What I Wore: Green lace Anthropologie dress

August 7, 2014 | Leave a Comment

First let me say that I would normally post a What I Wore article on a Wednesday, but this week I’ve been busy hosting some friends of ours who are visiting from California. In the interest of spending time with them and enjoying life and great friends, I haven’t had the time to devote to the blog this week – and I’m totally ok with that, because life is meant to be lived and not just typed! So today I’m breaking all the rules and I don’t care one bit. Now, for that fashion post…

 

Do you know what I love? The sale room at Anthropologie. Do you know what else I love? ALL of Anthropologie.

I occasionally allow myself to wander in and take a peek, and sometimes I have a coupon that allows me to buy something without feeling too terribly guilty.

I happened to find a couple of great items in the sale room recently, and they were extra affordable because it was Member Appreciation Day and I got 15% off my entire purchase. This green dress was already on sale for $69, and with my discount it came to $59 – holla! Totally worth it for a quality dress that I will wear a bajillion times over.

The lace is a non-floral, which I think goes nicely with the dark, earthy green. Those details and the fact that the fit is intentionally loose makes this dress a little less feminine and a little more rustic. For this reason, I chose to pair it with some brown booties (first worn in my menswear post a while back) and a tribal-inspired necklace that I just picked up from the adorable jewelry shop AdornΒ (check out her shop – she is a local designer from Boulder and I quickly fell in love with her line).

It was a good look for Pearl Street in Boulder, where I took these photos on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I felt like I fit right in with the hippies, except I smelled better and brushed my hair. And I was wearing shoes and not challenging kids to see who could a better version of the splits. And I had a shirt on… I’ve encountered some really interesting people at Pearl Street lately.

I’ve got some cowboy boots on the way from Country Outfitter and I’m thinking they’ll go quite nicely with this dress as well.

Versatility makes for a good closet.

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready πŸ‘

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done πŸ™Œ

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

Another to-do checked off my list for spring break Another to-do checked off my list for spring break room makeover!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
