I AnthroPOLOGIZE

Sick + baby = less blog posts. My poor little girl has been going through some weird virus/sickness since last Monday. She seems to be getting over it now but it sure is taking so long! :(

So I apologize for the lack of usual posts lately. This outfit was actually from Halloween. We took the little one to the mall to trick or treat. I included a photo below of her in her costume :) She must have caught something from there or from the Halloween party we attended last weekend. Who knows.

This whole outfit (with the exception of the shoes) is from Anthropology. When I posted this, I actually went back a few days later to check if there were any more good deals. The pants was $17 (used to be $118) and the sweater was $24 (used to be $98).  It was 40% off on top of the sale price!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! :)

Pants, sweater, cami: Anthropologie
Flats: Aldo
Watch: Michael Kors
Bangle: Forever21

And here was our little kitty trick or treating! :)

A love-hate relationship with Anthropologie

I love the clothes at Anthro... but most of the time my wallet hates them because their clothing is a bit expensive! When I go window shopping, I literally just glance at what is inside that store from the window. I don't even bother going in because I know I will only find clothing that I like that is out of my budget.

But last Sunday, when my lovely hubby gave me the day off (meaning he becomes daddy day-care and I can have my "me, myself and I" time), I decided to stroll around in there. It's so much easier anyway without a huge stroller with me! Their sale section was an additional 40% off the lowest ticketed price! I ended up with so much in the fitting room I had to start doing the "need vs. want" debate. So I left the store with these two items.

This black blouse (as worn in my previous post) retails for $98. It was marked down to $49.95. Then further marked down to $29.95. Plus the 40% off, final price was $17.97!

I fell in love with this pink skirt the moment I laid eyes on it! The retail price was $158. It was marked down to $79.95 then further down to $39.95. Plus the additional 40% off, final price was $23.97! Now how can I just walk away from that?! :) 

Keeping it simple

I chose to dress simple today. Just jeans, a blouse and flats. The weather is climbing back up again so I wore this black blouse from Anthro. Will you believe me if I told you that I got this for $17.97?? I will share my deal find at Anthro in my next post. :)

I am in the process of getting rid of old clothes and those that no longer fit me. Sadly, having a baby just adds a little here and there and some clothes no longer fit right! I want my closet to be simple! Then I realized I only have one black top (and it's sleeveless)! So for a while now, I have been searching for a black blouse. I loved this because: 1) of the price!! 2) it just flows right, and 3) the little crochet design on the sleeves and the bottom makes it more feminine. BUT if this was not on sale (retail value was $98), I wouldn't have bought it! :)
