haven't had a dream in a long time


What I'm wearing:
*anthropologie Ruffle Cardigan in Mustard
*LOFT Flutter Neck Shell in Clear Blue
*anthropologie Echolocation Skirt
*anthropologie Snakebite Belt in Grey
*Target Katherine Engineer Boots in Brown

I hate how after the holidays you see old Christmas trees thrown to the curb, waiting to be collected. I was a little sad that I didn't have a tree in my apartment this year, and to see these sad trees made me a bit sad too. Oh well, there is always next year!

The cool blue shade of this Flutter Neck Shell is what caught my eye in the store. I love the print and ruffles of course. I had to take a pair of scissors to snip off the ribbon ties that hung in the front of this top, but now it is exactly as I like it. It's a light cotton material that will be perfect for the summer, but it can still be worn now layered with a cardigan. I love it when I buy something new and can wear it right away, even if it is a spring item.

Even though I did let myself get a few new items for spring this weekend, I'm still trying to get a lot of wear out of items that were already in my closet. Both the mustard ruffle cardigan and the tiered skirt are from anthropologie Fall 2008, and I got the boots about a year ago from Target.

Yes, I'm looking at you!

Love this print.


Back at work today! At least it's a 4-day week... I have some fun outfits planned for this upcoming week! I'm determined to show improvement in all parts of my life, whether it be my job or the effort I put into what I wear, and this little blog of mine. I'm looking forward to what else 2011 will bring me.

  5. This is so lovely and floaty! The skirt looks absolutely filmy and cloud-like. I love the bright pop of yellow, too. I am absolutely with you on that feeling of sadness at seeing discarded Christmas trees. I've seen a few just thrown by the dumpster and they're always brown. The ones that absolutely get to me though are the ones that still have traces of tinsel on them! I am such a sap.

  7. I love how feminine this look is - the soft draping of the skirt, the pretty print, the ruffled trim. Lovely!
