No matter what kind of Thanksgiving you're having this year, these four looks are guaranteed to keep you cozy and comfy while you stuff your face. Keep scrolling to check them out!
Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas
It it not lost on me that the holidays this year may look different or even be completely non-existent for some. My family is still hoping to have a small get together for Thanksgiving, but of course, that could quickly change in the next few weeks. In years past, I've usually dressed up for Thanksgiving, but honestly, my standards have gotten lower and lower with each month of 2020 that passes. 😂 So there's no telling what I'll show up wearing this year.

This dress comes in a ton of colors and would be a great holiday option! |

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020
Ahhhh, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. A craze that suddenly fills your Instagram feed with bloggers and shopaholics sharing faux fur coats, chunky sweaters, and suede boots in the DEAD of summer. I've only been shopping the N-Sale for the past two years, and I have to be honest, it's a little anxiety inducing. It's completely counterintuitive to be buying fall/winter items when temps will remain in the 80s (at least in Tennessee) well into October. And, like I said last year, "I hate that the power of influence makes you feel like you're missing out if you don't buy seventeen cowl neck sweaters just to put them away in your closet until December."
 |
Topshop flare legs jeans were an N-Sale purchase from 2018.
Also, took this photo in August. V Sweaty here. 😰
|
 |
| Steve Madden OTK boots were also a 2018 purchase. Worn these babies a lot! New version out this year. |
 |
| Finally jumped on the Spanx leggings bandwagon last year. I like to wear them with oversized sweaters and boots or make them more "athlesiure" by wearing them with sneakers, a tunic, and vest. |
Even at the sale prices, I still find most N-Sale items I'm interested in to be splurges, so I plan on sticking to some advice I heard last year: To avoid overspending, feeling overwhelmed and wondering why the heck you bought so much stuff you truly don't need, focus on only purchasing two to three items you are really loving. And remember, nothing from the N-Sale is worth going into debt over!!! I cannot stress enough that most items you see in the N-Sale will be similarly recreated at cheaper prices by other retailers later in the season.
Last year I only bought two things and ended up returning one. The year before, I bought two items as well. While I've scoured the entire Sale Preview online, I plan on only purchasing the following pieces this year.
1. Barefoot Dreams Cardigan - $67 / Originally $114
I wanted to buy a Barefoot Dreams cardi lsat year, but I'm glad I didn't. I wasn't totally sold on the style of last year's versions (not to mention the high price tag). Like the Spanx faux leather leggings that I purchased last year, I'm honestly just interested to see if this sweater lives up to the hype. *Side note: the Spanx leggings were a hit.
2. Patagonia Vest - $70 / Originally $100
I LOVE a good vest situation in the winter months. If you have any winter/holiday sightseeing plans, a nice vest is the way to go in my opinion. *Taking a moment to weep over the fact that we aren't going to NYC in December like we hoped.*
3. Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Color Trio - $58 / Originally $87
If I do end up purchasing these, it will be the first time I've ever bought anything other than clothes from the Nordstrom Sale. The N-Sale offers several discounted handbags, accessories, make up products, and home goods. Fellow Cookeville local and beauty blogger, Shelbey Wilson (whose videos have greatly improved my limited make up skills), raves about the Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks. I'm excited to try out this trio!
A Few More Tips
As they do every year, Nordstrom credit card holders have the opportunity to shop the Anniversary Sale first. Your cardholder status (Icon, Ambassador, Influencer, or Insider) determines the dates when you're allowed to shop. To all of those who don't plan on paying with a Nordstrom Card (🙋), Public Access to the sale begins on August 19th and goes until August 30th.
Historically, Nordstrom restocks some items that have sold out during Early Access. However, this cannot be guaranteed. Again, I'm not telling you to sign up for a Nordstrom Card by any means. Remember, if what you want doesn't get restocked, it probably wasn't meant to be! And, you will most likely find something similar later in the season.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: you really can't go wrong with a "winter white" sweater for the cold weather months. This one is fuzzy, warm, and oh-so soft. It even has some blush undertones. Looks perfect with a pair of jeans, but I can also see it layered over a plaid button up or paired with a tulle skirt.
Sweater Season with Luxe Boutiques
Cue the angel choir, sweater weather is finally here!!
And in about 2 more months, I'll be wishing for summer again. Ah...the circle of life.
But, in the meantime, I'm going to be tearing it up in as many cozy sweaters as I can. I recently stopped by Luxe Boutique here in Cookeville, and racked up on sweaters. They have so many cute new arrivals for fall and winter!
If you haven't heard of Luxe, it's a local boutique run by two girl bosses who happen to be sisters-in-law. They offer unique and fashion forward pieces for the modern day woman. The employees are always so friendly and helpful. They offer great styling advice for everyday looks or for special events. Luxe opened a second store front in Chattanooga, TN. And, if you're not in Tennessee, you can shop online at www.shopluxeboutiques.com.

