OOTD(s): playing catch up

Yes, I'm still here!  And oh how I've missed you! :)

Things have been super busy around here.  Been hit with a crazy wedding fever planning bug (the good kind, where you get tons and tons done).  Unfortunately hasn't left time for much else!!  That, another busy week at work, and a bit of sickness has left me m.i.a for practically a whole week! AH!

Wanted to leave a quick post to share just a couple outfits from last week! Was running around so quickly I forgot to get pictures of most (or maybe, I didn't feel most were worthy of photographing...)

on to the outfits my pretties!

Wore this number out to dinner last week.  I have to say how much I am loving this belt!  The deuxhill cowlneck tops went on sale today.... Ladies, if you haven't tried on one of these, you're missing out.  They're amazing!!
Anthro Deuxhill Cowlneck
J Crew Jackie Cardigan
Anthro Bow Tied Beauty Belt
Nordstrom Rising Starlet Skinnies
Steve Madden Boots




And outfit number 2!! Worn out on double date night for bowling with my best friend and her hunny.  Had the most fun!!




J Crew Jackie Cardigan
Ann Taylor Zipper Tee
Dillards Skirt
Macys Belt
Steve Madden Boots
Ruche Double Dove Necklace

I have a little confession to make... this Apothecary Skirt from Anthropologie has been on my wish list since long before Christmas.  I've loved it for so long.  I've seen so many combinations in my head of what I could pair it with.  I've watched for weeks and weeks as Anthro kept it at it's price point of $128... sigh.  Until Lisa posted a link of this pretty little skirt at Dillards for less than half the price.  Are you kidding?! Dillards?! Ok, yes, I'm an Anthro devotee, but we all deserve a break sometimes.  So, I reluctantly pulled out my card and turned my back on my beloved... just for one afternoon.

Do you all hate me for it?!

  1. Love your dove/pearl necklace! I just went to the Ruche website to see if they still had any but they are all sold out :( Hopefully they will be restocked and then we can be matching!

    Your outfits are too cute & your hair is so pretty! :)

  3. Your first outfit makes me wished I had tried on a deuxhill cowlneck! I completely understand why you went to Dillards, I actually do something similar with Anthro shoes all the times. Most of the brands anthro carries seem to go on sale other places first, so I tend to get inspired at anthro but then get my shoes at 6pm.com

  4. Hey little lady! :) I just got your giftcard in the mail! I can't wait to use it! The loved the cute card as well and would love to do some sort of collaboration with you! Oh how your outfits are so adorable this week! I love it. You're so adorable. I hope you are feeling better and enjoy the rest of your week! ;)

  5. I also ordered the skirt from Dillards (and it was on my Anthro wish list for-ev-er). As much as I LOVE Anthro, they should realize that they'll lose business over such a dramatic price difference.

  9. I love the way you paired a button-down cardigan with the skinny belt, so cute! Usually I only belt open-front cardis, but this has me reconsidering that policy. Also, that dove necklace is adorable!

  11. I love the colors of your cardigans. I bought that cardigan (the orange one) but haven't worn it yet because I'm doing the kendi remix. I can't wait. FYI: it's looks great on you. Very classic and young.

  13. What size of the skirt did you get? I'm normally a 0 in a lot of Anthro skirts but someone has a 2 I might buy and I'm wondering if I could get away with that size.. Please let me know if input. Thanks :)

  14. Allison sorry it took me so long to get back to you! Was out of town for a long weekend. Hopefully you see still get to see this!

    I got a 0 in the skirt, what I always wear. I wouldn't necessarily think that sizing up would be the best idea with this skirt... it has a stretchy waist band. But if you've ever worn a 2 in an Anthro skirt, I'd say give it a try for sure!
