Vintage Snowflakes, Lace Roses, and Deep Purple Suede, Oh My! Outfit Inspiration!

Happy Monday.  I had a productive weekend.  I basically stayed home all weekend and produced stuff.  My friend Karen stopped by Sunday with fresh Naval Oranges from her tree.  So I made us sandwiches and sliced Oranges.  We then proceeded to drink a bottle of left over Champagne.  Then I proceeded to BLOG her ear off.

Yes, that's the dress right there.  Well it seems to have made it's way to Anywhere WA.  Do you guys happen to know where Anywhere is?  It's nowhere!  It doesn't exist.  That's where Anthro sends your stuff when they can't figure out where you live.  Even though my address is all over my account.

 My first order for the Cloaked In Roses Jacket by Charlie and Robin was a Pop Back from the November 2010 Catalog.  That order Cancelled. So here it is all the way from Soho NY.  I've been very lucky with cancellations the last 2 months.  This was the only exception.

 See Keiko of Keiko's TanPoPo wearing the Clocked and Roses Jacket HERE.

Shop the Cloaked in Roses in Pop Backs HERE.  There is a size MEDIUM available as of Monday Jan 24th 1:14 PM PST. So check back often.  Runs TTS.  See reviews HERE.

As always, I had a difficult time finding the right top to layer under this sweatshirt.  Did I say sweatshirt? The body of the Jacket is made of Lavender sweatshirt material, with an Ivory lace overlay.  Which makes it easy and comfortable to wear. I went with a simple under layer. Anthro's Reversible Tank in Brown on the Scoop Side by Eloise.

Meet Anthro's Cotton Cargo Skirt by Idra .  I picked this little skirt up on eBay for a whopping $24.  This is the skirt I ordered in a size 2 after looking at the measurements in the description.  OK, so the 2 fit, but much too tight.  So I re-ordered in a size 4 last Sunday.  I had the skirt by Friday. 

Shop my Cargo Skirt on eBay for $24 in sizes 0-10 HERE. Runs TTS. Order up if between sizes.  The fabric is stretch.  If anyone knows the Anthro name for this skirt I would love to know.

I have been dying to show you my Seville Heels in Purple Suede by Coclico .  Aren't they just Gorgeous.  I'm madly in love with Coclico, Chie Mihara, and Argilas.  So when I saw these on Pop Back during the Red Tag Sale I was all over these. They are like nothing I have ever owned. And very comfortable at 3.75 inches.  At 4 I fall flat on my face.  Even in Chie Mihara's.  Anthro's Dotty Cluster Tights by Eloise in Lavender seemed the perfect choice for this outfit.