| Sweater / Jeans / Similar Boots / Shades |
Can't stop won't stop with the retro vibes. Flare legs are BACK, and I'm so here for it. They look great with this chunky, olive sweater. It also came in three other colors that are simply perfect for fall. I sized up to a large for a roomier fit.

| Cardigan / Cami / Jeans / Similar Boots / Necklace / Earrings |
I'm a sucker for a good cardigan. They're truly so versatile. This cozy one from Luxe is perfect for work or play. Layer it over a cami and pencil skirt for work, or throw it on over a t-shirt and leggings for a travel day.

4 Looks for Fall with Maurice's
A few weeks ago, one of the managers from my local Maurice's slid into my DM's (in a non-creepy way) and invited me to come to the store and scope out all of the Fall arrivals. I have to admit, I was eager to go but not really sure what I would find because I truly hadn't bought anything from Maurice's since high school. The storefront isn't next to the other stores in town where I shop a lot, so honestly, I often forget about it.
I won't be forgetting about it again, though!
I was welcomed into the store by such friendly staff who truly love styling! They were super helpful in getting to know my personal style and recommending pieces that would fit that. They brought tons of cute options to the dressing room for me to try on. I so enjoyed feeling pampered by them and left with bags full of awesome fall pieces.
I created four fall outfits with some of the items I picked up from Maurice's, but you better plan on seeing several more. I've already made an order from their website (which often provides online only discounts), and because their fall pieces are both unique and classic, they can be styled in several different ways.
.
Look 1
How cozy is this look?! Someone take me to a pumpkin patch already!
This plaid babydoll top is so soft and lightweight. I love the peach undertones in the plaid as well and think it looks so pretty paired with deep red (hello holiday season...).
This sherpa vest feels just as fluffy as it looks, and believe me when I say that this bad boy will keep. you. warm.
Look 2
Fell in love with this poncho as soon as I saw it. Such a statement piece, and again, another top layer that will truly keep you warm. It's reversible too (the other side is tan), so you can just flip it inside out for a different look! Throw this poncho on over a cozy long sleeved shirt and leggings for a upscale version of loungewear. Or pair it with a dress and riding boots to feel deliciously equestrian.
Look 3
Anybody looking for something to wear to a fall wedding? Look no further! Maurice's has tons of cute dresses and jumpsuits that would be perfect wedding guest options. Depending on how you style it, this jumpsuit would also work for date night, a birthday party, concert, rehearsal dinner, or wedding/baby shower. I love it paired with this faux leather jacket to add some edginess to the florals.
Look 4
This look is my favorite! Probably because it fits into my 3 C's: cute, casual, and COMFY! This poncho (which comes in a few other colors) is soooo lightweight and soft. I can see myself wearing it with leggings and sneakers just as much as I can see it paired with skinny jeans and boots. These flare legs jeans are also full of stretch, and stretch pants are my most favorite friends.
I also really love the retro vibes of the flare jeans combined with the turquoise necklace and hair scarf. I truly believe I would have thrived in the 70s.
.
Which of these four looks is your favorite? Let me know in the comments section below! Be sure to follow me on Instagram and the LiketoKnow.it app to see more of my Maurice's finds, and reach out if you buy any of these pieces because I'd love to see how you style them!
Happy shopping!
XOXO,
Abby

Fall Finds from Wal-Mart
If you've been following me for longer than five minutes, you know that I'm a firm believer in the fact that you can stay on trend without breaking the bank. That's why I love shopping at places like Walmart. In years past, I feel like clothes at Walmart weren't the cutest. But recently, Walmart brands have been upping their game!
Walmart has changed their website recently to be a little more like Amazon and provide products from third party sellers as well as their own brands. I personally think it makes the website a little difficult to navigate, so I've done all the hard work for you and rounded up my favorite fall finds from Walmart!

