OOTD - My new obsession

I've been waiting to post an outfit using this kimono jacket since I bought it on clearance weeks ago. I've worn it to work with jeans but I wanted my first OOTD with this piece to be a little different. I've been awoken the past few weeks to the oh to pleasant sounds to saws, hammers, and lumber dropping. They are building a house next door (great for property value, awful for sleep) and they insist on starting earlier than I care for. Thus my outfits have been rushed and uninteresting because I spend much of my morning complaining to myself about the intrusion of blissful sleep. To be honest I don't even know how I pulled this outfit together, but I love it so I won't look a gifted horse in the mouth. So on to the details... the kimono jacket was purchased from Anthropologie on clearence. It's by Porridge and I'm in love with it. I'm almost as obsessed in love with it as I am with my J. Crew chambray shirt. I threw it on over a target bodycon sweater dress and called it a day. The colors don't actually match, but they compliment nicely. Now if only catching up on sleep were this easy I would be a happy lady.

Attention Shoppers - Anthropologie

I will admit, I'm not a huge Anthro shopper, but as I browse the blogs I see so many things that I absolutely adore. So when I was in the mall this weekend I thought I'd pop in - results are mixed. First off I think I'm a little spoiled with all the additional % off sales going on right now, so the fact that Anthro didn't give any additional discounts at the register was a bit of a disappointment. Second, there were a few things I loved but they didn't come in my size (bummer) - I noticed that the sizing seems to run small at this store, at least it did for the items I tried on. I'll have to see if they come in additional sizes online. Oh well - it's probably good for my wallet :o)

I saw this sweater on a mannequin and immediately fell in love. It's a dress; It's a cardigan; It's a wrap; It's all of the above! I would wear this to death! Unfortunately this seemed to run on the smaller size so it didn't fit as well as I'd like. And for the price (if I remember correctly it's around $100) it needs to fit. So sad, but it had to stay at the store.

I really like this top. I actually left the store with this top. But I think I will be returning this top. Why? Value value value. This was $50! And compared to the jacket below and the sweater above, I just don't think it's actually worth $50. It's a jersey knit striped open cardigan. It fits great, the sleeves are nice and long... hmm now I'm talking myself back into keeping it. I'll have to sleep on it. What do you ladies think??

I really wanted this jacket to work. Not only was it cute, but it was only $40, which is a steal! It was exaggerated shoulders, a marled fabric, and a cute back! But for me it was a little light under the arms and across the chest. I don't think it runs small per say, I just think it's cut in a way that's not good for well endowed women. But if you have a smaller chest I would 100% recommend this jacket!
