Fashion Friday: Edition the one that almost wasn’t

I wasn’t going to do Fashion Friday this week. Sophie even texted me earlier and asked because we recorded a podcast and I told her I just didn’t feel inspired.

(Sidenote: You can find the podcast here if you missed it!)

But then I received an email from Nordstrom highlighting the 70’s trends that are in for the fall and I was like a moth to a flame. In the words of the VH-1 special, I LOVE THE 70’s.

So here are a few things I happen to be in love with: (mood ring not included)

1. slouchy faux leather tote

Love this in the cognac color.

2. cowl neck sweater

I saw this during the anniversary sale and fell in love, but it was sold out. Now it’s back – sadly not on sale – but the price is still really good. Love that it’s long enough to wear with leggings and it comes in several colors.

3. karly shift dress

This time of year I seek out anything maroon. Love that this could be a dress with boots or worn with leggings. And it comes in other colors including black.

4. topshop platform clog

What is this madness? A clog? Sign me up.

5. long crochet cardigan

This is a great light layer to transition into cooler weather. Even though I’m beginning to doubt I’ll ever feel cool again. Both literally and figuratively.

6. sunset avenue stripe knit duster

I have a sweater similar to this that I bought years ago and it’s still one of my favorites.

7. madewell flea market flares

I cannot even express my joy that flares are making a comeback. I haven’t tried these on but I plan to just as soon as I can get myself to a Madewell store because they have great reviews.

8. terrane wrap poncho

This is on sale at Anthropologie and I think it has a lot of potential to be a staple in my closet.

9. noonday collection tide pool earrings

Noonday Collection debuted their fall line yesterday and they have a lot of cute things, but these earrings might be my favorite.

10. i love your dress in black

Last week I featured the maxi version of this dress, but then I saw that it also comes in a shorter version and in several other colors and in plus sizes. This is such a great basic that can be dressed up or down, worn with a denim jacket, or under one of the long sweaters I showed above. Very versatile and easy.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.
