PINK!

It's time for me to buy some pink stuff because we're having a GIRL! Looks like I'll get to have a future Anthro-fan and shopping buddy. :-)

OOTD: Neutrals

Happy Friday! I'm extra excited to see the end of this week because it means I only have to wait a few more days until I get to have a sonogram to find out if we're having a boy or girl. Can't wait!! :-)

Here's my outfit today, which is a mix of different neutrals: beige, cream, grey, and a little pink. I'm also wearing some new shoes! Even though it's a bit warm outside, I couldn't resist wearing my Tria skirt (especially after seeing Kathryn's and Sara's cute outfits with the skirt recently).

Roaming Frills Cardigan (Anthropologie)
Pink Sleeveless Sweater (LOFT)
Initial Necklace (Urban Outfitters)
Gift Bow Belt (Anthropologie)
Tria Sweater Skirt (Anthropologie)
Beige Sandals (Target)

I blogged about these shoes last month at the end of this post and bought them a few days later but I'm just now getting around to wearing them. I've only had them on for a few hours but they are pretty comfortable (I might add a cushiony insole though). They seem fairly true to size. My heel is really narrow though so I always have trouble with shoes slipping up and down when I walk and these slipped a bit when I was walking down a flight of stairs. The color I'm wearing is light beige, almost nude color but for some reason they look yellowish in the picture below. They also come in black. These look very similar to the Seychelles "Cream of the Crop" sandals and at just 17.99, they're a great deal!

OOTD x 2: Crazy Weather

The weather has been going back and forth between warm and cool lately. So, just when I thought it was officially sandal time, I had to switch gears yesterday and pull out some tights again. Today it's back to warm. Go figure!

Yesterday's outfit:

Grey Dress (Old Navy)
White Tank (Belk)
Grey Cardigan (Anthropologie)
Purple Belt (Anthropologie)
Purple Tights (Old Navy)
Grey Wedges (Target)
Green Necklace (really old, from Express, I think)

One of my warmer weather outfits:

White Cardigan (Bealls)
Navy Sundress (Bealls, recent gift from mom)
Kiwi Bird Necklace (gift from MIL)
Silver Sandals (Target)

OOTD x 2 & Weekend in Tampa

It was a warm weekend here in Florida so I packed sandals and light dresses. Here's what I wore to the Rays Fan Fest event.

Jacqueline Dress (Anthropologie)
Turquoise Cardigan (Target)
White Belt (Bealls)
Silver Sandals (Target)

On Sunday we stopped at Anthropologie before heading home (see my reviews in yesterday's post).

Black Dress (Ann Taylor Outlet)
Coral Belt (Anthropologie)
Black Sandals (Target)

Here are some pictures from the Fan Fest on Saturday. There was a big sale with jerseys, hats, and all sorts of memorabilia. This is my husband with his loot:


There were tons of people there! It was fun getting to walk around on the field.


On Saturday night we drove around downtown and stopped at the beautiful campus of the University of Tampa, which is right on the river. It's tough to get good pictures at night, but this gives you an idea of how pretty the building is with the silver minarets all lit up. The building was originally the Tampa Bay Hotel in the 1890's. This place is really special to us because it's where my husband proposed to me seven years ago. We'll be celebrating our anniversary next month.



This is a cool park on the grounds between the river (with the skyscrapers in the background) and the building.

Tampa Anthro Reviews (Dresses & Skirts) + Some Old Navy Deals

While we were in Tampa this weekend for the Rays (baseball) Fan Fest, I got to stop by Anthropologie. I'll post the rest of our pictures from the weekend tomorrow but tonight I have some reviews! :-)

I didn't even notice these Tabitha skirts online but they caught my eye in the store. I liked the color and fit of the navy Shaded Glory Skirt a lot, although I would probably hem it just a smidge. The Eastpointe Garden Top looked pretty with the skirt, although I don't think the color really works on me. Tucked in, it almost looks like a dress, doesn't it?



I also randomly grabbed the Wind Smocked Henley to try on with the skirt and it actually made a cute combo. I really love this shirt, especially in the purple! I will probably pick it up on sale in this color and the blue (and maybe the grey too!). I'm wearing the small here which fit well but I'd probably go up a size to accommodate the growing baby bump. :-)


I love the purple color of the Runny Yoke Skirt but the pleats on this one just didn't work for me. It looked a bit strange around the hips too. This skirt seemed a little shorter than the Shaded Glory Skirt above and was a little tighter.



The Miss Swiss Corset Dress looks awful on me but it really is an adorable dress and I'm sure it will look good on others. I sized up and it was still pretty snug so I'd say this one might run a bit small. The stripes were not flattering on me at all but the ruffles at the hem are super cute.



The Sunny Soiree Dress looked lovely on the hanger but I didn't like it once I got it on. The neckline is too high for me and I felt like it was strangling me. The top white part was very see-through so I guess you'd have to wear a slip or cami underneath. The pattern on the skirt was really cute though.



I was also hoping to find these three dresses to try on but they were nowhere to be seen. :-(

Pezza Dress: I can't wait until this arrives at my store because the color is beautiful and it looks stretchy & comfortable. It reminds me of the Vagabond dress but more summery. Check out Jacquelyn's review here -- she didn't like it but I think it looks great on her!


In An Instant Dress:


Windsor Knot Dress -- Has anyone seen this in stores yet??


I didn't buy anything at Anthro but I did pick up a few things at Old Navy that were on sale. I found this cute ruffled tank for 11.99 (it's more online for some reason but still on sale). It reminds me a bit of Anthro's Insouciant Tank from last year. I got it in this nice grey-blue color but it also comes in white, pink, and purple.


I also got a cute pair of grey tights for 4.99 and a purple maternity t-shirt for 10.00. FYI: The cool purple tights I wore here are also on sale for 4.99 but I don't see them online so check your stores.

Did anyone else do any shopping this weekend? Find any good deals?

OOTD: Cabaret

My mom and I had a great time at the musical Cabaret last night. It was a really fantastic performance! Here's what I wore:

Grey Dress (Belk)
Purple Cardigan (LOFT)
Initial Necklace (Urban Outfitters)
Purple Ribbon Belt (from another dress)
Purple Tights (Old Navy)
Hallowed Halls Oxfords (Anthropologie)

I love these new purple tights from Old Navy and I'm glad I wore them yesterday because today it is MUCH warmer and I had no desire to pull out any tights or long sleeve sweaters.



Is anyone else doing something fun this weekend and planning to enjoy the warmer weather??

OOTD: Experimental

This was yesterday's outfit and it was a bit of an experiment beyond my usual color pairings. At first I thought the red and maroon clashed but then decided I kind of liked it. I've been wearing these shoes a lot more lately and can't get over how comfortable they are. In fact, I think I'm going to wear them again today with purple tights. :-)

It's already getting significantly warmer here in north Florida so I'm trying to enjoy my tights while I still can. Pretty soon it will be time to break out the sandals again. If you're a tights fan, check out the recent "Tights Week" posts at Academichic to get some good ideas about layering tights and fun ways to incorporate patterned and colored tights into your wardrobe. Those girls definitely know how to rock the tights!

Long-sleeve Grey Shirt (Target)
Maroon Cardigan (Ann Taylor)

I can't wait until tonight because I'm going to see the musical Cabaret at the local community theater! It's going to be a late but fun night! :-)
