Here are a few OOTDs from this week.

Monday – Valentine’s Day – Honestly, Husband and I decided long ago to not celebrate. It’s nice to receive flowers and cards and chocolate but I’d rather have them on a day where he doesn’t seem like he’s forced to do it. Just make it random. Of course, that didn’t stop me from buying a card and for he and The Boy, along with making a nice dinner and having some wine.

Blouse/Corset: Polynya Corset Top in Black Anthropologie
Cardigan: J Crew Factory Store in Dark Peony (I think – DPE)
Skirt: JC Ripple Stripe Pencil Skirt in Black (6)
Shoes: JC Penelope in Black

Tuesday – Shopping with Husband for his Vegas trip. We had some beautiful, 75 degree weather that day.

Blouse: J Crew Silk Sequin Scoopneck – Size Small (look for popbacks)
Jeans: JC Ankle Stretch Toothpick in Cherish Wash – Size 30
Shoes: Prada Leopard Flats

Wednesday in the office – Such a gorgeous dress and it feels great on. It makes me feel great! I was looking for a cardigan to go over it and thought of a lime green or mint color. But then I walked into J Crew and saw the Warm Buttercup Jackie was a PERFECT PERFECT match!

Dress: Take Action by Girls from Savoy Anthropologie – Size 6
Cardigan: J Crew Jackie in Warm Buttercup – Size M
Shoes: J Crew Joley in Twig (I think)

See what I mean!

Have a great evening!

I saw the Castle Lake Dress at Anthro when I was there last week but didn’t try it on. Then I saw it Kathleen over at Princess of Taylor and she looked fantastic in it so I had to try it. I returned the Girls of Savoy Bindwood Blouse and found a Small and Medium in the Castle Lake Dress, currently on sale for $89.95.

  
Dress: Castle Lake Dress by Floreat from Anthropologie
Cardigan: J Crew Outlet Jackie in White
Shoes: Corso Como Espadrilles
I wore this to the office Thursday. I felt like I should be vacationing in the Mediterranean with this dress on. The print is lovely and the colors are so pretty. The rope detail at the neck makes it unique.
The first image is from Anthropologie and it shows the keyhole in the front, as does the catalog image, but the tag is there so that is actually the back. Weird, huh? I wanted to wear flat sandals with it but didn’t have anything but flip-flops. Some Miss Trish sandals from Target would have been really cute. I have a pair of Miu Miu that don’t really fit but I can’t bear to get rid of them right now. I mean, they kind of fit, but not in a go-to-shoe kind of way? So now that’s two new pairs of shoes on my list to search for – cute flat sandals and black sling-back sandals. 
Today and the weekend are all about shorts and tees for me. It’s raining and The Boy wants to go shopping. I did not mis-type. The Boy asked me to take him shopping. He’s invited to an end-of-year party that is a “White Party”, a-la P. Diddy/Puff Daddy/whatever his name is. Everyone dresses in white. I found some white/off-white shorts but he wants to find something better. Apparently his friends are all talking about this and he’s excited to go. So, shopping it is with The Boy. 
Have a great day!
