Summer Outfits from Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale, Bloomingdale’s and GibsonLook

admin

Hi friend! It’s our last day of school!!! Are any of you there with me?!  It feels like both a relief and a little bit surreal because I still haven’t shaken off the major hustle that was most of April and May!

That having been said, I’m so looking forward to slower paced days at home with my kids.  As they get older, you appreciate even more how quickly it’s all going.  With a teenager in the house, there’s only so many more summers he’ll be here at home with me!

And my heart goes out to all you mamas with graduating high schoolers this year.  I have several friends in the same boat and I’m hearing all the bittersweet swells of emotions.

Just know this: you’ve done an AMAZING job raising your kids and they are BLESSED to have you in their corner. ♥

Summer Outfits from Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s and GibsonLook

My Size Reference: I’m over 40, short (5’1) and petite, weighing about 110 lbs.  I typically wear size 0p/25 jeans, XSP/XS in tops and dresses.

I’m so crazy for the Paige Cindy high rise straight ankle jeans that you’ll notice they’re in my GIVEAWAY this month!  They are the kind of jeans you put on and they feel AMAZING on, and you can comfortably wear them all day long!  At the end of the day, you aren’t itching to get out of them like you are with some jeans.

The fact that they’re cut straight as opposed to skinny lends to that comfort factor.  They look great with both flats, heels, wedges or sandals.

I will say, being just 5’1, they aren’t as short on me as they’re supposed to be.  I’m going to throw them in the washer and dryer and see if they shrink up a bit.  If not, I’ll probably take a sharp scissor to the end and them them a tiny haircut.

The white is perfectly opaque and not see through at all.  If your white jeans have seen better days, try these! 

How fun is this crop citrus top?! The little ruffle detail at the neck and body are darling and it’s fully lined.

This bright pink caught my eye and I like how this top is on the dressed up side with the crisp cotton feel.  It has a collar, deep v neck (with a hook & eye closure to keep it closed) and twist front.  It zips closed on the side and also comes in white and black.

Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS and it was snug, the little hook & eye closure was holding on for dear life!

Isn’t this clip dot top cute too?! It’s definitely work to weekend friendly and I liked how soft and easy to wear it felt on. It’s hitting me just above the elbow and has a fun rusched detail.

Gauzy perfection describes this button down top perfectly.  It’s casual and effortless and also have a fun button detail on the back. Also in white and sage green, but isn’t the pale blue pretty?!

In my book, it’s not summer without white cotton eyelet. This top is beautiful in person with all the eyelet and scallop detail. I left it untucked so you could see the pretty hem, but it also looks great tucked in.

I wore this top in NY for the Amazon Live Creator event with jeans at the beginning of the month.  I felt very chic, but also incredibly comfortable!  The top definitely makes a statement with the gorgeous lace detail and it’s fully lined underneath.  There’s a button hole and closure behind the neck.

Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS.  It doesn’t have stretch, so size up if you’re in between sizes

These are the same white jeans I’m wearing above in white.  I liked them so much that I got them in two colors!

A crop top, sweater or cardigan always gives you the longest leg line with high waist jeans.  This short cardigan has the cutest pointelle knit detail and you can wear it with a flesh toned bra like I am here, or layer a cami underneath.

MOTHER BLUE JEANS OUTFITS

Ribbed tank, Jeans, Wedges

Top code HONEY10JeansWedgesCrossbody

For this set of outfits, I changed into the Mother Jeans – Dazzler Mid Rise Ankle Straight Jeans.  I don’t normally opt for mid rise jeans, having become much more comfortable in high waist jeans, but these surprised me.  They feel really good on my waist (and hips), they’re just a a bit too long in the length.

The color is really pretty, a relaxed light blue with some natural looking fading at the thighs and a raw edge hem.

The top is a stretchy, medium weight ribbed knit with adorable flutter sleeves and a high neck.  With the conservative cut, this top will take you from work to weekend.

I also like the fit and feel of this gauzy textured top.  It has an airy, open v-neck with flutter sleeves.  Those kinds of sleeves are playful, but also help create the illusion of a smaller waist since they’re a bit wider and draw more attention up. This top is also fully lined and a pretty pink shade.

A charming work to weekend top here too.  This one is flirty and feminine with an ivory background and blush colored florals.  It’s a silky polyester overlay that’s fully lined underneath.  That little ruffle hem is too cute!

SHORTS OUTFITS

Tank, Shorts, Sandals

TankShortsSandals

If you’re looking for an ultra comfy pair of shorts that aren’t jean shorts, this pair by Billabong is a great option.  They’re an incredibly comfortable pull on style with an elastic waist and drawstring tie.  They’re slightly higher on the sides with a curved hem, giving you a longer leg line.  I also like that they have pockets.

The shorts come in several colors and I almost got the off black and warm yellow, but this light blue is awesome and will go with so much!

Tank Fit: I’m wearing an XS 

Shorts Fit: I sized up to a Small, so they wouldn’t be too short

This is the same style shorts in a stripe.  Very cool and you can treat the stripe like a neutral when considering what top to pair with it.

DRESSES

Floral Print Maxi Dress

Oh friend, this dress is so gorgeous! It’s floral perfection against a dark background which makes it great for day or evening.  The top has a plunging v, but I’m wearing a regular bra and it’s still hidden.  The ruffles are artfully placed and they skirt has beautiful movement!

This dress is a stunner in such a fun, vibrant hue.  It has spaghetti strap shoulders and a criss cross front and back.  It comes with the coordinating tie belt and then the skirt is a little bit high/low.  It would be a great dress for a lively summer party!

This is a unique dress because you can wear it two ways – with the v-neck in the front or back!  The opposite side is a wide crew neck style.  It’s stretchy and relaxed fitting with a thigh high side slit.

This floral puff sleeve dress is sassier on than I thought it would be.  That sweetheart bodice with a ruched front and tie emphasizes your cleavage. It’s fitted at the waist with a skirt that’s hitting me at the knee.  The back is smocked at the waist and open in the upper back with a tie.  I love how the longer puffed sleeves compliment everything.

I buy pajamas by Honeydew on repeat because they are so comfortable to both lounge and sleep in.  If it’s too warm for a long sleeve top, I’ll wear a tank instead, but I like to put on the long sleeve top in the morning over the tank.  I’m crazy for the soft colorblocking in this set.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but this henley style pajama top is supposed to come with shorts and my order was missing the shorts.  I was so bummed when I realized! How cute is that baseball inspired henley top?!
