AviaMariah, it's true that I have to dress for bfing which i find pretty restrictive. But I've realized that I can still wear my dresses for short bursts e.g, walking the baby, weekend me times, etc, And my sister's wedding is in a few months so this will be a bright and cheerful option for daytime (wedding's in the tropics). I'm on Team Wear so where there's a will, there's a way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-me-time-anthropologie#post-1082537 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 16:18:44 +0000 AviaMariah 1082537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you for dressing up for "me time". &nbsp;I too can't imagine being within walking distance to shopping...very dangerous! &nbsp;I love the color of the dress. &nbsp;One of the hardest things for me while BF&nbsp;was not being able to wear shift dresses. &nbsp;Will you have enough opportunity to wear it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-me-time-anthropologie#post-1082463 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:45:24 +0000 LACeleste 1082463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new tradition sounds great and I love the bright dress! &nbsp;You look very fashionable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-me-time-anthropologie#post-1082453 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:36:36 +0000 peacechick 1082453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Claire and Beth Ann! Claire, you are not a killjoy at all but an inspiration. I do consider the fit, so I stay away from tailored dresses. This dress is in my size (M) but has stretch, which is why it fits. As i get back to my old shape, it should get looser, which will be a plus. It's a nice thing to have things that fit. I will try to wear this through winter </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-me-time-anthropologie#post-1082116 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 04:17:16 +0000 Beth Ann 1082116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the elevator shot!&nbsp; How creative you are.</p> <p>Glad you're taking the time for yourself and have put a plan into action.</p> <p>These are great finds!&nbsp; Beautiful pinks! I love pink with taupe and navy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-me-time-anthropologie#post-1082060 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 03:31:12 +0000 Anonymous 1082060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Me Time sounds superb, and well deserved! I can only imagine what it would be like to have an Anthropologie within walking distance. Dangerous is a word that comes to mind...I love the blush jacket. It looks versatile. As for the dress, the color is very pretty on you, even the brightness. I don't mean to be a killjoy, but have you considered whether or not it will&nbsp;still fit you when you're through breast feeding? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-me-time-anthropologie#post-1082052 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 03:23:12 +0000 lyn* 1082052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:3 Thanks ... I love Anthropologie and I think I should send my paycheque there - don't be like meeeee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-me-time-anthropologie#post-1082030 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 03:05:34 +0000 peacechick 1082030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ceit, i enjoyed my me time. It will not always be spent shopping!</p> <p>Thanks Lyn, I think of you as the Anthropologie guru. I always love looking at your lovely skirts and dresses, they have the best prints. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-me-time-anthropologie#post-1081495 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:50:39 +0000 lyn* 1081495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sort of scared of bright colours, so I usually tone them down with a lot of greys and navy - and I find dark leather helps settle it as well.</p> <p>Good find on the blazer; they're out of my size here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-me-time-anthropologie#post-1081488 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:44:42 +0000 Anonymous 1081488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good tradition for you! Me-time is perfect. Love your find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-me-time-anthropologie#post-1081485 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:40:57 +0000 peacechick 1081485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So yesterday was the first of Sunday "me times" DH and I have created. So while DH watches Sunday football with baby, I go out on my own. It's my chance to dress up in non-breastfeeding outfits, haha, so I put on my hi-lo chintz dress, my TSE cashmere cardi and a profusion of faux pearls (anyone else who looks awful with a single strand of pearls but just fine with multiple strands?). I also have my Old Navy maternity coat which I've worn to death and would repurchase if I find the same style with better quality. It was too dark at home so I took a photo in the elevator :)</p> <p>I was just going to go for a walk but I got sucked into the newish Anthropologie store, specifically their sale rack, and came home with two items, a blush blazer and a pink shift dress (2). The blush blazer I am not sure how to style yet but I will read Angie's suggestions closely. The pink dress is not as much of a hot pink as in the photos but more a saturated salmon pink. The brightness gave me pause but it has my favorite style of cap sleeve. And I think I can style it with a dark topper to tone down the brightness (4 and 5). Any other ideas on how to style a bright dress? </p>
