Without realizing it, my Tuesday outfit was pink and green. The pink from Monday’s outfit was a little subtle but Tuesday it was more pronounced. Wednesday’s outfit of pink and green was completely on purpose.

On Tuesday, I knew I wanted to wear the Pleated Crepe Skirt in Vibrant Fuchsia and have been dying to copy Lisa’s outfit. My version includes the Perfect Shirt in Mini-Gingham in Heather Emerald, the Pleated Crepe Skirt and the Cece Suede Ballet Flats in Wild Berry.

The bracelet is an in-store only item my SA called the Jello Mold bracelet. I think it looks a little like a bowler hat too.

Wednesday’s outfit was a deliberate pick of Pink and Green. I wanted to see if I could find another Pink and Green outfit in my closet. Last year’s Thermal Striped Tee, The Sterling Skirt in Mint, the Cece’s again and the Jello Mold bracelet.  I am wearing an 8 Petite in the Sterling Skirt and it’s perfect. I originally ordered a 6 and it was too tight in the waist and past my knees in the length.

I probably had two more days of Pink and Green in my closet but I think three days is enough.

Have a Great Day!

Unlike many of you, who switch out your closet to flow with the weather changes in your area, I have to be prepared for daily changes in weather.

For example, I wore the gorgeous Cashmere Bateau Sweater in Stripe on Thursday with my GAP Essential Jeans and Bronson Suede Booties in Black. I added the Velvet Schoolboy Blazer in Black for the evening.

These jeans have been my favorite for a long time and they have held up well.

The Velvet Schoolboy Blazer from last year for a little nip in the air.

On Friday, I was at the opposite end of the thermometer so I grabbed my Cap Sleeve Column Dress and Kate Spade Kiki’s to run errands and hit the salon. There are still a few of these dresses left and at a great price too. I really love the Column Dress that Bailey 44 seems to do every season. I’m glad they started making a knee length version too.

Speaking of “Kiki”…


LOVE!

Today, we’re hitting warm temps again so a mini skirt and tee will do nicely for the day. This is an embellished Loft tee with the Surf Tweed Charter Skirt and Bright Dahlia/Wild Berry color accents with the Belt and Cece Suede Flats.

A little trim and lovely highlights from my Friday salon visit.

I am lucky enough to have a larger closet to keep everything out all year. I only store away the Cashmere and heavier knit sweaters in March but they are easily accessible in the closet if needed for a nippy Spring day.
Have a Great Day!

We’ve had a little cool weather so of course it was the perfect time to bring out the Anchor Hoodie sold this summer (?!?!?). It’s the perfect amount of warmth for our version of cold weather. The jeans are some new favorites from Lucky Brand, the Sienna Cigarette Jeans. You can get them right now for 25% off online. They are button-fly and can be rolled up or down. I’m wearing the Dark Palye in a size 6/28. I’ve paired them with the MacAlister Calf Hair Booties that I was able to score on a pop-back plus 25% off.

The are lovely little booties and I was so happy to find them. My PS is jealous and might steal them from me, especially since we are the same size! LOL!

This outfit just screamed Retro/70s when I saw the picture so I added a filter. This is the new Thermal Henley in Navy Stripe, size Small, with the Flair Skirt from last year and Corso Como Samual boots.

Ugh! This hair is driving me CRAZY! I have a salon appointment tomorrow and though I want to chop it all off, I am trying really hard to grow it out some more to change things up. I do remember why I like short hair though…Tangles!!! I have the worst hair when it comes to tangles and I remember vividly my mother yanking on my head to brush them out. Ouch!
Hope you’re having a Great Evening! The Boy and I are off to dinner with Husband. An early “Congratulations!” dinner for The Boy since he will be inducted into the National Honor Society tomorrow. We are so proud! But this also means he is really that much closer to leaving home and going to college. He is taking his SATs in January and will find out his class ranking then too. As a parent, it’s all to much to take in sometimes.

