OOTD- A bit of a cheat.

Today's OOTD is actually from a week or so ago. I have concluded I am not really digging my actual OOTD, so I am not going to post it. It had a good foundation, and incorporated the lovely Embroidered Thicket Blouse (seen here, but no longer available) that I grabbed yesterday from Anthro’s sale racks. I feel that something got lost in translation. I am thinking it has to do with the way I accessorized. Oh well, they can't all be winners. I will rework this outfit for a later date.

Dress: Ann Taylor Loft (no longer available)
Belt: Anthropologie Synapse Belt (gift from sister)

Tights: Anthropologie 2009

Necklace: Anthropologie’s From O’Keefe Necklace (sold out online)

Boots: Banana Republic’s Elois Tall Boots (here)

I bought this dress when I was in New York over President’s Day Weekend for a reunion with girlfriends from high school. Since all three of those girls now live out on the East Coast (2 in New York, 1 in Philly), I make it out there twice a year. We spend the weekend eating, shopping, and giggling.

We stopped by The Loft after seeing some cute styles in the window on our way home from dinner the evening before. I actually grabbed this dress off the sale rack for my friend Melissa since it was not my size. She found it to be too big, so I tried it on. It was perfect. And half off.

I love sweater dresses and find them to be the perfect “go-to” on rainy days where I just want to climb back into bed. Guess I had one of those days last week.
