Style a striped bell sleeve tee now and later

Today’s post showcases my next installment of finds from the NSale: a perfect striped bell sleeve tee. As if you haven’t heard just about enough about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, right? Lol! Since the sale is on until August 5th, I want to share the pieces I think you might like and are a good bargain. Before it’s too late!!

The Striped bell sleeve tee

This tee is truly worth the price and the sale makes it even better. It’s made with a very nice mid-weight fabric and the stripes stand out crisply against the arctic white. And of course, it’s the details that set this tee apart: the boat neckline and the bell sleeves. There are so many ways to style this tee, both now and later.

The tee also comes in three solid colors: black, white and a lovely green. At around $30, I may pick up another!

These animal print mules are super cute and a great buy, if you hurry! They will go with so many things in your wardrobe!

To style this outfit for a summer or early fall look, I am showing it with a great pair of white jeans. That is not to say you couldn’t wear white jeans later, or any time you like–year-round–but white jeans do give the outfit a more summery look.

These are great white jeans, and while not part of the infamous sale, they are nice jeans at a moderate price point.

This type of outfit is perfect for a summer evening concert, a dinner date or party and a movie. Especially with a pair of animal print shoes like these calf-hair mules.

The jewelry is classic Kendra Scott–filigree necklace and earrings–that looks lovely with casual or dressy outfits.

Fall will be here before you know it, especially for you ladies in colder climates. It doesn’t seem possible with the intense heat most of us are dealing with, but we all know it can change in an instant. And to style this top in the fall is easy: just change jeans to a darker wash, like these great fitting designer jeans. I don’t usually spend a great deal on designer jeans, but these were worth waiting for from the NSale. They are from the Paige brand with a high waist which is so flattering. I waited 6 months to see if they would be part of the sale, so it was worth waiting for! I do have to hem them as they don’t come in petite, but the fit is otherwise so nice I couldn’t resist. It truly is worth it to own at least one pair of designer jeans that fit well and make you feel fabulous!

These adorable booties are by Splendid in a neutral shade (called oak) which is a lovely shade for fall. I love the cut-out back on these. A perfect transition bootie!

With this outfit, I styled my abalone jewelry from Kendra Scott. The green and black tones in these earrings and necklace are striking and go with most anything. The necklace is still available in a beautiful blue shade here. The earrings are on sale at a great price and come in many colors– see them here.

Trending: the cognac bag

The bag is one I styled before as in this post. Cognac is a big shoe and bag color for fall with lots of styles and is very versatile as part of your handbag wardrobe as it goes with everything. This particular bag is now only available in a linen shade, but I’ve linked to three very cute cognac bags here: hobo bag, shoulder bag, and a crossbody bag. All three bags are high-quality faux leather bags at reasonable prices.

If you are looking for a high-quality tee, check out this striped bell sleeve tee before it’s sold out. Of course, you can always copy this look with a tee you already have in your closet, and it would be a great look!

Thanks for stopping by!
