Jewel Tones

I love to wear jewel tones in the colder months as a way to add color without being obnoxious - I'm looking at you, my bright floral dresses tucked away in my closet just begging to be worn.  Not that I wouldn't throw on tights and boots with a good floral dress now, especially when the temperatures randomly get a little warmer and spring fever sets in, but sometimes I'm not in the mood for so much, you know, much.  This Anthropologie sweater has been a favorite of mine ever since I scored it in the sale room a few months ago.  I love the crocheted look and side sheer panels because it's something different than your typical cable knit.  With the purple scarf and burgundy bag, it's the perfect combo of jewel tones.  Since it's so light and breezy, you can even take it into spring sans scarf and with a statement necklace instead.  Here's to hoping Mr. Groundhog doesn't see his shadow in a couple days and we get an early spring!

That Time My Face Was Featured on Anthropologie's Website

Ok, so it wasn't exactly my face because that was cut out of the picture.  But still!  I'm sitting at my desk at work, minding my own business and winding down for the day, when that glorious little Instagram notification popped up on my phone.  "Anthropologie added a photo of you."  Ok, that's cool.  I didn't realize Anthro and I were bff's like that, but cool!  I open the app and see a pretty collage with a bunch of photos, myself included.  A freak-out, dance party, OH EM GEE moment followed, then a text to Chelcey.  Of course I had to screen shot that sucker too, for proof. 


So here's the deal - Anthropologie is starting an online photo gallery and they want YOUR photos.  They say to post your favorite Anthro finds on Instagram with #Anthropologie.  Don't forget the hash tag.  It's very important.  Add some more on there while you're at it!


Here's a snippet of my photo.  You can find the entire gallery at www.anthropologie.com/yourstyle
This was such a nice surprise and great way to end the work day!

Shout out if you get featured too!
