Work Wear Basics

Hi all!

Working in an office has made me hunt for the perfect work shoe, dress, pant, blazer, etc. I've found some great essentials that I wear on repeat, and I know a bunch of y'all would love them too!

1. Black & Gray Wrap Coat - I love a good coat! They make your outfits look so chic. Amazon has a bunch of great options. I also love this gray one on amazon as well! 
2. Classic LBD - I have searched high & low for the perfect black work dress. Not too tight, not too short, comfortable, versatile. Suitably keynote dress checks all those boxes! The brand is doing amazing things and is run by my friend Annabel which is amazing! It is crazy how IG can connect you to people and you can become friends. Check out Suitably for their affordable workwear pieces.
3. Grace Karin Paper Bag Pants - The Holy Grail of pants. I can not even put into words how much I love these! I have black and olive. They can be dressed up or down, the quality is amazing. Not to mention they are super comfortable. I will most likely be ordering another color for spring!
4. Puff Sleeve top - A great basic. This is good in the summer alone, and great in winter/fall under blazers. They tuck nicely into skirts/pants as well. I have black & olive green.

Nordstrom Sale 2019 #NSALE2019

Hi all! I know there are so many people talking about the Nordstrom Sale so I am not here to talk your ear off. This is the first year I can shop early access because I've worked every year of the sale. I'm excited to get first dibs! I ordered a lot of basics. There seems to be a lot of great and chic work wear & chunky sweaters. I'm also looking to buy a good coat this sale! Chicago winters are tough and my old one needs to be replaced.

Without further ado, here is what I ordered/ am going to order. For reference, I'm mostly a M/L. In pants I either do 8/10.

Happy shopping! What are you hoping to grab this sale?
