I broke my Nordstrom virginity the other day. I’ve been in it of course,but never actually purchased anything there with my own money. I was in a weird mood and I was determined to find something in that store that I could afford. I went over to the shoe department and saw these Jessica Simpson booties and immediately knew that was going to take my v-card. They are so gorgeous. Photos do not do them justice. Plus, I am about six foot in them so there isn’t a near foot height difference between Andrew and I. I tried them on. I looked at the price, which wasn’t bad because they were on sale, and knew they were for me. COME TO MAMA BOOTIES.

Peplum: Target

Oh, and want to know what my favorite new styling trick is? Wearing a button down underneath a peplum! I have no idea why I didn’t think of this before but is it a) comfortable and b) so easy! Definitely going to be doing this with out peplum tops that I thought would be stuck in my closet for the fall and winter.

Peplum with a shirt layered underneath, oh my gosh, brilliant!! I've had my eye on a peplum top but wasn't sure if I should go for it, since it's getting cold out… but, this is such a fab idea! And yay, on the boots – they're beautiful!

I can't get over that you've never bought anything in Nordstrom before. I would literally live there if I could, I buy everything there.
Love your look!

These are SO sassy and amazing. Nordstroms is one of my favorite places to get shoes and jeans–they always have a killer selection!

I'm not going to lie, I find this talk of v-cards mildly creepy. But I do think those booties are gorgeous and your layering trick here is genius! I am going to have to try it out!

I need to steal this idea to get more wear out of my sleeveless tops!! Seriously, I'm a stooge for never remembering to do it. 😛 Love those boots. Nordstrom Rack is my go-to place because I'm still intimidated by regular Nordstrom. So glad you splurged though! <3

Those ankle boots are awesome, but I looooove you in that peplum top! It works really well for your figure and gives you great shape!
Nikki
First of all, you totally crack me up! I love it. I wish I had a Nordstroms near me… Second, the boots are fab. Totally worth losing the V card for those! This look is perfect.

so funny – I just made my first nordstrom purchase about 6 months ago. same story, I had always gone in but never actually bought something. now I'm hooked!

The first thing I noticed was how great the blouse looked under peplum- I had never thought of that before either! You look fantastic! And those boots are beautiful. My mom always shopped at Nordstrom when I was growing up (oh mom, instilling the shopping bug early) so I would occasionally get one or two "big" (think: Bobby Brown eyeshadow) gifts there every year. I don't shop there that often because of the prices, but they have the best stuff.

I love Nordstrom! Just got a great pair of black boots there this weekend actually! I've been shopping there with my mom for as long as I can remember so it's crazy to me that this is your first purchase! Maybe it's just more of a Pacific Northwest thing. You look great though!

Beautiful shoes!! I've never bought anything from Nordstrom, but probably because the nearest one is in another state!

Jessica Simpson makes some good shoes…

Those booties are gorgeous!!! I have to say I am still a Nordstrom virgin too, although you're making me think I should change that, pronto.
LOVE the idea of wearing a button up underneath a peplum top!
