Bright and Colorful Pre-fall OOTD and some Anthro sale chit chat

Happy Monday!  I hope you had a great weekend! Despite battling being under the weather I had a pretty good weekend.  In case you missed it I posted a new batch of clothes for sale on my sale blog HERE so check it out!

This is the official last week of summer and I couldn't be happier.  I am so ready for fall...bring it on!  When we lived in CA, and even TX we never really got "seasons".  It was usually either hot or cold, nothing much in between. Now that we live in the mid-west we actually get to experience 4 seasons throughout the year!  I can't wait for the leaves to start changing colors and the pumpkin patches to open...I absolutely love this time of year!  It's only suppose to be in the 60's and 70's most of the week here so the change is already happening.

Here's an outfit I wore on Friday...it was a little chilly out in the morning so an outfit with a cardigan was quite appropriate:

Mixed Bouquet Blouse-Anthropologie/ Cardigan-Target/ Skimmer Legging Jeans-Gap/ Lemon Stick Wedges-Anthropologie/ Mixed Spectra Necklace-Anthropologie/ Earrings-Francesca's Collections/ Enameled Bracelet Set (some of them)-Anthropologie/ Ring-Forever 21

A little bright and colorful?  Perhaps.  Sometimes that's how I roll.

So if you're an Anthro fan you no doubt noticed all the sale action happening this weekend. I have to admit, I was pulled in.  BUT, I restrained from going too nuts.  On Saturday I used some return credit and the 20% off discount to purchase these:

AG Stevie Ankle Color
in Green

I couldn't be happier that my search for mint jeans has finally come to an end.  Although these aren't dead on "mint" they are close enough for me and I actually think I like the richer color of these better than a true mint anyways.  Check that one off the list!

Then this morning I woke up to find that there was another fun Anthro sale (two in two days, say it isn't so!!).  I was so excited to see that a pair of shoes I've been lusting after was marked down:

Joppa Heels

I'll be using my birthday discount and some birthday money I was gifted to add these to my closet today.  They are so pretty...love them!  And so perfect for fall (but I love that they are a color that can be used year round too)!   

I'll be doing some clothing shopping for fall today; not for me but for my crew.  My oldest came out this morning in his favorite pair of jeans and they were 1-too tight, and 2-total high waters.  The kid grew a TON this summer!  Luckily we had back-ups that were looking ok still.  So it's fall clothes shopping time for him, for sure.  My other two get lots of hand me downs from my oldest, but of course they get some fun new things each season too.  It's only fair!  I don't know about your house, but in this house the second something isn't "fair" I hear about it from them! =) Thankfully boy's clothes has come a long way in the past few years and it's actually pretty fun to shop for them.  The only problem is my oldest has to be with me or sitting next to me looking at everything online and approving everything before I push "purchase"...he's a picky little guy!  Off to check out some sites...

 Have a great day!
