outfits of the day: 04.06.2011

so along with my printed sailboats tee, i picked up the first hints blouse from anthropologie. i loved the first version of this in black, but the print wasn't doing much for me. imagine my joy when it came out in ivory with a bird on it. eeeek. you know i love a bird print. (and this clip from portlandia cracks me up every time i think about how much i love little whimsical animals or prints on items.)

 

i couldn't run fast enough to the fitting room. and luckily i tried this one on. i ended up going with a 2! i wanted it to be a bit more fitted in the waist and not huge in the arms, and the 2 was perfect. it is shorter than most tops i own, but not too short (i am 5'4.) i love the top but would definitely recommend trying this one on to get the best fit. then, you know i had to add my schoolboy blazer from j.crew to complete the look:

 

 

oh and if you needed one more reason to love this top... it goes amazingly well with jeans, like i wore tonight to the salon.
