This skirt was the precursor to my skirt addiction. I purchased it from Anthrolpologie online. Skirts weren’t really my thing, but the picture on the website was gorgeous and it was unique, so I plunked down the cash for it. The first time I wore it I felt kind of awkward, so I stuck it back into my closet to “marinate”.
It was a black linen skirt with lace trim that TRULY got me going on the skirt addiction, just a couple months later. Once that was …

I bought this at the Camarillo outlets. I needed a dress or two for my bridal showers, so my maid of honor and I went out the day before Thanksgiving (we got AWESOME deals and bought the place out – my back seat was filled to the brim with packages).

I know, I am waaaaay behind in my blogging, so let’s jump right in with this adorable retro piece.
Picked this up for about $20 on the Macy’s sale rack. Gotta love those sale racks! I am starting to really enjoy polka dots. The pattern plus the cut of this blouse feels very retro to me. The princess seams are exceedingly flattering. What else can I say about this top? It’s cute!
