Email: Outfits, in neutral

Anthropologie sent us an email about their new outfit set. I can’t lie, my first thought yesterday when I poked through was “bland, bland, bland, bland.” I have been wondering more and more lately if J.Crew went to bed one night and woke up as Anthropologie, and vice versa. Mixing neutrals? A slightly tailored and dare I say preppy vibe…

RECENT PURCHASES I ♥

Outfits: Enlightenment (warmth + glitz)

I am loving the layered outfit set Anthropologie has presented for December. The model they used is stunning too — I especially love her hair. I picked out a few of my favorite looks to dissect. You can see the complete set here. This first outfit above intrigues me because I am both scared of and drawn to the Fargyle…

CURRENT CRAVINGS

Email + Outfits: Tour our snow house

Anthropologie really wanted us to know about their new outfit set. Not only did they email both my registered addresses, they also emailed their anthro members. No arm-twisting needed for me — I noticed the new set yesterday morning and it’s full of gorgeous styling ideas. As Anthropologie shared in their most recent anthro: in our own words newsletter the…

OOTD: Thank you J.Crew!!!

I bought my first J.Crew item in 1995 — it was a heather grey merino v-neck wool sweater that I had until 2004. I can still remember that it cost $65 on sale (at the time the most I’d ever spent on a piece of clothing) and that I was deathly afraid of ruining it. Eventually it succumbed to a…

OOTD: Joie de vivre

It’s been a few weeks now but I have to admit I’m still perplexed by all the Anthropologie hate cynics were spewing during their “Man Shops Globe” reviews. (You can read the venom synopses in this post if you so desire.) “Anthropologie is naming your kid Emma.” Hmmph. First of all, if I have children they’re going to be boys.…

OOTD: I can keep it!

I am about to embark on a new budget. The goal is to pay down all my debt…well, it’s going to take awhile. But to keep myself from going crazy in can’t-buy-this-or-that hell I’ve also allowed myself a small spending budget. My criteria for keeping clothing items is pretty simple: I have to be able to think of three ways…

IRL Outfit Options: Diaphanous Tunic

It took me awhile to warm up to the Diaphanous Tunic ($88, review here). I was in love with pictures of the top but I had no idea how to wear the top. Still, I knew I had to have it. This post presents three options for how to wear the lilac version. You will notice that I did not…
