Swan Lake








What I wore:
anthropologie Leifsdottir Museum-of-Modern-Birds sweater dress
black Hue tights
anthropologie Cherry Picked Boots
black/white J.Crew (outlet) herringbone coat
black New York & Company Bow Tote

Ok, seriously, I know. Another bird item??? To be honest swans (in real life) terrify me. Everytime I see them I shudder, they are creepy! But in illustrated form, they are pretty beautiful. I bought both of these items while I was working at anthropologie last fall! I wanted this dress so, so bad but of course since it was Leifsdottir it was still super pricey, even with my discount. So finally I waited and it went on sale! Made me a very happy girl. These boots were also a steal since I bought them during their big boot sale last year. I think they add a nice pop to my black and white coat! I love this coat, my mother and sister scored it for me a few years ago at a Black Friday sale at the outlets, and I adore it.

How is everyone's Christmas shopping going? I am almost done with my list!! Trying really hard not to be such a last minute shopper this year. And also trying not to shop for myself!!!!

  1. I am seriously dying of jealousy here. Your anthro pieces are sending pangs of missed connections to my heart. Your boots are beautiful against the black and white. I want them. What size shoes are you? I may have to raid your closet.

  4. Almost everyone else who worked at my Anthro store last year got those boots and I was the lone one who didn't. I love them, though! They look awesome with that dress !

  8. Another great outfit--and that is pretty funny with you and the bird items. I found a random Leifsdottir denim skirt on the sale rack (nowhere to be found online anywhere) and it fits me perfectly (which is bad because now I want to buy more Leifsdottir stuff).

  11. i love the swans on that dress!! they're adorable. one can never have too many bird items. and i am LOL that you're afraid of swans in real life- they always look so serene and friendly. though i've never gotten up close- who knows, they may be harboring sharp teeth in those beaks :) ~joelle
