Dear Dressing Room

Happy Friday! Happy Veterans Day! T.G.I F. Today we are going to talk about what every woman dreads – the store dressing room! Could the lighting be any worse? But there are times when you need a friend to help guide you through a new trend or two. Dear dressing room…

Recently, while Alicia of The Lush List and I were having lunch together to get caught up, we were discussing fall trends and how to best embrace them. It led us to a little exercise. I’m a huge online shopper because I like to receive items, try them on in my own closet, accessorize and sort through shoe options and then make a decision. I return what I don’t like or doesn’t work. This is a big time saver for me because I shop with retailers that provide FREE shipping and returns such as Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom.

See how we styled each other with fall trends. If you want to see what Alicia tried on be sure to click here to head over to her site.  By the way, the Nordstrom Fall Clearance sale continues through November 13 with 40% OFF! Click here to start shopping and save big! Here’s a styling tip: take a selfie in the mirror and then look at the picture on your phone. If the outfit looks good in the picture – buy it.

This weekend you will find me at Highland Park Village theater celebrating the Stars & Stripes Film Festival which benefits Sons of the Flag. Read this blog post for all the details and come out to join me for a film or two. Meet some military personnel and hear their amazing stories!

Thank you to those who served our country and fought for our FREEDOM!  xoxo- Tanya

Embrace the shiny trend with this great dress. More selects below.

I see everyone wearing this type of skirt. It’s very flattering. Pair it back with a neutral blouse.

Shiny dress for daytime? YES! Speaking of shiny, I love all of these pieces.

This is another way to wear this skirt. Make it more casual with a black peplum top and booties.

My favorite outfit of this day! The black peplum top, boyfriend jeans and black booties. Great everyday, casual look.

I’m finally getting to wear some of the fall items I got during the Nordstrom NSale in August. Yay, there’s a chill in the air! Cardigan (similar, mine sold out), jeans, booties, blouse.
