WooHoo! I hit Post number 50 today in just two months of blogging. I am stoked!
I was out on the RiverWalk at 6 AM. It was gorgeous and cool. But, the Heat Wave continues.
I re-styled today's OOTD last night. The dress I might have worn once. I don't like the cut, but the print is lovely. Although the fabric is rayon. $118 seems a bit much for what it is. The sale price even seems a lot, considering I'm just not that into it.

| Peppercorn Dress - by Maeve - Anthro orig $118, sale $60 - July 2009 |
So what do you do with a dress that you don't like that much? Cover it up with a long bright Cardi that you don't like much either.
Wallah! What do you get? Two unfavorable closet space wasters in a very favorable OOTD. Both were on my "to sell" list. Since, removed from the list. Another great example of how to shop your closet.

| Above and Beyond Cardi - by Tabitha - Anthro orig $128, sale $70 - July 2009 |
The Park Employees must have thought me a strange one for standing with my head almost in the Arbor. I just kept smiling as they slowly drove past.

Camden Wedge in Black - by Jambu - Zappos orig $123, sale $98 - May 2010
Shop the Camden Wedge at Zappos in Black or Red Patent Leather, or
Bronze Metallic Leather here. |
The Camden Wedge has gone up in price since I purchased my pair on sale in May. I just mentioned my son Camden the other day, didn't I? Just checking to see if everyone is awake. And no I didn't buy the shoes for the name.
Jambu's, formerly known as J-41's, are Jeep created, and trail rated. I feel confident I won't slip, tip, trip, flip or turn an ankle.
Did you know? If you are a Zappos VIP customer, and your shoe order does not fit, Zappos will ship(overnight) an additional pair of the same shoes in another size. You will not be charged for shipping or the additional shoes. In fact, they will do this as many times as it takes to get the same pair of shoes to you in the correct size. Just make sure you return the original pair ASAP. Free returns too.

| Sepia Crocus Bag - Dark Stem Shiny Laminate Tote - by Orla Kiely - Anthro $178 - June 2008 |
My very first and very favorite Orla Kiely bag from Anthro. Still loving it after 2.5 years.
Let's not forget about the jewelry.

| Orange Agate and Purpurite with Copper Chain - Etsy Shop fleurfatale $38 - June 2009 |
See me wear this necklace in a another OOTD here. Shop fleurfatale on Etsy here.
Natural stone is my favored choice when it comes to jewelry. Etsy has an unlimited supply of lovely shops to browse for the perfect piece.

iPhone Home Button Earrings - PowerBook Medic $14.95 - Jan 2010
Shop my iPhone Earrings, Tie Tacks, Cuff Links and more here. |
A work friend sent an image of these in an email. All it said was "guess what these are?" I had no clue, but I pretended like I knew. I said "Wow, where can I get them?" My iPhone was sitting on the desk right under my nose, and I couldn't ID these Home Button Earrings. Both Heidi D. and I purchased them immediately. They are a conversation piece to say the least
Shell Spiral Ring - Aprosio and Co. Italy - Anthro orig $178 sale $80 - July 2009
Shop more Aprosio Jewelry from Anthro here, and here.
OK! The ring is interesting. But I wouldn't purchase this at full price. Did you get a load of the price of the clip on Earrings that match in the link above? Is Anthro nuts? But then, all jewelry from Italy will be overpriced. France too.
I was ready for an Anthro sale this morning. I haven't purchased anything from the last two sales. So I was a bit miffed to learn last night that there would be no new mark downs. One good reason to pay attention to Kim at
Anthroholic and Roxy at
EA. Also where you can check out the Anthropologie Collective Blog Awards info and vote for your favorite blogs.
What do you think of my 2 unfavorable items as a now favorable re-style?
Any thoughts on how I could put these items to better use?
Should I have just stuck with selling them as planned?
My sticking point last night was with the shoes. I had several pairs that I could have gone with.
Did I do OK with the Jambu Wedges?
Hope everyone is indoors and out of the Southern CA heat today. As for everyone else, how is your weather?
I am waiting patiently for your comments.
