Check out some of my favorite things from the month of August! This might be my favorite monthly favorites post yet because I am loving all of these items so much!
I shared this dress on Instagram a couple weeks ago, and so many people loved it! My sweet mother in law sent me a "happy," which ended up being a gift card to Nordstrom. I still think that was the most thoughtful thing because she saw my posts about all of the things I was loving at Nordstrom, ordered a gift card for me because she doesn't have a Nordstrom near her, and then mailed it to me. So grateful! But anyway, I searched Nordstrom's website for hours, and couldn't stop going back to this dress that I spotted near the beginning of my research. When it came in, I loved it even more than the pictures I saw online because the material is SO soft and it has mint and white stripes! You can't tell in the pictures, but I can assure you there are stripes, and they are so cute! And obviously I have been loving all things with statement sleeves lately, and this dress has got those! The best part about it is that it is only $35! And it also comes in pink and black. Check it out!
Favorite Top
You may remember this top from my shopping trip with my mom and sister. My mom found it online and immediately knew she loved it and wanted to try it on. All credit goes to her for finding this score! It is so soft and comfortable. Plus, it is the best transition piece. It is not a heavy, thick sweater. It is actually pretty thin. I have been wearing it with white jeans and will most definitely be wearing it with leggings and jeans allll fall and winter long! You can be comfortable wearing leggings or skinny jeans with it knowing your behind is covered. It's such a great length! I linked it to Nordstrom because they have this top in 5 different colors. However, you can also click here to shop it at Dillard's, where they have 3 different color options, if that is your preferred place to shop! I personally want it in all colors. It does run big. I sized down to a small.
Favorite Bottoms
I actually bought these in July during the Nordstrom Sale, but they classify as my favorite bottoms to wear in August. I had never heard of Zella until the sale, and I have seriously been missing out. If you do not have a pair, trust me, and order them now! They are high waisted and so comfortable, but at the same time, they suck everything in! They have a no slip waistband, which I didn't know existed, but now believe is a must for all leggings. They are actually made for exercise. However, I wear mine as regular leggings, and I cannot say enough positive things about them!
Favorite Shoes
Credit goes to my mom again for finding these- maybe she needs to be the fashion blogger. She always finds the cutest things! :) Investing in a good pair of brown boots is a must. They go with everything and will be worn all fall and winter. We sized up half a size in these.
Favorite Accessory
My sister picked these earrings out, and when I was home for her birthday, I borrowed them every single day. Then, my mom got a pair for me when they went on sale! They are such a cute, simple earring with a little bit of fun because of the tassels. I found that the white ones can be worn with everything. They have them in several other colors too. Black would probably be ideal for fall and winter.
Favorite Outerwear
This cardigan is much more than I have ever spent on a cardigan, but as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it. I will most definitely get my money's worth out of this purchase. I LOVE it! I've been super into leopard print lately, but I am picky when it comes to prints that I actually like. And I actually love this print. I also love the length and style. Longer cardigans are very in style this fall.
I hope you enjoyed checking out my favorite things from August! Do you see anything you like? Thanks so much for reading! Have a great day!
