OOTD: Inspector gadget.

(Who else loved that show? Penny was my fave... she was so smart! :) )

I've been so busy around here, lovies. I wish I could say it's been some big preparation for the blog, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with the blog. First, I was sick, which made me a zombie to the world, then I my immune system found its way back to me, and then things got busy. House-buying busy... yay! We're in closing right now on a townhouse, and I'm thrilled. But it always seems good news comes with a bad side, and the bad side is the inspection (which occurred this morning) didn't quite go to plan. We need to call in a structural engineer (the big-wigs) to investigate some foundation issues. Great... anyone with home experience knows foundation issues are analogous to car transmission issues-- the biggest, baddest and (typically) most expensive concerns. If the issues are bad enough, we may have to walk away. Boo. But I'm hoping for the best... and hopefully, my evenings will be mine again some time soon. So I can come back to you, my readers, and give you what you want: more gratuitous photos of moi. (Ha!)

This afternoon found me a few hours to mess around with some outfits, so I've stockpiled some dress up sessions for some OOTDs to come. Which means, like it has been recently, most of the outfits seen will be not really OOTDs, but some version of what I want to wear... I promise to get back to regularly scheduled programming soon.  Promise.

(I'm really Anthro'ed out today! By the way, I do love this top, and it looks very cute with my white shorts, too!!)

Top: Anthropologie Nexus Top

Jacket: Anthropologie Immutable Jacket

Jeans: Hudson signature bootcuts

Shoes: Madden Girl

Bracelets: courtesy Maria! thanks, girl.

Earrings: dunno. Sorry.

And as a little update: the Rebecca Minkoff pants went back to Shopbop for someone else to buy... sigh. I think I liked them more than many of you (and I still think the fit was pretty good-- I actually like pleats and think I can pull them off), but the heart of the matter was that I just know I wouldn't wear them. I know I'd just end up reaching for my jeans or a skirt instead. Old habits die hard!
