Fun Anthro Links

There were some fun posts yesterday in the Anthro blogging community that I got to be a part of!

Kim at Anthroholic is celebrating her one year blog birthday and she invited us to participate in a virtual birthday party by sending in pictures in our Anthro party dresses. Check out all the great outfits that her party attendees put together!

Over at Anthrosdottir, Cat asked for ideas for incorporating Anthro into work outfits. There are some cute outfits to check out! Isn't Cat's Aloha dress pretty? Send in your outfit to Cat for the Anthro at Work feature next week!

Here are my outfits from their blogs with the details:

Travessia Anthro Dress
Cardigan: LOFT
Necklace: Anthropologie
Shoes: really old!

Dress & Belt: Anthropologie
Bag: Fossil
Shoes: Lands End

TGIF!

First of all, if you haven't already done so, make sure you head over to Roxy's blog Effortless Anthropologie to enter her big giveaway that ends tonight.

I have no outfit post for today because I'm just wearing an old pair of jean shorts and shirt since I had to run errands in my car with no air conditioning. On top of that inconvenience, my car decided to die in the parking lot of the post office. Fortunately my friend Sara was able to come to my rescue and pick me up. It turned out well because we got to have lunch together and a fun little visit. My husband has to go take care of the car tonight after work and we might be looking into getting me a new (used) car this weekend.

I get to see Sara again on Sunday for a little trip to Anthro. I'm hoping they will have lots of the stuff that I want to review. The things that I want to try most are:
Compeer Dress -- I think this might look cute with the Deco Page Cardigan over it!
Precious Materials Cardigan
Acting Out Skirt
Gardener's Field Book Top
Seasons Way Tee
Marine Mural Dress
Mirror Mirror Tank
Sale Items: Cattleya Cardigan, Bits of Pearl Blouse, Sweet Shoppe Dress

30 for 30 Challenge: Outfit #14

Here's a quick OOTD post!

Shirt: Anthropologie
Tank: Belk
Cardigan: Bealls
Belt: Anthropologie
Skirt: Lands End
Sandals: Target

30 for 30 Challenge: Outfit 13

I wanted to try to wear a few things that I haven't used yet for Kendi's 30 for 30 Challenge so I grabbed this green floral skirt & white cardigan. Pairing the green shirt with it is probably a bit too much green, but it made the outfit more comfortable and casual. I wouldn't normally wear these shoes with this outfit but I only picked 3 pairs of shoes for the challenge and none of them are brown so this was the best I could do. :-)

Shirt:LOFT
Skirt & Belt: Anthropologie
Cardigan: Bealls
Necklace: Maurices
Sandals: Target

Here's a bonus outfit from tonight. I changed into capris to go out for BBQ for dinner with my husband.

Getting Back on Track

Sorry I haven't posted much lately! It always takes me a little while to get back into my routine after I return from a long trip. We had such a good time in San Diego! It's kind of nice to be home again though and sleep in your own bed. And we missed our fur-babies! They are really happy that we're home. :-)

Anyway, after a break for a few days, I'm getting back to Kendi's 30 for 30 Challenge. I didn't get a picture of my outfit during our last day in San Diego (it was pretty boring anyway) and then ever since we got home it has been so HOT and the air conditioner in both of our cars is broken so I've just been wearing old t-shirts and shorts while trying to stay cool. Today I started the challenge again so here is Outfit #12:

Dress: Old Navy
Tank: Belk
Cardigan: Target
Belt: Anthropologie
Sandals: Target

I'm sorry if everyone is getting sick of seeing this cardigan! I do seem to wear it a lot. Today it was a necessity though because I needed to cover up a weird tan line on my upper arms. I got burnt in San Diego and it hasn't faded yet. In fact, I may need to use a self-tanner to even things out until I can go to the beach. Any recommendations on brands to try? I've never used any before.
I'm wearing my new Anthro belt and I think I like this color combo with the coral, turquoise and grey! :-)

Amazing Giveaway!

Check out the very generous giveaway that Roxy at Effortless Anthropologie is doing right now! Go here for details and see how to enter.



P.S. I'm back home from San Diego now so I'm going to catch up on my blog posts and reading/commenting on everyone's blogs soon! :-)

30 for 30 Challenge: Outfits 10 & 11

We've only got a little bit of time left in San Diego! I wish we could stay longer but we have done some fun things during our stay. Wednesday night we saw King Lear at the Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park. It was an excellent performance and the theater was really cool too. I wore this Anthro outfit and it was a great choice for the mild weather. I didn't even need the sweater.

Blouse, Skirt & Belt: Anthropologie
Tights: Forever 21
Shoes: Naturalizer

Yesterday was pretty warm so I threw on a light skirt with a blue tee & sandals.

Shirt: Steve & Barry's
Skirt & Belt: Anthropologie
Sandals: Target
Necklace: Urban Outfitters

Here's a close up of my necklace (the L is for my last name if you were wondering):


Today we're going for a harbor cruise to see the sea lions and then to a Padres game tonight. Happy Friday everyone! :-)
