The Limited has a lot of great wear-to-work looks right now. Here are my favorites:

Exploring the March Anthropologie Catalog
When I received the March Anthropologie catalog in the mail the other day, my eye was immediately drawn to these few items:
How adorable is this dress? I'm not sure how it would look on me; I have a feeling it would look best on brunettes, but I still love it. And I don't think that this dress needs to be paired with a pair of showstopper shoes; just a basic pair of nude pumps would work.
Kea Pump (from Aldo)... $24.49 (clearance)
Mudd Sophie Heels (from Kohl's)... $49.99
Kutie Knot Platform Pump (from Payless)... $26.99
I really like how this tank was styled in the catalog. Unfortunately, it's not receiving very many positive reviews online. Most reviewers are complaining that it is boxy and unflattering, but I think that it would probably look best tucked into a pair of pants or skirt, as seen on the model here:
The last item that I really liked was this tank:
This is the Swirlscape Tank in green ($48.00), although it looks more blue to me in the catalog photo.
What were your favorite items from the new catalog? Have you tried on any of these yet? Your opinion?

March Old Navy Wishlist: Tops
I cannot wait until spring finally arrives. Especially since we just received several more inches of snow yesterday! Here are some great spring tops (and a jacket!) that I like from Old Navy.

Own a Piece of Emma
Some lucky duck is going to get to own two of my favorite tops worn by Jayma Mays as Emma Pillsbury on Glee! Both items are currently listed on EBay, and thanks to Nicolle at What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear for tracking down these great finds!
The first top is the Anthropologie's Dusky Dolphin blouse. It is listed as "New Without Tags" and available in size M 8, which would fit me! The current bid is about $24.00 with three days left in the auction. Good luck!
The second top is a TWG cashmere cardigan. It is also size M 8-10 and "New Without Tags". The set price on this one right now is $180.00, (or make an offer), very much out of my price range.
Both are super cute tops, and I wish they were in my closet!

Fashion Inspiration: Reese Witherspoon II
I just realized that there are a whole slew of Polyvore sets that I have not shared yet! Including this Reese Witherspoon inspired look: (I am in love with these boots and that bag!)

Off the Runway: Carolina Herrera Spring 2011
When I first saw Carolina Herrara's Spring 2011 Resort and Ready-to-Wear collections, I fell in love with a few pieces. So I am delighted every time I see one of the dresses pop up on the body of a celebrity. It confirms that I'm not the only one who likes her "matronly" designs! One of the looks that I was fond of was this skirt and top combination from her Resort 2011 collection:
I especially love the blouse. Camilla Belle wore it way back in July 2010 at the Cartier International Polo Day in England and I like that she kept things true to the original look:
I think that she looks great in this dress and I love that she paired it with a pair of nude slingbacks. It is such a sophisticated and ladylike look, very appropriate for the event.
Another dress that I fell in love with was this one from Herrera's Ready-to-Wear collection:
When I first saw this dress, I fell in love with the neckline, but not so much the bottom of the dress. I originally thought that I would prefer it with a black pencil skirt, but have since changed my mind, although a couple of inches shorter would have me completely sold on it. Amy Adams recently wore this dress to The Hollywood Reporter's Big 10 party on February 24th:
I think that this dress looks great on her, however, I would have preferred to see this look with her hair up, or at the least, not draped over and hiding the gorgeous neckline! Maybe she was feeling a little too self-conscious about showing too much up top?

Under $100: Vanessa Minnillo
Continuing with Vanessa Minnillo, I prefer this look below to the one that she wore here.
I really like the top that she has on and I prefer these skinny jeans to the light-washed jeggings that she wore in her other look. I put together a Look for Less, or rather two of them, for this outfit. One outfit is comprised of items $50-$100 while the other uses items under $50, which is the look that I think I prefer.
What do you think?

Fashion Redemption: Vanessa Minnillo
I stumbled across this website called OutfitID while creating one of my Reese Witherspoon Polyvore sets a while back, and wasted spent a fair amount of time just perusing the different women and their outfits. I eventually came across this look on Vanessa Minnillo:
Words just cannot express how much I hate this look. Between the light-wash "jeggings" and the pale pink sweatshirt, I'm really not sure which I hate more. I am surprised to see Vanessa Minnillo wearing this, because looking at all of her other outfits featured on this site, she appears to have a higher lever of sophistication than what I am seeing with this pairing. Am I missing something with this outfit that makes it fashionable?
Anyway. I decided to put together a redemption outfit for poor Vanessa, and here is what I came up with. It may not be too many steps up from her look, but I do think that it is at least an improvement. And an added bonus that each item featured is less than $100.
So how did I do with this one? A slight improvement?

Day 6: 20 of My Favorite Things
In no particular order:
1. The color purple (the color, not the book).
2. Dancing (play me any kind of music and I will try to dance to it).
3. "Me" time.
4. Books (is there anything more relaxing than curling up on the couch with a good book and a cup of coffee? I think not).
5. The colors of Autumn (but only on the trees. I hate yellow, orange, and red on anything else).
6. Chocolate, especially dark. And Death by Chocolate ice cream.
7. Snuggling with my babies.
8. Etsy.com.
9. Shoes, especially T-straps.
10. Office and organizational supplies (I love buying them, I just never get around to using them).
11.Cheese
12. Country Boys (Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Dierks Bently, etc. Nothing more delicious than a good looking man who can sing, and has a southern accent to boot!)
13. Antiques.
14. Baking
15. The feeling of clean sheets on a freshly showered body.
16. Mr. Goodbar
17. Music that I can dance to.
18. Christmas (for the time spent with family, not the gifts).
19. Fashion from the 40s and 50s.
20. The one that got away. A story for another day...
