Happy May and Happy 3rd month of quarantine my friends! If you’re like me, this weird new normal is starting to feel kind of ok? I mean we’re being safe, clean and healthy…sure I haven’t seen my friends, or my office, in what feels like forever but um, I’m okay? 😩😛😉
However, one thing that is keeping me afloat is the spring sale over at Nordstrom’s! They are running a huge 50% off sale and of course while Mother’s Day is coming up and this is a great time to grab my all-time fav. gift for my mom, the barefoot dreams® cozy cardigan, I was thinking about you and what items we could use for when the Bat-phone finally rings and we hear “You can come back to work now!”
So, I pulled together a few items ranging from dainty jewelry to a bit funkier styles and even bags for work and desk accessories. Since this isn’t the time to be dropping a TON of money I made sure that I found some of the best sales just for you! Like my mom always said, “Never buy an item unless it’s at least 20% off and has free shipping!”
Dainty Jewelry
If you’re anything like me I like to make sure I have a handful of classic pieces of jewelry that I can throw on and I know it will complete my outfit. This is my jewelry for those days I’m running a few minutes behind and time wasted on a jewelry decision is time I could be grabbing my coffee and heading out the door! So for those days I look to simple gold or silver pieces that I know will look faboo and I head off to work. I found a few pieces that are just so cute and adorable and all under $30!
A Pop of Color
Right before our stay at home orders I was just getting into and playing with more bold pieces of jewelry and pops of color to add to my outfit. I truly believe that a great piece of jewelry can be the centerpiece of your outfit if you have on classic pieces (dark denim jeans, crisp white button-up, gorge handbag, trendy Roth’s flats) and jazz it up with blue tassel earrings and some beachy waves. All of these pops of color can be added to your wardrobe staples, all for under $60!
Bag It Up
No matter the kind of office life you are living, whether it’s a ‘we only go casual on Fridays’ corporate environment or you work for REI headquarters and can live your best outdoors life, the Nordstrom sale has a bag for everyone! I have gone through tons of phases with the kind of bag I take to work in my career. Sometimes it’s the all-in-one laptop/purse tote bag, sometimes I give the laptop her own lil’ bag and bring a smaller purse, and lately, I’ve even gone the backpack route. Whatever you need, these bags are here for you and range from $60 to just under $200!
Office Flair
There is no reason NOT to treat your office space with a little extra something to say “Hi, I missed you SOO much” upon your return! I love to make my office space, whether it’s an office or a cubicle, a little more me. From artwork to a soft scent floating in the air to eco-friendly lunch containers, it’s important to keep yourself surrounded by things that make you happy and ultimately make you feel comfortable in your space so you can crank out some amazing work! Now excuse me while I look at a cute new eco-friendly lunch bowl for $25? What a bargain!!
I hope you liked the goodies that I pulled together for you and the office. While I know we’re all still staying at home and doing what we can to stay safe it’s nice to think about that one-day-soon return to work. Oh and return to work looking cute we will!
