Stuff I Wore: Use It or Lose It Day #5

Similar cardigan
Boots here, worn here and here
Similar tank here and here

I haven't worn this tank in forever and I think it's just a product of having to  much stuff in a poorly lit closet.  This beauty was crammed all the way in the back, lost and forgotten.  I really love the colors and the fabric is really good quality.  Kohl's really does a great job with their designer lines. (i.e. Lauren Conrad)  I've put it back to the front and plan on pairing it with some leggings soon.

As a recap, this is the fourth item of the ten.  First, I got rid of the tortuous brown shoes.  Second, I kept the comfy sweater dress.  Third, I tossed the weird bow shirt.

And then I got rid of items five, six and seven.  The gray Levi's jeans and button front pencil skirt are just waaaay too tight on me.  The Levis are a few years old and in that time I've gotten too old for low rise jeans.  Seriously, when did I think it was OK to have my butt crack hanging out!?!?  That gorgeous printed shirt is from White House Black Market.  Sadly, it gives me under arm boob and the halter strings threaten to choke me.  So, in this post, I got rid of clothes that give me extra lumps where they don't belong.

Stuff I Wore: Clean Slate

My new camera arrived in the mail a few days ago, a Canon S95.  I am just not ready for a DSLR, but I am going to start perusing used ones on Ebay in the coming months.  So, I am going to overload you with noisy OOTD photos one last time.  I am just going to rip it off like a band aid and show you my remaining outfits in one fell swoop and start the new year off with better photos.  My New Year's resolution (besides volunteering more) is to provide you with better quality photos.  This probably means I'll have to start enlisting the help of The Scot in the mornings to take some outdoor shots.  On second thought, maybe I'll just get a tripod.
This first outfit is composed completely of items I purchased on Black Friday and while Anthro ran their most recent 50% off sale items promotion.  I was really skeptical about the Triad Peasant Blouse, but it's such a great versatile piece.  I thought it looked too short and Little House on the Prairie-esque.  I was very wrong.  I've also worn it out after work with just a pair of jeans.

And here are more Anthro items that I got at the 50% off sale.  The Endless Corduroy Skirt is so darn cute.

OOTD 12.15.11 (Polyvore Set)

This casual outfit is a result of my J. Crew outlet outing with my sister.  My sister and I disagree almost completely on fashion.  She's more khakis and polo shirts and I'm more...well, bright pink and rhinestones.  There is really only one thing we agree on, and that is J. Crew.  When we walked into the outlet, my sister said, "I feel like I'm home."

I apparently don't make my bed on Sundays...don't tell my mom.

And I organized this last outfit around my Secret Santa gift from work.  Somehow my secretay knew I would love a sparkly leopard print scarf!
