Nordstrom Shopping Finds (A Few Winter Pieces to Update Your Wardrobe)

I haven’t really been personal shopping with clients a lot recently (more closet clean outs) and haven’t really shopped a ton for myself, but I’ve noticed when I have plans (which is not as much these days), I’ve wanted  something a little more on trend to wear. I felt like my wardrobe needed a few updates for the rest of the season, so when Nordstrom asked me to cover women’s wear, I thought it was the perfect time to find some new, updated pieces! I found that I was wearing the same high-waisted, wide leg, lighter color denim jeans over and over because it updated my look (specifically all of the sweaters in my closet), so I needed a few more of options. I also wanted a few more non-itchy sweater and fun top options that I could wear to work as easily as I could running errands. And I really wanted a some new cool sneakers because Air Max’s and Air Jordan’s are back, and those were basically my favorite shoe growing up. So naturally, I was jonesing for them! Nordstrom’s website makes it really easy to find exactly what I’m looking for when I online shop. Plus, I love that they have free shipping and returns!

So, if you are looking for a few items to update your winter wardrobe, here are my recommendations:

The high waisted non-skinny jean look:

Finally, a high waisted non-skinny jean with stretch -Hallelujah! I’m digging the lighter color because it’s what’s on trend right now, so it gives an instant update to anything I pair them with!

With boots.

I’ve worn the snot out of my black skinny jeans, so I went looking for a black high-waisted, non-skinny jean, and I found this pair. They also have stretch, which I love!!! I like the way they look with boots, and I’ve also worn them with my new Air Max’s– I love how it looked!

with boots and sneakers.

Non-itchy sweaters and fun tops:

I love the purple color, detail down the front and puff sleeve of this next sweater! The only draw back is that it has 4% wool. I decided the cuteness far outweighed the tiny bit of wool. Plus, it’s a good price point. I mean, look how cute it is….

This next sweater feels like you are wearing a barefoot dreams cardigan. If you find yourself wearing lots of sweatshirts at home, you can easily add this sweater to your rotation. It’s that cozy. I’ve been wearing it with my high waisted jeans (because it’s slightly cropped), so I’m comfy cozy and stylish!

I find that I wear cotton sweaters more than all the other sweaters in my closet. I love how flattering and feminine this cotton sweater is because, usually, cotton sweaters are just the standard cable knit sweater look. I love the pink color….

and grey color, too…

I am a sucker for a cute sweatshirt. Especially a sweatshirt that doesn’t necessarily look like a sweatshirt and has a dropped puff sleeve! Plus, the price can’t be beat!

I fully realize the next top is not for everyone, but I freaking love it!!! Here’s the thing- sometimes when you are going to do a trend, it’s cool to really do it! It feels almost couture or runway ready, which is why I love it! But if you feel like puff sleeves make you look like a linebacker sometimes, this top may not be for you.

I love the puff sleeve on this next top, and I like how the sleeve tapers to the forearm because it makes it a little different than all the other puff sleeve tops! I like that this top can be worn really dressy or worn casually with jeans!

I’m partial to the black (because y’all know how much I love black), but…

…the cream is really pretty, too!

Sweater (XS)- ASTR the Label, Jeans- Paige

If you love the look of the top above but you’re partial to a v-neck and ruching (both combined make for a very flattering combination), this next top is for you!

Top (XS)- FRAME, Jeans- Paige

This next jacket is so darling! The picture does not do this jacket justice. When I wore it, my friend immediately commented on how cute it was. I like that this jacket can be worn dressy or casually. With a cute jacket like this, who cares what’s on underneath?

Jacket (petite)- Ulla Johnson, Jeans- Paige

Miscellaneous wardrobe updates:

I shared on Instagram that an easy way to look put together on Zoom calls is put on a cute earring and a headband! The head band hides grays and grease! I’m pretty partial to these new faux leather headbands. I have a big head and headbands feel awkwardly large and weird on me, but not this one!!!

Headband- Lele Sadoughi, Video of headband & shop full look- click here

I’ve been a huge fan of the Lulu Align joggers, but I have officially found a better, less expensive pair!! I like them so much more that I immediately gave my Lulu Align joggers away. I just knew I wouldn’t wear them when I have this new, better pair! And I’m officially in love with my new Air Max’s. They are so retro and make me feel cool (hahaha!).

Joggers (XS)- Zella, Sneakers (TTS)- Nike, Video of joggers & sneakers/shop outfit – click here

I hope you found a wardrobe update or two! I know I did – eeeek! If you found something, take a picture and share it with me! Just like my clients do! It makes me happy. Happy shopping!

    Hi Carly! I just got these jeans. They are great. But I’m 5’4” and I feel like they’re an inch or two too long. Do you think I can just cut them myself?? You’re the expert! Thank you!!

      Yes, I cut my jeans all the time! Cut them so they hit right above your ankle bone.

Do you want new hair growth in your eyebrows? I ha Do you want new hair growth in your eyebrows? I have a trick, and no, it’s not an expensive hair growth serum! It’s Castor Oil, so it’s all natural and inexpensive. Apparently, it’s been used for thousands of years dating back to ancient Egypt. Ok, and I use it on my eyelashes, too, but I’m doing that at my own risk. I don’t want to recommend this practice, since I don’t really know what it’s going to do to my eyesight. I know, call me crazy- it’s fine. 

Thanks to my friend, Michelle for telling me about this little trick!

I attended a funeral today of a friend who died of I attended a funeral today of a friend who died of mental illness. If my friend is strong enough to stand at the podium and talk about her husband and the hope her family has in the midst of their darkest days, then I want to honor both of them by telling you about my struggle with mental illness. My friend mentioned that many of her husband’s closest friends had no idea that he’d been struggling with mental illness for 3 years, and I realized that many of you, and probably some of my closest friends don’t know how long and hard my struggle has been with mental illness. For me my mental illness wasn’t the kind where I couldn’t get out of bed or out of the house, which would make it hard to tell I was struggling. For me it looked more like battling through the day and struggling with my own self condemning thoughts and emotions - shaming myself for being happy one minute and sad the next, or for not being happy all the time, looking around at all my blessings and not feeling gratitude, which made me feel like there was something wrong with me. It was hard to get excited. On some days I walked around feeling like a scared puppy in a big bad world with my emotions right at the surface. For me, my faith is very important to me, and I knew this was not the life God had for me, so I started to pray for help and deliverance. God started to lead me to help in a whole bunch of different forms, counselors, health practitioners, friends, medicine, trauma therapy, EMDR, books, excercise, the support of family, and most importantly, Christ and His word. 
For me, it was over a 10 year battle probably because I was overcoming a lot of trauma being raised by an alcoholic mom. But for you it may be longer or shorter or this isn’t something you struggle with at all (hallelujah!). If you do, your emotions and your struggle may be different. But I’m here to say, you’re loved. You are loved by God and by so many of the people around you. Don’t give up. Dig in and fight the battle that’s happening in your mind. Fight it like you would if you had cancer. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #mentalhealthmatters

Takes me right back to my middle school days, and I’m not sad about it! And yes, that’s what my closet looked like after trying to figure those outfits out, but it was fun! 🤷🏼‍♀️

How to get the cuffed denim look without buying a How to get the cuffed denim look without buying a new pair of jeans! You don’t need to buy a new pair of jeans to get the cuffed denim look! Just grab a pair of straight leg jeans from your closet, cuff them to be about an inch or 2 above the top of your ankle bone and use the nifty little gadget from this tutorial. Viola! Plus, the cuffed denim length makes it a heck of a lot easier to wear most of the shoes in your closet! #winning
