Fall Outfit Inspiration
And just like that, it’s the start of a new week. Practically a new month as August 2023 makes its debut tomorrow! The dog days of summer have arrived, and August is a crazy month for yours truly as I turn 65 this year, and we celebrate three other birthdays! But today, I’m interrupting our regularly scheduled summer programming to share How I styled my outfits from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. And, yes, this epic July sale is winding down. As a matter of fact, this is the last week to purchase fall clothes at sale prices. So today, I’m sharing two outfits I scored from the sale with Fall Outfit Inspiration!

Fall Outfit Inspiration
Wide Leg Jeans
First up is an outfit straight out of the 70s, one of my favorite fashion decades that found me navigating tweens to teens to a 20something. The wide-leg jeans with square pockets are exactly the type of jeans I wore back in 1978. And I can’t sing the praises enough of this gauze blouse made from organic cotton with delicate details. It’s a dream to wear even in August.
If you’ve followed the blog from the beginning, then you might remember this belt by Agnés B. It’s been retired for the most part, as many of the crystals have fallen out, and I can’t seem to figure out how to repair it. It comes out of storage for special occasions such as adorning a favorite outfit like this one is set to be. Acrylic sandals with cork heels are a summer go-to for me as they act as a neutral and go with EVERYTHING!
Oversized Sweater
Up next is an oversized sweater from Topshop that’s been restocked, but it’s still flying off the shelves. I took advantage of the new supply to downsize from medium to small. The sweater is oversized, to begin with, but I recommend going down one size for a relaxed but more streamlined appearance. I paired it with white denim and Birkenstock sandals for a laid-back look that’s comfy and chic.

HI Beth!
I also have had to repair things with missing crystals and have found that buying the proper-sized crystals at a store like Michaels, along with jewelry glue called 2000, I have gotten great results. Toothpicks and straight pins work well as tools. Hope this helps!
Thanks for sharing, Janet!
Beth, I love the outfits todat!! I would love to know what brand/color of the polish on your toes.
Thank you,
Diane Johnston
It is Coca Cola Red by OPI
Love the black and white sweater. Still warm out but I know this is the time to get the best selections, and sizes. I am turning 65 in a few months also. You are an inspiration–thank you for sharing of yourself and not letting us older and wiser women become invisible.
The 70’s is my favorite fashion decade as well. At 62 years now I was a tween and teen then and I still have some very fond memories of many of my outfits. Congratulations on your upcoming 65th! You look amazing and are always an inspiration to me!
