Lots of Anthro with one Athleta - Wednesday's OOTD

Happy day after Anthropologie Sale. Today you're either kicking yourself for missing something, or kicking yourself for not missing more, or very satisfied with yourself.

I spent too much, so there's some kicking going on.

My camera is still taking dark images. I reset it to default setting, but there is still something strange going on. Mostly with lighting. I may have to step back to the old Kodak. It needs new re-chargeables. But has always taken great pictures. It's also 3 times the size as the Olympus. Decisions, decisions. Never hurts to try.

Today's OOTD is mostly Anthro. Let's start out with the exception. The DRESS.

I know. Dark huh! I lightened it too. See what I mean?

Deep Sea Dress - by Athleta - was $89 - paid $55 on sale Feb 2010

This has become my favorite little black Summer Dress. I love the crocheted bodice and handy zippered single pocket off to the side. The fabric is a cotton/spandex/modal blend that's machine wash, flat dry. Also available in Woodsmoke. Buy it on sale here.

Apple Mangrove Cardi - by Knitted and Knotted - Anthro Santa Monica Ca May 2010

My fellow Anthro fashionista and friend Heidi, who was featured in yesterdays post, purchased this Cardi for me in the Santa Monica CA Anthro Store. She also bought one for herself, as did her Sister Heather. The style, drape and neutral color are versatile. The front closure is hook and eye. Occasionally it need ironing. Sequins tend to fall off but are easily re-attached The knit is light weight and see through, with little stretch. Perfect for summer. The sleeves are also tight. Only sleeveless tanks and dresses with this.

Luminous Disc Sandals - by Luxury Rebel - Anthro Feb 2010

I am so happy I didn't wait SIX MONTHS for these to go on sale. I was the original reviewer. These are gorgeous, but not without their quirks. The zipper pulls jingle. And yes the rhinestones fall off. The box is outrageously cool. Also comes with a bunch of replacement stones. I glued them back on with Super Glue. Very carefully. The straps are satin and tend to soak up the glue. So best to put the glue on the back of the stone and set with a pair of tweezers. Really, they are so small that it's not very noticeable if some are missing. I looked at other Luxury Rebel shoes. I didn't care much for them. Heels too high and most were over embellished.

You can buy them in Brown on sale at Anthro here. Or in Black or Cocoa on sale at Endless Shoes here.

Glinting Boise Necklace - by Lee Angel - Anthro Feb 2010

The second I saw this Lee Angel Necklace hit the Anthro website I was engaged. But the price point put me in a strangle hold. So I opened an Etsy Alchemy Convo to all Shops to get this copied. No one could satisfy my request. To many wanted to make drastic changes that I wasn't going to be happy with. With-in two weeks I bought it. It was several months before it finally hit sale. I have no regrets. I wear it with at least 3 outfits.It long since sold out. And is no where to be found. Heidi also has the Necklace.

Resin Etched Butterfly Cuff - by Jessica Kagan Cushman - Max and Chloe $170

I was devastated when this Bracelet hit sale and sold out almost immediately on Anthro. Absolutely the only cuff made by Cushman I would ever want. I can't see myself wearing flies, roaches of stupid saying on my wrist all day. The resin is supposed to resemble Ivory. The image is then hand etched into the resin and paint is then applied. It won't ever wear off. It's also hand signed by the designer on the back. It was not until a year later that I discovered it on Shop Style at Max and Chloe. The same price it had been on Anthro. I didn't bat an eye. I can't wear heavy bracelets or bangles. The resin is super light weight and it stays put on my forearm. So comfortable I don't even feel it.

You can buy at Max and Chloe here.

Thingamabob Clip - by Citrus - Anthro -  was $24 - on sale for $10 Jun 2010

Anthro carried three lovely versions of this clip. This is the Silver. I bought two. Heidi picked up all three. They are lined on the back. I use it to clip back my hair. But you could use it like a brooch too. So many possibilities. They are now gone. The brand is Citrus. They also made the Honorine Necklace, which is a match to one of the clips. Love Citrus jewelry. Very unusual and fun to wear.

Thank goodness I am rounding the corner on the long week.

I still have not heard from Readers what fun stuff you got from the sale yesterday. So please tell me what you got and what you plan to do with it. I love it when you guys comment. And I always reply back to you, no matter what you write.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday Dear Friends, Laura (GeoInCalifornia)
