The last time I wore this dress, I was headed for a night out on the town. This time, I decided to dress things down a bit for an afternoon of aimless meandering. Although I don’t wear it often enough, this jacket is one of my fav-o-rites. It’s incredibly warm and cozy, plus it has a hood. Bonus!

Seeing me in jeans is a rare occurrence indeed, but every now and then I do get the urge to don a pair. I’ve tried to put my trusty yellow pumps away for the season twice already only to keep digging them back out again. If this keeps up, someone’s going to have to pry these things off of my cold, frost-bitten toes this winter!
This weekend was pretty laid back. I had a bunch of items on my to-do list, but the only one I got around to was stopping by the C. Wonder store opening.
The place was jam-packed, but I managed to snag some free brownies, a new gold and tortoise-shell watch, and a magnificent yellow and green envelope clutch. In case you’re wondering just what the heck C. Wonder is, I overheard one shopper describing it to her friends as “a mix of Tory (Burch), (Jonathan) Adler, and Lily (Pulitzer)”. I have to agree that her description just about summed things up, and I would just add that the C. Wonder price-points are a lot more wallet-friendly. For instance, my new clutch was $24, and the watch was $68 (a far cry from this $250 Michael Kors Chronograph I’ve been pining over for the past year).

In a completely unplanned turn of events, I’m posting my third blue outfit in a row this week. Let’s see how long I can keep up the blue streak!
I ordered this sweater online the day the Missoni for Target collection became available (before the infamous site crash). Unfortunately I got an email the following day stating the item was on backorder, and I didn’t receive it until about a week ago. To be honest, I was a little nervous about its arrival. Why? Because in the month or so that I waited for my sweater to ship, I saw numerous people wearing some of the other pieces in real life and… let’s just say I was less than impressed.
Fortunately, I wound up really liking my sweater once it finally arrived. The quality is pretty decent, and the design is kind of funky and unusual (especially the sleeves, which I LOVE). I have to admit that I’m glad most of the other items were already sold out when I made my purchase, because I think I could have easily gotten caught up in the frenzy and overspent on some lackluster pieces. And let’s be real guys, I’d much rather scour eBay and score an authentic vintage or second-hand Missoni piece (like this scarf).
And what about you all? Did you purchase anything from this collection, and if so, how do you feel about it now that the madness has died down?
