OOTD

I wrote this post yesterday, but just got around to posting it.

Happy Thursday everyone!

 

I am itching for the weekend in a bad way. Something about this work week was just plain slow. I don't know if it is lack of sleep (though I thought I was getting enough), the poor weather, or the fact that I have not had a real vacation since August. Something was just off  for me this week. And it really feels like Friday, rather than Thursday.

 

I am hoping that a nice, fun weekend will do the trick. Saturday is my birthday (!!!) and I will be going to one of my favorite places- the zoo! And I already have my outfit planned, so stay tuned for that one.

 

On to today's OOTD-

 

I loved the print on this dress the moment I saw it last year. Nothing was going to stop me from bringing it home. I shopped smart, and used a 40% off promotion so it was a great deal. I am not sure the shape is the best for me because it seems to make me look extra "hippy," but the print makes me extra "happy" so it balances out.

 

As for the cardigan, it will be retired once I find a suitable replacement. Something about the way it fits in the shoulders makes it very hard to wear. I kind of hate it. But it is my only brown cardigan. I think I will grab my favorite Jackie cardigan in a chocolate brown the next time I see one.

Dress: Banana Republic (2009)

Cardigan: Anthropologie (2008?)

Blouse: Anthropologie (2007?)

Tights: Brown tights by Hue

Shoes: Jeffery Campbell

 

On a side note, I found the amazing, gorgeous, lovely Conch Shell Skirt on eBay with a BIN! I jumped on it without really thinking. And, oh boy, it is going to be mine! I am so excited! The catch is that it is a size 8, so I am going to have to get it tailored to my normal size (4). So worth it! This skirt is gorgeous, and it is something that will stay in my closet for years and years.
