I just thought this shot looked so pretty! The sun hit us just at the perfect spot!

This one too! I'm glowing :)

Happy Tuesday! So sorry this post is going up so late but today was so hectic. I've been so busy trying to blog, work my full time, job, style, have a social life, love on my boyfriend and family, workout and sleep -- literally trying to do it all, everyday is exhausting. My friend told me about Randi Zuckerberg's book Pick 3 and how it explains that while we try to have it all, all the time, it's impossible so if we can pick 3 things to accomplish each day, your days become a little bit more balanced. Between work, family, friends, fitness and sleep, pick 3 and there's a higher chance you'll actually achieve your daily goals! Ever since she mentioned the practice, I've been trying to incorporate it in my day to day. Life can get so hectic sometimes, hence why this post is going up a little late!

I wanted to talk about giving your wardrobe a little makeover. I shared with you all a couple weeks ago that I was starting up a business as a style consultant. I wanted to make my services available to everyone, regardless of budget and I wanted to show how it is possible to make style fit for you! One of my favorite ways to incorporate new outfits in my closet is restyling the pieces I already have. Every once in a while I do a major purge and donate things that I haven't worn in over a year. I love using Thread Up to donate my clean and undamaged items, and after doing a purge I like to revaluate what is left. I'm a fan of basics and neutrals so I also make sure to keep a couple neutral pieces in my closet (white t-shirt, beige blazer, black jeans, etc.), and I love to have some prints too! I begin by taking out casual wear first and rearranging tops with bottoms and I make sure to take pictures of the new outfits I've styled that way I can always go back and look when I think I have nothing to wear.

Everything in today's post are pieces that I've had for at least 6-8 months yet never wore them this way. I'll be sharing even more #restylejuly outfits throughout the end of the month, make sure to follow the hashtag and if you're looking for styling advice, shoot me an email at style@thepetiteprinciple.com. I'd love to help you!

Happy Monday, everyone! As many of you already know the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts this week. It's one of my favorite sales of the year and I wanted break down every detail in today's post.

The officially sale starts on July 12th for cardmembers! Cardmembers get to exclusively shop pre-season styles for a full week from July 12th to the 19th before the sale opens up to the public. Starting on July 20th the public gets to shop the sale until August 5th when it ends.

My recommendations for the sale:

Get a Nordstrom Card: I got mine just in time for the sale two years ago and I haven't regretted it. I personally don't like getting store credit cards unless I really like shopping at that store and shop often. Getting a Nordstrom card has only been beneficial for me, especially during the Anniversary Sale. You get reward notes that you can use towards your purchases and an alteration credit. You also get to shop the sale a week before everyone else and before all the good items sell out!

Shop for classic pieces: If you've been eyeing a pair of designer denim, now would be the time to get them. Most items are nicely discounted which is awesome considering these are all fall pieces. I purchased my black leather jacket during the sale and I wore it all fall!

Shop luxury: Like I stated before this sale is truly one of a kind and the discounts are great. Most stores have sales once products have been available for a couple weeks but this sale gives you discounted rates before the fall season begins! Brands like Tory Burch, Vince Camuto, BlankNYC and Rebecca Minkoff are available and it's the perfect time to buy from these brands.

Buy many sizes: Since I'm a petite, I often order a variety of sizes when shopping. While I know my measurements, I like to get a few sizes to try on at home so that I can figure out which one fits best. I would recommend doing the same for this sale. A lot of items sell out quickly so it's best to buy a few different sizes just incase and return what doesn't fit,  instead of trying to find another size later on in the sale.

My grandma always said dress up like you’re going to meet your future husband; while it’s no longer 1955 and I don’t feel the pressure to dress up for a man, I understand the sentiment behind what she said. Dress up like you’re meeting someone important, dress up like you’re meeting a potential client, or your future boss. Dress up like you’re representing yourself, which is at the end of the day is your brand. Style is important and it’s a reflection of you. It’s a reflection of how you’re feeling, how you feel about yourself and the message you are trying to portray to the world. I’m passionate about style and making it accessible to all.

Because my love for style is so strong, I’ve decided to pursue my passion and become a styling consultant. As a personal style blogger and as a petite discovering my style has been a journey all its own and I’m so excited to share my experience and knowledge with you ladies out there. Regardless of your body size, your budget or circumstance I’m ready to make style fit for you. I’ll be providing the following services and if you have any questions please feel free to email me at
style@thepetiteprinciple.com or visit the styling page on my blog!
