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.

 
























here is the polyvore breakdown:
Anthropologie dress
$130 - anthropologie.com

Forever21 winged shoes
$25 - forever21.com

J Crew silk jewelry
$70 - jcrew.com


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:

anthropologie mompos dress fitting review and styling options

well better late than never no?

the mompos dress by tracy reese arrived at my local store last week (a total relief that i didn't have to spend for shipping!) i tried on both the 6 and the 8 (usually i am an 8 or medium in tracy reese dresses) and felt like the 8 was the best fit. i could zip the 6 up, but it was just a little too tight for comfort, so i would recommend going with your usual size in tracy reese.
