Favoritism.

Vappu Dress, Anthropologie 2010

What piece in your closet would you rescue if your house was on fire?  I know, right... such happy thoughts for a Friday.  

The LBD.

When Jeff said that I have a work event of his to attend next week, I couldn't help but squeal in delight.  Not because I'm proud that he is being honored, but because it gives me an excuse to get a new dress.

But I just couldn't justify a new outfit when the dress code is "Business Dress."  Translation:  Something boring that I will never wear again.  So I decided to remix my favorite LBD.  Look at me being economical!  No worries, I won't make that a habit.

The LBD.  The little black dress... as versatile as a wife, mom and playgroup leader.  One dress, many wears.  One girl, many hats.

No, this work dinner isn't a bore.  (Appear interested.  Smile!)

Selby Skirt, StyleMint

Noah, Max and I watch Full House every afternoon together.  Inspired by Michelle Tanner's 90's ruffled bobby socks, I decided to take the plunge and make my first purchase with Mary-Kate and Ashley's StyleMint.  Loving the hi-lo hemline; kind of reminds me of Uncle Jessie's mullet in season 1.

PS  I used the promo code MYP30 for 30% off of my first purchase.  Score!

Bubble gum.

Gumdrop Earrings, kate spade

I just couldn't walk out of the store without these hot pink neon gumdrops.  Delicious.  

Shopping my closet.

I tend to go a little bananas shopping in the Spring (as evidenced by my last few posts regarding my recent trips to Anthropologie).  But when you wear summer clothes twelve months out of the year, things in your closet start looking pretty stale.  I told myself that I need to start shopping my closet.  Time to get creative and remix the pieces I already have.  I'm using this blog as my way to hold myself accountable.  

I "bought" this outfit for tomorrow's jaunt up to Scottsdale.  So... since this outfit was free, is it justifiable to buy three new skirts tomorrow?  I think so too.

Peace. Love. Bells.

Outfit inspiration:
Linen Extreme Flare, Free People

I just love these linen bells, but they are a bit peace-lovin', bongo-playin', patchouli-wearin' hippie.  A little too much... even for me.

This is my grown-up playgroup appropriate version:      

Wide Leg Chambray Trousers, Anthropologie
Graphic tee, Old Navy
Original Wayfarers, Ray-Ban
Poppy Dream C Signature Ponytail scarf, Coach
Norma Heels, Anthropologie
Crown ID Friendship Bracelet, Juicy Couture

Peace.  Love.  Designer accessories.

14.

in the Grass Court Dress, Anthropologie

Sometimes I succumb to the peer pressure of Zooey Deschanel and Anthropologie.  Sometimes I think I might be 14 because I want to dress like the popular girl.

I think Zooey is mad at me.
