Your Coat is not an Afterthought: How to Upgrade your Outerwear

I consider a coat an accessory…..let’s be honest it can really make or break your look.  Think formal full length dress with a short black puffy coat….ugh, definitely a pet peeve of mine.  Your coat should be a continuation of your outfit.   If you are spending all that time putting a look together, don’t ruin it with the wrong coat!

 

I look at coats as investments…I live in Chicago, I’m wearing a coat 90% of the year, haha!  But really, you do wear coats more often than any of your other clothing items (pipe it if you are in a warm climate).  It can really work two ways for you…if you have a statement tailored coat you always look put together even if you are a hot mess underneath i.e. still in pajamas, loungewear, etc.  Your coat is also your first impression if you think about it, when you walk inside it’s the first thing people will see until you take it off which usually happens after you sit down.  I say they are an investment because most of my coats I wear year to year and still love them just as much as I did when I first purchased them.

 

I’ve picked out a few of my favorites below!  You will notice there are two specific types not shown: black (because I know you already own one) and puffer coats (you probably have this too).  The purpose of this post is for you to branch out in your outerwear!

What to Shop at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

It’s that time of year…..the annual Nordstrom Anniversary sale is here!  Time to get excited about buying new Fall pieces and boots in the sweltering heat of July…yep true story.  If you are new to this sale, stay with me, I will show you the way and why you should always be preparing for this time every year!

 

  1. You get discounts on new Fall/Winter items.  Meaning this is a sale on the things people want, not the leftovers at the end of the season!
  2. If you are a Nordstrom cardholder (which you absolutely should be!) you get early access to the sale, as in before the general public, a week early to be exact.
  3. As a cardholder you can choose your shopping day as your triple points day!  Hello Rewards!

Early Access to the sale starts TOMORROW!  (July 12-19)  The sale opens to the public on July 20th!

Spring Style: $100 & under

So this is one of the rare times you will see me post so much pink.  I like pink, we get along, but usually only when it comes to lipstick and nail polish.  I usually like to put a certain edge on my own style and pink is a challenge to fit in but…..(there’s always a but)…I can handle it in small doses and it can be very pretty.

Pastels have hit the runways and you will see quite a bit of it this Spring.  Here are a few of my picks to freshen up your look with a lighter hue.

 

 

So these sandals are not under $100, but they are 50% off and I bought them last Spring and wore them EVERYWHERE and they will definitely be in rotation again this year!  They are so comfortable!!!  Shop them here!

Gift Guide: $50 and Under

To follow up my $25 and Under gift guide, I’ve upped the price range a bit and these are a few of my finds!  By far the best thing I have come across…the Chambong!  How did I not know about this?!  I must have one!!

 

 

 

Also recall one of my earlier posts, Travel in Style, where I featured my Calpak luggage, which I love.  Now they have matching packing cubes!  And they are under $50!