PS…Molly has her first post up from the Anthro event!

I had a wedding shower to attend Sunday and was happy to wear my Allie Dress in Aqua Floral. I was able to buy this a month or so ago on sale with a percent off. I was worried about the fit as I’ve tried the cotton and Basketweave dresses that were pretty tight through the waist, even in the size 8. But this size 8 fit like a dream. It was chilly and I was going to add tights but I don’t have an exact match for the Coddington heels in Cobblestone. I added a grey Cashmere cardigan from Express that I purchased many many years ago.

After the shower I stopped at the Outlet Mall. Kate Spade had 50% off the whole store and I had a few Christmas presents to buy. I changed out my shoes for some old Salina ballet flats which matched exactly.

Of course I stopped at the J Crew Factory Store to see what was there. I ended up buying some PJ pants, two scarves, a Jackie in Retro Jade (matches the dress!) and a Retail find – The Jester Turtleneck for $22. There were three of these just smushed together in the Clearance section and I happened to find a Medium.
Have a Great Evening!

Here are a few fitting room pics for those of you contemplating a purchase while the COLOR25 promo is going on.

The Thermal Henley in Stripe, Dark Emerald, Sz M, $49.50 but on promo for $29.50 plus the 25% off make this a great deal. I bought three colors of this in the non-button version last year and they are great for lounging or throwing on with jeans, not leggings, to run to the store. I don’t know how many “Oh Honey”s and “Leggings are NOT pants” I muttered under my breath Friday and Saturday. I don’t care what size you are, I don’t want see your booty. But I digress, This Henley runs big, IMO, so size down if you want a closer fit. I didn’t like the way the last two buttons felt against my skin so down low. I grabbed this color and the Navy in a Small. I’ll certainly wear this with Matchstick jeans, boots or flats, scarf and a puffer vest, if needed.

Bow Shirt, Size 10 – I did not realize this was not online so I didn’t grab a pic of the tag. I also didn’t realize my PS gave me a 10 instead of at least an 8. I would probably take a 6 in this as it did run big. This has little bows all over and then a bow at the neckline. It also comes in purple, not blue like my picture below.

You can see the bow detail a little better in the solid color. This is a size 8 and you can see it is still wide through the body. Yep, a 6 would be best for me but I’ll pass on both. The print is way too girly for me and…don’t hurt me Gigi (ducking the chancla)…I’m not a fan of the Bow trend.
Silk Boy Shirt in Windowpane, Fuchsia Windowpane, Sz 6 – I’m starting to wear a 6 in the silk Boy Shirts as the fit is fine for me across the shoulders. This is just as bright IRL as it is on the website. I thought I liked it but after trying it on decided against it. I have a few neon colored sweaters already that work for me.
Funnel-neck Hoodie, Sz Small – Last year’s version has a kangaroo pocket in front. This was very cozy, but a little tight in the arms. I’d size up to a Medium for comfort. Honestly, I don’t think this is worth $110, or $110 less the 25%. There’s a Men’s Shawl Collar Sweater that is so cool and only $59.50. The material is similar to this Hoodie. The Boy has one and I ordered another for him. He loves them. 
City Mini in Dublin Tartan, Sz 8 – This did not fit well on me at all. The size 6 would have been shorter but there was something off about this. The wool felt different than last year’s version and it’s not worth the $98 plus 25%. Maybe $79.50 plus 25% off. But because of the Christmas season and the Tartan green it was selling.
No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Dot Brocade, Sz 6 – As you can see this is very fitting. I’d size up to an 8 if I purchased this but it would be a one-trick pony for me so I’ll pass. Also, after putting this on, the skirt shifted, so I’d be adjusting this constantly.
And finally, an outfit. I wore this today to do a little more shopping. It was lovely. No one was out. The shelves had been re-stocked in stores and the traffic was light. 
Sweater: Factory Puffin
Shirt: Blythe in Polka Dot
Jeans: Matchstick

Hope the reviews help! Have a Great Evening!
