Make a Difference with Nordstrom Made

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle Collective, and contains affiliate links.

It has gotten so cold outside! And although I want to look cute when I step out, I am not trying to freeze in the process. This year I’m also trying to make the best purchases for both myself and the planet. So, when it comes to staying on trend and warm, I shop sustainable items and do my part to help make a difference with Nordstrom Made brands.

I’ve often shared that one of my favorite ever Nordstrom Made brands is Treasure & Bond. What I may have not shared is that my favorite trending item is the puffer jacket. Finding a sustainable long puffer jacket by Treasure & Bond was the best possible discovery!

I’m the most excited to wear it all winter long. Here are two of the ways that I’ve styled it already–

Since my style is more on the casual side, I had to wear it with my favorite sustainable jeans and a new ribbed tank top that I picked up with the puffer jacket with the comfy boots I essentially live in.

This dress is actually one that I’ve had for a while, I absolutely adore it and cannot recommend it enough. And with the boots and bag that everyone has been raving about, what’s not to love about this look?

One of the best things happened when I purchased my puffer jacket, I was able to use $20 in Nordstrom Notes and ended up technically also getting the Treasure & Bond ribbed tank for free! If that’s not your sign to sign up for The Nordy Club, then I don’t know what is. It’s free to join and you earn points towards Nordstrom Notes when you shop, which you can use to spend with Nordstrom later. As well as free shipping and returns, and curbside pickup.

2 Ways to Wear Something: Leopard Print Skirt

Not the first time I’ve mentioned this, but although Agnes & Dora is best known for it’s amazingly comfortable leggings, their other items are equally as comfy and cute!
Agnes & Dora skirt two ways.

What I like most about their leopard print skirt (other than the leopard spots, obviously…), is the fact that it looks great both dressed up and kept casual.

Holy chic! Right?

Holy chic.

The second way is actually how I wore it to The Lady Project Summit this past Saturday. Oddly enough, I started to prepare for the summit by mentally picking out my outfit.

Major fail!

I ended up not having anything ready until after I did my makeup that morning.

Even though my outfit was kind of just quickly thrown on, I like to think I looked very much so put together. (I attribute that to the cape blazer.)

What do you think?

2 Ways to Wear Something: Cape Blazer

Blazer

Of all the Who What Wear pieces I picked up, the one that had me rush out to Target in the first place was the cape blazer.

I had been wanting to grow up my wardrobe a little bit, and this blazer do just that. And in a trendy way. Now, usually I’m not all that big on trends, but this is one that spoke to my very core.

Everything I’m wearing in this post, aside from the cape blazer that is, isn’t exactly new. The actual items are no longer available from where I got them.

Call me crazy, but I am such a sucker for Valentine’s Day!

While I may not be the mushy type, that doesn’t mean that I don’t value love. Speaking of love, today my sister and I are going to an event all about celebrating self-love.

In kind of honor of said event, I’m sharing two Valentine’s Day inspired looks featuring the perfect red winter hat that I found on clearance at Target, after almost giving up hope!

2 Ways to Wear Something: J. Crew Stadium-Cloth Cocoon Coat

Orange Coat

My little nook of New England finally got hit with some snow.

But not before I was able to put together a couple of outfit with wear with a winter coat.

This J. Crew Stadium-Cloth Cocoon Coat was my most recent wardrobe investment. I got it last winter and it was definitely worth it for how often I wear it.

You can also save big by getting it from J. Crew Factory!

I wanted to show you just how easy it is to wear it both casually and a little more formally. And if a pair of overalls and a tight little black dress don’t demonstrate that then I don’t know what else could.

I told you I’d make an effort to wear my So Kate heels more.

And given how cold out it is now, I’ll probably be doing the same thing with this coat.

A lot!

I am far from rich, so I don’t have many investment pieces.

My Christian Louboutin So Kate heels are my among my utmost possessions. I saved, and I mean saved, up for these bad boys like you wouldn’t believe! I love wearing them, because they’re gorgeous little works of art. Plus, they make my legs look AMAZING.

However, they aren’t exactly the most comfortable shoes, so I don’t wear them very often.

My go to makeup look is a very subtle smokey eye and glossy nude lip.

This jacket was a wardrobe upgrade, after a sticker left a mark on my old moto jacket and the clutch I got pre-loved.
