outfit of the day: 05.16.2011

hello!  still catching up, but did you all get anything delightful at the anthropologie tag sale today?

i popped online this morning and ended up ordering just the pezza dress in the green colorway... i initially liked the blue (and reviewed it here) but it was no longer available online and all my local stores have been sold out of it for some time (and i am still debating on it as i am not sure the green will be quite right for me...)

anyways, onto the outfit of the day: ever have those days where you just love your outfit? i felt like that on monday.

it started off with the weekend. on friday night, S went to dinner with me and helped me move a bit. it is certianly nice to have some help. (can't wait till sunday when we meet up again!) then, i had a wonderful evening with my pal M on sunday. she popped over to have a "grand tour" of the apartment and brought delicious eclairs to celebrate. yay!

if there is one thing that is fun about moving it is all the friends who come to visit (especially ones who bring treats!)! anyway, the good vibes from the weekend just continued into monday morning. i had to wake up extra early as now i am an official "communter." i had just finished organizing one side of my closet, so it was nice and easy to create an outfit.














i love roygbiv organization by garment type.






















still working on the shoes above. but from my organized closet, i came up with this:

























































i had my hair in a ponytail too. it was preppy and simple. i loved it.  i got to wear some heels i have been dying to wear, just not sure what to pair with them. this outfit was perfect for them.

outfit of the day: 05.12.2011

well, i am finally able to share with you my outfit from thursday! sorry for the delay, as you are probably aware, blogger was having some crazy issues. :(  i realized my polka dot dress that i planned on wearing was still at the dry-cleaners, so i wore an old classic from leifsdottir and paired it with my newer en route blazer.

i'll be a little mia for the next few days as i continue with the move - but all my furniture arrived safely and i am looking forward to sharing photos. (i just need to get my internet service at my new place!) have a wonderful weekend!

until next time,
S

outfit of the day: 05.11.2011

hello there! happy wednesday! today's outfit should be no surprise...



































so one slight switch up to the anticipation heels, which honestly, were the closest to find. i just love my anticipation heels. such a good buy! thinking through my closet move definitely makes me realize i have workhorses and some other items than aren't earning their "stripes" so to speak. once i finish moving, i might have to re-sort and perhaps post a few on my find-and-dime for someone else to love.
 

i have also come to the realization that for the past year i have had the best walk-in closet i will probably ever have. we're talking huuuggee with space for a dresser and extra storage. though i definitely still have a nice walk-in closet in my new place, it just can't compete with the additional space 9' ceilings had given me.



































oh well. i could always turn the 2nd bedroom into a dream closet like zooey deschanel's in that cotton commerical. you know the one? watch it here on youtube. i think she is absolutely adorable and that closet is perfection.  here's my polyvore breakdown:
