outfit of the day: 10.05.2011

hello! i ended up wearing my target zipper front dress to work a few weeks ago. i added my madchen lace slip from anthropologie and it made the dress just long enough for the office.

 


here is the polyvore breakdown, with a similar blazer from forever21 only in brown:

hello. back with another outfit from last week:
























i have to apologize about the dirty mirror. it's making all my clothes look like they have giant smudges right in the middle of them. whoopsies. anywho...
i picked up this soft cardigan (bed jacket/kimono jacket/open cardigan - every retailer seems to refer to them differently) at forever21 last week for a mere $13.80! i figured it would be the perfect way to dress down a suiting dress from j.crew.
 

outfit: forever21 jacket, j.crew dress, target shoes, anthropologie belt, j.crew bracelet.

outfit of the day: 09.24.2011

another favorite outfit to share. it all begins with this fabulous printed star dress by alice ritter. here is a close up of the print from a blouse photo i found:


















you know by now, i love prints... and i really loved this one. i found the dress at t.j.maxx with a tag that looked like it was from urban outfitters. i haven't been able to find out much about the dress as it is from a prior season. anyway, the whole thing was very strange, but i digress. i found the dress. tried it on. loved it... but just wasn't 100% sure. t.j.maxx requires quick decisions and i don't always like that. so i put the dress back and didn't purchase. a week later i was still thinking about it - so i went back, but of course, no dress.

fast forward three weeks. shopping again at the maxx, the dress re-appeared and this time i didn't hesitate.
 

something about that big bow puts a big smile on my face. to make it work appropriate, i added a blazer:
