Tigress' Picks Of The Week

Happy Thursday everyone 😃 This is my last night of work for the week and I couldn't be happier. This week has tried my patience and worked my nerves but finally the end is here. Have you thought about what you want to do for the weekend? I'm going to a friend's birthday party on Friday then Saturday I might get to go to the botanical garden if it doesn't rain and last my Sweetie's friends are having a get together on Sunday. Busy busy weekend and I'm so looking forward to it 😎 For my shopaholics reading this I'm sure you're ready to get out there and do some shopping so today I have picked out some great items at a store you may pass by at the mall all the time...well now it's time to venture inside. What store am I talking about?

SEARS
I used to shop at Sears all the time. It's been a few years since I've shopped there for clothes though so I decided to give it a  shot and see if there was anything worthwhile that I needed to have in my life. I must say I remember the clothing section being a lot larger than it is now and the selection was a bit more varied but for the most part it was a decent experience. They still feature the same designers as they did years ago...Joe Boxer, Bongo...but the clothes are well made and they are always having a sale so I was happy 😄 While there I picked out nine items that I think are amazing and must haves for your summer wardrobe...

What's Trending Right Now At Sears
Like I said before there wasn't a huge selection to choose from but I was able to find some pretty cool stuff to show you. All the shirts I tried on were super cute but only the grey and white striped tank fit me which was kind of a bummer since that pink tank is super trending right now. I loved the jeans but I needed one size bigger than what I took into the dressing room which tells me that brand is made small. The dresses were all sooo cute!!! I had the hardest time deciding between all four of them especially since the little turtle print dress was simply adorable but in the end I went home with the blue and white floral dress because it looks super retro 😎 and I love the retro style. I've linked all the items below for you so whichever one is your favorite you can snag it with ease 😆 Please note that certain items are no longer available online so I linked a similar item for you instead...

Grey and white striped tank
Magic touch T-shirt
Distressed skinny jeans
Pink I like you tank
Navy blue tank
Blue and white floral dress
Navy blue floral cami dress
Red turtle print tank dress
Black floral tank dress

Aren't these items super cute? Which one is your favorite? How would you style these? I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy the rest of your Thursday and happy shopping🛍

Mixed Print Romper

Happy hump day everyone 😃  It's Wednesday and that means this week is halfway over. Do you already have plans for the weekend? I know I do and it's a three day weekend for me so it's going to be awesome!! I'm sure many of you will be attending some independence day celebrations this weekend so I want to share with you this perfect little romper I found to keep you cool and stylish when you're outside in the heat 😎

I found this romper a couple of months ago when I was shopping at Target and I thought it was super cute. I only own one other romper and with rompers being the hottest thing for summer I knew I had to have at least one more so I decided to give this one a shot. I love the mixed prints on this cutie and the perfect blend of neutral colors made this a must have for me. Not to mention it fit perfectly and was less than $25 🙄 The material is very lightweight and stretchy so it will be perfect for those outdoor activities this weekend and I was excited that this romper didn't ride up in places it shouldn't or show my behind like some of the other ones I've tried on in the past. I feel this was a great buy for me and I just know you'll feel the same when you snag one for yourself 😆 So how did I style this cutie?

I was planning on going out shopping with my sweetie the day I wore this romper so I wanted to be comfortable yet cute. I decided to go with my awesome pair of jeweled sandals that I got from Ross a few years ago and it ended up being a perfect match 😍 You might recognize these sandals from other outfit posts since I wear them all the time but honestly that's a great indicator that you've made a good purchase. If I can take one pair of shoes and pair them with five or more outfits I call that a WIN 😉 This is the perfect outfit for a day of shopping or for those awesome outdoor activities with your family or friends. To make the outfit more dressy you can wear wedges instead of sandals or you can make the style more casual by wearing flip flops. To recreate this look you can click on the links below although this particular romper is no longer available online:

Must Have Shoes Of The Week

Hello everyone and happy Monday 😃 How was your weekend? I hope you had some fun and enjoyed some down time because it's the first day of the work week and time to get back to the daily grind. Knowing that I have a three day weekend coming up with lots of fun activities is going to help me get through this week a little easier and hopefully you have something similar to look forward to so your week can soar by as well. One thing that always puts me in a better mood is getting a new pair of shoes so to help with your Monday blues I've found the cutest style of shoes that are perfect for summer and should be on everyone's must have list for this season.

The Fringe Sandal
I've been seeing these adorable fringe sandals EVERYWHERE this summer! I remember seeing this style in my mom's old pics from the 1970s but just like all good trends this one is finally making a comeback. I've never been a huge fan of fringe...in fact I've always kind of detested it but these fringe sandals are really growing on me. Not only are they super cute but they go with a variety of styles so your outfits will always be on point 😉 You can wear these cuties with anything from shorts and jeans to dresses and skirts so you will definitely get your money's worth with a pair of these. So how would I style these adorable sandals?

These sandals are extremely versatile so the sky's the limit when deciding how to style them but I chose two different types of clothing that I think would go perfect with these beauties. 😍 My first choice is a casual outfit which includes a pair of cuffed shorts and a lioness print T-shirt. This would be the perfect outfit for a day of running errands or just enjoying a leisurely stroll through the park. My second choice is a little more dressy and is in fact a floral dress. This outfit would be perfect for a dinner date with your sweetie or a lunch date with your girlfriends. To recreate these looks you can click on the Polyvore link below and snag all these amazing items before they are all gone.

Light Pink Floral Dress

Hello again and happy Sunday😃 How is your weekend going so far? I had an amazing weekend but now it's coming to an end...gotta head back to work in a few hours. It's OK though because next weekend I have three days off and a lot of fun stuff planned so I'm ready to get this week started so I can get to the awesome weekend ahead😉 Have you been shopping lately? Are you looking for a great summer dress to wear on those dates with your sweetie? If so I have the perfect dress for you!...

I spotted this dress while on my shopping trip to H&M last weekend and I thought it was absolutely gorgeous the instant I saw it. 😍 There were only two sizes left and I really hoped at least one of them would fit me. As luck would have it one of them did!!! It was a little tight in the chest but I figured with a slightly less padded bra than the one I was wearing it would work...I was right 🙄 This dress is lightweight which is great for summer and the hanky hem adds a little extra spice to an already amazing outfit. The price tag on the dress was $40 which wasn't bad for a dress that pretty so I paid for this beauty then immediately started thinking of how I would style it...

I decided to wear this dress on Father's Day to church with my dad so I wanted to go for the dressy look👠 I dug through the mountains of boxes in my closet until i found these cute taupe Mary Jane heels that I got at Ross several years ago. I love that moment when I realize I already have an awesome pair of shoes to go with the great new outfit I just purchased❤ This was certainly a win for me! For a more casual style you can wear a cute pair of sandals or wedges instead of the heels. Unfortunately this dress is no longer available online but I've linked some similar dresses below. To get this exact dress visit your local H&M store and dig around...you might get lucky and find one like I did 😄

Dress: similar / similar / plus similar
Heels: similar

Isn't this a beautiful dress? Did you like the way I styled it? Heels, sandals, or wedges? How would you style this dress differently? I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. You can also email me at fashionabletigress@gmail.com I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend and happy shopping 🛍

Must Have Summer Accessories For 2016

There's no better way to kick of this official first weekend of summer than by talking about accessories. Who doesn't love to spice up their outfits with amazing accessories? These are the final little touches that make our style pop and let our personality shine through. Over the years accessories have become almost as important as the outfit itself so I would be remiss not to include at least one post about these awesome little details. So what items are trending for this summer season? I've put together a list of the ultimate summer essentials that everyone needs in their life...



#1: Shades
Shades are extremely important for the summer season. Most of us will be spending a lot more time outdoors and you don't want to be squinting all day from the sun in your eyes...that's not a good look on anyone. So, I've rounded up six of the best styles of shades for this summer season and I know at least one pair will be perfect for you. 1) These black oval shades are perfect for that retro look. 2) These mirrored aviators are everything right now!! 3) These mirrored shades are perfect for those of us who don't look good in aviators haha. 4) These shades were just too cute not to include and are for the daring fashionista. 5) Heart shaped shades are for the super romantic. 6) These orange shades scream hippie chic and are perfect for your retro look.

#2: Flip Flops
Some might say that flip flops are shoes and therefore not technically considered an accessory but I can assure you as much as I wear mine during the summer they have become a must have accessory for almost everything I wear.

#4: Purses/Bags
Wearing the right purse is essential when getting your accessories ready for any outfit. I normally stick with a neutral color so it goes with practically everything but once upon a time I used to change purses to match every single outfit and I might still do that if I find a purse that I absolutely must have. I picked out six different purses/bags that are perfect for this summer season and I'm sure at least one will catch your eye ;) 1) This straw bag with the colorful tassels is the ultimate trending item right now.

