Can you go wrong with a black dress? 

I almost didn’t want to include this dress in this series because it does get worn a lot, but I think it’s such a good go-to dress for summer I had to share!

The Nordstrom Anniversary sale is here! 🛍️ Do I l The Nordstrom Anniversary sale is here! 🛍️

Do I love this sale? 
Yes? 
Am I going to be sharing a 100 must have items from the sale that you need to shop? 
No!!

I browse this sale every year and create a wishlist! When it comes time to actually shop, that’s when I narrow down my purchases and decide what I actually want. Some years I buy something and other years I skip it. 

I will say that when I do buy something in the sale, it ends up being one of my favorite things and gets worn or used all the time. These are some of my favorite things that I own and love that are included in the sale this year!

Day 1: Life is short, wear the dress 👗 One of my Day 1: Life is short, wear the dress 👗 

One of my goals this summer is to wear as many of the clothes I already own. I have a lot of dresses that I haven’t had the opportunity to wear yet. 

I shared this dress in my summer capsule wardrobe, but haven’t had the opportunity to wear it in real life. So I wore it this week to run errands. 

Keep following to see what other dresses I’ll be wearing. And if you have any dresses hanging in your closet this is the season to wear them!
