And I have a very exciting blogger lady date to look forward to this evening! I am finally getting to meet the fantastic Maca from the Spanglish Life. You may remember she guest posted here while I was on vacation in August. Anyway, she wasn't able to make it to the MN Blogger meetup and since we've been wanting to meet for ages now I just said, ok, then let's plan a lady date! So we are meeting up at a place called Cupcake in St. Paul to have cupcakes and cocktails and just be fancy ladies! Or something. No matter what, I'm looking forward to it!!
I had to get a close up of my bracelets - two of them you've seen, they're from my Stella and Dot party, but the third one I just picked up last weekend at the newly re-opened World Market. You guys have no idea how happy I am to have World Market back in my life! They pulled out of MN about three years ago and I was devastated We loved shopping there for gifts, stocking stuffers at Christmas time, unique kitchen and dining pieces, etc. They have everything for such great prices. So this summer I was at my regular Clothes Mentor which is in the same strip mall that World Market once was - and saw the sign back up on the building and about had a hyper spasm. They opened up about two weeks ago and I just had to go there this weekend, it's the same place I've always loved, possibly even better than before. And I bought this awesome little bracelet for only $4.99!
To top everything off, it's another beautiful day outside. We are suffering a drought, so I know we need rain, but the beautiful sunny days have been so nice and the leaves are getting so pretty outside! I love this time of year!!
Outfit rundown:
Shirt - Boutique in Pequot Lakes
Dress as skirt - Ragstock
Necklace - S&D
Bracelets - S&D, World Market
Shoes - Steve Madden, thrifted
Belt - JCPenney
*Edited to add - I'm trying out Disqus as a commenting system again. I know some of you really dislike it, but they seem to have made some improvements so I'd like to try it out. I hope this will make it easier to have conversations. Please bear with me as we see how this goes!*
Have a lovely lady date! SOunds so fun! And yay -- love those bracelets. I think your bright, colorful outfit matches your sunny, cheerful mood today. :) You're the cutest.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how our moods can swing so wildly in so short a period of time. That happens to me frequently.
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit and so thrilled to hear of your meetup! Details afterward, please!
yay, i'm so glad you're having a better day! that color top looks amazing on you! i love it. i am trying to see if i can make tonight to see you gals, but it's not looking hopeful right now! have fun, though!!
ReplyDeleteNo worries - we have happy hour coming up next week too! So many fun meetup opportunities!

Beth I LOVE this skirt such a beautiful pattern! And what... there is a newly reopened World Market?!?!?! I love that place!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes! It's in Roseville, across from Rosedale in it's exact old spot!! I hear it re-opened in Edina too.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're having a better day! I'm sure all of the lovely bright colors in your ensemble help that a bit :) You look absolutely stunning! I LOVE Ragstock. I have so many pieces from there that I wear all the time. Loving how you belted your tiny waist too! Looks so chic.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful thing to wake up in a bright, happy mood. And your outfit definitely shows that off. I love the bold print and bright red sweater paired together, Beth! Hope you have a wonderful time with your blogger meet-up tonight as well. And I am definitely a fan of Disqus commenting. But that's just me. Hope it works out for everyone!

So far I think it's working - Blogger and Disqus aren't exactly agreeing on comment count, but I'll give it a little bit!
ReplyDeleteOK so many things! first, I am so excited too! Can't wait! Also, if this is what you're wearing, it'll be no problem spotting you. I just love how bright and happy your outfit is today! Also, loooving those bracelets (all of them!) and lastlyyyyyy, I have never been to World Market, I'll have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteOHWOW this is so cute! Do I say that too much? Seriously though I love the blouse, it really pops the print of the skirt. We have a World Market one town over. They've got some neat stuff, but imo I find them to be quite pricey. Ours seems pretty small and limited. Disqus has gotten better, but I still prefer to keep blogger comments on my blog and use email to reply to people when possible.
ReplyDeleteLOL, yes I will have the orange shirt on for sure - might switch to some skinny jeans for evening, but I promise to keep the orange!! LOL. And I'm not sure on Disqus yet. We'll see, there's another platform I might try too. Oh and you'd love World Market!
ReplyDeleteI understand your thoughts on Disqus - and I'm still not sold myself but I'm giving it the rest of today at least! There's another comment platform Mr. Monkey found me I might try instead. I appreciate the feedback though!
ReplyDeleteOh and yes - World Market can be spendy on certain things - but on others (like cheap jewelry) not too bad! Just depends on what you're looking at!
I love the color of that top and the skirt is so pretty! I heard World Market was coming back but I didn't know it happened yet! I love their jewelry!
ReplyDeleteI have found since Disqus updated that I have fewer issues, and I remember to check the dashboard now which has replies to comments.
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't know if ours actually has jewelry or not. It's been awhile since I last went in and I tend to glaze over at all the food and spend too much on tasty things.
I'm glad you're feeling better. You look SO cute! Your evening sounds like fun, too!
ReplyDeleteRed is your color, Beth.
ReplyDeleteCupcakes and cocktails. I will keep repeating this endlessly and giggling, driving everyone 'round me insane :P
Fabulous outfit - you look great in that red.
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit (and I love the bracelets)!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, this is definitely one of my favorites. The colors, pattern and fit are perfect! You look stunning :) Love your bracelets too!
ReplyDeleteI love that they reopened World Market - that place rocks! And so does that beautiful skirt!

A favorite meal and some TV is a great mood lifter :) I love that skirt - the print and colors are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt's the perfect combination!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic skirt and braided bracelet, I love the colors and patterns!
ReplyDeletei love this look! probably because it something i could see myself wearing, but i think the belted cardigan over the full skirt is very flattering on you!
ReplyDeletebtw, i am a big proponent of disqus so i hope you keep it around!
