Coat: J. CrewTop: J. Crew
Cardigan: J. Crew (Jackie:)
Pants: Anthropologie
Shoes: Dansko
Necklace: Found at a local consignment shop (It may be a little too reminiscent of an Easter egg, but I like it anyways. Easter is actually coming up fairly soon, so I guess it's appropriate.)
I also have to tell you about a great deal I found today! I have been stalking the Pins and Needles Pleated Knee-length Skirt from UO ever since seeing it on Sara from You, Me & Anthropologie (here it is on her).
It's been in my cart for a while, but I have been hesitant to order, just because I have never ordered anything from UO, I didn't know if it would fit me, and I didn't want to pay the $10 shipping. Online, the skirt is currently $59.00. I was looking at it again this morning, and I almost went for it and checked out. Then I thought that maybe I should just go to the B&M (which is actually very close to my office) to see if they had any in stock so that I could try it on before buying it. So, that is what I did on my lunch break (parking was very easy, thanks to all of this snow we got:). I looked around, but didn't see the skirt. I asked one of the SA and she said that if they had any left, they would be in the sale section (Sale????). Low and behold there were a few left. I found my size, it fit nicely, and it was only $19.99!!!
Oh man...we got about 3 or 4 inches today in parts of Seattle and it was crazy coming home. I think I almost got stuck but it only took us 1.5 hours to go 13 miles. Not bad!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! on your find! that's sweet. I am so unlucky that way. I NEVER make killer finds. ANYWAY, that is so beautiful....Snow :) Shoot. We only got sleet and we shut down the whole city! We are Pansy's here in TEXAS.You are brave woman! But you also look adorable as always. I love the Jackie cardigan color. Looks so pretty against the black and looks great with the snow in the background love it! Congrats on the find. You have a safe and happy weekend <3
ReplyDeleteThat darn snow. I wonder what people would do if it snowed the 16 inches it snowed here on Monday! I do love it as a backdrop though, it may be irritating but it sure is beautiful. I also really like your "Easter egg" and didn't at all see that, just a pretty necklave. That turquoise color really pops!
ReplyDeleteScore on that deal! I've been eying up UO skirts after Sara's post as well, but so unsure as well. I can't wait to see it on you!
First, I love your necklace. I don't think it looks Easterish (is that a word?) at all really. It is just gorgeous! What a great deal on that skirt. I love finding good deals, makes the rest of my day cheerful.
ReplyDeleteWhat? One inch of snow in portland causes an uproar? I would have thought you guys got a lot of snow!
ReplyDeletePS: That $20 deal on the UO skirt is a big scoop! Seems like a bunch of folks in the blogosphere are ready to pay $60 for it. I can't believe there's such a huge price disparity between online/in-store.
What a good deal! I always love those as if it meant to yours if you know what I mean. I never know Portland doesn't snow much. The forecast calls for snow in SF bay area for this weekend, but I don't think it is going to happen.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! We got a ton of snow here too. Silly me, I thought it never snows in Portland. I just thought it rained a lot, but no snow period. Just shows you that I live under a BIG rock.
ReplyDeleteI adore that turquoise necklace and I can't believe you scored that skirt for $19?!????? Whooaaaaaaaaa, what a steal! Can't wait to see you rock it!
I love hearing about awesome deals! And doesn't it just make your day?! Can't wait to see an OOTD with the skirt. :) Oh, and the snow is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteAwesome skirt! And that necklace is so cool, I don't see easter egg, I just see shiny o.o
ReplyDeleteAnyway, funny how a city shuts down over a little bit of snow eh? Apparently SF is in a bit of a thing waiting for their snowfall that might come.
Hope your weekend goes great too :)
Cindi - It sounds like you got quite a bit more than us. 1.5 hours sounds pretty bad, but I guess it could have been worse!
ReplyDeleteGabby - Thanks! I can't wait to wear the skirt! I'm from NC where we used to get quite a bit of snow (compared to Portland at least), so this little bit seemed like nothing!
Minnesota Maven - Yes, it is pretty! We did have a pretty big snow storm a couple of years ago (we got about 2 feet). The whole city pretty much shut down for a whole week! It was pretty crazy.
Mommyblogger - Thank you (and yes, I am certain that is a real word:)!
JG - Yes, any type of winter weather causes major issues around here! We do get lots of snow in the surrounding areas (like Mt. Hood), however, it is a very rare occurrence in the city. I was shocked when I found the skirt for that price! Love it when that happens (although the discrepancy is frustrating)!
Terrie - Thanks! The amount of hype over this type of weather is ridiculous sometimes! I will have to check out the rainbow striped flats! I don't regularly shop at UO, but I think I need to stop in a little more often to check the sale racks!
Inkmark - That's exactly how I felt! I had been watching the skirt for so long, wondering if I should get it. Definitely meant to be:)
Hi Lisa! We do mostly get rain, but every once in a while we get a tiny bit of snow! Thanks! I'm excited to wear the skirt:)
Loraine - Yes, it definitely made my day! I was so excited to tell Ben about it when I got home (he didn't seem quite as happy about it as I was)!
Jess - Thanks:) I know a few people in SF that are excited about the potential snow. It does create a hassle, but it's also very pretty. It's nice to have a little bit every now and then!
