simply because they felt like summer to me, and then I realized I picked the perfect colors for the 4th of July, which is also a great Summer season color palette.

Shop the look HERE page below:

The Flag sweater is so cute, and I love it printed in this season’s hottest color: Cornflower blue. I’ve been crushing on this color, and when I saw it, I had to have it. The flag sweater reminds me of a preppy Ralph Loren polo and is a classic in my eyes. A flag also has a coastal vibe to it, making it perfect to wear all summer long. Shop the look HERE.

The Red Stripe Amazon maxi dress has been a repeat best-seller for me. Easy to wear all summer long. I paired the dress with a denim shirt around the waist, a caramel tote, and Tory Burch Miller sandals. Shop the look HERE.

Shop the Spanx denim shorts HERE, the Red and white stripe Spanx top HERE, and the Sandals HERE

I purchased this off-the-shoulder top from the Banana Republic factory (last year), which is linked to a similar Fits TTS; these best-selling wide cuff two button-front jeans are from Amazon for $39. These come in and out of stock. Because they sell so fast, and they fit true to size. Excellent quality for the price✔️Cashmere sweater fits tts. Tory Burch Miller is in red TTS, Lisi Lurch bracelets, and a Laudi Vindi custom bag, which is genuine leather. It is so beautiful, as are Amazon raffia ball earrings. SHOP the look HERE
