OOTD

Happy Thursday!

Yesterday afternoon things finally slowed down at work. I am just catching my breath, because I am pretty sure that things will pick up speed again next week.

Anyways, I had a minute yesterday to snap a picture of my outfit. I went deep into the depths of my closet and pulled out one of my favorite Anthro blouses from a couple years ago. Sadly, this little top has not been getting enough attention.

Meet Anthro's Midnight Sun Blouse (circa 2008). Swoon! I stalked this blouse for months. I considered paying the full original $98 price tag, but back in 2008 I just could not justify that price on a student budget. So I patiently waited for it to hit sale and I snagged it at 1/2 off! I love it when I get the Anthro goods for 1/2 off!

The color is definitely different IRL. The "half-moons" in the product shot appear to be a brighter red. But as you can see from the pictures below, they are really closer to purple.

Also, as you can see the blouse has a pretty serious v-neck. The first time I wore it I thought I could get away without a cami. Big mistake! So now I always pair it with a neutral skin-toned cami.

And here is how I wore the blouse yesterday. I kept it simple with black crops (we had sunshine!) and some amazing shoes. Since my office is kept on the cooler side, I threw my amazingly versatile roaming frills cardi over it. I think it worked out pretty swell!
