A rut. They’re so darn easy to fall into. For me, it typically happens when monotony sets in… you know, the same thing day after day. Don’t get me wrong, I like routine. I thrive on routine…. but sometimes it gets to be too much. A workout rut (I wrote about that here), a food rut (guilty as charged… oatmeal queen over here!), a clothing rut. Clothing rut. Yes… as in “Hi, my name is Shannon and I have an addiction to cut-offs and a tee right now.” Not that there is anything wrong with that. They’re comfortable, casual, and chic (a little alliteration for you…)… the perfect piece for everyday. Yet, when I want to break out of that rut, without getting too crazy, then this is the outfit I opt for…. a simple shift dress, my new favorite platform espadrille kicks, and a favorite summer hat….

And… speaking of getting out of ruts, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the perfect opportunity to do so. Early access starts today, and I’ll be sharing my favorites tomorrow morning. Let me know if there is anything in particular you’d like to see.
