The Silken Stitches Dress

As mentioned in one of my previous posts, I purchased this dress in a size 10.  I loved it so much I was willing to pay to get it altered and let's just say I'm totally glad I did!  The dress itself was simple, but the colors made a bold statement.  I love the royal blue mixed with the cerulean blue pattern.

Coin Purse and Chambray

This 30 for 30 challenge has definitely forced me to be creative.  I know this is only outfit #2, but the challenge has already pushed me to think outside of the box in terms of mixing and matching the clothes that I already have.  I never thought of pairing the H&M chambray shirt with LiaMolly's Coin Purse Cardigan until a few days ago and I must say, I love how it turned out!  Sorry for the grainy phone pic -_-

This is completely off topic, but I forgot to mention that I bought the Silken Stitches Dress at Anthro for $30 (orig. $168) during the tag sale.  The only problem with the dress was that it was 8 sizes too big @.@.  Despite the size, I couldn't resist picking it up at such a great price (I've also been pining over that dress for awhile, though it was forever sold out online).  So I took it to the alterations and they hemmed/took it in and now it fits perfectly.  I'm so excited to wear this dress to a friend's wedding in a few days!

Now I'm off to figure out what my outfit #2 will be for tomorrow.  Any ideas?  :P

Attempting the 30 for 30

Alrighty, so I'm going to attempt Kendi's 30 for 30 challenge!  Here are the items I've chosen --

Wish me luck! :)

Fall into the Gap

Am I imagining things or was there an old Gap commerical with the lyrics "Fall into the Gap, fall into the Gap"?  Anyway, I totally scored this amazing Gap blazer the other day for a whopping $25 (orig. $98).  And on top of the amazing price, the lining of the sleeves have little polka dots!!  And to add to my bargain shopping bragging, I scored these crop pants for $6 at Old Navy several months ago.  Old Navy has totally stepped it up in terms of their work/casual clothes.
