Outdated OOTD

I am so far behind on outfit posts. I don't really have an excuse other than... life. Work did calm a bit in October but Chris's dissertation defense prep accelerated and that meant my shouldering more at home responsibilities the way he did for me. So all is well but all is hectic. I wore this to campus on a long meeting and teaching day over a month ago. I didn't realize until I got there that I had a pretty significant run in my tights. Bummer because I really like these and have had trouble finding the high waisted tight end tights on sale in colors that are not black. Anyone have any leads? I hate paying retail so maybe I will scope ebay? If only we had a Nordstrom Rack here! 

Details:
Tucker for Target dress (found on ebay after realizing I needed more nursing-friendly pieces)
Spanx tights
Miu Miu jeweled flats
La Mer double wrap watch; MBMJ pentagon bracelet, David Yurman necklace

Luck's been a lady of late!

One of my favorite things about trying to keep up to date on google reader is learning about the fun opportunities of blogger giveaways! I've had a few lucky moments in the last few months that I wanted to round up so I could reiterate my gratitude to the bloggers who hosted them.

Tippy of Tres Tippy's CSN giveaway from a few months ago yielded new shower curtains for my bathroom!

Thanks to the Pretty Ladies of In Pursuit of Pretty Things, Chris and I are enjoying a year of Netflix and Netflix Instant!

I am still trying to decide what summer maxi dress to buy with the Forever 21 gift card I won from Carly of Strawberry Heels Forever!

Parker dress worn as blouse from the Shopbop sale section.

And thanks to Roxy of Effortless Anthropologie and Shopbop, I have a new Tucker dress I can also wear as a blouse and black leather Tory Burch Revas.

I haven't done a giveaway in a while, here. And because I was too swamped with work, my blog anniversary has come and gone. But I intend fully to pay forward the incredible generosity of the above bloggers with a giveaway of my own. Thanks again, ladies!