You can find all these amazing items by clicking the Polyvore link below:

Watches are declining in popularity thanks to the clocks on our cell phones but I still love to wear my watch for the look of it. A great watch can make any outfit look more polished and well put together not to mention there are so many beautiful styles to choose from.

Tigress' Picks Of The Week

Happy Thursday 😃 It's my last night of work for the week so I'm super excited to get this day started and get to my weekend! What are your plans for the weekend? Are you doing any shopping? 🛍 If so I have the perfect store for you! This was my first time ever shopping at this store and I was not disappointed. So what store am I talking about?

H&M
I've heard of H&M from friends and co-workers and of course I've seen the ads in fashion magazines but I've never been to the actual store before. The main reason for this is because the closest one to me is about a 2 hour round trip drive and most of the time I'd rather hit up something closer. But, after seeing a co-workers awesome jeans from there and hearing about the great deals they have I decided to make the long journey to see what the hype is all about. I did not expect this store to be as huge as it was. Wow!! 🤑 Just when I thought I was at the end there was another corner and the store kept on going. Not that I'm complaining though. It was a very nice surprise. There are many different styles to choose from here including misses and juniors and even men's and kids. The only issue I have is sizing. Most of the items I took into the dressing room were way too small so I asked the dressing room associate what was up with that and apparently H&M is sized to European standards. I really wish they would advertise this a little better so people wouldn't be taken by surprise 😯 So, my advice to you is get at least one to two sizes bigger than what you normally wear. So what amazing items did I pick out for you this week?

What's Trending Right Now At H&M
There were so many things I wanted to take into the dressing room with me but I had to restrain myself so I ended up with 11 items to try on and share with you 🙄 I've linked the items below that are available online so you can easily find any of these beauties that catch your eye. For the items that are no longer available I've linked a similar item:
Black print tank similar
Bird print halter tank
Burgundy lace tank similar
Cream cami tank
Cuffed blue jean shorts
White feather print dress similar
Ivory/black/tan pleated tank dress similar
Blue floral cami dress
Mint green floral romper
Blue mixed pattern tank dress
Light pink floral tank dress similar
I was a little sad that many of these items didn't fit because of the sizing issue but I hate going back and forth to a dressing room so I only chose from the few that did fit. My absolute favorite picks were the burgundy lace tank, the blue mixed pattern tank dress, and the light pink floral tank dress. It was a really hard decision between the three but ultimately I chose the light pink dress even though it was the most expensive. Sometimes you just have to splurge right?! 💰 This beauty will be featured on a future blog post so be sure to check it out to see how I styled it 😍

Have you shopped at H&M before? Which of my picks was your favorite? How would you style it? I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. As always I hope you enjoy the rest of your week and happy shopping💲💳

Orange Anchor Tank

Happy hump day everyone 🐪 It's Wednesday and that means the week is halfway over for most of you. Are you ready for the weekend? I know I sure am. I've got a shopping trip planned with my bffs daughter then I get to hang out with my sweetie so I'm really looking forward to Friday 🙄 So who's looking for a cute new tank to wear this summer? If so you're in luck because I've found an awesome deal on the cutest little anchor tank....

This tank was the very first item I spotted while on a recent shopping trip to Rue 21 and I knew I had to have it. I'm totally obsessed with anchors right now so I actually got excited when I spotted this cutie. Anchors and all nautical designs are perfect for summer because they make you think of boats and when do most people go on boating trips?...SUMMER. This adorable tank would be the perfect addition to anyone's wardrobe with its awesome orange and blue coloring and the lattice style back detail. Also this item just went on sale for $4 so how could you not take advantage of this cutie?! 😉  👉Plus size version is  not on sale but still less than $15👈 So how did I choose to style this tank?

