Striped Buttondown + $500 Nordstrom Giveaway

Texas fashion blogger dresses up Anthropologie's Northfork Striped Buttondown Tunic with black accessories.

Thank heavens for oversized buttondown tunic tops from Anthropologie! It feels so good to be able to wear something cute, fresh and non-maternity this far along in my pregnancy. Plus this top is going to be amazing when baby is here! My mom friends have been telling me that I’m going to be living in buttondowns when nursing, so I was thrilled to snag this one on promotion last week.

Today I’m sharing how I dressed up this oh-so-cute buttondown && giving y’all a chance to win a $500 gift card to Nordstrom! Wouldn’t that just make the perfect Christmas gift, huh!?

Shop the Look:

I played off the small black stripes in this top and chose to complete the look with head to toe black accessories. From my felt hat to my ankle boots, the all black details elevate this  laid-back buttondown from casual to sophisticated.

Speaking of sophisticated, are chokers? Part of me feels like the choker trend is geared a bit more towards a younger crowd (maybe it’s all those 17-year-old jewelry models faults?!) but I can’t get enough of this 90s trend! Kendra Scott has jumped on the choker train too with this black & gold one. At just $55 (which is fab for KS) it would make an adorable holiday gift!

Now that we’re on the subject of gift giving, who all has their Christmas shopping finished?! I still have one more present to snag for someone special. If you still have a lot left to shop, here’s to hoping you get lucky and are the winner of the giveaway below! I’m teaming up with some of my favorite Houston Bloggers this week to bring yall this extra special giveaway. We all pooled our $$$ together to give back to you guys this holiday season!
