I Heart February






Dress: Anthropologie Horizon Line Dress
Cardigan: Old Navy (similar here)
Tights: Anthropologie Flower Chain Tights
Shoes: Anthropologie Budding T-Straps
Necklace: Forever 21

Happy first day of February and first day of remixing! I'm so excited that February is finally here because it's my favorite month of the year (hey that rhymed!) :) Why you ask? Well there's Valentine's Day, which is always a good excuse to get dressed up and go out to dinner with the hubby. There's also President's Day, which means no work (woo hoo!). It's also the month that my husband asked me to marry him a few short years ago (brings a smile to my face every time I think about it). And most importantly, it's my birthday month!

Speaking of my birthday...I got my online birthday discount from Anthropologie today. Good right? Wrong! I realized that I still have to pay for shipping when I use the online discount, so basically, I'm still paying full price. Not cool. I'm going to try and take a print out of the email to my store and see if they'll honor it, but if they don't, it looks like no birthday haul for me this year :/

I told you all a few days ago that I was on the hunt for a light pink cardigan and as you can see from my outfit pictures today, I finally found one! It's not this one that I originally went looking for (they didn't have that one), but it's very similar and I actually think I like it more because it has less embellishments. The best part? I got it for $6! Deal of the day huh?

Before I go, I wanted to share with you a cardigan I found at Target the other day that I thought some of you might be interested in:



It's nearly identical to the one I'm wearing here, but the polka dots on this one have lines going across them. Hope that helps some of you who emailed me in the past asking where you could find one like mine :)

  3. Horray for February! You sure do have a lot of great reasons to love this month. I never would have thought to pair light pink with dark grey & blue, but it looks amazing!! And I love how the pink cardi makes the pink on your Budding T-Straps pop!

  4. I kept waiting for that pink polka dot one to get marked down but it's only marked to $16!!! If it goes cheaper, it won't matter now b/c I'm in my 30 for 30 ban!! wahhh. You have a great start to the remix today!!

  6. I heart Feb as well! It's a "full" month in paychecks but not really in days. :) You look awesome today.

  7. You look beautiful Sara! And I totally love that you found some pretty long necklaces - they really add something extra girly to the outfit!

  8. Sara you are so cute, I love how your hair matches them scalloped hem of the dress :)
    We don't celebrate Valentines Day but I like February because there are less days than all the other months plus January is normally quite long, dull and cold so it's nice to get it over and done with.

    Off to a great start on day 1 :)

  9. I know it's been a while since I've commented (still reading though), but you look so pretty today. Love the dress, necklace, cardi and the curly hair! Good luck with the 30 for 30 challenge. Your picks were perfect so it shouldn't be too hard. Hope they will give you your b-day discount at the store. That would be sad if you can't use it!

  10. you probably know this already, but free shipping with code "thawout" - it's on the checkout page and also reported on EA- maybe you can double dip? b-day discount and free ship? I got the regular in store code not online..

  11. I never commented last night bc I read the post before heading to bed... I thought to myself, maybe they'll be free shipping in Feb.... lucky you!!!

    Can't wait to see your b-day purchases. (Love this outfit too)

  12. Love that you're willing to do this challenge again! I'm looking forward to seeing how you put together all your outfits. I can't believe that you don't ever wear pants. I'm the exact opposite, I wear pants pretty much daily!

    I bet you were excited to get the email about free shipping over $150 for the weekend, I know you're not suppose to shop, but if you have your discount and it is your b-day month, I think exceptions can be made!

  13. That dress is adorable! I love the scalloped bottom for sure! I just became your newest follower, you are so pretty :0)

  14. Elisabeth-The scalloped hem gets me every time too!

    Peggy-At my Target the cardigan was still full price at $22. Was it on sale at your store?

    Vintageglammz-And to think I almost returned this dress!

    Cindi-I didn't even think about it being a shorter month! Just another reason to love February :)

    Jan-I'm glad I finally got some long necklaces too (gotta love accessories from Forever 21) :) For some reason though, they are really hard for me to wear. I feel like they just don't look right on me, but they always look amazing on other bloggers :/

    Louise-I didn't even notice my hair matched the hem until you pointed it out. Funny!

    Gemma-Ahh don't worry about the commenting. I've been pretty bad at it too lately on my own blog and on other blogs. There just aren't enough hours in the day! I think I'm just going to use my birthday discount online since there's free shipping now :)

    Spiffy-I actually didn't know about the free shipping until I read your comment earlier today :) I let out a little "yes!" when I read it and went straight to the Anthro website to start narrowing my choices down.

    E Hayes-I'd like to think people from Anthro read my post from yesterday and did the free shipping just for me :)

    Windy City Cowgirl-Yep I'm definitely making an exception for my birthday haul :)

    Kinsey-I just became one of your newest followers on Google Reader the other day too! I went straight over to my H&M the other day to try on that polka dot dress you have because I loved how it looked on you :) Not so great on me though :/

  15. You look adorable in these photos! Whenever I see you in this dress is the only time I ever regret not having gotten that dress. Great outfit through and through.
