Playing Catch-up in Broken Vintage Anthro Shoes! Don't Wear The Love Out!

Outfit One is today's OOTD.  I'm wearing the Graphical Dress as a skirt.  See my First and Second styling for this dress HERE and HERE.  These are old Posts.  And the first time I let a family member take my photos. I do my own photography on a daily basis.  Or can you tell?  Ha-ha!

It turns out that my photographer Kris and I both purchased the Parading Hues Dress from Yesterday's Anthro Sale.  I think we are on the same wave length. See her new Blog HERE.

I bought this dress in August of last year. I had just begun this Blog a few weeks previous. It was the first time I followed a Tuesday morning sale on Effortless Anthropologie. I used a Vacation Day for this. What fun too stay up all night and connect with other Anthro Addicts.  I couldn't believe my good fortune.

 Katie (Anthro Yogi)  recognized me as GeoInCalifornia Anthro Reviewer and came gallantly to my rescue when I questioned the community about the fit of the Graphical.  You can see our guess was correct. It was at that moment I began to realize what a blessing the Anthro community is.

The Left shoe is missing a Flower

Anthro's Port-To-Port Heels are the second pair of shoes I purchased from Anthro the Summer of 2008.  Not long after that, the Hibiscus Flower on the left shoe broke off.  I was devastated!  I contacted Miss L Fire in Europe to get a replacement Flower.  No such luck!

You can imagine my distress when I realized this morning that the Gold Painted Shell was missing from my Left Shoe.  I re-traced my steps to an office where I had attended an early morning meeting.  And there it was, lying under a table.  I was so happy I immediately went to Heidi's office to show her my little treasure.  Once lost.  Now found. Heidi has the same pair of shoes (2007) with a light house on the back of the heel.  She gets it!

Oufit Two was Monday's OOTD.  Do you ever love something so much that you never want it to wear out?  So you don't wear it very often? That is the case with the Berry Months Dress. See my first stying and review for this dress HERE.

This time I went with Mustard on Strawberries.  Not very appealing on the sweet kind.  But certainly fun on a dress with the Mustard Whirl and Wind Cardi, the If Color Could Talk Necklace (scored for $10 on Pop Back), and the Corn Lane Slingbacks (Taiko) by Chie Mihara.

 Even more Red in the middle with the Outlook Belt.

Do you have a special Dress, Sweater, or even a pair of Treasured Shoes that you don't wear often? Not because you don't like them, but because you don't want to Wear The Love Right Out of It.

I would love to hear about that, and what did you get from the Red Tag Sale?