I wanted a super casual look when wearing this tank so I wore a cute pair of cuffed shorts and a pair of sandals. The shorts I got last summer from Walmart and they are so comfortable. I don't really like wearing super short shorts anymore because I'm over 30 and I feel there is a cut off age on those but these shorts are the perfect length...not too short but not too long 😍 These beautiful sandals I got at Payless awhile back and they haven't once disappointed. The gold and tan coloring is the perfect neutral combination to match almost anything I'm wearing and they are super comfortable and sassy. You could wear jeans or a skirt with this tank instead of shorts and you could also wear a cute pair of wedges or converse sneakers to dress it up or down depending on the style you're going for. To recreate my look you can click on the links below:

Tank: same / plus
Shorts: similar / plus similar
Sandals: similar

Isn't this tank super cute? Did you like how I styled it? How would you style it differently? Sandals, wedges, or sneakers which one would you choose? I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy the rest of your hump day and happy shopping💲💳

Must Have Shoes Of The Week

Happy Monday everyone 😃 It's the first official day of the work week and the first official day of summer. Here in Southeast Texas it's been feeling like summer for over a month now but I can finally say it's officially here and to be honest I'm only partially happy about that. On the one hand I get to go shopping for all the hottest new summer fashions and go swimming occasionally which makes me very happy but on the other hand it's going to be in the mid to upper 90s until late September so it's going to be HOT and I can't stand the heat 😰 But let's focus on the positive and today it's officially flip flop weather!!

Who doesn't own at least five pairs of flip flops each year only to have a couple of them break from wearing them so much? Haha that's totally me. I wear flip flops everywhere in the summer... around the house, to the lake, to the store, walking around outside...and I totally love them. This year will be no exception as I venture out to find my new flip flops for the 2016 summer season. I actually still have one pair from two years ago that I wear all the time and they have yet to break which is totally surprising but hey I'll take it 🙄 Normally I stick with neutral colors since they go with everything but this year I want to break away from that comfort zone and get some bright colored flip flops that stand out and grab attention. While surfing through the Polyvore website I came across two pair in particular that I had to include in my example because they are super colorful and not too expensive.

For this summer season I've picked two cute pairs of flip flops for you...a pink pair and a green pair. I love pink!!! 💟 It's probably my favorite color so of course I had to include something pink in my example. Green is another color that I love. 💚 While it's not my favorite, it is a great color for summer so I wanted to include a pair in this color as well. For my example I chose a pair of blue jean shorts which can go with either outfit. This is why I love wearing blue jeans shorts for the summer...you buy one or two pair and you're set for the whole season. For the pink pair of flip flops I chose a floral tank top with pink in the design that matches the shoes perfectly. For the green flip flops I chose a black watermelon 🍉 tank because anything with fruit print is trending right now and because the green in the melon matches the green shoes. Both of these outfits are perfect for your summer outings with your friends. If you want to recreate these looks or purchase one of the items from the picture you can click on the Polyvore link below.

Are you planning on getting a new pair of flip flops this year? Did you like how I styled the two pairs that I picked out? Pink or green? Which pair is your favorite? I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy the rest of your Monday and happy shopping💲💳

Mixed Print Cami Dress

Happy Sunday 😃 It's Father's Day today so I went to see my dad and spent some time with him. Hopefully you were able to spend some time with your father this weekend as well. Are you ready to head back to work tomorrow? Haha that was a trick question since I'm sure most of you would like your weekend to last at least one more day 😉 I'm off today and enjoying every minute of my mini vacation but I'll be heading back to work tomorrow afternoon and dreaming of the beginning of my next weekend. Today I'd like to share with you an amazing dress I found while on my last shopping trip and it's the outfit I wore when I took my dad out for his father's day dinner on Thursday....

I saw this dress while shopping at Nordstrom Rack for the first time last weekend. I immediately thought it was a super cute dress and perfect for the summer so I decided to try it on. I wasn't sure what size to try on considering I had never been to this store before and each brand fits slightly different so I grabbed an XS and hoped for the best 😏 It was a little tight in the hips but fit perfectly everywhere else and the price tag was less than $30 so I ended up taking it home. I love the lace up front and the cami straps make it a great dress to wear in the heat of the summer to stay cool. The colors are absolutely beautiful and the lace detail at the bottom adds to the beauty and uniqueness of this dress. So how did I style this one?

I wanted the semi dressy summer look so I decided to wear this dress with a cute pair of ivory colored crochet wedges. I got these wedges from Payless about a year ago and I haven't once regretted this buy. These wedges are super comfortable, adorable, and go with so many different outfits that it was totally worth the price I paid for them which was about $25 on sale. You could also style this dress with a cute pair of sandals if you're not into wedges. This is the perfect outfit for a lunch date with your friends or sweetie 😍 If you'd like to recreate this look you can click on the links below...

