I've been working seemingly endless hours lately. This is the price I pay for being an overachiever, even now that I've left school. I absolutely love this outfit. This dress is one of my "White Whales" that I managed to get my hands on thanks to eBay. I remember this coming out a few years ago when I couldn't afford Anthropologie prices. I grabbed two sizes off eBay when it popped up and thankfully one was a perfect fit. Thanks to the awesome Trade Market on Effortless Anthropologie, I was even able to sell the extra dress to another Anthro fan!This really has everything I could ever want in a dress; lace, cream ribbons, a bow, a poofy skirt, and a perfectly defined waist. I truly think it looks best with some rugged brown boots and a utilitarian bag. With the beautiful Winding Ruffle boots, I still keep everything ultra girly.
I'm excited I waited this long to post actually, because it means I'm onto a new book!The Hound of the Baskervilles;
Dress: Anthropologie Hour by Hour dress
Cardigan: Anthropologie Wish You Were Here cardi
Bag: Urban Outfitters BDG Primary Satchel
Necklace: Silver birdcage (gift from a friend)
Boots: Anthropologie Winding Ruffle boots
This weekend is the San Francisco Treasure Island Music Festival. My favourite band in the world, Belle & Sebastian, are headlining on Sunday and I can't wait. I've put off listening to their new album in order to experience the new material live for the first time. I can't even say how much live music means to me. There's nothing like the energy of the musicians and watching a whole room of people feel as thrilled as you to hear a great song.

ReplyDeleteOh wow, I never thought that much of the Hour by Hour dress; it seemed way too structured. It looks absolutely stunning on you though! And those beautiful brown accessories against it -- amazing! Love this look :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the Treasure Island Festival! I went the last two years but can't do it this weekend. So envious of you getting to see Belle & Sebastian!

Cindy - Thank you! It's a really subtle piece that goes perfectly with so many outfits.
ReplyDeleteAnjali - Thanks! It became one of my favourite dresses pretty quickly after I tried it on.
B&S were absolutely amazing. I was lucky enough to run into Stuart after and he said they're planning to return soon! Keep an eye out.
Lori - Thank you very much. My hair always seems like a mess to me. ;)
Kristina - eBay was pretty good to me for this dress, so good luck! The bag was a bit pricey for what it is but a classic satchel like I wanted was hard to find cheap.
Alissa--Someone on EA just posted that a size 8 Southward Stop Dress is appearing on their wishlist. Isn't this the size you are looking for?

Thank you for the heads up, Tien. By the time I was able to check Anthro, it seems it was gone. Oh well!
