Baby, it's cold outside! OOTD

Hello, readers! Well...I certainly wasn't expecting this Anthro sale! 25% off all sale merchandise!? Huzzah! I decided to give myself a little pre-Christmas treat! (Probably shouldn't have, but who can resist?!) I picked up the In The Trees Skirt (current sale price, $79.95, no longer available online, call customer service, as there are still plenty in stores) and the Kissing Friday Dress in Orange after seeing it look so adorable on Carol. It is a killer when after suddenly, seeing a piece on someone else makes you want it so bad. When I tried it on...it was amazing. Really flattering on and the orange color is to die for.  With the extra 25% off...the price was much more palatable. I've been admiring the In The Trees Skirt forever and waiting for a second cut, but the extra % off, is nearly akin to a second cut for me, so I snagged it. The particular skirt I picked up yesterday seems to fit a little better than the one I tried on in another store, which makes me feel better about it. It looks so awesome with boots and for some reason, I have a weakness for things with birdies on them. It's a very "me" piece. The bad news is...now with Christmas shopping and extra shopping for me, I'm broke for a couple of weeks, LOL. I try to pay my Visa bill off whenever I get an opportunity, so most of my recent paycheck when straight to Visa. So...unless I get an Anthro giftcard for Christmas, these will be my last two pieces for 2010. Not bad, if I say so myself!

Today's OOTD was inspired by the cold. Baby...when I left the house this morning at quarter to five, it was 15ºF.  After my first job, I had to change into music teaching and shopping clothes and I wanted to look pretty, but also be warm.  So...the Refined Cord Shirtdress came out. I heart this dress so much as I've probably worn it 7 times already. I do NOT regret for one second paying full price for this beauty. When it's cold as it is in New England...you need to be warm while you're looking cute.

Dress: Anthropologie Refined Cord Shirtdress ($128)

Undershirt: Wintersilks (gifted from my grandpa! He was always so practical :)

Tights: Anthropologie Foxy Tights (hidden from view kind of, $28)

Boots: Payless $30, over H&M legwarmers...ancient

So, I'm done ALL of my Christmas shopping and I have wrapped every gift. Whenever something arrived, I would just wrap it. Amazing. I can't believe I'm coasting into Christmas like this, it's fantastic. Now, we just have the LONG drive to Washington D.C. Friday, because we will be spending the Holiday with my parents this year which I'm thrilled about. I'll try to make the trip fun, but let's face it...7 hours on I-95 is no picnic...

Happy Saturday everyone :)