Dress: same / plus similar
Wedges: similar

Isn't this cami dress super cute? Did you like how I styled it? Sandals or wedges? How would you style it differently? I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend and happy shopping💲💳

What Your Dad Really Wants For Father's Day

Who knows what this Sunday is?? For those of you who have been living under a rock it's Father's Day weekend and we all know what that means...a scramble to find the perfect gift for your dad. What does the word father mean to you? Is it simply the man who gave you life or does it mean so much more? When I think of my father there are so many great memories that come to mind. Our little fishing trips when I was a kid and the countless times we watched action movies while eating grapefruits on the couch...yes grapefruits lol. All the times my dad was there to wipe away the tears when an evil boy broke my heart. The encouraging words and yes even the discipline. All of these memories I'll cherish my whole entire life. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have an amazing father in their lives so I'm extremely thankful to God for putting an awesome man in my life who I call Pooh Bear that I know always has my best interest at heart and loves me unconditionally. The word father means so much more than being just a sperm donor. Anyone can give life to a child, it takes a real man to stick around for the long haul and be a role model for their sons and to set the standard for their daughters that only an amazing man in the future will ever live up to. So for those of you who were blessed with an amazing father be sure to take some time this weekend and let them know just how much they mean to you. Really put some thought into the gift you buy them or the words you are going to say. If you're totally confused on what to do for your dad this weekend think about the type of man he is. To help you out I have come up with 5 father's day gift ideas for 5 different types of fathers. You're welcome ;)




#1: Sports Dad
Does your dad love sports? Is he always watching “the game” on tv and shouting at it like a madman? Does he love wearing sports memorabilia of his favorite team? If the answer is yes to these questions then you have the ultimate sports dad. Sure you could get him another hat or jersey to go with the hundred others he already has or you could do something extra special for him this year and take him to an actual live game. Baseball is in season right now all across the US so why not get tickets for the two of you and go spend a day together eating hot dogs and watching the one guy throwing the ball to the other guy with the stick thing. LOL. So what if you hate sports?! It's not about what you want, it's about what will put a huge smile on your dads face. When I take my dad to see games I always play just a bit dumb and have him explain to me what's going on. I know it's a pitcher and a batter but Pooh Bear doesn't need to know that. Explaining the game makes him happy and therefore makes me happy. For my readers in the Houston area, Astros tickets are still on sale for this whole weekend :)



#2: Comic Nerd Dad
Does your dad watch cartoons? Is your dad obsessed with super hero movies? Can your dad name all the Marvel and DC characters? If so you have a comic nerd dad. While this doesn't apply to my father it does apply to my boyfriend so if we ever have kids I know exactly what to do for him HAHA. You can buy your dad another super hero t-shirt or maybe even take him to see the new X-Men movie but if you really want to surprise him this year take him to a comic book convention. This weekend Houston is having it's annual Comicpalooza comic convention and if your dad loves comics and super heroes then getting him tickets to this would make his year. If you miss this one there's always one in some part of the world so maybe you can catch the next one around, but by all means if you're able to make it out this weekend do it. I'm taking my boyfriend on Saturday and I have a feeling it's going to be a blast.



#3: Outdoor Dad
Would your dad rather spend all his time outside? Does he enjoy all the manly activities like hunting and fishing? Does he love camping out and bonfires? If so then you have an outdoor dad. Sure you can buy him another fishing pole or even a gun which I'm sure he would absolutely love, but why not make it a one on one weekend and actually take your dad on a camping or hiking trip? Imagine it...the two of you hiking through the mountains discovering the beautiful scenery then relaxing next to a bonfire at night roasting marshmallows and sleeping under the stars. Does this sound like a nightmare to you? Even if it's not your idea of the perfect weekend the main thing is your dad will love it and that's so much more important than our own feelings. Besides it's just one weekend so you can make that sacrifice for your dad. If you simply don't have the time to spare for a weekend trip a nice day hike through the woods or mountains would make a great father's day gift as well.



