President’s Day Sales + Fitting Room Reviews

Fitting Room Reviews collage

It seems like getting out of the house to run errands is extremely rare these days.  You know I’m going to take full advantage any chance I get (lol).  Before we get into the fitting room reviews, it’s President’s Day Weekend and the sales are pretty good!  Nordstrom is having a winter sale – up to 40% off!  Tons of goodies marked down!  Click HERE to shop the sale.  These are very similar to my favorite booties and currently 40% off!  My Eller ankle booties are also 40% off.  I’m considering getting these adorable scalloped booties – so cute!  I also saw some Hunter Boots and Stuart Weitzman boots marked down – very rare.  Make sure to go to the end of the blog post to see all my sale picks!

Get an extra 40% off sale styles at Anthropologie – love this and this.  Click HERE to get 40% off at Ann Taylor or an extra 50% off sale styles with code: WEEKEND.  LOFT is running a similar promotion – 40% off everything (use code: HAPPY) and an extra 50% off sale items (no code needed).  My favorite tweed bell sleeve jacket is on sale for only $35!  See previous review HERE.  I found THIS in the clearance section and OMG they are the softest leggings I’ve ever touched!  I didn’t have time to try them on but they look tiny on the hanger.

Camo moto jacket (xxsp) // Striped pullover sweater (xxsp) // Banana Republic jeans (similar HERE) // Ferragamo Vara pumps

I randomly saw this jacket and typically would shy away from anything camouflage but it looked so cute that I had to throw it on.   Low and behold, it’s adorable!  The camo print is very subtle – which I love.  The fit is seriously amazeballs!  The sleeves are narrow and fit perfectly.  It also comes in 3 colors and available in regular and petite sizes!  I’m trying on XXSP and quite possibly the best fitting jacket in a long time.  The photo doesn’t do it any justice – it looks way cuter in person.  It’s pricey but may be worth it if you wear it often.  Would highly recommend!  So happy my local Anthropologie carries petite sizes in store.

I stopped in LOFT and tried on as much as I could given the lack of time I had.  My local store has the smallest petite section. 🙁 I wasn’t thrilled with anything but wanted to share these just in case you may be interested.  Here are some other sale picks:

Loft Sale Picks

Sailor pencil skirt (00P) // Mixed floral lace shell (xxsp)

This sailor pencil skirt is back this year but in a bright fireball red. See the striped version from 2015 HERE.  I’m trying on 00p and sizing runs big (again).  The waist seems to be about the same size as previous years but the hips and bottom seem to be a lot roomier.  I like the length and the color is great for spring.

Flowerbud Mixed Media Sweater (xxsp)

This sweater didn’t do much for me and sizing runs generous. The budding pattern is in the front hem and also in the back.  I think there are cuter options HERE.

Mixed floral lace shell (xxsp)

This top is pretty but I didn’t like how it looked on me.  I think it would look much better layered under a blazer or cardigan and tucked in a pencil skirt (see above photo with the sailor pencil skirt).

Lily Tab Sleeve Blouse (xxsp)

I love yellow and this lily print is super pretty.  Sizing runs large and the button tab sleeves NEVER seem to work for me.  They always end up unrolling or looking sloppy.  I’m trying on XXSP and it’s big. I would recommend sizing down if possible.  I can see this looking cute with a white pencil skirt and pumps for work.

Loft petite ruffle cuff top

Ruffle cuff top (xxsp)

I purchased a similar top last year and never even bothered to post it because it was so thin and disappointing.  Not sure if it’s exactly the same but from what I remember, it’s pretty close.  This years version is slightly better however sizing runs HUGE.  I’m trying on XXSP and it’s very wide and long.  I love the color and concept but I think they could have done better with the fit.

Loft MOSAIC SQUARE SILK SCARF

Mosaic silk scarf

I’ve been looking for a pretty silk scarf to tie around my neck and this one is super pretty!  Click HERE for more options on sale.

Tweed Bell Sleeve Jacket, Chloe marcie small satchel, Bow pumps, business casual outfit

Tweed bell sleeve jacket (xxsp) // Ann Taylor striped shirt (old, similar HERE) // Banana Republic jeans // Halogen bow pups (another option HERE) // Chloe satchel // Crystal round necklace (similar HERE)

My tweed bell sleeve jacket is now $35!  This is a great deal!  You can read the full review HERE. I would highly recommend – it’s the cutest jacket ever!  You can wear it to work or casually with jeans – it’s very versatile.

Anthropologie Lombok Armoire

This is completely not fashion related but I saw this gorgeous armoire and shared it on my Insta stories.  It’s such a dramatic and beautiful piece of furniture.  If only I had the space for this!

Eyelashes trinket dish

How adorable is this eyelash trinket dish?  It looks like it’s sold out online but there were tons in-store. I believe you can order from the store and get free shipping!

Nordstrom sale picks:

These beauties aren’t on sale but I just ordered them last night – couldn’t resist.

c/o Lace dress (size small) // Hat (similar HERE) // Tory Burch handbag (similar HERE) // Ann Taylor pumps (similar HERE)

Four way convertible cardigan (size PP, 40% off) // J.Crew tee (similar HERE) // Banana Republic jeans (love these HERE) // Prada tote // Vince Camuto booties (similar version HERE or similar HERE) // c/o Ily Couture necklace (similar HERE)

P.S – please excuse my chipped nail polish and un-manicured nails.  I’ve been doing my own nails at home and using a non-toxic nail polish for the past two years.  I stopped going to the nail salon when I got pregnant and plan on waiting until I’m done breastfeeding.  Those days of having pretty and perfect nails are long gone. 🙁
