August Wish List – Top 3

I haven’t been to Anthropologie yet to check out their new arrivals.  But, I’m really looking forward to seeing everything.  Have you made it out to the store yet?  I received the catalog a couple of weeks ago and I like what I see so far.  I wanted to highlight some of my favorites with all of you.  Surprisingly this month I don’t have any dresses in my top 3 – I know it’s unlike me.  I just wasn’t moved by any of the new arrivals right now.  Anyways, here are my top 3 items from Anthropologie for the month of August. Do any of you have any favorites that you can’t live without this month?

Old Navy Fitting Room Reviews

Hi everyone – I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend.  I just wanted to share a few Old Navy (ON) fitting room reviews with all of you.  Last weekend I tried on a few dresses and tops and one pair of jeans.  I was inspired to make a trip to ON when I read several fantastic reviews from Gigi at Gigi’s Gone Shopping.  I was pleasantly surprised with everything that I tried on except for the pair of jeans, but I’ll talk more about that a little later.

I tried on this sweater in a small (S) and it fits TTS.   This sweater is pretty thin but it’s warm enough to transition into the fall weather.  I think this will be a great sweater to wear underneath a blazer or with a pencil skirt.  It’s a great alternative to J. Crew’s Cashmere Polka-Dot Sweater and the Tippi Sweater In Heart Me.  This sweater comes in polka-dot motif, several striped colors and solid colors.  This one is definitely going to come home with me soon, but I’m not sure which color to buy.



Short-Sleeved Sweaters…$19.94
I loved the polka dot version of the short-sleeve sweater, but I may have to grab this one in a solid color as well.  It’s also a lightweight sweater and it’s made from cotton.  I think that the sweater might run a little big because I tried on the only sweater in my store which was an extra small (XS).  The sweater fit me perfectly.  I think that the small would have been too big.  I grabbed this sweater right away because it was the only one in the store.  This sweater is only available on the ON website.


I obviously was on a polka dot themed day when I went to ON.  This dress comes in the polka-dot motif as seen here and also in a heart motif.  This dress is cute, but I wasn’t in love with this one.  I tried on this dress in a small (S) and it fits TTS.  The dress is knee length and I think it would be perfect for work.  The neckline is unique, but I’m not a big fan of the ruffles.  I’m going to leave this one in the store. 



I tried this dress on in a size (4) and a size (6).  I only took a picture of the size (6) because it worked out best for me.  This dress ran a little small on me.  The size 4 was a little snug in the back and it pulled a little in the chest.  The only complaint that I have with the dress is the buttons were really difficult to go thru the fabric.  I’m hoping that they will loosen up after a while.  The chambray fabric is the perfect weight and the length is perfect for work too.  The website says that the dress has long sleeves, but the sleeves are actually 3/4 length sleeves.  I’m definitely going to pick this dress up soon.


I tried on the camp shirt in a small (S) and it fits TTS.  I bought a couple of these gingham shirts last year and I loved them.  I get compliments every time that I wear them.  The shirt comes in several checkered colors, several plaid prints and one floral pattern.  I plan to pick up this shirt soon because this color is going fast.


I didn’t take a picture of these jeans because the jeans were extremely tight and they looked almost a little obscene.  I even went up 3 sizes just to get them on my body.  I decided not to go up another size because the waistband was already pretty loose.  I realize that the Rockstar style is not for me especially because of my hourglass figure.  I’m going to stick with the sweetheart and flirt skinny jeans instead.


Have you bought anything from ON lately? What are some of your favorites?

Fresh Picks to Follow – Go for the Gold

I’ve been glued to the television for the past seven days soaking up as much of the Olympics as possible.  I’m extremely happy to see so many of the American athletes compete and reach their Olympic dreams. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, and I’ve even yelled at the television attempting to cheer on my favorite athletes.  I think that the media has done a fantastic job of taking us along for the ride.  I feel so much more connected to the athletes after reading about their backgrounds or watching a video profile about their journey to the Olympics.  

I’m not sure about you all, but I was happy to see that after seven days, that Team USA has finally taken over the lead in the medals count with 54 medals overall.  Out of the 54 medals, Team USA has 26 gold medals and we still have another week to go.  I wonder how many gold medals Team USA will have at the end of the Olympics?  Do any of you have any ideas? 

For this week’s Fresh Pick to Follow, here are my top 10 Olympic gold, silver and bronze medal inspired pieces to support the American athletes during the 2012 Summer Olympics.  What do you love most about the Olympics and how much of it have you watched so far? Let me know in the comments!
