Welcome to Such Savvy Style

 

Dear Carrie,
Wow, life has been busy!  I hope all of you are enjoying Summer.  If you are getting ready for a vacation I have an article for you about packing all the right items for your trip. And, believe it or not, Fall clothing is starting to arrive in the stores this week.  Nordstrom’s Fall  Anniversary Pre-Sale started this week.  If you are a little overwhelmed with the idea of shopping for fall clothing while it feels like an inferno outside don’t, worry I can help!   
 

You can pack in one bag! 

 

Suitcase

1.  Avoid taking any delicate or pricey fabrics.   The last thing you want to worry about is snagging your favorite expensive top.  Instead pack fabrics like microfiber, denim, polyester blends, tropical wools, or sturdy knits.   

 

2.  Really think carefully before packing white.  White can get very dirty, very quickly, so unless you need it for a white party, you are planning to wear it only once, or you will have easy access to laundry, you may want to leave it at home.  Packing tops that have prints or texture will camouflage small spills or a little bit of dirt.     

 

3.  Make sure that all the shoes you pack have been broken in.  The last thing you want to do is go buy new "comfy" shoes for your trip and end up with blisters.  Invest in good quality shoes (yes, they do make both cute and comfy) and wear them before your trip.  I would take about three pairs of shoes.  Your feet will need a break from wearing the same pair daily.  AND…we don’t want you to go into shoe withdrawal!    

 

4.  Pack clothing that fits you but is not too snug.  Most of us like to partake in yummy food while vacationing.  If your clothes start out snug imagine what they will feel like at the end of your vacation.   

 

5.  Think about taking a capsule of clothing.  These are a group of items that can be mixed and matched into multiple outfits.  I would also take a dress, one that can be dressed up or dressed down with accessories and shoes.  A dress is also good for warmer days and if it gets cool you can add a little sweater or jean jacket.  Another must have is a rain resistant light jacket.  Keep it in a neutral color and in a fabric that won’t wrinkle.  Bring one outfit just in case the weather takes a turn from the weather you are expecting.   

 

6.  Finally, avoid packing boring items.  Remember, you will be taking pictures and although you may not roll out your best items, you do want to feel good and look cute.  PLUS, you don’t want to open your suitcase and feel depressed about the blah clothing staring back at you.  Bring inexpensive accessories, prints, textures, or bright colors. Try and have at least one fun element in every outfit! 


Don’t stress, if you need help just call!  I promise not only will you look fabulous but it will fit in one bag and be less then 50 lbs.

Introducing the Hipsi Belt!   

 

If you are a women who likes to wear a belt to hold your pants up then I have found the belt for you!  It’s called the Hipsi.  Women with smaller hips or tooshies often have a hard time keeping their pants in place.  Often times you start the day with proper fitting pants and within a few hours your pants are sagging and you have what I call droopy drawers!  

The Hipsi is an elastic belt that has a complete flat front.  So, there is no bulge under your pants and you can even wear it with pants that have no belt loops!  It is also fully adjustable from the inside making it easy to use no matter where the pants sit. 

This belt also covers the button bulge on jeans and it protects t-shirts from wear and tear from your jeans button.  It comes in three colors, black, brown and champagne and has lots of cute pattern belt buckles if you decide you want them to show. 

For you ladies who are afraid to wear lower waisted pants this may be an option to help keep them up!

You can order them online at:  www.hipsiworld.com
 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

July 20th – August 5th 

If you are a Nordstrom Credit Card holder you are a lucky lady!  The pre-sale has already started and continues through the 19th.  You can shop, purchase and take home all your items before the sale even begins. 

If you have no idea what trends will be the most flattering for YOUR body this fall, let me help you.   I can whip together multiple coordinated outfits very quickly and…stay with your Budget!!
