This past weekend was Lollapalooza, the biggest music festival in Chicago. Even though I lived in Chicago last summer, I still have never been able to attend. After watching nonstop snap chats and live streaming videos, I feel as if I was there.
Not only was I watching tons of videos, I had multiple customers come into Nordstrom looking for outfits leading up to this weekend. After helping customers style different looks, I decided to create my own “Lolla” outfit.
In only a few steps, you can make your own embroidered denim. It’s actually quite easy!
To do this, start with shopping your local thrift store for some denim. Another option is to find an old pair that you don’t wear anymore.
Next, you’ll need to find some fun patches that you want to rock on your denim. I suggest either individually choosing your patches or if you want to be more cost effective you could order a kit containing multiple patches.
Shop this top: Topshop Papaya Graphic Crop Tee
Most of my wardrobe is very classic, but when I saw this shirt I just couldn’t resist. This Topshop tee is super unique, ballsy, and pretty funny. Although I don’t think this top would be appropriate for a family function, it would be perfect at an outdoor barbeque, a day at the beach, or a casual lunch with your friends.
As a current Nordstrom employee, I have been scoping out the anniversary products for weeks now. And a few items caught my eye the moment they hit our stock room. Other products I have discovered through multiple styling appointments with my customers.
At Nordstrom, we highly encourage customers to set up appointments and we do this because the store can literally become insane! We aren’t exaggerating, this sale is like nothing you have experienced before.
Nordstrom is about offering the best customer experience possible and we can’t do that when there are hundreds of people in the store wondering around aimlessly looking for help. Some customers love the idea of appointments and other people hate it. I like to tell customers that they can take advantage of it how they wish to, but to set one up either way! (It’s free assistance, why wouldn’t you?!)
I’ve had some appointments where I am just getting the customer a fitting room and making sure they grabbed the correct sizes. And I’ve had other appointments where I am styling the customer head to toe, bringing them water and walking the entire floor with them. It just depends on the customer.
If you want to avoid this hectic shopping altogether, follow these thinks to shop the same items online! There’s free shipping and free returns on all products.
