OOTD- Ugh, I caught a coworker's cold!

Here is a quick OOTD. Please excuse the dazed, tired look on my face- I am on my second dose of DayQuil in 2 hours.

I happened to catch a cold from a co-worker. I usually banish all people with cold like symptoms from my presence. But I had no opportunity to avoid this co-worker during the early part of this week. I am armed with DayQuil, NightQuil, and Cold-Eeze cough drops. I am declaring war on this little cold by diligently ignoring the dosing instructions on the box. The plan is to blast this little cold away by tomorrow.

Seattle is supposed to get temps up into the high 60s tomorrow. I refuse to be in bed with a cold on what may be the very last bit of warm weather until July. Seattle has the cruel tendency to tease me with one or two nice, warm, sunny days in late March or April, and then deprive me of all things Spring until July! Without fail, I threaten to pack my bags and leave this city for good at least twice between April and June. But somehow the amazing weather between July and October replaces my feelings of hate with feelings of love.
 
Anyways, onto today's casual friday outfit:
 

 Jeans: Citizens of Humanity (old, stolen from my mom)

Shoes: by Linea Paolo the Rack ($23!!!)

Blouse: Banana Republic (old- 2006?)

Necklace: Purchased in Brazil

And the winner is.....

The Wind Cather Dress (here)!
After a lot of thought and internal debate, my friend has decided to go with this whimsical little number from Anthro for her bridesmaids dress!

I am super excited, and I think it works perfect for what she is going for.

I included the picture I took trying on the dress at the store. Now just imagine it with heels and pressed. Cute yes?



I purchased the dress last week. I am going to have to ask the BF to hide the dress from me so that I am not tempted to wear it out before the wedding.


I wanna pair it with cowboy boots, a brown belt, and a cardigan.

OOTD: Goooooooooooooooo Huskies!

Hmmmm. This photo is a bit blurry. But not blurry enough to hide the wrinkles on my blouse! I must remember to steam this when I get home.

Anyways, I am wearing purple in honor of the Washington Huskies who face off against Marquette this afternoon. I am sneaking off from work a bit early to catch the game. Tip off is at 4:20 today. Here is to hoping the Huskies keep it together for a big win!

Shirt: Anthropologie Tunic Shirt (2008?)

Belt: Anthropologie Leaps and Bounds Belt

Boots: Banana Republic Elois Tall Boot

Pants: Joes Black Knit Chelsea

Headband: Anthropologie (Christmas gift)

OOTD- Lack of Green

I was already out the door and in the car when a radio talk show reminded me that today is St. Patrick's Day!  Oooops! I forgot to wear green! Oh well, good thing I have green eyes.

Dress: Banana Republic (2008)

Sweater: Banana Republic Outlet (2008)

Boots: J Crew Tall Black Boots (sold out online)

Belt: Anthropologie

Necklace: Forever 21

Watch: Tissot from Switzerland (gift)

What's on my wishlist...

Thought I would share with you guys some of the more recent additions to my Anthro wishlist...

1. Two-Wheeler Shirtdress $128 (here)

Oh my goodness! The little bicycles on this bright blue dress are just darling! I can just picture myself wearting this dress in the summer while riding a cruiser by the beach in the sun!  I can't justify $128 for a little cotton dress, so I will wait for sale. This dress has not even hit stores yet, so it won't be anywhere near the sale rack soon... until then I will stalk, swoon, and repeat.

2. Tonal Gingham Dress $138 (here)
I tried this dress on last weekend and fell in love! I really can't spend $138 on a blue dress right now, so I will try and wait for sale. I really don't want to miss out on this dress (Night Blooming Dress, I am still weeping over you). If it looks like it might sell out, I will grab it.







3. That's A Wrap Necklance $228 (here)
Oh pretty little bow necklace, you are so outside my price range I will probably never own you. It won't stop me from swooning over you.

4. Loping Lanes Belt $44 (here)
I have not seen this in stores yet, and it is back ordered online. Boo. I know this cute little belt will get tons of use in my wardrobe. If I see it, I will snatch it.

OOTD

The image quality of this photo is particularly bad, so I had to make the image smaller. Sorry about that. This is another outfit from two weeks ago... I am in a bit of a slump when it comes to putting together great, blog worthy creations. In addition to shitty weather, things have been a little tough at work.

Not to worry... the forecast predicts sun and a warming trend to start tomorrow! That should help spark my creativity.

Top: Anthropologie's Free Flow Tank (here)

Necklace: Anthropologie (2009- Christmas gift)

Pants: Banana Republic Martin Fit Trouser (2007)

Cardigan: Banana Republic Black Cardigan (2008?)

Shoes: Cole Haan Nike Air Black Peep Toes (on sale from the Rack)

And I'm Back...

Sorry for the delay... I had a super busy lazy week.

For several reasons I had a particularly hard time waking up each morning and taking the time to put into pulling together cute outfits. I am confident that my mood can mostly be blamed on the weather. We had been having such lovely, spring like temps much more June than March. Then right around Tuesday winter came back to Seattle. Bleh.

Not to worry people- I remembered to take pictures of my outfits! Not all of them were good, so I will only be posting the best!

Outfit 1. Wednesday
I liked this outfit as I was putting it together, and even as I was wearing it on Wednesday. But now looking back I think it was a little bit dark. If I were to do it over, I would add a pop of color- maybe my poppy colored cardigan. I guess my dark mood caused by the dark, cloudy sky was reflected in my outfit selection.

Dress: Anthropologie by Moulenette Souers (2008?)

Sweater: Gap Dark Purple Cardi

Belt: Stretch Hook Belt in black from Charlotte Russe ($6.50!!!)

Shoes: Seychelles Veronica T-Strap

Outfit 2. Friday

I am not really feeling this outfit. And I was not really feeling it on Friday either. That explains why I did not photograph my head. Please excuse the wrinkles... eeek! I actually like all the parts individually, but together something was off. Sorry I could not be more exact with the item details, they are all older so I don't remember their Anthro names.

Shirt: Anthropologie (2005?)

Belt: Stretch Hook Belt in grey from Charlotte Russe ($6.50!!!)

Skirt: Anthropologie (2007?)

Sweater: Anthropologie (2007?)

Tights: Ann Taylor Loft

Shoes: Steve Madden Mary Janes (2006?)

Outfit. 3 Sometime w/in the last 2 weeks

I did not take a picture of Thursday's outfit so I am subbing in an outfit from sometime within the last week or two. I love love love this skirt! Another purchase from my last trip to New York. I bought it just before it went on sale and sold out. Not to worry, I was able to get my price adjustment when I got home.

Skirt: Anthropologie Scalloped Clouds Skirt

Blouse: Anthropologie (2006?)

Sweater: Anthropologie (2005?)

Shoes: Seychelles Veronica T-Straps

Headband: H&M (gift)

Necklace: Forever 21

That’s is all for now. I am off to bed. Damn Daylight Savings is screwing with my sleep cycle! That and the fact that I am still waiting for the sheets to dry. Grumble. Grumble.
