the hunt for some good deals and I never want to spend too much money on my
sweaters especially since I don’t get to wear them that often. So when I saw that a few of my favorite sweaters were under $30, I just had to share them with you! Check out 12

Do you guys have any plans for
New Year's Eve? At this point it looks like I’m going to have a low key
celebration with my family. My family talked about going to St. Augustine
with the kids for dinner and then we could hang out downtown and bring in the new
year. So, we’ll see if that plan works out.
Anyways, I’ve put together several pieces to celebrate the new year with
lots of sequins and sparkle! Hope you have a happy New Year sweet friends!

I know – time is flying by right?It’s

pieces to wear on the holiday without committing to a whole outfit. And I’m
pretty sure I’ll be doing the same thing again this year.
Whether you have plans to stay in and pass out candy, get
dressed up for a costume party or just plan to get some candy trick or treating,
here are 20 ways to incorporate a little Halloween style into your wardrobe
without breaking the bank. Are you planning on dressing up this Halloween? Do
you tend to go all out in full costume and make-up or do you tend to skip it
altogether?
With
Labor Day just around the corner, we all know that cooler days are ahead for
most of us. Transitioning your wardrobe from summer to fall could get expensive
if you decide to ditch all of your summer clothes.But there’s no need to spend your whole paycheck
trying to keep up with all of the new fashion trends.All you have to do is pair up a few fall
must-haves with your summer collection to create a new look and transition into
fall with style. Adding deeper colors, like burgundy, olive green and grey, mixing
different textures like tweed and corduroy wearing leggings or tights and
layering for warmth are a few ways that will allow for some of your summer
clothes to stay around for another season without spending too much cash.
In an effort
to help save you money, I’ve put together a quick guide for you with my 12 fall
fashion essentials to help you transition your wardrobe from summer to fall.
And the best part is that everything is under $50!
1. A Plaid Shirt:
There’s nothing more classic for the fall season than a plaid print. From
buffalo plaids, tartan plaids to plaids embellished with gems, there's an
option for everyone this season. Pair your favorite plaid shirt with some
boyfriend jeans for a casual look or with a pencil skirt for a stylish office
ensemble.
2. A Cozy Cardigan:
A cardigan is the perfect piece for layering all year long.You can wear it over a t-shirt or
button-downed shirt or you can wear it under a blazer and warm winter coat. A
cardigan a great alternative to a turtleneck or pullover style, especially in offices
or buildings where you have no idea how cold it’s going to be.
3. A Sharp Blazer: Blazers
are flattering on every size and shape.A classic black blazer is a smart investment as the temperatures start
to get cooler.And since you'll wear it
all the time allow yourself to splurge a little on the price for better
quality. Pair it with a cute sundress or wear it over a white tank and jeans
for a sophisticated yet sporty look that will take you into fall.
4. Faux Leather
Jacket: A leather jacket is a fall must-have piece that you should defintely
add to your wardrobe. You can create a
basic look by adding a leather jacket to a t-shirt and skinny jeans. Or you can
rock an edgy look by adding a leather jacket to a breezy sundress.A real leather jacket could get a little
pricey, but there’s no need to fret.There are so many affordable faux leather jackets available this fall so
you don’t need to break the bank.
5. Shirt Dress: Practical and versatile, the shirtdress is a
classic and simple silhouette that will transition effortlessly from summer to
fall.A shirtdress is so easy to wear
and with the right accessories you can dress is up with a beltand some heels or dress it down by layering
over some jeans.
6. Darkwashed Skinny Jeans: Most of us are wear white or
light-washed denim over the summer, but as we transition to fall, it’s time to
start wearing jeans in a darker wash. Darkwashed jeans work perfectly with
lightweight sweaters, plaids and a leather jacket.
7. Leggings: Leggings are one of those fashion trends that
return year after year, so get ready because you're going to continue seeing
them everywhere.When it comes to
styling your favorite pair, you can add it under a flowy dress or tunic and throw
on a pair of heels or booties to create a spicy outfit.
8. Ankle Booties: An easy way to transition into fall is
buying a pair of ankle booties.Grab a
couple of neutral color booties to pair with jeans, dresses and skirt and
extend the life of your wardrobe.
9. Choker Necklace:Chokers have made a come back from the 90’s and it’s a great way to tie
in a new trend into your current wardrobe.There are so many price options out there likc $3 options from Forever
21 to $40 options at Shopbob. I also think this is something you can make
yourself if you have a DIY spirit.In my
opintion, there’s no need to spend too much on this trend, but I think it would
be fun to try.
10. Oversized Scarf: Bundling up from fall through winter is
vital in cities like New York City and Chicago and the best way to keep you
warm is with an oversized or chunky scarf.This is the queintesstial fall fashion accessory!
11. The Saddle Bag: The saddle bag purse is the definitely the
shape of the season. Team it up now with a fun maxi dress for the final days of
summer and later in the fall with a shirt dress and some cute booties as the
temperature drops.
12. Wool Hat: It’s almost time to toss the straw hat
you’ve been wearing all summer aside and pick up a wool fedora! We all know
that hats are perfect for the summer, but they also work great in cooler
weather.

I’m not
sure if you all are still shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but I’m
constantly online looking for restocked items. There are still a few items I’m
hoping to get before the sale ends, so I’m literally on the website at least 3
times a day. I’m really hoping my items pop up during the final week of
the sale. I knew that items were going to sell out fast, but I had no idea that
they wouldn’t be restocked as promised by a few sales associates. Although
I’m a little disappointed that I’ve missed out on some items, I’m happy to
report that there are few of my favorites that are still in stock.
I’ve picked out the best of what’s left of the sale based on the
sizes and/or colors available and they are all under $200.00 Check them
out below and let me know what items you’re hoping to still buy before the sale
ends.
