OOTD: If the shoe fits... You keep em!

Happy Tuesday Readers!

Today I actually have for you my legitimate OOTD. Yup, I managed to take a photo of my outfit and post on the same day! Star for me!

Today's outfit features a nice little surprise. I longed after the Small Doses Heels ever since they hit the website. But I did what I always do (and then swear to never do again) and I waited too long and they sold out in my size. Sigh. But then the went on sale last week, and they still had some lingering around in a half size larger than my size so I decided to try them out. And what do you know, they fit! That never happens! And they are comfy to boot! (Ignore the online reviews).



Shoes: Small Doses Heeel, 5 1/2 (2010, $90 on sale)

Skirt: Unknown Anthro Skirt Just Right Skirt, 6 (2010, $60 on sale)

Shirt: Anthro Drenched Helenium Tee, M (2009, $30 via EA Trademarket)

Cardigan: United Colors of Benetton, Navy S (2005)

Have a good night! I am off to watch the Huskies play ball (basketball, that is).



A Guest OOTD!

Hello Readers.  I would like to apologize for being so delinquent with the blog posts lately.  I have been consumed by entirely too much food for approximately the last five days....ugg.  I went to hot yoga on Saturday and I am confident that I was sweating out pie and cookies (too much information...sorry).  


Anyway, my younger sister, Kara, who is a freshmen in college is quite the fashionista.  Although our styles are completely different I am constantly in admiration and appreciation of her bold, brave, creative and interesting sense of style.  She sent me her outfit today, thinking it may be blog worthy and here it is, dorm room and all!

American Apparel tube dress (Shade:asphalt)

thrifted floral skirt

 tye-dye leggings

revlon retro collection lipstick (Shade:siren), 

Georg Jensen pendent

Urban Outfitters buggie necklace

Have a Lovely week and thank you Kara for the OOTD!!

OOTD: Harry Potter Office Chic (???)

Happy Monday Readers!

As promised here is my Harry Potter outfit from last Thursday. G and I attended the Imax Midnight Premier last Thursday (yawn... sorry I am still catching up on sleep). Here is what I wore during the day to get in the Harry Potter spirit. 

Unfortunately, I was unable to take the day off (such is life), so I had to make my outfit "office appropriate." I decided to go with the obvious choice and dress around Gryffindor house colors- red and gold. I then added Harry Potter-esque accessories to have some fun. I even wore my hair wavy and uncombed a la Hermione!    

Cardigan: Urban Outfitters Mustard Yellow Cardi, M (2010, $38)

T Shirt: Nordtrom Halogen Red Crew Neck Long Sleeve T-Shirt, S (2009, $38)

Skirt: Anthro ???, S (2010, $88)

Tights: Anthro Hue Red Tights, S/M (2009, $9.99 on sale)

Shoes: Steve Madden Black Mary Janes, 5 (2006, xmas gift)

Ring: Vintage Inspired Owl Ring, Seattle Capitol Hill Boutique (2010, $12)

Necklace: Anthro "Golden Snitch" Necklace (2009, $9.99 on super sale)

Grete has all of the pictures from the premier so stay tuned for a second post covering G's outfit and details about our night out.

Cheers!

Oh, and Seattle is experience a bit of a snow storm right now- so stay warm and drive safe people!

OOTD: Spotty Dotty

Weekend Adventure (wait...it's already wednesday?) and an OOTD

This weekend J and I had a lovely Saturday afternoon together.  We were sitting at my house chatting and tormenting my pup and I told J that I had a confession...I wanted to go to Bellevue to go to Anthro because I had seen photos of the store on other blogs and it looked more adorable than the average Anthropologie.  Bellevue is not somewhere I typically venture to, in typical "true Seattle" elitiest fashion I think Bellevue, a city which is merely across a mile long bridge over Lake Washington, is not actually considered Seattle and therefore I do not like to visit. Anyway, I got over my bad feelings and we ventured out.  I was right in my estimations that the Anthropologie was adorable.  It had tons of stuff and was arranged in a really cozy and intimate way so I would suggest making a visit if you are in Seattle!  We came across some great finds and J also found her soulmate in chair form. She sat in it for entirely too long, I think the sales associate was genuinely afraid that we may try to stuff it into our purses or something :)

And, here is my OOTD.  I got a great deal on these tops over the weekend.  I couldn't decide if this sweater was actually ugly or surprisingly cute.  I have a strange pattern of being drawn to such questionable items.  I decided, with J's help, that it was actually cute ??!!

And here is a photo of Maple...because I'm slightly obsessed.  Enjoy the remainder of the week.  J and I and her friend Pam are going to watch Harry Potter at midnight tomorrow.  We'll be sitting next to fully costumed 12 year olds and loving every minute of it!!

OOTD and a Lesson in Layering

Today I am working from home and kicking it in stretchy pants (that I may or may not have slept in last night), so I won't be posting today's outfit. BUT, lucky for you I snapped a photo of Wednesday's outfit.

I bought this dress only because it went on sale. I was not particularly enamoured with either this color, or the other "neon salmon" color. But you know, I saw it go on sale, and everyone else was buying one, so I jumped on the Tiny Windows bandwagon. I actually bought this ages ago (it has since received a second price cut) and it has been sitting in my closet ever since. I kept meaning to return it, but something always held me back.

On Wednesday I had one of those "I have nothing to wear" moments that only something with the tags still attached could cure. So this dress finally got a chance to prove that she was worth keeping around. I think she made her point quite well, don't you think?

 Dress: Anthro Tiny Windows Dress, Lilac 4 2010 ($60 on sale)

Belt: Anthro Three Beacon's Belt (aka Magical Belt), Dark Brown S 2010 ($34, buy here)

Tights: Anthro Berry Bush Tights, Purple S 2009 ($18)

Shoes: Seychelles Veronica T-Strap, Black Multi 6 2010 ($90)

Scarf: ???

And now this message will be interrupted for a brief lesson in layering (umm, ok maybe not a lesson cause its not like I have any special knowledge on the subject, but this is just how I layered that day):
Step 1: Add light layer to survive low office temps:

Cardigan: Anthro Roaming Frills Cardi, Beige S 2010 ($40 on sale)

Step 2: Add Layer # 2 to survive the very cold climate that totally crept up on me... where did our Fall go? OK, so it did come back on Thursday. But Wednesday was so very cold!

Coat: United Colors of Benetton, XS 2003 ($178ish)

And now back to our normal programing...

Oh, and this is only the second time I have worn these tights. I bought both colors (purple and black) last year and I am terrified of getting a run in them! So I have been keeping them tucked safely away in my tight drawer in individual plastic protection baggies like a crazy person. The black tights haven't even been touched yet! If one of the beagles even so much as glances at them the wrong way, so help me.... Anyone else out there a little crazy about their tights?

I hope everyone has a great weekend! I will be spending Saturday practicing my "dance" moves ala my new Kinect game Dance Central in preparation for a bachelorette party on Saturday.
