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!

Sweater: Anthropologie Shawl Collar Sweatercoat ($79.95)

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 and some Reviews!

Good Evening, Ladies! It's Monday evening and you know what that means! Possible sale day tomorrow! I didn't grab any sale items last week, (no new ones anyway. I did happen to score a Red Delicious Blouse!) but I'm hoping/not hoping (my wallet!) that something from my wishlist hits the sale rack tomorrow.

Anyway...I had an audition this evening and I decided that my brand new Southward Stop dress should come out for it!! I prepared two lovely English Art songs (Vaughan-Williams and Purcell), so the dress was totally the right spirit. I didn't sing as well as I thought I could have, but we'll see what happens when the concert is cast. I could really use the money and who doesn't want to do a concert?!

Anthro: Southward Stop Dress, $128 Maeve (not online yet)
Anthro: Checkerboard Belt $38 (Buy Here)
JCrew: Jackie Cardi in yellow
Payless Peeptoe flats

So, I have some quickie reviews for you.

Dreamy Drape Dress aka Speckled Ink Dress: $158 Tracy Reese in xs petite
Ok...honestly, I am in love with this dress and this is my second time trying it on. I think I like it so much because it drapes so nice and would work so well as a casual concert dress. The dress fits TTS for me, and the xs petite is JUST PERFECT. I really need this dress in my life. It seems a bit pricey for jersey, but it's NICE. Wishlisted!

Claude's Retreat Tank $78 (currently out of stock online), xs
OK, this top is awesome! It reminds me of the Hidden Hummingbird Tank. It fits TTS and is just really gorgeous. It may even fit BETTER than the Hidden Hummingbird Tank does. It's just beautiful and if it goes on sale, it's MINE.

Well, that's all I've got for you tonight!
