If At First You Don’t Succeed…

Posted on August 23, 2013 by Rena Anne

This Thursday I put on this cute baby doll dress as part of the Coast to Coast Challenge.

When I went inside, I realized I was so out of it, that I hadn’t even put earrings on. I quickly found some I liked and then remembered how I don’t like how the bodice of this dress gapes, so I added a brown vest I own. When I looked in the mirror, I liked the resulting outfit so much more than just the dress.

And so I asked my husband if he would take my picture again. Yes, ladies, he’s a keeper.

Layering adds a certain element to an outfit and allows you to change the feel. My original look was very girly, but I love how the vest sorta “hardened” the whole outfit.

Happy Fashion Friday! (I almost missed it!)

Who Needs A Store When You Have An IPhone?

Last week, I took the boys to get a haircut. I noticed one of the stylists wearing this adorable shirt with colorful birds on it. I gushed at how much I loved her shirt and asked her where she got it. She responded, “Target. No, the Loft!” In my sneaky stalkerish ways, I immediately got on my phone to find the shirt online. I found it rather quickly, but was super bummed that it was out of stock. Not one to take no for an answer, I contacted my friend, who happens to be a manager for a Loft. She said that they sold out of them quickly, but that she could find one in another store for me. She found it for me and it was 60% off AND they shipped it to my house. All of this before we even left the salon! And all it took was a little persistence, my iPhone and one rock solid connection that hooked me up! Woot!!!!
