outfit of the day: 03.30.2011

hello, hello! i am so excited to show you my latest find from francesca's collections of all places!
it is called the memory lane top. and is completely sprinkled with pink elephants! so adorable!



i picked it up right before my movie date. :) which btw, the adjustment bureau was good! i would recommend it. (and it is definitely more chick flick than action thriller!)

so of course i had to wear it today:

i added in the rippled ribbon belt from anthropologie, this time in the tan colorway. my skirt is a little big, so i cinched it up and made a "paper-bag" waist with the belt.



here's a close up of those elephants:




then, i added the beaded eglantine cardigan in tan and my michael kors watch for good measure.











































oh! and my tights are from target by merona collection on sale this week. i love the delicate pattern of them:
merona openwork tight

  3. Wow that top is so cute. I would never typically go in that store. How does their sizing run? You have the best finds!

  5. thatdamngreendress - i know! so fun, right!?

    elizabeth - thank you! :) the skirt is a few years old, but the top is available online still.

    c - thanks! i never go in their either. too overwhelming. i tried on both a small and medium and went with the small. it was a little more fitted on the bottom, but since i was tucking it in, i didn't mind. i wanted it to be more fitted on the shoulders.

    jenn - thank you!! i think the cardigan added just a little more polish. :)

  6. Your elephant blouse is too sweet! I regret not buying that cardigan. I had so many opportunities to get it and I didn't. I'm a silly lady.

  8. fallon - i know the feeling with a couple other anthro items. i wish anthro would have more cardigans like they used to. i miss all those little pretty basics

    alexandria - thank you! the skirt is by milly and i think i purchased from neiman marcus, but it was also available from nordstrom. it is a few years old, but maybe ebay would have some? good luck!!
