Sunday Shopping & A Clothing Challenge for Next Week

I had so much fun today shopping at Anthropologie with my old friend Sara (click on her name and check out her blog that she just recently re-started). I finally got to try on the Tiny Windows Dress in lavender! It might not be the best color on me but I don't care, I love it. I think it looks good with a belt (I had my brown Snakebite so I tried that with it) and I would wear some kind of a brighter colored necklace to bring some color up by my face. I thought this dress was just beautiful from the color, to the fabric with the little swiss dots, to the details on the sleeves and the length was good. It just really needs to be ironed! ;-) I didn't get it yet but it's definitely way up there on my wishlist.
While at Anthropologie, Sara & I were also working on a fun little project for a guest post on Roxy's blog Effortless Anthropologie. More coming on that in a few days!

And here's my (not very exciting) outfit of the day.

I wanted to wear this black skirt one more time before participating in Already Pretty's "SUMMER BLACK-OUT 2010" Challenge. She's doing it all summer but I'm just going to do the black-free week, starting tomorrow, Monday, June 7, until Monday, June 14. Her rules are that participants are not allowed to wear black clothes, including black pants, black skirts, black dresses, black shirts, & black sweaters (black shoes & accessories are OK). I think this will be a great challenge because I know I tend to rely too much on black and need to experiment with colors more often. Anyone else want to participate too?
