One Dress, Two Ways






You guys know that a basic staple dress is always a good idea.
I’m talking: one dress, two ways. A staple that can be worn around town with sneaks & a crossbody bag, but also looks so cute styled as a going-out go-to.
Today I am super excited to partner with Nordstrom to talk contemporary clothing. Considering I practically live on the trend tab right here along with the the savvy/BP/Topshop department at Nordstrom Barton Creek — it’s only fitting to continue to talk Nordstrom trend on the blog. I chose this dress (under $50) because of its: 1. softness (it’s so cozily delicious), and 2. versatility (love that it looks just as cute paired with wedges as it does with sneaks).
Enter my favorite on-trend accessory staples from Nordstrom (that easily transition one dress two ways):
- These sunnies (will last for years to come …)
- These shoes (the comfiest platforms ever)
- This bag (comes in lots of colors, but I’m loving this color for the perfect transitional staple bag
- These sneaks (under $50, and slip-on — hello, favorites.)
Find the rest of the details below. XOXO
Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.

What a cute, casual dress!! I love the two styling choices… looks cute with the Converse or the sandals for sure!!
Also, those sandals do look quite comfy!!
