I know some of you reading this are currently experiencing snowy days and negative temps, but over here in Florida we are experiencing “winter-ish” weather of our own, haha. When the temps drop down to the 40’s us Floridians definitely begin to bundle up. You know we are not prepared for this type of cold!
We have styled two casual, cozy looks for you regardless of your current city’s temps. If you’re in a warmer climate like us, you can definitely warm up my look with a jacket or coat.
Ya know we like to eat, therefore our Thanksgiving style is always on the more forgiving side. But that doesn’t mean we are sacrificing style for comfort!
We styled two pieces with the prettiest ruffle details that are perfect for the Holiday.
Now you know here on Fashion without the Fortune we are all about affordable fashion. But sometimes you come across a piece that is so timeless and wearable that you know it’s worth the extra money. This jacket is definitely that piece.
This jacket was part of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale this year and even with the sale price we weren’t sure if we should spend the money. Tee took the plunge and bought the gorgeous gray shade. It is so perfect for the cooler Fall nights and can be styled in so many ways!
Tee loved the jacket so much she bought me the gorgeous spice shade {also because she’s the best sister ever!!!}. I am obsessed with this suede jacket. I love styling the gorgeous cognac shade with all black!
Denim jackets are a wardrobe staple for us. They can be dressed up or down and come in so many different colors and styles.
The patch denim jacket has been popping up everywhere, from reaaally expensive versions (YSL has one for $1,250) to basic trendy versions you can find at Forever 21. Now back in High School I loved patches. When a pair of my favorite jeans started to have tears and rips, I threw on some vintage patches to solve the issues. My favorite part about adding patches or pins to a piece of denim is that it can totally be personal to you.
I like that brands are coming out with affordable versions of the patch denim jacket, but I feel like the fun of having a jacket like this is to make it personalized.
I scored this denim jacket from Forever 21 during one of their flash sales. It is aaaamazing quality, was $8, and is a men’s xs so it fits a little bigger which I love. There were already patches on it (two-thirds of which I hated) and a cute embroidered detail at the back. I figured I could easily remove the disliked patches and personalize it with my own finds! I left the rose patch and cut the other two off the jacket.
Once Summer starts to come to an end Fall inspiration is everywhere! Regardless of the weather staying humid and hot, our minds start to wander to cute scarves and long sleeve tops. We always love buying clothes before the season starts, you can get the best deals and just save the pieces for a bit before wearing them!
As you know we love affordability so partnering with Groopdealz was the perfect match. Groopdealz is a daily boutique deal website, featuring amazing deals in Fashion, Home Decor, Jewelry and Kids. Everyday they feature 150-400+ new deals that are up to 92% off!
We stocked up on some super cute pieces for Fall and some pieces that we could start wearing now!
We love a good classic print and for us stripes are a staple. A timeless style for all ages. We often hear people say ‘I can’t wear stripes-they’re unflattering!’ to which we say YESSSS YOU CAN and no they’re not!
Often times people misjudge that the stripes themselves are unflattering, when really it is the cut of the top, dress, or pants. Stripes have come a long way from the basic striped T. There are so many gorgeous pieces out there featuring the classic print and we’re styling two of them for day and night.

Tee loved the style of this cute v neck T! Instead of basic black and white stripes, it has the cutest reverse striped detail on the sleeves and back. It is also super flattering on and only $5!! I mean $5?!

Bralettes are a staple piece in our wardrobes. They can be styled so many different ways and are super comfortable! Their pretty, delicate details can amp up a normal look while still being functional.
Why do we love bralettes so much?
-they can be worn with low cut tops or dresses
-add a delicate, girly vibe to a look
-they can be shown off in a backless top or dress
-they can be worn under a sheer top
-look great with off the shoulder tops and sweaters
-take the place of an actual bra
Now a lot of ladies have asked us how can a bralette take the place of an actual bra?
If you’re like us, on the smaller chested side of life, a bralette can offer just the right amount of coverage and support. If you are in need of more support we have found so many amazing options at Kohl’s for you!
Their bralette selection is serious!
Keep reading to see how we styled these three neutral bralettes for Summer.
So as you know everyone and their mother has been talking about the Nordstrom Anniversary sale the past couple of weeks.
Toted as the “Superbowl of Shopping” we were always a bit skeptical. Now because Tee and I looove a good deal we are pretty critical on what constitues an amazing sale. We are all about quality over quantity which is why we love shopping Marshalls and TJ Maxx. You aren’t getting cheap or irrelevent brands or styles-you’re scoring nice quality pieces at an amazing price!
Last year was the first year I really shopped the sale and I was pleasantly surprised! There were some really affordable pieces and the items did go back to a higher price point after the sale was over.
One of my favorite pairs of Topshop Jeans were scored during the sale last year and were such an amazing deal!
A couple of tips I learned from last years sale that may be helpful to you this year:
Tip #1
Keep checking back. If you love something and it sells out quickly there will most likely be more that come in stock or people will return items! I bookmark the page for the item I love and check back a couple times a day.
Tip #2
You can always return! One thing I love about ordering or shopping in Nordstrom is that the return process is so simple. So if you have doubts order the piece and make sure you return it if you don’t love it when it arrives.
Tip #3
Think ahead. Tee and I always shop for Fall and Winter pieces during the Summer regardless of the store. It is seriously the best time to scoop these types of items {cardigans, coats, boots, scarves} up because in a couple of months you’ll need them and they will be double or triple the price.
So don’t fret that you won’t wear it for a little while. Put it in your closet and you’ll be so happy to have the pieces in a couple of months.
Tip #4
Do not buy something just because it is on sale!!!
Now this can be very hard for us to even do but it is important. Just because something is on sale and there is the element of scarcity don’t buy it. Buy pieces you know you’ll wear and love. During sales like this it’s hard not to go crazy with all the hype.
We each rifled through the sale and came up with some of our favorite picks! We will keep them updated based on the changing inventory for you.
So many great pieces for Spring at an amazing price. Two of my ALL TIME favorite jeans are part of the sale: these BLANK NYC jeans and these classic distressed Levi’s {Bonus-both are under $90!}. I’m definitely picking up the Levi’s in gray too!
Polka dots and black & white check are prints that are timeless. No matter what styles are dominating the season, you can always throw on one of these prints and feel stylish and put together!
We’re showing you two of our current favorite classic printed pieces from Zaful and how we styled them. Zaful is great quality and sooo affordable-both of these pieces are under $20!!
Tee loved the jacket so much she bought me the gorgeous spice shade {also because she’s the best sister ever!!!}. I am obsessed with this suede jacket. I love styling the gorgeous cognac shade with all black!
