365 Project- Day 4

Playing with the timer on my camera... too bad I couldn't get my feet and my head all in the same shot. Still, it was interesting to see what popped up on the screen afterwards.

A Quick Post

To all those who still take the time to read my rather neglected blog... thank you.  I am trying to update myself on all of your blogs by simply going down the list, trying to get to one or two a day.  Nobody has been forgotten, and I'm finding more wonderful blogs to attempt to keep up with every day.  So if you haven't heard from me in a while, be patient, I'll get to you soon!

And because every post needs pictures and I'm too frazzled to think of a Tuesday's Treasure, instead I leave you with some of my current Anthropologie favorites.

First, some fun wall letters!  They're supposedly for a child's room, but they could go anywhere (well, in my house they could).

This next is a beautiful, flowing blouse that would fit nicely into my closet.

And because I am all about comfort over style, this little chemise really spoke to me that hey, I could have both!

An Awesome Find

Yesterday afternoon was spent in my favorite antique store with Kiddo and my wonderful mother-in-law.  We browsed for hours, delighting over the always unique finds that neither of us could afford.  One of the booths keeps second hand pieces of fashion (and i use this term lightly), although many items still have their original tags attached and are essentially brand new.  And it was here that I found the most amazing article of clothing that I've seen in a long time...

a lime green, swede cloak.  With fringe, no less.  It's perfect. It screamed my name.  And it happily hangs on my door, waiting for our first outing together. 

Now, I'm not a cowgirl, so I typically avoid fringe at all cost, but this was too good to pass up.

The color of this photo is off, but I love the detailing of the clasps.  Simple and elegant.

What did you do this weekend?  Did you have any amazing finds?

What Not to Wear, Polyvore Style

So I thought I'd play around with Polyvore this morning, for lack of much coherency to do ought else, and it occurred to me that most people design looks that they wish they could afford.  So I decided to design a look that I simply can't see anybody pulling off.  And I will say from the start: for most attire, there is always somebody out there who can, indeed, rock it.  If anybody can make any of this look good, I'd like to shake their hand.

what not to wear by sheara121 featuring Marc Jacobs jackets

Let's start with the centerpiece.  It appears as if it's supposed to be a dress of some sort, but the fabric selection and haphazard  piecing together seems terribly unappealing.  Definitely not worth the $1350 they're asking.

The smaller dress to the left looks like a splatter of paint on what used to be a pattern of fireworks.  I'm simply not feeling it.


The jacket.  You'd have to be extra-special to carry this one, which is about the politest thing I can muster the courage to say.  


The belt just screams "Talk to me, please, somebody!  Why else would I be wearing this?"


The shoes, ditto.  Either that or classy hooker shoes, I can't decide.


And the ring.  Working retail has put me into contact with all sorts of people, many of whom would adore this ring and wear it proudly.  But still, it simply says to me that this person needs attention, not that they have any sort of actual style sense.


So there you have it.  Style advice in an incoherent manner from Three Cat Night.

Well...

As I currently cannot upload pictures from my computer, I've decided instead to compile a set of clothing that I'd wear were I accompanying Alli from One Pearl Button to Italy this summer.  And, of course, were I not pregnant and had my lovely, early marriage sized body back.  Thanks to Polyvore for the help!


To start with, a cute summery dress.  Lots of options, of course, but I decided to stick with one that has cap sleeves, as simple straps don't flatter my wide shoulders.

Add a wide brimmed hat to keep the sun from scorching my fair skin, and, of course, set off the fact that it's the only accessory that I can rock without a doubt!

Not sure what it's called, but I love the little shawl thing, to add a slight touch of elegance for an evening out.

Wedges are my favorite for being able to walk and still look nice.  Heels, no.  Wedges, yes.  Go figure.

And two bags, one large one for long day trips and a smaller one for dinner.  Both of which have long handles that can lay over the neck and rest on the opposite shoulder.  Nothing short that somebody could easily snatch out of my hand!

To top it off, a little necklace, just to add a bit of class.

Wish Alli luck with all of her research this summer!
