Neutral Layers

West Village, NY

Happy Friday!  I styled 3 different LBDs this week (2 from Nordstrom.)  Which one was your favorite – the one with the green vest, white vest, or tweed jacket?  I love the 3/4 length sleeves on this Cynthia Steffe LBD from Nordstrom’s dress section.  It’s one of those easy pieces that you can throw on when you have no idea what to wear.  I plan on re-wearing it this fall with a long necklace and colorful blazer, and then boots and a fun hat. Nordstrom is currently “price matching” so you can get full price items like this for 25% off.  Take advantage and invest in this, this and this.  Have a great weekend!

    Really cute look. This jacket is stylish but mostly functional as it’ll keep the fall chill over your shoulders & back. The weight of the jacket looks light which is great, it could be belted.
