GOOD EVENING, SAN DIEGO

First and foremost, my heart goes out to the victims of the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Please visit this USA Today article to find out ways that you can help.

I hope none of you woke up an hour late this morning because of Daylight Savings! I turned all of my clocks an hour forward last night after realizing at 11 p.m. that it was actually midnight. Hmmph.

I managed to snag the Precious Particulars blouse during Anthropologie's sale two weeks ago! I had reviewed it a few months ago and was ecstatic to find it marked down. It's a good thing that I logged on super early to buy it because my size was all sold out by the afternoon! Yowza!

precious particulars blouse, anthropologie
sweater vest, j.crew outlet
toothpick cords, j.crew (now on sale!)
kinnetic flats, steve madden
nest ring, etsy
gold bangle, kate spade




There's something fantastically 70s about this blouse. The big bow neck tie, cuffed/puffed sleeves, and even the groovy green color and print all remind me of something Anchorman's Veronica Corningstone would wear. Though she'd probably pair it with a fantastic nubby pencil skirt instead of corduroys and a sweater vest. Hmmm, I sense a future OOTD inspiration...

    You look so, so fantastic, Amy K- I wish I could pull off half the things and half the styles you can....sigh...For now, I must be satisfied to live vicariously through you.

    LOVE the blouse with the vest! I will have to try that. I'm saving wearing mine until St. Patty's day...I was going to wear it today actually, then realized how perfect it will be for Thursday!

    I'm glad you were able to find the outfit marked down! I love it when that happens; makes me feel smart for waiting. =)

    And this outfit is bold but classy at the same time. I love it. =)

    I too scored this blouse on sale a few weeks ago - and glad I did! I like how you paired it with the vest - I went with vintage flare jeans and kept the blouse basic. I might need to add a cute tailored vest next time! ;) Very cute on you!

    Anchorman is my husband's favorite movie and I am subjected to him quoting and requoting it on a daily basis.
    My neighbors even named their new puppy Baxter and my husbands eyes flamed in jealousy that he didn't think of it first.

    I think you look every bit as hot as Veronica Corningstone in your blouse.
    Now you should just get out there and buy yourself a bottle of Sex Panther...
