Nordstrom Recap

I know I am a few weeks late on this post but I hope all my readers can forgive me. Life has been a bit hectic and finding the time to sit down and write a blog post these past few weeks has been nearly impossible, I am sure many of you can relate, but that's a story for another day.

So my shopping trip with my sister and mother was quite successful. I did not buy much (which is probably a good thing), but the items I did get I fell in LOVE with. I ended up purchasing the most amazing boots and the perfect fall accent to my wardrobe. I bought the Steve Madden "Gretell" in brown suede. It is hard not to wear them every day before fall but they don't quite compliment the weather since we are finally experiencing summer in the PNW.

What I loved most about these boots was the versatility. They are classic brown suede, have a sturdy heel, and can be work with colored skinny jeans, tights, dresses, leggings, and skirts. They offer so much function and value plus I feel they make a subtle statement without being overwhelming.

The other statement piece I bought was the beautiful ivory Dee Elle Lace Shift Dress that I find to be perfect in every way. It has lace, a sexy scoop in the back, a conservative front, and can be worn in spring or fall. It is was worth every penny, and a steal at under $40 on sale!This dress is perfect for any occasion. I intend on dressing it down with a denim jacket and boots, or dressing it up with colored tights and a cute pair of flats. I can't wait to wander around the many coffee shops and farmer's markets Seattle provides in my new fall finds!
