What's in my Bag- Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2014

Voluspa Two Wick Tin Candle Trio now $29.50 from $40.00.  They smell sooooooo good!

Voluspa Vermeil Three-Wick Candle Trio now $ 39.50 from $50.00. Excellent Christmas present to put away for someone. Theses candles last forever! 

Can you believe this is all I bought? I am on a budget and out of all the AMAZING things on sale this year these two items stood out because of the amazing price and I know they will last me forever. 

What to wear- LBD party!

LBD from Forever 21, neon pink skinny belt from J.Crew, and black jewel earrings from The Best of Everything.

I am always trying to find ways to spice up an LBD and before I left my apartment I threw on this belt.  It's amazing how much a skinny belt in a bright color can really slim everything out and break up the all black. I hardly ever belt dresses but this fit so well.

What to Wear- work in the summer

Gray baby doll top from Nordstrom, shorts from Express, Tory Burch bow flats from Nordstrom.

Wondering how to wear shorts to work? (only if they meet dress code!)

Make sure the shorts are long enough and loose enough so they are work appropriate. I love these shorts because they are dressy and loose but still flattering. Also I paired the shorts with a loose fitting top tucked in to slim everything out.  Finally I finish everything with closed toe and conservative shoes. 

What to Wear- happy hour with friends

White tank with built in bra from Victoria Secret online, Cynthia Rowley maxi skirt (can be worn as a dress!) from TJMaxx, silver sandals from DSW.

Perfect for a beach location happy hour! 

What to Wear- nighttime coffee with friends

Black sandals from DSW, black leggings from J.Crew, black sheer tunic low-high top from Forever 21, black tank under from Victoria Secret online, vintage looking silver silk jacket from Express.

Such a comfortable outfit but still fashion forward!
