And There It Was....

Like many of you I love to stop by Blair's blog, Atlantic Pacific, to see what cute ensemble she has come up with.  One of the outfits that she wore at the beginning of the year, here, stuck out in my mind.  I loved the print but when I looked at the brand I immediately knew it wasn't in my budget.  Well, fast forward to Labor Day weekend and I am doing my usual walk through the mall when I found myself in Ann Taylor.  I never go in this store because its usually a bit too dressy for my everyday style, but this time it was different.  On the front table I saw a small collection of what was seemingly the exact same print that I loved almost 6 months ago but at a fraction of the price.  Check them out!

 

 

 

Lady in Blue.....

This dress was a gamble, it was one of those styles that wasn't the cutest on the hanger but once it was on it just worked.  Its perfect in its simplicity and the little braid detail on the waist seam is just enough to take this dress up a notch.  The royal blue color with one of my favorite pair of J Crew pumps served as the outfit of the day this past Sunday.

One Dress 3 Ways....

Don't you love a piece that you can wear multiple ways?  Its like getting more for your money and we all love a good deal.  The versatility of this dress is one of the main reasons I bought it. While I don't own very many convertible pieces this one is probably one of my favorites.  Here is my dress 3 ways.....

BOLD...

This dress was one of those random finds on SUPER sale at one of the many Macy's Red Apple Sale weekends.  I, like many of you don't often find too much when I visit a department store but the bold color combo on the skirt of this dress was so eye catching I couldn't leave without it.  Happy Hump Day!!!

Making It Work...

HIIIIIII, everyone!!!  I have missed you all so much.  I know you are probably wondering where I have been and for those of you that follow me on instagram you already know but if not I was in Hong Kong and China for 2 weeks working.  It was one of the best experiences that I have had to date and if any of you ever have the chance to visit Hong Kong you should go. Its such a wonderful and special place.  I have an outfit for you all.....YAY!!  I found what was supposed to be a tunic at Anthro a few weeks ago.   I loved the print and when I grabbed it off the rack I realized it was a size large.  I decided to try it on anyway knowing that it would be too big but it ended up working as a dress instead.  I wore it with heels this time but it can easily be dressed down even more with a pair of sandals and denim jacket in the early Fall.  I hope you all had a great week and enjoy an even better weekend!!

Style Tip:  Find something that you love but its not your size.  Try it anyway, it could work as a dress like I did below or as a "boyfriend" style.  Just use your imagination and make it work.

A Little Leather....

Hi EVERYONE!!!!  I feel like its been forever since I last added a new post.  My work life has been super busy but I am doing what I love so its all worth it, however blogging has taken a back seat and I hope to return to a more consistent posting schedule very soon.  I wore this outfit on my birthday, it was just dressy enough for me to celebrate.  This shirt is a new summer sale purchase and I picked it up because like many of the things I buy it had a cute unique detail that made it different.  For this particular style is was the leather like sleeves.   I hope you are all having a great week so far.

When Sale Goes on Sale....

Life has been so crazy these past couple of weeks.  I have had outfit pictures held hostage on my camera and I promise that I will post them soon.  I got a new position at work which has required a lot more of my time than my previous position, so while I am excited to be doing something brand new I have not had time to update my blog as much as I would like too.  With that said, you all know that one of my favorite stores is Anthropologie. So when I got an email this morning that all the sale went on sale, everything is an additional 20% off, I was so excited.  I found a couple of necklaces that were on sale from another one of my favorites Pam Hiran, who is the same designer as the necklace that I wore in this post.  There is tons of great stuff, so shop early ladies.