#4: Fashion Dad
Does your dad love shopping for new clothes? Is he always worried about his appearance and asking you a million times if his tie is straight? Does he know name brands? If so you have a fashion dad. My dad is somewhat into fashion except he doesn't buy himself expensive clothes but dear lord does he ever wear the heck out of his cologne. LOL You could always give him a gift card and let him buy what he wants or pick some random item out at the store and hope he likes it...make sure to have a gift receipt...or you could make it an outing and take him shopping. You could take him to his favorite store and tell him to pick out whatever he wants and you got it or if you're on a budget take him to a store like Ross or Marshalls and that way you know you can afford whatever he picks out. The main thing is you're spending the day together and quality time is so much more important than any gift no matter how expensive. And who knows you may find something for yourself while you're there. HAHA



#5: Foodie Dad
Does your dad love to cook? Is he always wanting to try all the newest restaurants in town? Does he eat slowly and savor every single flavor that he tastes? If so then you have a foodie dad. You can always give him a gift card or invite him over for dinner at your place but why not take it a step further and take him to that new restaurant he's been dying to try or better yet schedule a cooking class for the two of you...yes apparently that's a thing now. Either way you are out together and spending some much needed quality time with each other. After the meal throw in a surprise trip to the movies and heck there are even some movie theaters now that serve you dinner as you watch your show. How cool is that?! That would be a great experience for the two of you and it kills two birds with one stone so it's a WIN. This is what I did for my dad this year. I took him out to eat at his favorite restaurant and we had a long nice talk about old times. It was so nice to spend time with Pooh Bear and I plan to do so again very soon.



Have you decided what you're going to do for your dad this year? Were my ideas helpful? One thing to remember...even though this one particular day is set aside to honor and thank our fathers for being so awesome at being dads let's not forget that there are 364 other days in the year and you should always make time to hang out with your dad. So if you love some of these ideas but just can't make it happen this weekend make a phone call and tell your dad you love him and that you're planning to do something with him soon then actually go through with it. You only have one father in this lifetime and it doesn't matter if this is the person who gave you life or not. Always honor the man who raised you and make time for him throughout the year because you never know when one day you will wake up and he will no longer be there. For my friends who have lost their father just take a few moments this weekend and remember him. Speak to him with your heart. Tell other people stories of the two of you. This way your father will always live on through you. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and HAPPY FATHER'S DAY :)

Tigress' Picks Of The Week

Happy Thursday everyone 😃 Only one more day until the weekend for most of you. Are you excited? I'm officially off until Monday afternoon and I'm super excited because I have so much fun stuff planned for the weekend. The fun kicks off today with a pedicure and dinner with my father to celebrate Father's day 😍 then continues through the weekend with a new hairdo, comicpalooza in Houston, and church with dad on Sunday. Fun stuff!  Before I head off to start my fun I wanted to share with you an amazing store I discovered this past weekend. It's not a new store but it was the first time I had ever been and I'm officially hooked. What store am I talking about?

NORDSTROM RACK
I've heard of Nordstrom and have been there a couple of times throughout my life but I'd never heard of Nordstrom Rack until last weekend. I decided to travel to a mall a little further from home to check out different stores and try new things when I saw this store at the Willowbrook mall in Houston. Apparently it's Nordstrom's sale items or last call stuff because the prices are really cheap compared to Nordstrom. I was overly excited to say the least. I searched through all the clothes and found 9 items that I simply had to try on and these are the ones featured below but my sweetie was there shopping with me so I didn't get a chance to browse through the shoes...next time for sure 😉 So what items did I pick out for you this week? *Some of these items I couldn't find online so I linked a similar item instead*

What's Trending Right Now At Nordstrom Rack
Ivory ruffle tank blouse similar
Purple babydoll tank similar
Purple print hanky hem tunic tank same
Red and black lace up tank similar
Green and white plaid shorts same
Green and blue floral dress similar
Multi print lace up cami dress same
Red print dress similar
Floral flutter sleeve cami dress same

I was a little confused on sizing 😞 because for one I had never been to this particular store before and for two there are many different designer clothes here and each one cuts clothing a little differently. So I ended up taking a few items into the dressing room with me that were either too tight or way too big. Out of all 9 items I loved the purple babydoll tank, purple print hanky hem tunic tank, red and black lace up tank, and the multi print lace up cami dress. All of these fit me really well and I wanted to take them all home and give them a place in my wardrobe but I had to choose only one and the winner ended up being the multi print lace up cami dress 👗 which will be featured on a separate post in the future. All of the items listed above would be wonderful additions to your summer wardrobe so you should totally check out this store as soon as possible if you haven't already.

Have you ever been to Nordstrom Rack? Do you like my picks of the week? Which item is your favorite? I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Enjoy the rest of your week and happy shopping💲💳

Goodbye for now...Fashionable Tigress ❤
