The Everyday Initial Necklace

It’s amazing how trends tend to change over time.  It seems just like yesterday, that big, bulky, chunky jewelry, especially necklaces, were all the rage.  Today, the style has made a complete 180 degree turn.  Now, as far as necklaces go, the dainty and simple are what’s trending.  Especially initial necklaces.  You will find all different styles of the initial necklace.  My favorite style, is the small disk, with a single initial engraved on it.  I think this style is not only simple, but also classy. It can easily be worn with a t-shirt and jeans, a blouse and blazer, or even a dress.

I love all of the necklaces that Sincerely Silver Co. has to offer. They are all on the small and dainty side, and they are not only high quality, but are also very affordable.  I am constantly wearing my Personalized Initial Necklace.  I have it in the sterling silver colorway, but think I also need the gold one as well. I’m also wanting to add this, this, this, and this necklace to my jewelry collection.  These necklaces make great gifts for your sister, mom, daughter, or friend.

Sometimes a trend comes along that’s easy for me to pass on (for instance, crop tops or plastic jeans) and then there are those trends that I instantly fall in love with.  The later is where I’m at when it comes to the Jumpsuit trend. I’ve been in love with the jumpsuit since I first saw one on a retailers website in early 2017.  There is just something about these one piece outfits that I’m drawn to. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s the fact that no effort is required in outfit preparation.   Just like a dress, you put it on, and you’re done.  Plus they come in so many varieties that it’s easy to find the right one for the right occasion. I’ve seen women wearing them while out on date night, walking along the beach, shopping in the mall, and even at New York Fashion Week.  I’m telling you, they are the PERFECT everyday, go to outfit!

A lot of jumpsuits are sleeveless. At first, this deterred me from purchasing them, but then I saw all over Instagram, women wearing sleeveless jumpsuits with a t-shirt layered underneath.  Why had this never crossed my mind?  Such an easy fix, and a really cute look! Plus I love the versatility this provides.  You can completely change the look just by adding a plain t-shirt the first time, and then layer with a striped tee or denim jacket the next time you wear it.  The possibilities are endless.

 

 

Easy to wear and easy to style. Jump on the jumpsuit bandwagon! #jumpsuit

 

 

 

Jumpsuits are the perfect outfit for every season! #jumpsuit

 

This red jumpsuit, is a favorite!  The wide legs and smocked top make it a great addition to my jumpsuit collection.  I’m loving it paired with a white tee for summer, and come fall, I’ll pair it with a denim or suede jacket for cooler days, and a button down for a little dressier look.

Check out some my favorites below!  Some I already own, and there are many more I want to purchase. There’s one I even plan on taking me with to Fashion Week this year.  Can you guess what one it is?

 

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has begun.  Last year I put a lot of time and effort into covering the sale, but this year I just don’t have the time, but that doesn’t mean I’m not shopping.  The sale started for early access (Nordstrom credit card holders) at Midnight last night, and I was up until 2:00 a.m. shopping. That might sound crazy to some of you, but honestly, this sale is that good! Plus, I look forward to this sale each year, so I can stock up on a lot of the items I wear throughout the fall months.

Basics, sweaters, jeans, and shoes are what I tend to focus on.  These are items that I’ll wear time and time again for years to come.  Last year I ended up buying way more than I should have. I only ended up wearing a small amount of what I bought and still have pieces in my closet with the price tag on them.  I tell you this so you’ll learn from my mistakes.  Don’t buy something just because it’s a good deal.  You’ll ALWAYS be able to find a sale.  Only buy what you know you’ll wear and what you need.  If you have 5 blue sweaters, don’t buy another because it’s at a good price point.  Choose another color, or put that money towards something you don’t already own, like a great pair of booties. Trust me on this, it’s the best way to grow your closet.

 

Favorite Fall Sweaters from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. #sweaters #fall #nordstrom

 

1. Topshop Long Open Front Cardigan – I ordered this in Cream, but it comes in 3-4 colors. I think I may also get the pink one as well.

2.  BP. Balloon Sleeve Sweater – I went with the red/pink color.  It does come in two other colors, and I purchased a small.

3.  Topshop Colorblock Knit Pullover – I have a feeling this sweater will be one of the first items to sell out.  Pretty much every blogger I follow ended up getting this one.  Reviews say it runs small, so I ordered one size up.

4.  BP. Stitch Curve Hem Cardigan – I grabbed this cardigan because the color is gorgeous!  Plus, one can never have too many cardigans in my opinion. I went with a size small.

5. Topshop Chevron Fine Gauge Sweater – I have a feeling I’m either going to love or hate this sweater.  I just loved the uniqueness of it.  I’ll let you know my thoughts once I get it.  I sized up in this sweater as well.

 

Favorite Fall Must Haves from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. #nordstrom #sale #fallfashion

 

  1.  Topshop Lily Knit Back Midi Coat – I’ve been wanting to add a camel colored coat to my fall wardrobe forever.  This one is a great price point! Plus I love that under the collar and pockets the material is red.
  2.  BP. Ruffle Sleeve Print Shirt – Loving the floral print for fall!!
  3.  KUT From Kloth Donna Release Hem Jeans – I love everything about these jeans!
  4.  BP. Plaid Shirt –  I picked this plaid shirt up last year in the green colorway.  It’s great to wear alone or layered! It comes in 6 colors.
  5. BP. Raw Edge V-Neck Tee – This is another item I purchased last year.  It comes in 7 colors and is under $12.
  6. Black Hunter Boots – Have these and love them!  I always go down a half to full size in Hunter boots.
  7.  BP. Tonya Open Toe Mule – Love, Love , Love these mules! I got them in the blush color.
  8.  Thread & Supply Wubbly Fleece Pullover – Purchased this last year.  It’s so cozy and warm.
  9.  Hinge Mix Print Top –  This shirt is going to be a favorite for fall.  Love the colors and the pattern mixing.  I got it in a small.

Everything in the photos above I either already own, (purchased from last year’s sale) or bought this year.  Because I purchased everything online this year, I won’t be able to comment on sizing.  My advice, if you are debating between two sizes, order both, and then return the one that doesn’t fit.  Items sell out extremely fast and you don’t want you to miss out on getting your right size.

If you aren’t a Nordstrom credit card holder, then you can begin shopping when public access starts on July 20.  Last year, Nordstrom restocked a bunch of items that had sold out, so don’t stress too much.  There will be plenty to shop!

I’d love to know what you purchased during the sale.  Please comment and let me know your #1 must have this year.
