Cocodrillo Cardi Party Alert!!! (Plus, Mini-Review of an Outlet Tee!)

So very tired today, must make post quick!!! (I subbed in the library of my former school today and will be for the next 6 school days, so I may have limited energy, but I will try to keep up with at least one post a day...)

BTW, I always announce the Cocodrillo Print REALLY BRIGHTLY when I do a post on it, ever since one of the commenters said how much she (or he) detested the print...hopefully that individual stayed REALLY FAR AWAY from this post.

HeidiG. and Gingersnap have been having cardi parties lately and since I have been wearing cardigans more often lately (more as outerwear, but today, definitely as inside wear, too--it is BRISK outside), I thought I would do a post on one of my "cardi-party" outfits. There is a lot more to come, including a post with the plum perfect pencil skirt (AppGal, this is a saturated, vibrant true medium purple) and a post which includes photos on how I styled the ocelot cardigan.

No polyvore for today's set because more than half the outfit would require me to post pics and then clip to polyvore and I just can't find the energy!!! :)


Lopped off my head because I looked incredibly bad. REALLY REALLY BAD. If I cut my head off, there is a great reason. :)

The cardigan is the cocodrillo cardigan (in a silk/linen blend, I believe) from Summer 2009, J. Crew. The adorable tee is from the J. Crew Outlet, recently purchased, and it says Fall 2009 on the tag. The jeans are one of my all-time favorite pair of jeans from IT! jeans and I purchased them a long long time ago and never ever thought I could get into them again. AND I CAN!!! Woot woot! BTW, the reason I love these jeans? They have an embellished butt pocket and they just fit over my bottom perfectly. I am not really a bling-y sort of girl, but these jeans had me at "hello." The flip-flops are from J. Crew this last spring 2009.


MUCH better face in this photo.

The reason I posted this is so you all could see the adorable rose on the tee. It is the outlet version of last fall's famed rose tee. The tee from last fall had a rose that was way too big for me, but this outlet version, perfection. The outlet version also comes in white (which I also bought).

The tee is a bit sheer, but whatever...as long as I have a cami on, I am not worried about it!

Have a great night. Hope I don't fall asleep before Mr. Dina gets home. The kids would never forgive me for making them forage...
