(Over the next couple of weeks while I dash off to get married, I’ve asked some of my blogging friends to contribute Daily Outfit posts to What I Wore)
Selective Potential:
When:
August 29, 2010
What:
Dress: c/o ModCloth
Belt: c/o Shop Ruche
Shoes: Urban Outfitters
Tights: American Apparel
Where:
Rosy Mound Beach
Why:
I’ve been dying to swear some of my autumn purchases, but am still clinging onto some of my summer pieces, so I thought what better than to mix them during these last few weeks of summer? It’s fun to see some of my fun, light florals come together nicely with some darker opaque tights and some autumn-feeling heels. I love anything with an open back and florals for warm weather and I’m in love with tights and army-greens for the cooler weather approaching. These little heels were actually very comfortable to take a walk with my husband at this park located on Lake Michigan. The breeze from the lake made the tights bearable in this heat!
I’m loving the olive greens and tannish browns for autumn! What colors are you coveting for fall?

What She Wore: Kendi Everyday

Kendi Everyday
Hi, everyone! I’m Kendi from Kendi Everyday and I’m so very excited to be guest posting for Jessica while she prepares to become Mrs. Quirk. I wish you and Adam all the best on your wedding day! We can’t wait to see pictures.
As a follower of What I Wore, I’ve always been inspired by Jessica’s influence of vintage silhouettes in her everyday wardrobe. As far as an era of fashion goes, I love the classic lines and elegance of the 1950s and 1960s. Whoever thought of a poofy skirt with a high waist, I thank you. It’s exactly what my body wanted to wear.
I bought this dress at Anthropologie on accident. Accident, you ask? Yes, completely. It’s the same principle as to why I don’t go into animal shelters. I’ve only been twice to an animal shelter and we now have two dogs. So a good accident, of course. I saw this dress hanging lonely on the rack and once I tried it on I was sold. Then I came out of the dressing room twirled around twice for my husband and the dress was mine. In case you are wondering, I only had to twirl the dogs once and they were ours.
And yes, I do walk my dogs in this dress every single day. It was a part of the final negotiation of purchasing the dress.
Outfit Details:
Dress: Anthropologie
Cardigan: American Eagle
Belt: Anthropologie
Shoes: Target
Dogs: Humane Society

Why (And Hello!):
Hey there! I’m Kristina (aka PSS) and I’m pleased to be your blogger for the day while Jessica is off doing important stuff like…getting married! Everyone needs a little pretty, shiny, and sparkly in their life, and this crystal bib necklace paired with a pink blazer I snapped up from Zara a few months ago fills my need nicely.Her in Houston, Texas, blazers in the summertime are bound to garner the raised eyebrows of disbelief among passersby. But it’s fall now, so even though the temperature gauge outside still stated 96°F at 8pm, I crossed my fingers hoping for meat-locker temperatures in the theater and headed out. And you know what? I had so much fun gabbing with my girlfriends that I didn’t even notice the temperature at all! That’s a sure sign of a good time.
xoxoKristina
