OOTD: I fell out of the September Catalog

Happy Veterans Day, Ladies! I hope you are enjoying the holiday! I want to give a shout out to all those who have fought for our freedom here in the US. As a military brat, I have a special place in my heart for those who go off to defend this country. Thank you for your service! I salute you!

Do you ever find yourself in an outfit that was featured in the Anthro Catalog? I did last night. The Shawl Collar Sweatercoat has been in my regular rotation since taking it home and I broke out my Southward Stop Shirtdress last night for rehearsal. Behold!




Dress: Anthropologie Southward Stop Shirtdress $128 (seems to be sold out!)
Belt: Anthropologie Fastened and Knotted Belt ($19.95)
Boots: Payless $30!

I fell in love with this dress all over again last night. I'm so glad I nabbed it when I did in August, because I think it's just super. The thin wale cord is really nice because you can layer it with something underneath if you want and it's light enough for warmer weather. Plus, I love the stupid birds and deer that are on it!!! I can't help it, the pattern is so cute and what initially sold me on the dress.

I need to go on a spending moratoriam as my November clothing budget is done as of this morning. I saw online that the Stretching Sprigs Cardigan had popped back in xs and I jumped on it like a hawk on a squirrel. I'm not an online Anthro shopper (without the free shipping anyway), but I have been watching that cardi for ages and I popped it into my cart and pressed confirm before you could blink. Then I noticed that it was the last one! So...there's a small part of me that thinks my order may or may not be getting canceled. I suppose we'll see if in fact I get the last cardi or if it was a fluke. In other news, my Marine Mural Dress arrived yesterday and I could NOT be happier. It's perfect and I cannot wait to have a reason (or some weather) to wear it! Come on Summer!!!!!!!

OOTD: Catmint

Have you ladies been on the Anthro website today?! The outfit tours with video are UH-MAZING! I was falling in love, especially with this hat. My jaw just about dropped on the floor when I saw the price. Sadly, this hat would have to be on sale and get a second cut before it ever got into my hot little hands. Sigh.
Anyway, I had a LONG day today. I had my first physical therapy session and I'm hoping that it will help me heal faster from my car accident. I have been in physical therapy two other times: both were for horseback riding injuries. So, I know how PT works...if you don't do what they tell you to do, it will not do any good for you. I am dying to get back to a normal exercise and yoga routine.

Tuesdays, are an Anthro day! When I was on my way to the studio today, a lady at the bus stop was enamored with my outfit. She was so cute! She told me I looked just like a fashion model! Totally not true, but it was adorable and it made me feel good. A win for Anthro for sure!

My Catmint Dress hadn't seen much attention since I wore it in Vancouver a couple of months ago and it transitioned nicely into fall. It wasn't a favorite dress in the blogsphere, but I adore it. It's one of the most comfortable Maeve dresses I own and the pattern is to die for. The tie that came with it is pretty boring, so pizazzing it up with a belt is a must!

I hope everyone is having a good Tuesday back at work!
