Breakfasting at Lunch..

Hello all!  All hell broke loose today as it is reaching up into the 90's today and tomorrow.  People, as expected, are starting to complain about the heat already.  Seattleites just can't be pleased.  :)  I'm not complaining though because warmer weather means DRESSES and SKIRTS.  My friend, Jean, who has impeccable taste in fashion, and I have declared this week amongst ourselves as dresses and skirts week.  We're trying to NOT wear pants the whole week, which is hard to do here.  Maybe we'll even carry this through next week since it was a short week. 

So I went to Anthro yesterday and didn't find what I was looking for.  I really wanted to try on the Roped-In dress and the Breakfasting dress.  But the store I went to had none of those around.  I left disappointed, so I decided to try again today, but at a different store.  I just got back from the Uvillage Anthro and they had a bunch of the Breakfasting dresses.  I grabbed a Small, knowing that it ran huge. 

I know this dress got pretty bad reviews online.  Everything from fit issues, to fabric issues, to the pleated skirt.  I would have to agree that if it were at it's original price of $138, it would never tempt me in getting it.  But at half price, I thought it was worth it.  The Small fit perfectly, although I couldn't get it to zip up cause the zipper was in the back (how do you reviewers deal with this issue???), but I know it will.  The fabric itself is a little thick, but then it's nothing I can't handle since we have pretty mild summers here.  I also thought the pleated skirt, although accentuated the hips a tad bit, was nothing too bothersome.  Many of you know that I've been looking for bridal shower and rehearsal dinner dresses and for now, I think I'll keep this as a contender.  It'll hang in my closet with the tags on for a little while until I truly decide to keep it.

Today I wore a dress I got for my friend's wedding last year.  I've only worn it once and that was to her wedding.  I saw this dress floating around on Ebay but there hasn't been much love for it...and I'm not sure why.  I think it might be the silk material?  The kimono style doesn't appeal to everyone?  Anyway, I still love the beautiful patterns and colors.  I just wished it was a tab bit longer since I'm wearing it at work and I feel a bit uncomfortable. 

Dress - Anthropologie (Name????)

Cardigan - J. Crew Featherweight BF Cardi

Shoes - J. Crew

Can I just also say that J. Crew makes the most uncomfortable shoes ever?  I have three pairs of shoes from them, and I guess it took me three pairs to learn my lesson.  These brown wedges are by far the most comfortable and even then I can't walk more than maybe 3 blocks in them. 

OK, off my rant!  Have a wonderful day, ladies!!! :)