Trending This Fall
Fall is fast approaching, and while I'm sad to see Summer go, I have to admit I'm ready for cooler temps, cozy layers, and ALL THINGS PUMPKIN!
I've been eyeing all the new fall trends that are slowly making their way into stores, and I'm seeing a few trends in particular that I think will be really hot (or should I say cool lololol) this fall!
Keep scrolling to check out four trends that I think will be pretty big this year.
1. Wide Leg Jeans
So, I actually haven't bought a pair of wide leg jeans myself yet, but that's only because they're ALWAYS SOLD OUT! These pants are wildly popular right now, and I can't wait to get my hands on some. They will look so cute paired with a pair of mules and a cozy sweater. Sign me up!
2. Animal Print
It appears as if leopard print and snakeskin are here to stay! Not that I was really worried. Leopard has been a staple in my closet for years, but I'm getting more into the snakeskin trend this fall. There are ways to pull off both prints in a subtle, classic way and without looking like you're going on a safari.
3. Warm Tones
If you follow me on Insta, you know I recently overcame my fear of mustard yellow, and it's perfect timing because these warm rich tones (golden yellow, burnt orange, olive green, chocolate brown) are all the rage. These colors literally look like fall, and the best part is they pair well with so many colors: denims of all washes, black, white, oh...and leopard.
4. Plaid
This is the trend I have the most difficulty with. As a third party observer, I LOVE plaid, and I can appreciate how others pull it off effortlessly. However, I struggle with how to style plaid. I usually end up feeling really dated and not trend. But I'm working on it! I think your best bet is to just pair your plaid piece with something super classic. Think plaid blazer, black skinny jeans, white tee, loafers. Simple, sleek, chic.
Are there any other trends you've been noticing that you're excited about?
Let me know what you think of these four trends in the comments section below.

What's In My Amazon Cart
One of my favorite things is when someone compliments something of mine, and I can say, "Thanks! It's from Amazon." Despite the fact that it's 2019, people are still usually stunned when I tell them that my adorable bracelet, dress, purse, or doormat came from Amazon. Only thing better than shocking my friends with Amazon purchases?? That free, 2-day shipping, baby. 😎
 |
| Guess how many things in this photo came from Amazon! |
My Amazon cart is full at all times. I know I've said this before, but if I ever accidentally purchased the whole cart, our bank account would be in a very bad way. Right now, I've got fall on the brain (why I don't know...it's 100 degrees), so my cart has a bunch of sweaters and cardigans but also a few pieces to finish out the summer in style.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019
The N-Sale is baaaaaack! And if I'm being honest, I hate it just as much as I love it. Like every shopaholic, I love a good sale, and the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is a great time to snag some splurge worthy items since the prices are majorly discounted. However, I kind of hate the exclusivity of the Nordstrom sale. I hate that tons of things sell out before public access starts (with no guarantees that they'll be restocked). I hate that your Instagram feed is filled with bloggers in over the knee boots IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY. I hate that the power of influence makes you feel like you're missing out if you don't buy seventeen cowl neck sweaters just to put them away in your closet until December.
So needless to say, very mixed emotions over here. 😂
I really wasn't even going to do a Nordstrom Sale blog post because according to a recent poll, most of you all aren't even planning on shopping it. But, after browsing through the sale items, there are in a fact a few things I want to buy when the sale opens to the public (fingers cross that they're still available), and I wanted to share them with you.
*Side Note: Fret not if the things you like at the Nordstrom sale sell out. I guarantee that there will be tons of similar (and cheaper) options available at other retailers when it's actually fall later in the season. *
Here are just a few things that caught my eye this year.
Everything you see below, plus some other great pieces are also linked on my N-Sale Picks Page.
·
However, after all of my shopping, I really only plan on buying a few things, three to be exact.
Keep scrolling to check them out!
I'm absolutely in love with these boots, but these are what I'm most hesitant to buy. The sale price is still $160, and that is a splurge for me. Especially since I bought a similar pair at Target last year for $40. Still thinking about it though because they truly would go with just about everything this fall and winter. They also come in black and a FIRE snakeskin print.
Ok, so Barefoot Dreams cardigans are all the rage because apparently they're super soft and cozy. There are a few styles available in this year's sale, but this one was my favorite. They also have blankets too which would make great gifts (OMG what if you got all of your Christmas shopping done in July? How awesome would that be?!). Anyway, hoping to snag one of these softies this year to see if they live up to the hype.
Speaking of hype....
These leggings were something I didn't purchase last year and then instantly regretted it. Seeing as I live in some form of leggings all winter long, I'm not really sure why I didn't jump on the chance to get a faux leather version.
*I tried a $15 pair from Amazon last year, and they were an ULTIMATE fail. 😂😂*
Again, I'm planning on buying these Spanx leggings this year to see if they're really as great as everyone says.
·
So, that's it! I only plan on buying 3 things.
While I love all of the cowl neck sweaters, cardigans, coats, and boots that are available, I know I can find similar options at a better price later in the season.
Are you shopping the Nordstrom Sale this year? Have you shopped it in the past? What are/have been your favorite pieces?
Let me know in the comments section below!

Abby
