Nordstrom Anniversary Sale | Last Chance
Cropped Flares + Summer Sales
We made it to the end of the week, my friends!!!! Gosh, summer is winding down and I'm just not ready for it to be over. How did it fly by so fast?!?
We're headed off to our last little getaway this weekend and I'm really looking forward to it. I'll make sure to post all about our adventures when we get home. But for now, I'm totally in love with my Nordstrom Sale finds (check out my best finds under $50 HERE)...especially this peasant top and these flare jeans! I've worn both twice already! In truth, I was a bit doubtful these cropped flares would be flattering on my shorter legs, but worn with tall shoes, I kinda love them! All of these new denim silhouettes are so refreshing...I think we all needed a good break from skinny jean, am I right?
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! If you're in the mood for some shopping, the Nordstrom Sale is still going strong (and they've re-stocked some items that previously sold out), Lands End has a great backpack sale right now, and Old Navy has some big back-to-school deals as well!

In other news (actually the same news I've been posting about recently), the Nordstrom Sale is still going strong and will be open to non-cardholders (the public) on Friday!!! While I've spotlighted some of the best deals under $50 and my favorite shoe finds for under $100...I've also curated a Pinterest Board as a place to keep EVERYTHING good that I've discovered in the #NSale! Many of the items are already selling out or low inventory (meaning the popular sizes are almost gone), so don't waste time if you're planning to score some great deals! Also, I talked here about how great this sale is and why everyone should take advantage...as well as some tips to shop most efficiently (as it can be a chore to sort through the thousands of sale items). I hope you all have a fabulous rest of the week...and I'll see ya' on the flip side!

5 Tips To Shop Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Smart Style: Capelet
While I had pretty much stuck to a capsule wardrobe this last fall/winter, introducing a few "creative" pieces into the rotation this spring has been quite fun! This striped cape is one of those fun pieces, as well as my adventure with overalls a few weeks back. These kinds of trendier looks pair best with neural, understated basics...black, white, wood accents, etc.
Smart Style: Comfortably Chic
Howdy y'all!!! It feels really great to be back from our vacay, but oh it sure is hard coming back to real life. Monday morning packs a punch when you've had no worries or cares for the last 7 days! We had SUCH a wonderful time and I can't wait to share it...but for today I have for you a "smart style" outfit post!
You know those days when you want to look really put together and chic? Yesterday was one of those days. I was speaking in church in the morning, but knew I'd be in the clothes for most of the day and comfort was key. When I put this outfit together, I originally intended to tuck in the blouse (read: re-tucking required all the day long), but decided belting it was both easier and made the look a bit more interesting. Who doesn't love a neon pink belt!?! But really, when comfort trumps, there's usually always a work-around to make an outfit a bit more easy to wear.
Now these shoes on the other hand...ouch.
Smart Style: Jumpsuit + Kimono
Smart Style: Stripes & Leopard
Happy Spring Break!!!! Spring has sprung and it's glorious! I know I talk a big talk about loving cold weather (and despising everything else), but man...it's hard to beat a crisp morning that blossoms into a clear, cool, beautiful day!
This striped tee is on repeat and I'm not sorry about it. Mainly because I just snagged another (almost identical one) from Old Navy this morning, and I think I may have a little obsession...Hello my name is Kristen, and I'm a striped tee addict.
This week, we're doing dance intensives for Tyler Bree, headed to H-Town tomorrow for the Houston stock show, and then turn around and head back to Houston again this weekend for a wedding (it's formal attire and I have NOTHING to wear!!!). Spring Break sure filled up with a bunch of little things that prevented us from going anywhere special, so I'm hoping we can make Houston kind of a getaway of sorts for the kids. Definitely for the girls at least, as their entire goal for the trip is to step inside the American Girl store...aka, "heaven" for little girls and "money pit" for adults.
What are your plans for Spring Break??? I hope it's a great one!!!! XOXO!
Smart Style {Long Sweater}
Hi-ya friends! Are you feeling as sluggish this post-DST Monday as I am? Sheesh...the gloomy weather doesn't help. I can hear my bed calling my name,
"Kriiiiiiiiiiiiiisten. Come baaaaaaaaack to meeeeeeeeee."
So I've got to tell you about the newest addition to join my closet. I rarely go to the mall....like hardly EVER. But last week I found myself with some time to kill and I just so happened to be near the mall. SO, into Forever 21 I went. I'm not a huge fan of F21, but when in Rome....plus I'm on the prowl for some cute cruise-wear (t minus 1 month!).
While I was in there, nothing really caught my attention until I spotted several racks of similar long sweaters. They were all gray, but cut differently. Telling myself they'd only make my legs look short, I went ahead and tried one on to prove myself right. To my surprise, it not only fell perfectly and was the ideal length, but it didn't make my legs looker short...imagine that! If anything, it was somewhat elongating! WHAT?!? A mere $20 later, that baby was heading home with me and thrown into an outfit as fast as it could. Seriously, I wore it both Saturday to bunco AND to church on Sunday. Normally I would say a piece like this can't be worn too often because it's fairly unique and memorable....
But watch me. (mic drop)
Smart Style: On the Cusp of Spring
Spring is in the air, isn't it? Well, more like...I can sense its imminent arrival. It's always a challenge to dress this time of year, seasonaly speaking. For me as a Texan, I try to get the most wear out of my winter clothes, because we don't have many cold/wintery days around here and I gotta get my bang for the buck. So when February comes (which basically is just early Spring for us), I'm torn between still wanting to savor those heavy winter pieces, while also feeling the urge to transition to lighter colors and fabrics.
This outfit serves both desires, as it can be worn in both ways. I paired it with boots here and layered a light jacket (jacket not pictured so the cool asymmetrical back hem could show) for a more wintery look...but next time I'll probably take it more Spring-like with heels and light scarf. I love how outfits can work double for me and my closet! Definitely plan to have these blush jeans on repeat! Aren't they just the perfect color!?!

Smart Style: The Perfect Date Night Outfit
>>> The clutch is the ideal accessory as it's so multi-purpose. It can hold any necessities (who wants to bring along their big ol' mom tote for date night?), can add a pop of color (hello RED!), and gives your hands something to do!
Summer Style As Of Late
This summer, man...I'm telling you what.
I had visions of relaxing pool days, free/open schedules, and basically living it up with all my kids home.
But it turns out, we've had an awfully busy summer so far...which has made it almost impossible for my blog about my summer style and outfits due to munchkins being my only possible options for photographers. There tends to a rather high degree of camera shake...shocking, I know.
So instead, I've tried to take some selfies of my outfits as of late, to hopefully one day do a comprehensive blog post about them and share some of what I'm diggin' these days of summer.
And today is that day!
