Sensibly Styled » Nordstrom

Hi guys!
I’m been on the hunt for a great deep navy bridesmaid dress. The wedding is in SLC, UT in June… aka its gonna be WARM!I want something sensibly priced, short sleeved and adorable! It doesn’t need to be ridiculously fancy but I don’t want anything cheap. Perhaps a simple A-lined dress? Or wrap-around? Any good finds?
You guys are the best!!!
Amy

oh, the navy bridesmaid dress…this was my dilemma two years ago. There are definitely a lot more choices now! I’m kind of jealous…Congrats!

Maybe it’s the bright orangey reds that are catching my eye today, but either way, this dress is lovely.

Lovely dresses.

Some lovely and modest dresses at Nordstrom right now. Pink Dress, Blue Dress, Black Dress.

Actually, after looking at the black dress for a minute… I realized it’s the same as the William Riera Camilla Dress that I posted last week! Am I right? You’ll save $30 if you go with the Camilla!

Wedding Anxiety

Dear wonderful gals at Sensibly Styled,

I am having a wedding wear problem. Please help if you can.

My sister is getting married in October (Oct.2) in Oakland, CA and it is a “casual dress” wedding. As in, her hubby will be wearing Chuck Taylor’s for the ceremony. She has expressly forbid me- or anyone else for that matter- from wearing a dress at all. This is problematic for me as dresses are what I think I look best in. I purchased a pair of Gap linen pants in deep navy and am desperately searching for something affordable and stylish without being “dressy”. I am 5’5″ and a solid size 12, so I also need something that works for curvy girls like me. Do you think you could help me out?

Thank you so much!!!

Ashley:

I picked out a simple, yet classy top from Ann Taylor for you. They definitely have it in your size. It has some detail at the top to make it more than just a plain blouse but not so much that your sis would suspect you of being dressy.

You won’t believe I’m saying this readers but I would tone down the jewelry so you don’t look like you’re overdoing it.

A few stackable bracelets like the ones below and that lovely statement necklace would be small enough to complete the outfit perfectly.

A sandal would be preferable to make you more casual but since it will be colder I assumed you’d prefer closed toe. I thought this bootie was lovely.

Hope this helps your wedding anxiety.

Ciao Ciao and Happy Shopping!

So, last week when I was home, I went into Nordstrom and saw these Zigi Girl ‘Must Have 10′ Sandals. Usually my style consists of nothing that would draw attention to me, but I tried them on and LOVED them!!! What do you think? Would you ever wear something like this?

How was your fourth?

What to wear: What I wore for my 3 year wedding anniversary…

Natalie — Wed, 26 May 2010 18:42:52 +0000

So… for our 3 year anniversary we just went out to eat at a place downtown called Root Down. And let me tell you… it was delicious! Then when we got home I made Zach watch Dear John with me and there were two rules: no complaining, and act like you like it! And surprisingly he followed them! ahha I of course forgot my camera so this is a picture we took after dinner. Like Zach’s outfit? Maybe I can get him to put a post up about where to find his clothes… oh wait. I know, it would go like this: Goodwill, Crocs. That’s what my husband wears, and I love it. Anyways, if you care, here are the links to my outfit.

Top, Pants, Headband, Shoes.

p.s. this is the haircut I gave myself. And after I cut my hair, Zach decided to shave his own head (first buzz cut of our marriage). We are cool like that.
