I got to finally wear my eyelet skirt on its own, but I'm not completely sure about my feelings for this particular outfit. The more I think about it, the more "miss" it seems to me than "hit." Ah well. That just means I'll have to think up something else to pair the skirt with in the future.

You better believe that I scoped out the sale at Anthropologie yesterday. Although there were a number of things I wanted to get, I only pulled the trigger on the lovely calico dress that I tried on months ago here. I really wanted the Two Paths trench as well, but it's sold out in my size online and I didn't get a chance to check my stores. The Arribada dress was calling my name, but I was a good girl and didn't bite. The price is still too steep for me. Especially after I just placed an order for this beauty:

Behold, Rebecca Minkoff's Morning After Bag in Violet/Pansy! I've been lusting after the MAB for quite some time now and have also been squirreling away money for it. After I saw it in this color, I knew I had to have it. It is now on its way to me and I can't wait to get my hot little hands on it! Mine mine miiiiine!
Gahhh grabby hands at your MAB, the color is gorgeous... I'm obsessed with my MAM and I've been using it for 4mths straight already... no signs of getting sick of it or changing it up..
ReplyDeleteI love the pic with the swishy skirt... looks artsy, it's cute :)
Lady, I don't see a thing wrong with that skirt on you. It looks darling! (Plus I literally got that exact skirt in the mail yesterday and am eyeballing it from across the room right now, giving it the suspicious stink eye).
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your orange belt and am trying to figure out you awesome belt-tying origami technique.
Googly eyes at your MAB.
1. I will definitely be whooping it up again tonight for Cinco de Mayo ~ but thinking it will be a slushie with Bacardi instead of margheritas.
ReplyDelete2. I want to borrow that cardi because I heart it soooo much.
3. Outfit is way too cute to be a miss. I vote hit!
4. Totally jealous of your new bag. I know, I know, "thou shall not covet" but I can't help myself.
And finally,
5. (I did 5 since it is Cinco)What is that tattoo on your arm that I spied for the first time in yesterday's post??? Inquiring minds would like to know!
This look is so cute - especially with the hat :)
ReplyDeleteThat bag is gorgeous! Can't wait to see photos!
I wish my 'misses' were this cute! I love your outfit! And I've also been considering pulling the plug on the MAB, I have a Nikki and a MAM and love them both so when I find a color I love in MAB you can bet it will be mine! Great to see you have fabulous taste in bags as well! Happy Cinco!

:) I agree, I wish my misses were this cute too!
ReplyDeleteAnd looooove your pretty new violet bag! It's like a little (big) easter egg. Congrats!!
I love it, so not sure what you are finding wrong. And the hat? Just too cute for words.
ReplyDeleteThat outfit is a major win, not a miss! You look darling!
ReplyDeleteI'm also insanely jealous of your new bag! I've been looking for the perfect lavender bag after missing out on the MbyMj Hillier in that color last year. I want this one now! I have one MAM already, and love it!
That bag is so pretty. I love your outfit especially the hat is too cute!
ReplyDeleteI like that outfit just fine the way it is! it looks adorable on you.
ReplyDeleteand that bag- the color is gorgeous.
I have to disagree with you on the hit-or-miss question. This outfit is so breezy- it makes me think of an island vacation, especially with that hat. And that bag... :-O gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute outfit! Love that orange belt with it. :)

I have the hardest time styling solid skirts like that...that's why I come here for your fabulous inspiration! For some reason pencil skirts are much easier for me to work with!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great outfit! Love the eyelet and that amazing sweater.
ReplyDeleteaccckk - awesome, awesome, awesome on the purse! I've been eyeballing them on Amazon since I had a gift card- they are so pretty and I love the color you chose!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you got the calico dress, it looked so great on you! And the bag is such a beauty!
ReplyDeletep.s. I am backing up the others with a hit vote fore today's OOTD
I love this outfit! Definitely not a "miss"! And I am a one-margarita gal, myself. Let's go get drunk on one beverage next time James needs to go home to Houston?
ReplyDeleteCute fedora, wish my head wasn't so big so I can wear one the way you doo. Too cute. Great skirt, it looks so flowy!!

ooh, that bag is a nice color. it looks very pet-worthy. :)
ReplyDeleteI like this skirt (it's cute!), but if you are looking for something a little less full/flouncy, garnet hill has an eyelet skirt that is more pencil in shape.
rebecca minkoff makes the best bags...i already have 2 of hers and i want more! so addicting!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bag, the color is perfect! I can't wait to see pics
ReplyDeleteheyy! awesome outfit! i was wondering about the fit of the skirt.. thinking about ordering it.. i am a small in skirts at anthro.. how does this one fit? (gonna order from alloy)
ReplyDeleteI like this outfit – is there something in particular that bothers you about it? It looks so summery. And hooray for the RM bag. I have a MAM that I've been carrying since 2006 and I still love it.
ReplyDeleteyou look so cute, as always! love the shot of you in motion, the skirt looks great. i'm a lightweight myself, so 1 margarita is my max. anything after that and i start to turn so obviously red. this is why i can never drink during lunch and then go back to work (um not that people do that around here...)
ReplyDeletecongrats on the new bag! is the neverfull going to be your next :)
Oh goodness...you look great but I am having a hard time getting past the MAM! Gorgeous color, old hardware and long strings are all my FAV..you are going to love her:) BTW-I was concerned when I read you were getting a Morning After as..you could fit inside;)but then shew..it's a MAM. I am so happy for you but beware..RM is addicting.
ReplyDeleteOMG Amy! That is an incredible color for the MAB. I can't wait for you to show it to us.
