Wonderful Wednesday

Thanks to everyone who said nice things about my Valentine's Post yesterday :) Wednesday is so great it deserves two O'sOTD! Yesterday was the first day of my outreach job. I go out to area elementary schools and teach kids about music and over a 10 week period or so, have a couple of small groups of kids work on their own compositions (songs). They teach the song to their classmates and then they give a giant performance at the end of the year. Not that I'm the greatest composer on the Earth, but I can teach a 4th grader, the basics :)

When I was playing dress up in my closet on Tuesday night, I thought that the Pinochle Skirt and the Stretching Sprigs Cardi were great together! I was very colorful, but I thought this was a really fun outfit.

Cardi: Anthropologie Stretching Sprigs Cardigan
Skirt: Anthropologie Pinochle Skirt
Top: Anthropologie Scalinata Top
Belt: Anthropologie High Prairie Belt

Of course...after this was over, I got to go home and take a nap and putz around before rehearsal...so here's the second OOTD: I couldn't resist...

Dress: Anthropologie Color-Dipped Dress
Cardi: Anthropologie Cherry Cardi (don't know the name, thrifted!)
Shoes: Bare Traps

Tuesday morning after I got off from work, I basically RAN to Anthro and picked this up for the new 2nd cut price of $49.95. I was stalking this one like a hawk and when the price dropped, I pounced like a lioness on a gazelle. I'm so glad I was patient! This dress was sitting in my closet taunting me, so I decided to wear it to rehearsal. This dress is SOOOOOO fun to wear! There were a lot of negative reviews about the belt it comes with...but I actually think it's cute and works well with the dress. This dress is a dream...if you find one...buy it. It's DIRT cheap, EXTREMELY well-made and cutey McCuterson.

I cannot stop thinking about the Botany Book Dress, so I'm going to try it on tomorrow after work. I am looking forward to doing some great reviews for you!

  1. I love both outfits -but I am crazy over the first one!! So cute! What a cool job you have- my kids would love that class!

  2. I'm so tempted to get the color dipped dress at $50. Is the fit TTS? or is it on the small size? All the reviews say to size up.

  3. The colour-dipped dress looks so lovely on you Kay, and what a bargain at $50 - that's how much some dresses go for @ full price in Target. I can see that it fits you perfectly!

  4. Peggy: Thanks! I thought it would be a fun time to wear that skirt. I think my job is super fun (most of the time.) I ran into the kids I taught last year in the hallway and they were so much bigger!!

    Diem: It fits ME TTS, so I am tempted to say the bodice portion runs small. Runs small means TTS for me because I'm a Lilliputian.

    Jen: I am so glad I waited. I could NOT stop thinking about it and every day, I would click on my wishlist and see that it was still there. I could hear myself saying " second cut...second cut..." LOL
