More Birds from Boden OOTD


I wore Boden's Alicia Dress on numerous occasions recently. The first time was to host Christmas at our house and then soon after that to teach early in the semester. Chris bought it for me for Christmas, though I picked it out myself. The dress is still available in a number of color schemes, on clearance via the Boden website. I am wearing a size 10 and think the dress runs a little large. It's very forgiving so I probably could have been fine with an 8. It is very comfortable and soft but the fabric is thick and tailored enough to feel sufficiently professional. It was definitely worth the sale price, in my opinion.

A deal on my favorite tights!

A outfit from 2010 with my beloved heather bittersweet tights

This weekend I took a quick "tights inventory" to see what needed to be tossed, what would be wearable for another year, what I've misplaced, etc. Afterwards I ran a search to see where I could find the best prices on some replacements for the castoffs. And I noticed that Spanx, who make my most favorite tights (due to their lack of shiny appearance and overall durability) is having a decent sale!*

I was thrilled especially to see my most favorite styles have been resurrected after a few years of falling off the map. I used to love my heather gray and heather bittersweet Spanx tights. I wore them constantly until they were basically threadbare. And I was super sad I couldn't replace them. I'd scour every TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Nordstrom Rack I'd visit in the hopes to find a secret stash of them to no avail. I like the heather finish because it seems to match everything and give me an option that looks a bit less severe than straight up black (which I also wear a lot during tights season).

*Sale tip: The sale prices can be found on both their website and their "official" ebay store. Stock overlaps a bit but isn't exactly the same so it's worth visiting both places if you are seeking specific color/size combos or styles.

I'll be drawing winners of the eShakti giveaway today or tomorrow. I'm sorry for the delay! This week is a bit nuts, schedule-wise. Today I have a long day of meetings then back-to-back teaching. I leave early and won't be home until pretty late.  I'm also busy prepping for a startup obligation. Tomorrow I will be representing Covey as part of a Next Pittsburgh panel and event showcasing "What's Next in Tech." If you are in Pittsburgh you should come check it out!
