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! :)

Finally!

We finally have some cool weather today! High of 71 degrees! I got so excited I couldn't decide which "cold weather" outfit to wear! :)

So I chose this light sweater from Forever 21. I wore it on top of a satin blouse from Gap, green skinny jeans from Zara and my Intyce boots from Steve Madden I've been wanting to wear since the start of the "ber" months. HSN was having this Steve Madden special a couple of months ago and these boots were selling fast! It was hard choosing the color, I wanted all of them! In the end, I ended up with this since I already have black and brown boots. Who doesn't love those "4 easy payments of $..." deals?! :)

Into the green

It was one of those days where I just wanted to dress up with nothing really going on. I decided to go stroll around at the mall. Three women walked up to me and asked me where I got my shoes. The Zara store here did not have it at the time I wanted them. Their online store was not live yet. So I did get these shoes in the store but halfway around the world during a visit to my hometown! :)

Flowers in bloom

Today's closet item is this pastel pink cafe capri pants from Jcrew. It was on sale online for $13.99. I am petite so the length was perfect for me - no alterations needed! :) The scarf immediately caught my attention several months ago at World Market. It has shades of pastel pink so I paired it with these pants and one of my favorite wedges. The colors just makes the outfit lively!

Date night

You never miss date nights with your other half until it comes to a point where you never get a chance to have them. The last movie we saw in the theaters was Avatar. Yes it has been THAT long! Now that our little one is more manageable, we took the opportunity to watch a movie while the mother-in-law was in town. So I just threw on this simple outfit and enjoyed the evening!

Sunny day

It was 90F today! Isn't it supposed to be Spring?? The hubby, myself and our little munchkin will be traveling overseas in less than 2 months. I can't wait to play with the little one on the soft white sands and just listen to splashing waves. The last time I saw the beach was four years ago!

I felt really sunny today and am still in the color blocking mood so decided to wear these green bermuda shorts. Wore it with my matching yellow sandals and belt and a cotton white tee. The green and yellow is making me want a Matcha Freeze!!!

shoe stretch

Am I the last person to know about shoe stretching?? They basically stretch the brand new shoe for you so it won't hurt the heck out of your toes the first time you wear them. After all the band aids, why didn't I know of this sooner?!

Closet item for today: girly shorts. With the exception of the shoes and bag, I got everything else on this outfit on clearance.

Floral shorts: $10 (70% off on top of already reduced price)
Jacket: $14.99 (50% off on top of already reduced price)
Tank: $5
Watch: $24.99 (Black friday sale 2 years ago)

And I clearly remember how much I paid for them especially if it was such a good deal!

Friday is my Monday

When people leave early or most are on vacation, that is when I go into the office! I spend my afternoon in my cubicle while Sophia is in Daddy day care. I call this my "break" and the one chance I get to dress up a little bit.

Today's closet item is this printed dress. I LOVE ZARA period. I shop clearance with the exception of Zara and Forever 21 (they sell their clothes fairly cheap already). Through the years I've collected pieces from Zara that I think will last forever (as long as I remain a size 2 and my feet don't grow any bigger). Some of them I got on sale most of them retail. But of course I wouldn't buy a $79 plain cotton shirt. I bought this dress right before I found out I was pregnant. So more than 2 years later I fit in them again! It was warm today - 92F! I wore this light sweater at work to make it appropriate for the office.

Lucky purge

I have over 2 dozens of Lucky magazines stored away on our bookshelf. So today I left 3 and sent the others off to recycling. I ripped off the pages where I can get inspiration from and put them in a binder for easy viewing. The binder had to be bought using this outfit (good thing hubby didn't have any spare laying around)! I find so many excuses to get out of the house even just for an hour! :)

These cargo pants has been stored in my closet for over 5 years!! I remember the HUGE Forever 21 store in LA where I got these. I don't quite remember the last time I wore it. Paired with a light blue and white gingham shirt and one of my fave sandals from Zara, I felt very comfy buying my  $5 "fashion" binder!
