How do you style a summer dress for fall?
Layering. The end.
Just kidding, because I AM HILARIOUS that way. (On a related note, why isn't there an eyeroll key on computers? Would be suuuuuuper helpful right now.)
Seriously though, if you've followed me here or on the socials, for any amount of time, then you know I am ALL ABOUT SOME LAYERING.
Read MoreI am ALL ABOUT finding multiple ways to wear my clothes. In fact, the more versatile an item of clothing is, the more it is free. In my mind. #sherrimath is a real thing. Or at least I'm trying to make it into one, so that I can convince John that I am actually frugal.
It's not working.
Anyway, while I was basically squatting at my local Nordstrom the last 3 weeks, I was introduced to this skirt. And before I show you why it is SO GOOD, let me just say this: I was pretty certain this skirt and I wouldn't be friends. In fact, I would have probably never tried it. But then. THEN I did. And now we are married and I have to wear it EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
Read MoreThere are SOME PEOPLE who will actually be GLAD when the Anniversary Sale ends tomorrow. These are obviously crazy people, who wouldn't know a good deal if it smacked them in the face. Or was hypothetically delivered to their doorstep via the kind folks at UPS. You know who you are. JOHN.
Read MoreNow, I'm not saying I have favorites among my precious anniversary sale purchases. Except that I do. I totally do. And can I tell y'all a little secret? Almost none of those favorites ever come from Round One. Year after year, it's ACTUALLY my ROUND 2 (or 3...or 4....) picks that end up being my go-to staples. (You'll know which ones are my faves by the way you see them many days in a row, without regard for societal norms and things like cleanliness.)
Read MoreLet's be honest guys, there are WAY MORE than 5 things from the Anniversary Sale that I LOVE AND ADORE AND WANT TO COME LIVE WITH ME FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER.
(Because I am obviously excited about the #nsale at what is a completely normal and emotionally stable level.)
Despite being the worst at narrowing down a list, for you guys, I can do it. I came up with FIVE. Five things that are probably selling out as I type these words. I'm looking at you Rag & Bone circle bag that was in my cart on it's merry little way to checkout, and THEN GOT STOLEN FROM ME by Super Speedy Susan, who was more organized, quicker with her card, and who is also fake but it helps me to blame someone, okay? #actlikeitsnormal
Read MoreI (and every other blogger on Instagram) enjoy referring to Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale as "Christmas in July."
(John enjoys referring to it as THINGS I CAN'T REPEAT IN FRONT OF THE CHILDREN. He's adorable like that.)
Shopping the sale isn't hard y'all. Figuring out which one of your kids still gets to attend college is the hard part.
Read MoreAs we speak, the Sale That Shall Not Be Named is about to commence. You may know it by it's other name: The Sale that Causes John to Twitch Every Time A Package Arrives. Clearly, I'm referring to Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale. And since it's the most wonderful/annoying time of the year, I wanted to share a few of my tips and tricks to shop the sale LIKE THE BOSS THAT YOU ARE.
Read MoreNothing strikes fear into a mom's heart like an all white outfit. Because, KIDS, y'all. Kids have an internal radar for anything pristine, and will basically find, seek, and destroy.
They will use Cheeto fingers.
They will use mud and/or dirt.
They will use snot and boogers.
They'll use things I haven't even considered yet, because THEY ARE TINY SAVAGES
Read MoreNo disrespect to grandmas, y'all. I can't wait to be a sassy, fashion blogging, granny #boss one day.
I'll probably still be wearing these pants, to be honest. They're THAT good.
You've probably noticed that floral pants are all the rage on the gram these days. And I get it. Even though I am not typically a florals kinda gal, I adore these. And here's why…
Read MoreYou know what they always say: When life gives you lemons, slap 'em on every piece of clothing you own and wear the heck outta them.
What? Is that not how it goes?
But seriously y'all, lemons are fetch and also EVERYWHERE. They are this year's palm print, if you will. And you will, because I'm the Regina George of this blog.
Read MoreIt's that time of year again, guys. The time of year where ALL the MDW Sales try to come along and steal my cash money away from Nordstrom's upcoming Anniversary Sale. Mama ain't falling for that, y'all.
J/K, mama is TOTALLY FALLING FOR IT. That's what credit cards are for, right?
Disclaimer : Yes, I DO realize that credit cards are bad, and financially irresponsible, and JOHN STOP LAUGHING IT'S RUDE.
Read MoreIt's Friday, and on Friday, WE FAVORITE. (Except really it's Saturday, and I MAY have gotten up too early to watch the Royal Wedding. And I MAY be wondering if I can trick Bo into thinking it's quiet time already.)
(And now it's actually Monday, because PROCRASTINATION.)
