I spotted these booties during the Nordstrom anniversary sale and I immediately fell in love. Then, I immediately wanted to cry. They were all completely sold out. I went on a mission to find some similar ones and the only other ones I could find that I liked were the ones I have been constantly wearing from Sole Society. I do still very much love those as well! I kept checking Nordstrom’s website and they came back available to order but they were on backorder. I am totally an “instant gratification” type of woman but I loved these so much I decided I could wait. Well, they FINALLY came today and I love them even more than I thought I could. These shoes are going to take everything I wear with them to the next level. There is so much detail, they’re the perfect heel height, they’re a great neutral-gray color, they’re comfortable, they’re made well, I could go on and on. You can find them here. Go, order now!!
This first look I would call a “date night” ensemble. The top has some sex appeal but isn’t too sleazy. The best part, it is only $12! I am wearing a medium. It is a little tight across my chest but that isn’t an unusual problem for me. It also isn’t very long but I think it works. The distressed gray jeans are from Express and they are so comfortable. They’re mid rise and they have a great stretch. My jeans are a size 6 short. Express jeans are buy one get one 50% off right now. I threw a cardigan over the outfit as you see in the picture on the right. My cardigan is several years old and from Old Navy. I don’t think it is available any longer but Nordstrom has a great similar option here.
For colder weather you can pair the same gray jeans with a cozy sweater! Oversized sweaters are going to be a big trend this season. I snagged this one at American Eagle last year. It is also no longer available but they have this option which I actually like better!
I would totally rock this look for a girl’s night out. This outfit is a basic, fitted little black dress with the same cardigan mentioned earlier from Old Navy. My little black dress is from Old Navy and it is also several years old. (I am a clothes hoarder) LBD’s are so easy to find though because they are a STAPLE! Lulu’s has this option which I LOVE!! I am pretty sure I need it too. You can never have to many LBDs.
I have two more casual options here. These are great for transitioning from the summer to fall. If it is cooler outside you can pair a flannel with shorts and if it is still warmer out you can wear a tee with shorts. My shorts are from Express and are sold out but American Eagle has a similar option here. And they’re on sale! My flannel is from American Eagle and it is the softest flannel ever! Mine is a medium and it does gap in the chest. (And that drives me crazy!) You can throw on a dark colored cardigan if you have that problem too. There are 13 color options in this flannel now. You should get all 13 because flannel is going to be a go-to this season. The tee is from Old Navy. I am wearing a medium and it fits great but I do not dry it. Old Navy tops tend to shrink in the dryer but otherwise they are great for the price!
ALWAYS BUY THE SHOES!
