Bows and Birds OOTD

I wore this printed cotton Twinkle by Wenlen dress to campus last week. It was an old Gilt Fuse purchase (from when Gilt Fuse still existed). I paired it with a "Precious Metals" bow cardigan from Anthropologie. One of my more creative students made the colorful tissue flower and gave it to me. I thought it was pretty cool. I still hate the lighting in my office but I often forget to turn on my table lamp to lessen its harsh effects. I hope my hair isn't so green in person!

Honeycrisp Sweater Coat

The rain and returned chill in the air have me scrambling to wear some favorites before it is time to store them for spring/summer. As such, I broke out this sweatercoat from many seasons/years passed (fall 2006, to be exact). Anthropologie named it Honeycrisp and it does describe the warm mustard yellow color accurately. 

I was desperate to find this sweater coat when I saw it in the "Sunday Styles" section of the New York Times. They ran a photo of it and other jackets/sweaters during the holiday shopping season as gift options. I knew I wanted to gift it to myself asap but the Anthro retail price point was high for a sweater. I managed to score one on ebay for far less.

Tibi Honeycrisp sweatercoat. Somewhat similar jacket here and here.

Vintage leather satchel from Coach. Similar ones can be found on ebay.

Underneath, I wore:
Twinkle by Wenlan dress (also from Anthro-- maybe winter 2008? I don't know its name)
Similar spring/summer appropriate dresses, here and here.
