Of course it warmed up during the day and by the the the evening rolled around and I was out at a concert I was ready to melt under the sweater. Oh well. The outfit worked well for most of the day.

The Return of Spring
Some cold and wet weather blew in so I guess we are actually going to have a bit of spring with a few days in the 50s and 60s. For the cool down, I decided to wear my Lost Time skirt because I definitely haven't been giving it much love this year and I wore it a ton last year! I paired it with my new Evening Chill Pullover which I was able to snag via popback on Anthro's website in March. The necklace is from the Banana Republic outlet last summer.

Tennis, Anyone?
Last week had yet another burst of heat. Surprised? I'm not. I feel like it's been summer since February with a few spring days thrown in. Since it is Mid-April, and nearly 88 degrees, I decided it was okay to bust out some summer clothes. I decided to wear Anthro's Lido Light Skirt by We Love Vera because I love the varying shades of blue and green. I paired it with a simple white polo from Banana Republic Petite. However, now that I am looking at the picture, I definitely look like I am heading out for a tennis match. I enjoy a good game of tennis, so that isn't a bad thing. The truth is, though, I simply wore this outfit to work, and that's all. Maybe tennis another day.

Outside Looking Inside
Wow. I'm very glad it's Friday. This has been en extremely intense week at work and I am definitely ready for a relaxing weekend. I don't have too many things on the agenda for the weekend so it will be a great time to engage in a bit of spring cleaning around the house. The weather is cooling to more seasonal temperatures, but before it did, I was able to wear the Even Flurry dress again! This was the same dress I wore to church on Easter Sunday, but as I only had it on for a few hours, I figured I could appropriately wear it again a week later.
The polka-dotty dress is sheer but with a tank underneath it works fine. I paired it here with the Belle Bow and the Whirl and Wind Cardi, both from Anthropologie. Of course, I also felt compelled to where my yellow nine west shoes to add a bit more color to the ensemble.

Life's Full of Disappointment
Good morning readers!
I am still pouty from disappointment... yesterday the space shuttle flew by, directly overhead of where I work. And, I missed it. I was stuck inside my little office in a meeting and missed all the hoopla until it was all said and done. While not a big deal, I am sad because I wanted to see it and lost my chance! It's not everyday a space shuttle flies by to view with the naked eye. Did you see it?
On a non-disappointing note, I happened to be in an Anthropologie 2 weeks ago on a Tuesday... not even consciously thinking that it was a sale day! I was able to snag this Mountain Time A-Line skirt on sale. I love this guy. He's full but not too full and the natural and navy song combo make this skirt perfect to wear year round. I paired it with the Whirl and Wind cardi to give it a pop of color.

Shortlist
Here it is, finally, an April wishlist! I haven't been loving too many spring things thus far this year, but here are a few that caught my eye.
Graphic Hibiscus Shift
This cute dress from Anthropologie comes in petite sizing and has bold summer colors. What I REALLY love about it is the cute button detail on the backing. Waiting for some reviews to pop up online before I decide if I need this dress or not.
Montserrat Dress
Another Anthro dress that comes in petite. I enjoy the soft colors and the fact that this dress has short sleeves (most summer dresses are sleeveless)! I need to see this one in real life and try it on to make sure the scoop neck isn't too low, but this dress looks like one meant for me.
Solarbloom Clutch
I need another clutch like a hole in the head but I love this in both the yellow and green colors. It is a fun burst of spring! Perhaps when it hits sale it will become mine.

Another Bundle Of Joy
My dear friend, Courtney, is expecting a baby girl this spring. A few weeks ago, her sister threw a delightful tea to shower her with new baby gifts. I figured this was the perfect time to debut my new Joan Sheath dress from Banana Republic's Madmen collection for spring 2012. I thought this was the perfect color and style for a baby shower tea. Here are a few pictures, including the darling zebra-inspired cupcakes Courtney had made as shower favors!

Back To the Same Old, Same Old
After all the excitement of trips and parties to show, now we are back to just a boring Outfit of the Day. I actually wore this a few weeks ago, but am so far behind on posting, I am just getting to it today. This is the Banana Republic Mad Men lace dress from last summer paired with Anthro's Melodious Cardi. I love everything about this cardigan- the color, the length, the fit, you name it- I love it! I wore this again with my Jenna Pumps from Banana. I feel like everytime I wear this dress these are the shoes of choice!
