Not to rub it in but this is the BEST weather. Cool enough for a light cardigan but you can still wear shorts. Not too hot or humid that you need a shower as soon as you walk out the door. Blue skies and not a cloud in the sky. LOVE IT!!

I received my Anthropologie order today and changed part of my original OOTD from my Polyvore set. I purchased the Brass Tack Wedges (on sale) and the Toe-Tapping Flats. I needed another pair of classic black flats and for $64 they were perfect. I love the studding on the Brass Tack Wedges…so cool.

Here’s the Polyvore.

And the IRLs…
Close to the edge…trying not to fall in or off.

I really like the print of this Kelsey ruffle cami. The ruffles are growing on me and I think the sweater tamed it down and kept me from looking too clown-ish. I bought this color of Jackie sweater, Pearl after seeing Gigi’s review of the Jackie sweaters. This is really a great color, not white, not gray…perfect IMO. 
The shorts are just a different color of the the ones I wore yesterday. They are a 3 1/2 inch inseam but they do sit right on my hips (size 6) so they feel a little longer. I normally prefer 5 inch or longer (Bermudas) but these are great. I don’t feel like I’m over-exposing my legs. I would have never know if I hadn’t tried them on. The belt was an after thought when I was in the store. I wasn’t sure what I would wear it with but decided to bring it home anyway. Perfect for this outfit and with these shoes.
Also, CONGRATULATIONS to the winners of the Coffee Kozy Giveaway: AppGal, One Fashionista Diva, Ashley, Debra and Gigi.

We’ve been having some beautiful, 70+ degree weather the past few days. Perfect for shorts and light sweater layering.

Here’s the Polyvore.

 

I wasn’t sure the top and color of the shorts would work together but it’s growing on me. I also wasn’t originally sure about the shoes but decided on the flats for the day. The shorts were in my store last week and are now on the website.
 
 
Here’s my OOTD from Tuesday.
AND, I went to the salon on Saturday to get my haircut and some highlights.
 

Have a GREAT day!

Gigi did some recent posts (here, here and here) about items from Old Navy so I stopped by there yesterday afternoon. I found the ruffle tiered skirt she reviewed but I also found shoes! And in pretty pretty colors.

These were really cute but not what I purchased.
Women’s Burnished Strappy Wedges – $29.50 $20.00 – They come in Dark Brown and Purple, sizes 6-11M.

Faux-Leather Cross-Strap Wedges – $29.50 $20.00 – They come in Black Jack, Dark Brown, Dark Blue and Yellow, sizes 6-11M. I actually like the blue and may go back and get them today.
I did purchase these (and I really wanted every color).
Women’s Braided Faux-Leather Wedges in Purple – $29.50 $25.00  – They also come in Tan and Graphite, Sizes 6-11M and have a stacked 4 inch wedge heel.
I also purchased these. I call them the Faux-Leather Gladiator Wedge. They are not on the website. They come in the Graphite, Purple and Tan and were $29.50 (my guess is they are also $20 or 25 now).
They also had these. Aren’t they the cutest ballet flats? They are not online and there was only a size 9 left in the store.
But they did have a similar-looking clutch. (not online)

And here’s my OOTD.

Top: Tabitha (from Anthropologie)
Jeans: GAP Essential
Shoes: ON Braided Faux-Leather Wedges in Purple
Bag: Bisbee Satchel in Summer Hyacinth (not shown)

I’m heading in to one of our market offices today and have the opportunity to wear my Rose Vines Perfect Shirt and use my Bisbee Satchel. My drop-in from The Plaid Purse hasn’t come in yet but it goes so well with what I’m wearing.

And Gigi reminded me that the coveting and visiting I was doing with this purse is called “faux rent”. Love it. Here’s her list of other “Crewlang“.

I was in my Anthropologie store making some returns and saw the Off-the-Tie-Rack blouse styled with a sweater. I absolutely loved it. I’ve been wanting to wear the blouse but the weather is just not co-operating. Now, of course, you are thinking “A sweater would be nice over it during the Spring.” but it was the WAY it was styled. Just watch…

Here’s the Polyvore.

2.26.2010 OOTD
2.26.2010 OOTD by audreybella featuring J Crew & Anthropologie

Here is how it is online. I wrapped the sash around one more time so the bow is smaller on me.

Here is how the SA told me to tie the bow. Just a simple knot.

Here is the way it was styled yesterday.

They used a shawl cardigan but since I already had a long J Crew cardi I saw no need (yay!) to buy the one they used – as tempting as it was.

Since it is a bit windy I added the Eden blazer. They are very convenient for layering and grabbing at the last minute when you’re going out the door. I would get another but I have the Ecole in the Brown and my Wool Schoolboy in Redwood should be coming today.

I had some success yesterday with the boy. I bought him “adult” jeans at American Eagle and not only did they fit but he liked the style and wash! AND…today I got him to wear a belt. He has this pair, his favorite, that he has been wearing EVERY.SINGLE.DAY! He washes them at least once during the week but he walked out of the house yesterday with his “pants on the ground”. And, of course, the bus was just about to show up so it was either 1) Get after him and make him change which would mean he would miss the bus and I’d have to take him or 2) Let it go for one more day. I let it go. He’s taller than me and has a deep voice now so I pick my battles. ;o)

Have a great day!
