NSALE Try on Session

August 11, 2020 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

I hit up my local store yesterday to try on some of the items in the sale because things always look different in person and when they are on!  You can only tell so much from an online photo.  Here are the outfits from my NSale try on session. I found some things I LOVE.  There were also many things missing from my store that I wanted to try so I have ordered those and will share when they arrive.

You can see my complete Nordstrom Anniversary Sale guide by category HERE. 

Let me start by something about this sale.  Yes, there are tons of Fall items on sale.  Yes, there are some good deals to be had, but my philosophy is always the look for less.  I like finding great items at great prices and splurging on a few statement pieces here and there.  I do not believe in buying the most expensive, only wearing designer, going into debt for clothes, etc.  At the end of the day. . .they are just things!  I like to buy staple pieces during the sale and maybe a more expensive item I have had my eye on like Barefoot Dreams, etc, but. . .even during this sale I am looking for the best of the affordable things!  As you will see from my lists below almost everything I am showing you is very affordable!  Like the denim jeans I share. . . all but 1 are under $50!  I like to find cute things for great prices.  During this sale Nordstrom has great items priced comparable to Target, Old Navy, AE, etc.  Hopefully you will find  some things you love that are very budget friendly (most things under $50)!

♥ FOR SIZING REFERENCE I AM 5’9″ AND TYPICALLY WEAR A M/L IN TOPS & DRESSES, SIZE 8/29 IN JEANS

♥ WHAT I AM WEARING/USED IN MOST PICTURES:

  • SELF TANNER: this is my favorite self tanner.  It is the only thing that gives me a glow.  I don’t tan on my own and am super pale.  They have a huge jumbo size in the sale for a great value.
  • WATCH: This Michelle watch was a splurge!  I bought it 14 years ago and wear it every single day.  It is my absolute favorite.  The newest version of the Michelle watch is in the sale and a huge savings (save $860)!!
  • EARRINGS:I wear these pearl earrings all the time.  They are simple, easy and inexpensive ($35).
  • CURLING IRON: I use this T3 1.25 curling iron every time I curl my hair.  I debated spending this much on a curling iron, but I am so glad I did.  It makes a huge difference with my hair.  The wand is longer and makes my hair hold curl way longer than any other curling iron.  That is totally worth it to me.  It is part of the sale and an amazing price for this curling iron!

Ok, on to the try on session!

When designing our home the kitchen was such an important space. We spend a lot of time in there. I wanted it to be beautiful and functional. Here are some of my favorite features in our kitchen.

I’ve been on the hunt for faux flowers for my outdoor pots and I finally found a winner!!

🌸 comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links

I kept spending lots of money each season on real flowers and it was so much work keeping them alive!

I was looking for a better option and finally found one!

These faux flowers are
•BEAUTIFUL ....always in bloom
•ZERO MAINTENANCE ...no watering, fertilizing, etc
•BUDGET FRIENDLY ...these are priced great and you don’t have to replace them each season
•AND LOOK REAL. Some faux flowers are bad!! These really look good and unless you dig in there you’d never know they are faux

Each pack comes in a bundle of 2 bunches. Each bunch has 7 stems. You can plant 2 ways and I tried both. You can plant the bundle attached together and bend the stems (they are wired) to spread everything out....or....you can cut the bundles apart and plant the stems individually. I ended up doing that and thought they looked more realistic that way.  I ended up using 5 packages (10 bunches) for 2 large pots and 1 smaller pot.

I share both ways on IG stories so you can see the difference.

I also removed some soil and added floral foam blocks beneath, recovered with dirt and stuck the flowers in them.  I don’t think this step was necessary, but I wanted to make sure they were in there firm.

I’m so excited I now get to enjoy beautiful flowers with zero work 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Last year, Geoff and I added wires up this wall in a diamond trellis pattern. We planted creeping fig, but unfortunately, it all died this winter. I just planted Star Jasmine in its place so really hoping it survives. Texas weather is hard!. Thanks to a little AI magic I was able to create what my ultimate vision is. Fingers crossed it will look like this in a couple of years.

I just learned that May 3 is World Naked Gardening Day 🤣 I seriously can’t believe there is a day dedicated to this, but maybe lots of people need fences 🤷🏼‍♀️😉🌱🌿

Yall I recently discovered you could make fun art on ChatGPT using your own images for free! @ciarakenaston inspired me with her Beatrix Potter images and I did a deep dive and found you can do so many cool things!

🩵 Download ChatGPT if you haven’t already and have fun!

Upload an image. Can be of your home, your family, etc and then type in prompts to have it alter your image. You can play around with it and try all kinds of things but here were my prompts for the video

1. Beatrix Potter inspired illustration
2. Jan Brett inspired illustration
3. Vintage oil painting
4. E.H. Shepard inspired illustration 
5. Retro British cottage core style

If you do some be sure to share and tag me. I’d love to see them. Endless possibilities!!
