deal of the day

 

Dress top/skirt combo: SheInside // Dress: SheInside // Shift Dress: Dolce & Gabbana

I had a rush of nostalgia come back to me this past week. Knowing it was recruitment at The University of Missouri, knowing that in 18 years my little girl will (hopefully) be going through rush, I found myself thinking a lot about how terrible it was as a freshman to go through it but how sad it was as a senior to know it was the beginning of the end. 

Now, more than ever before, I am realizing just how fast life breezes by.  Maybe it's the fact that I'm staring motherhood square in the eyes, or maybe it's because I ran into my 6th grade softball coach last weekend, and it was as if not a single day had gone by. Whatever it is, life's moving fast and although a lot of excitment and joy are right around the corner for me, I'm allowed to be a little nervous for what's in store. 

However, I don't need to be nervous to finally "pull the trigger" on a dress I've been drooling over for 3 months now. (And no, I will not be purchasing the $5,000 D&G number. Something tells me if wouldn't have the same effect with baby throw up all down the front side.)

The most wonderful time of the Year

Blanket //  Riding Boots // Perfume // Crossbody // Coin Purse // Thong // Sweater // Leather Dress // Jacket // Necklace // Top // Boyfriend Jeans // Black boots

Forgive me as I go on my annual rant about my most favorite time of the year. Some people think Christmas is the best time of the year and that's their own personal opinion. I, on the other hand, find it way too cold, the pressure to impress people with gifts and holiday parties is overwhelming at times and don't even get me started on the time it takes to decorate your house.

My favorite time of the year is right now. Why? For one reason, and one reason only...THE Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Sure, I am a little biased to this sale as I successfully worked 6 of these sales in the past.  At the time I hated every waking minute of it. Not even kidding, in the slightest. Until you can call yourself a "Nordy Girl" and have worked at least 1 of these, you will never understand the work, preparation and sheer exhaustion one goes through to make sure you, as a consumer, gets the deals you are coveting. The most important thing to remember about this sale is when it's over on August 4th...prices go back up to original price. That's even if these items make in through the entire sale without being sold out.

Above are a few of the items that are 1. things I must have, or, 2. ACTUAL deals. meaning, these items NEVER go on sale (like, ever) except for these 17 days of the anniversary sale.
