Hello Monday: Buying lately + #nsale giveaway


If you're like me, you did all your celebrating yesterday! But regardless, hope you all have a happy July 4th! It was a really great weekend. Productive, relaxing, and needless to say, I ate and drank my weight in food! I was also able to make it out to the mall and take advantage of some of the sales, so I thought I would round up some of my recent purchases for you today in lieu of sharing an outfit post. 


Buying lately 6/16
1- Destroyed shorts | 2- Purple tank dress | 3- Peach tee | 4- White dot lace peplum tee | 5- Joie black slip dress (shop black Joie dresses here)  | 6- Faux wrap fringe trim skirt | 7- Grey with white lace tee | 8- Stripe scoopneck pocket tee | 9- Leather tote (shop other Madewell totes here) | 10- Blue tank dress


As you can see, I am building on my summer wardrobe with a few basics. Nothing super extraordinary, but I felt I was lacking in tops that weren't such an oversized fit, simple tank dresses to wear on their own or as a base layer, and a good pair of cut off shorts! The skirt and tote were really bonus buys. I do think I have a bigger void in my closet when it comes to skirts, and I had been eyeing that tote forever. Although I did already wear it on the blog in last week's post here, I decided to showcase it in this post, too, because it is one of my all time favorite purchases this year! And that says a lot!

In case you missed my post last Tuesday, it was all about my fab finds in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale catalog! I have been telling myself that I need to avoid buying a single thing until the pre-sale kicks off on the 14th. I failed a bit this weekend, but half off at Loft was worth a temporary break on the ban! Alas, I will try and start fresh today. In the meantime, lucky for you, I've teamed up with a great group of bloggers to offer one reader a chance to win a $640 Nordstrom gift card! Think of everything you can buy with $640!!!!
