I'm feeling much better today. I got a good night's sleep, and I'm wearing a cute outfit, so that always helps. I'm wearing my friend Stephanie's Field Game Cardigan knock-off again. I'll be sad to give this back to her tomorrow! I think it looks great with the Vappu dress. Of course, there are not many things that don't look good with this dress. Speaking of dresses, I have a little confession to make. I made a impulse buy last week at the Anthro sale. I ordered the Snowy Egret Shift in a size 8. I had tried it on in a size 6 a couple of months ago and thought is was a little tight, so since it went on sale, I decided to give the 8 a try. I know I'm breaking my agreement with my husband, but I rationalized that I could take it back if I didn't like it and if I did like it I could find a way to keep it. LOL! Desperate times call for desperate measures. Anyway, it took a week to get here, so I finally got it today. I could barely get it on! I told my husband, "Something isn't right here, this fits more like a 4 than an 8." Sure enough, I took it off and looked at the tag - size 4. Bummer! I looked at my receipt, and it says size 8. After I finish typing this, I'm calling customer service to see what my options are. I really hope I can get one in my size, otherwise, I'll always wonder "what if."

Sorry about your Snowy dress....hope you get it sorted.
ReplyDeleteFor a moment there, i thought that was the REAL field game cardi! It's a great knock off. Your whole outfit looks perfect :-)
You make me want to wear my field game! That looks so much like it. It's amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteU r killing me with that sweater!! I never did find the tjmaxx version
ReplyDeleteHahaha, you're so funny with your impulse buys, but I can only encourage your attempts at the Snowy Egret b/c I love mine and it's just too pretty not to own! I hope you find it in your size and what a weird mix-up with the sizing by the way!
ReplyDeleteOh no, what a bummer receiving the wrong size. That dress came and went on the EU site in the blink of an eye! It looks lovely, was it as lovely looking in person?
ReplyDeleteI do like the Vappu. It is a Maeve dress as it looks the same shape as the In A Twinkling?
OK, silly question but I was wondering...where did you get the rug that is under your table? I know, I know...not fashion related, but I've been looking for one similar for about a year now!
ReplyDeleteLove both of those pieces, they are even better together!
ReplyDeleteJen and Cindi: I swear it's the same sweater, just a different label!
ReplyDeletePeggy: My friend is going to look the next time she is in her TJ Maxx. I'll get her to pick you one up if she sees one. I never have any luck at finding anything good in those types of stores, so I just don't bother going. LOL!
Emily: Thanks for the link and the code! I wish I could get it, but my husband would kill me!
Dea: It was so weird! Even the little plastic bag the dress was in was labeled size 8. I guess it's bad karma for breaking my agreement with my husband! LOL!
Louise: It is a Maeve dress and it is the shape as the In a Twinkling, just different fabric.
Susan: No problem! Glad you like the rug. I got it from Pottery Barn. It's the Color-Bound Seagrass Rug. Here's the link to it: http://www.potterybarn.com/products/color-bound-seagrass-rug/?pkey=cnatural-fiber-rugs
Sarah: Thanks! I think so too!
Wow! That looks so similar to the actual one. I never would have noticed. You have on one of my fave color combos--navy and yellow.
ReplyDeleteOh I was so happy to see my TJ Maxx had re-stocked and I was able to get one! Last time there were only solids and one striped with a hole. Today they even had a grey version too.

I picked up a navy field game cardi at marshalls today for $20! I swear it looks the same, just different lace. Score!!!
