[Chelsae Anne | Photography] TOP, SHORTS, MINI TOTE, SANDALS, SUNNIES, HAT: (c/o) Nordstrom Hello, hello from Houston! I’m back in Texas visiting my boyfriend and family for the weekend. Planning to be back in Florida tomorrow. Wishing I could buy a jet plane so that I could travel back and forth more often. Ugh, anyone else feel the same? Have you lived through a long distance relationship? If so, I would love to hear your stories and tips for making it work! Anyways, I’m so excited to share tonight’s summery look! This two-piece set (sold separately) from Nordstrom has quickly become a new favorite of mine. It features stripes and ruffles, is lightweight and very comfortable to wear. Worn together, this outfit has the perfect mix of feminine details to balance out the comfort, PJ-like feel of it. Worn separately, this striped top looks great with distressed denim shorts (which I almost wore instead of the matching shorts). My accessories (also from Nordstrom) feel summery but can definitely transition into the fall, especially if you live in places like South Florida or Texas. While shooting this look, a woman walked by and asked where I got my bag. I told her “Nordstrom” and that it was, “only $38.” She was shocked. She said it looked a lot like an Hermès bag she’s been wanting. #TwoPointsForSmartShopping What I love most about this faux-leather tote is that it’s reversible and versatile. It comes with a removable zip pouch inside and an optional strap to turn it into a crossbody bag. The size of it makes it easy to find your goodies and walk around town. Yesterday, I attached a silk scarf to it and it looked adorable! Definitely a must-have for fall. Also comes in a full-sized version. Click here to see it. Full disclosure: I walked by these sandals like 10 times before picking them up and trying them on. They were sitting on the shelf, untied and uninteresting – until, I tied the straps into a cute bow (instead of wrapping them around my ankle, like I usually do) and voilà! I was in love. How cute do they look paired with my tote?! #totes (literally) #adorbs They’re also reasonably priced and a great accent piece for a simple outfit like skinny jeans and a slouchy tee. Or, with a white ruffled dress! My sunglasses (get this, only $12) and hat are also from Nordstrom. Thoughts on tonight’s look? Questions about fit? Comment below!
