I purchased the Precious Particulars blouse when it hit sale on Tuesday. It arrived yesterday and I absolutely love it! The fit is great (tts), and I adore the color, pattern, and neck tie. It has a great vintage vibe that I think compliments this skirt nicely.
Top: Anthropologie Precious Particulars blouse
Skirt: Urban Outfitters Pins and Needles pleated skirt (online here for $59, but on sale in stores for $19.99)
Tights: J. Crew
Shoes: Anthropologie Flaxen Wedges
I went out with my lovely friend Alicia (likelybadger) on Friday night for mani/pedi's, drinks, and dinner! We had so much fun, as usual:) She brought along this sephora polish that we both used: 
It's from the urban ballerina collection and it is really a beautiful color. I had never used any of the sephora polishes before, but so far, I really like it.
Speaking of new products, I ordered the Fresh sugar lip gloss (in shimmering honey raspberry) this weekend. I really love Fresh products, but have never tried the lip gloss. If you've tried it, let me know what you think!
I hope you all have a great week!
I LOVE these photos. When I saw your outfit and pics on anthroholic's site I was so pumped for you, you look great! Those shoes are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteSide note-I just purchased those polishes recently but haven't worn them yet, they come in a four pack so it's nice to know they work well! I'm gonna have to try them!

ReplyDeleteWow, got your goodie already? I am still waiting for mine. What a great outfit. It has a retro vibe to it. I like the matching nail polisher too. I was considering some opi nail polishers last night too with sephora sale but decided not to because I won't have much time to use them anyway.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome and your photos are rockin'! I love the shoes you paired with this outfit.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this top! I ordered one, too and it came over the weekend while I was out of town (of course I didn't know it had been delivered and the poor thing sat outside in the snow overnight...sad!) I haven't had time to try it on yet but I've already been dreaming up outfits. I think it looks absolutely perfect with the UO skirt.
ReplyDeleteYou look great! The trees set off your outfit even more... your shoes are like chantrelles peaking out of the forest floor :)
ReplyDeleteOne day I am gonna need you and Alicia to come into my closet and just dress me - I am at a loss these days!
beautiful! I love all the fantastic greens around you! ugh- my surroundings are persisting in monotonous white and grey
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit. The top and skirt compliment each other so nicely, and the yellow shoes give it such a nice pop of colour. I just bought this blouse myself, and I'm looking forward to breaking it out.
ReplyDeleteThat top looks great on you! I tried it but it just didn't do anything for me. Pairing it with that skirt and shoes is perfection. Please share what you think of the Fresh lip gloss. :)
ReplyDeleteMinnesota Maven - Thank you so much! You are so sweet:) You will have to show off your new polish on your blog. I saw some really pretty colors in the collection!
ReplyDeleteInkmark - Thanks:) When anthropologie ships via USPS, I usually receive my package fairly quickly (within 3-4 days), but when they use UPS, it takes forever. Hope you get yours soon!
Betty Ray - Thank you!
AppGal - Thanks! I am sure you will love yours once you are able to try it on! I'm excited to see how you style it!
Farmer Jo - Thanks:) I love your description of my shoes! We should all go shopping sometime!
Thatdamngreendress - Thanks! All of the green is definitely something positive we get from all of the rain here in the PNW!
Overcaffeinated - Thank you! I'm sure you will love the top! I was hesitant about purchasing it, but I'm so glad I did.
Loraine - Thank you:) I will definitely let you know what I think about the lip gloss.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the green and gray combo. Amazing look!
ReplyDeleteSuch inspiring photography Kristin. The only thing that separates you from this lovely forest of trees, are your humanity, and those lovely Flaxen Wedges. The pleated skirt is just all out gorgeous. I've never seen Deep Green, soft Gray and Golden Yellow look so absolutely amazing together. You look like a Wood Sprite. Perfect outfit, perfect background, perfect you!
ReplyDeleteKristin. Wow and WOW. The backdrop is stunning. It makes me wanna move to Portland :) And I second what Laura said, you look amazzzzing. One of my very favorite outfits! Perfect you!
ReplyDeleteOh MAN these photos make me miss Portland SO MUCH! I love the greens and the moss and everything all wet and drippy. I love how it doesn't get so cold that it stops being green and I love the summers with no mosquitoes! I'm coming in June for my college reunion...woo hoo! Okay, but now for the serious stuff: You look awesome in this pleated skirt and I love the colors you chose. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteMs. Mindless - Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLaura - Thank you so much! I really, really appreciate your sweet comment:)
Lisa - Thank you:) We definitely have an abundance of green around here!
TrophyBoutique - Thanks! Portland is pretty amazing! I moved here about 6 years ago and I love it. June is the perfect time for a visit! How exciting!
Love the outdoor pictures -- most especially the one next to the ivy-covered brick wall. And the colors in your outfit are truly gorgeous. Love the bright green blouse with those fun yellow pumps. And cheers to pleated skirts!
ReplyDeleteNow I can't wait to style my blouse with some yellow shoes and gray! I just love the color pairings you chose with the gray and yellow. Total winner! You look amazing!
ReplyDeletei love this whole outfit! and the photos themselves are amazing. just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristin! Your photos just keep getting prettier and prettier. I love this outfit. Keep up the great work. I love all of that Green around you all. It's so refreshing. We are still in Winter mode here.Bare trees and such. But your pretty green blouse and I like the way you wore it with those shoes. Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome and were a magician with this outfit! The skirt looks wonderful paired with this blouse and you're making me think twice about it!! Oh and the backdrop is so peaceful and lovely, very Portland!!
ReplyDeleteThose photos are so great. I adore precious particulars with the pleated skirt and your colorful shoes.
ReplyDeleteI love that you and Likely Badger are friends! And that nail polish color looks great. I have Metro Chic from the Sephora OPI collection and was really pleased with its finish, longevity, and quality.
Beautiful outfit, girl, you look fantastic, prim, retro, chic!
ReplyDeleteJamie - Thank you! We had a lot of fun with the pictures! Yes, cheers to pleated skirts:)

Gabby - Thanks:) All of the green is another wonderful thing about Portland. It's pretty much green all of the time - so beautiful!
Dea - Thank you! Very Portland indeed! The skirt is so fun and I'm really loving the blouse!
Jesspgh - Thank you! I will have to check out Metro Chic - I'm always looking for new nail polishes. Essie is my favorite, they have great colors.
Lisa - Thank you!!!
Very pretty outfit, and I love it with the yellow shoes!
ReplyDeleteThis has nothing to do with the post and everything to do with the scenery in the background. Living in the desert I just cannot believe how green everything is! The pictures are like eye candy to me.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous outfit and photos! I really like the pop of yellow you added to your outfit with the wedges!!!
ReplyDeleteLady Cardigan - Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJacquelyn - Yes! Lots of green everywhere! One of the benefits of all the rain we get:)
Kelly - Thank you! These shoes are definitely favorites of mine.
OH my god!!! Love this outfit on you!!! This is amazing! Color looks great on your skin! And its so funny cause I was wearing that blouse yesterday! :) Love it!!! I am so glad you are back to regular shoes now! Cause girl you totally picked the right ones for this outfit!
ReplyDeleteHi Midory! Thank you! I love this top:) Yes, regular shoes again, thank goodness. I still have to wear the dansko's for long days at work, but I'm starting to work the regular (pretty) shoes back into rotation. I can't wait to see this top on you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful outfit and real big kudos to your photographer! I love that you matched a pair of unexpected and fun pair of shoes with your outfit.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Banhannas!
