Twin Outfits!

Hello Readers!

Yesterday, when I arrived at work, my friend and fellow TA Megan greeted me and noted that we had similar outfits. This revelation was amusing at first, but what we found even more amusing was every time someone else noted the similarities in our outfits.

What can I say- great minds think alike!

Retail Details:

Green and Grey Bead Necklace: aerie

Blue Draped Blouse: Ann Taylor

Green Cashmere Cardigan: Martin & Osa (purchased right before it closed)

Charcoal Wool Pants: J. Crew (thank you for carrying extended lengths J. Crew!)

Charcoal Pumps: Cole Haan

Anthro- It's Not You, It's Me

Dear Anthropologie,

Let me begin by thanking you for the lovely clothing you create and sell. Your store is so lovely, but I think we need to spend some time apart.

You see, I really wish that we could spend more time together, and that more of your clothing could befriend my clothing, but my graduate school stipend does not permit me to spend as much money on your clothes as I or you would like me to spend. When I am done with graduate school, and I have a job, I promise that we can spend more time together.

Please know that there will always be room for your merchandise in my closet- but for the time being my stipend restricts the amount of clothing I can spend at your store. I look forward to browsing your sales, websites, and catalogues for the time being, and I sincerely look forward to investing more in your collections when I have a full time job.

Thank you for the great times and stylish wardrobe!

Sincerely,

Laura

Girls' Night Out: Fashion, Fondue, and SATC 2

Good Evening Readers!

Last Wednesday, this lovely quartet (Erin, Me, Angela, and Emily) hit the town for a night of fashion, fondue, and Sex & The City 2. While the movie didn't win a place in my top ten, it was a great movie to see for our outing. We started the evening at The Melting Pot on Delmar for Fondue and then moved the party to a nearby movie theatre to "catch up" on the lives of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda (and by catching up, I mean watching the movie).

I looked forward to this night for many reasons, one being that it was a great time to wear a neglected dress from my wardrobe. This particular dress is a mini dress from White House/Black Market (Spring 2008) and it is paired with a thick, black belt from Banana Republic (Fall 2009); my green pendant from Target; and a black, floral headband from J. Crew (Spring 2010). Hidden from the photo are a pair of very comfortable black satin peep toes from White House/Black Market.

I would like to point out the cute outfits of my friends (good job ladies!). Erin went for a glam-safari look with dangly hoop earrings, a gold sweater with a brown belt and very cute olive-green cargo pants. Angela's outfit is mostly from The Limited (the have a great work collection right now, and if you are a student or educator you can receive a discount), and I think Emily bought her dress during a recent trip to Southern California.

What a fun summer night!

P.S.- While I did not watch the SATC series or the first SATC movie, out of curiosity I took a "Which SATC character are you" quiz (three quizzes, actually), and I found out that I am most like Charlotte. She seems the most like me, and I absolutely loved her wardrobe!

Question: if you could raid any character's wardrobe from SATC 2, who's wardrobe would you raid? Carrie? Samantha? Charlotte? Miranda?
