Lulu's blue romper for fallA few weeks ago, I put away most of my spring/summer wardrobe.  And while I’ve resigned to the fact that it’s only going to get colder and darker from here on out, I’m giving one of my favorite pieces from the summer one final farewell.

How to Wear a Romper for FallI wore this cobalt blue romper for nights out on the town over the summer, but bare legs and a lacy panel on the back just ain’t gonna fly in this weather.  To fix it up for fall, I added leggings, booties, and an amazingly textured jacket that I recently scored from H&M.  The final result: warm, comfortably and surprisingly chic.

One of my favorite sales of the year is here!  Nordstrom is having its half-yearly sale for women, juniors and kids where you can save up to 40% off on this season’s staples.  If I had my way, I’d buy it all.  Unfortunately, the wallet says otherwise and this girl’s gotta prioritize.

There are usually a few wardrobe essentials that I believe are worth the investment: jackets, shoes and handbags. They’re pieces that will stay with you from season to season and so when a sale like this hits, you know where I’ll be. Check out my favorites from each section and let me know what you’ll be scooping up during the half-year sale!
