Anyway, this outfit is from Saturday night! My hubs and I went on a dinner date to a trendy restaurant in our neighborhood and I thought it would be the perfect night to break in the Pinochle Skirt I scored for its second cut price of $19.95. There's something about seeing the two slashed prices with red pen that is ridiculously satisfying. Seeing three slashes is even MORE satisfying. I almost don't want to take the tag off my Marine Mural Dress, I just want to look at the price cuts and smile, but it MUST be worn! It's just too quirky - like me.
Top: Ann Taylor Petites (SUPER old)
Cardi: Anthropologie (thrifted)
Skirt: Anthropologie Pinochle Skirt
Boots: Payless
I look at this outfit and I wonder if it actually worked, but it's off my person now and it doesn't matter. The cardi is one I found at my FAVE consignment shop in the universe, Second Time Around. There are a few around the Boston area, but the one closest to me is in an affluent neighborhood and is in a quiet shopping center, so I ALWAYS score majorly. There are always lots of old Anthro pieces as well as other sweet designer items. I have gotten some gorgeous Karen Millen pieces for a steal. It's ridiculous. Anyway, I saw this little Moth Cardigan hanging out by itself. It's actually a really sweet little piece. You can't see the detail in the photo, but it has two gorgeous buttons in the front and the back has this super duper crosshatch area. I picked it up for a steal (15 bucks I think) and I got another black, beaded Odille Top also.
The pink boatneck top I've had forever and LOVE! It's a regular go-to piece for me and is totally flattering. I figured it would pick up the pink in the skirt. I don't for the life of me, understand why the card print on the skirt is a mirror image. I don't know if it's a mistake or what, but my cards are backwards! It doesn't matter though, because it's still cute. I won't lie though...it's a little snug, so I won't be eating a big meal in this!
Let's hope for another big sale tomorrow!
That skirt haunts me... It went on sale a while back for £29.95 and for some reason I dithered as I've not bought an Anthro skirt before and wasn't sure of the sizing. By the time I decided to bite the bullet it was gone... I called both UK stores as well but nothing *sobbing*
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely in it, I am so jealous you have one :)
I love this skirt, and lol, I have the 0P and it's definitely the most snug Anthro piece I own! I really like how you paired it with the pink. Hope you are feeling much better and I can't wait to see what pieces you try on tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteKay,
