OOTD: Make It Work

Hey everyone – I hope that you all are having a good week so far.  I’m looking forward to the weekend of running errands and catching up with friends.  I’m debating if I should enter another 5k race this Saturday since I haven’t been running that often.  I figured that a timed race will kick me back into running gear.  Let’s hope anyways. 

Did you all have a chance to see Project Runway tonight?  I love this show.  Tonight was the season premiere of season 9.  I think that it’s too early to say who my favorites are already, but I’ll name a few of them.  I’m very excited to see some amazing future outfits by Anya Ayoung-Chee, Viktor Luna, and Fallene Wells.  Check out the website here for more information about this season’s new designers. 

This outfit is from last week that I didn’t have a chance to post.  I found this cardigan at my local Anthro store for just $19.95.  I was a little on the fence about it at first, but for $20 bucks I figured that I would do as Tim Gunn says and “make it work.”

OOTD: A Hint of Leopard

I meant to post this picture last week, but I never got a chance to do it.  I was inspired to wear 2 different shirt dresses last week because of the fashion segment on Good Morning America.   As I stated in my previous post (here), I love wearing shirt dresses.  This particular dress below is one of my favorites.

So, it looks like Anthropologie had a decent sale yesterday.  Did any of you ladies buy anything from Anthro? Unfortunately, I have to sit this one out.   There isn’t anything that just got marked down that I can’t live without.  Plus, I need to really slow things down for a bit.  I know that I have said this before, but this time I’m going to buckle down.  Anyhoo, I would love to hear about what you bought so far.  Let me know.

Dress: Express Stretch Belted Shirt Dress (similar here and here)

Scarf: Coach Madison Op Art Oblong Scarf (various scarves here)

Earrings: Silver Hoops (gifted)
Shoes: Nine West Leopard Flats (old)

miscellany monday

happy monday everyone – i’ve added my random ramblings to carissa’s miscellany monday party!  check out carissa’s blog here and join in on the fun. 

{one} project runway.  have you heard that project runway is starting it’s 9th season on thursday, july 28^th on lifetime. i can’t wait for the new season to begin.  i always love to see new designers create amazing outfits within limited time constraints.  there are some really talented people out there. i still have dreams to apply and audition for this show, but i really need to get started sewing my designs.

{two} football.  are you ready for some football? thank goodness the nfl finally came to an agreement and the lockout is officially over.  i was a little worried about the future of my sundays and monday nights.  i never really understood all of the details of the lockout, but i’m glad that the owners and players are ready to get started.

{three} entourage.  are there any entourage fans out there?  entourage is another great show by hbo and this is the series final season.  i’m sad to see the show end, but i can’t wait to see how hbo wraps up another wonderful series.
