OOTD: Pinochle Anyone?

Hi Ladies! I've been away for a few days! I have been so crazy and a bit under the weather, but I'm back in full-force! It's Monday night!!! Do you guys think there will be an Anthro Sale tomorrow!? I'm going to sweat it out at Effortless Anthropologie (Roxy's Sale Guessing Game!) to see what the lowdown is! Monday nights sale speculation is always fun, even if I don't necessarily want anything. Plus, I'm on a shopping ban until Christmas. I'm hoping to get to Anthro tomorrow to go and try on some new arrivals and hopefully not buy anything.

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!

  1. 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*
    You look lovely in it, I am so jealous you have one :)

  2. 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!

  3. Kay,

    You definately have the corner on PINK. Awesome Anthro finds. I love the whole layered skirt.

    That is the Looking Back Cardi from the Nov 2008 Catalog.
