What I Packed For Dinner At The Ritz
This post is sponsored by Nordstrom
Travel week starts this Sunday, April 24th. Get excited! We’re kicking it off with Travel Essentials, then we’ll share outfit inspiration for brunch, shopping, exploring, and more!
But I thought you might like a sneak peek today. So I’m sharing What to Pack for a Casual Dinner - Resort Style. Dining out on vacation is always a highlight of the trip but sometimes we want to keep our outfits casual but chic.
Do I have an outfit for you! It’s simple, comfy with a dash of bling. What’s better than that! Oh yeah, it’s oh so affordable from one of my favorite brands from Nordstrom called Open Edit. I partner with Nordstrom every month so you might say I’m a regular shopper. And I scour their online site regularly. Some of you might remember I introduced Open Edit last December with a cool pair of brown faux leather pants and a cable knit sweater.
The Summary
Today's featured item is a pair of wide-leg pants from Nordstrom
The pants are modeled, and I pulled together 2 alternates

What I Packed: The Best Casual Travel Outfit
1. Drawstring Wide-Leg Pants
(Nordstrom)
Today, I’m sharing drawstring wide-leg pants that come in four colors (you might want to snag all of them!) and the cutest pair of slingback flats with crystal embellishment. Wardrobe basics come in handy when it’s time to pack for a trip. A white blouse ( similar here, here, and here) typically makes its way into my suitcase as well as a denim jacket (similar here, here, and here).

2. Accessories
For my next trip in May, I already have my eye on this reversible maxi dress, and who doesn’t love an oversized blazer? Or these linen blend trousers look divine and come in vibrant colors that are so on trend for 2022 with a matching blazer to boot. This ruched mock neck top caught my eye and these Lucca Slides would go with dresses, shorts, or skirts.

3. Shopping at Nordstrom
What I love about Nordstrom:
- Free shipping and returns by mail or in-store
- Buy online and pick up in store
- Curbside pickup (no muss, no fuss. Nordstrom brings your merchandise to you while you wait in your car)
- The Nordy club earns 1 point per dollar, status based on spend, and enjoys perks to beauty and style workshops, curbside pickup, and the first to shop select brands
A big thank you to Nordstrom for this sponsored post. And thank you, lovely readers, for supporting the brands that allow me to bring you fresh ideas.

In Case You Missed It
Remember, Thursdays are a 2 post day. Earlier, Kelly styled a shirtdress from J.Crew and gave us sizing tips for petites. Click the title or image below to read the article.
Love those crystal embellished party shoes! That reversible maxi dress is pretty cool. It would look great on you with a jean jacket and the party shoes. Thank you for the good prices too.
Beth, I love the way you always nail a chic understated look! Just love the denim jacket with a classic white shirt, dressy black pants and embellished flats. Perfection!
A great outfit for a casual dinner. Like the pants on you, as you are tall and looks really classy. A denim jacket is always a good third piece. Like the dress also. It would have a really good silhouette on you.
I’m headed to an upscale Hawaiian resort in October and I would love to see you style the reversible maxi dress. Wondering if it’s clingy and not good for my imperfect body!
Hey Beth, love the jean jacket with the white blouse. I wear this all the time, especially when traveling. My girls call this my uniform but what do kids know. I wish I could join you at the Ritz as it was a favorite spot when we lived at Lake Oconee Del Web just down the street
Hope you have a wonderful time!
Love everything about this outfit! As a petite person, I would love to see Kelly in this outfit. It would be really helpful if the two of you would do side-by-side in the same outfits periodically. Tks.
Beth – I love your blog! I ordered these pants. They fit and look great, however the black dye discolored my white tee shirt and my finger nails. i’m going to try washing them to see if this helps. Did you have the same problem?
i’m so sorry to hear that! no i did not have that problem. but wash them in cold water and see what happens. if the dye still rubs off Nordstrom will honor the return. that’s what I love about this brand. so customer centric.
