Ooh, I love your last dress - super glam 70s.

This has been SO MUCH FUN, Rebecca - you've totally gotten me out of my boring SAHM rut. Thanks so much!

I'll try to post an outfit later today after I get out of workout clothes.

Anonymous | 1:24 PM

holy hell. that clutch is MINE, bitches! just kidding, y'all. i'm really doing it all for the STYLE.

adore the red pattern dress with the vince canuto shoes and blue/yellow socks. super cute.

my challenge this week is dressing for 25 degree weather as i'm traveling to nashville for a girls' weekend. i do not mix well with 20 degree weather. we'll see how it goes.

Jessica | 1:36 PM

I agree with Elizabeth! I love seeing what you (and everyone else who has been posting outfits) are wearing.

Here's mine:

okay, that clutch is too cute! I may actually have to post my looks separately to increase my odds of winning it. not that I wore anything especially good this week - this was a week of running errands and barely getting out of basic slumpin' around clothes. I did manage these cute flats though:

lonek8 | 1:40 PM

I also wore my favorite necklace - three charms with my kids' names on the front and their birthdays on the back. Keeps them close to my heart and makes me feel pretty even if I'm in pajamas!

Max | 2:02 PM

I'm not very good at taking my pics of my clothes because I don't have a full length mirror. And my husband can't seem to work my camera. Simply pushing the button doesn't work for him. But I can take pics of my feet.

This is an older post, but I've worn both pairs of these shoes this week. I pretty much live in the blue ones.

Brooke | 2:32 PM

Can't I just win the Cynthia Vincent dress? Pretty please? I love it and you wear it oh, so well. Will flattery work?

Anonymous | 3:07 PM

I especially love the look with the Anna Sui skirt! :) The fancy dress also rocks.

I post outfits most days at http://caffeinerd.wordpress.com

Liz | 3:54 PM

Okay, after bringing it yesterday I'm a little less dressed up today. But I think it's cute casual... maybe.

love the knee socks. i am so loving knee socks right now! and leg warmers. you can find my lovely vintage and thrift store finds at: http://www.anikaame.blogspot.com

RogueBiscuit | 5:29 PM

Oh my goodness, where can I find that dress?! A brief google search is turning up nothing. I have been wanting to add a red dress to my wardrobe for awhile and that Cynthia Vincent is PERFECTION.

Marianne | 5:36 PM

First off, your very first picture is perfection. The colors and patterns!

Here's my favorite outfit this week. It's so comfortable and I feel like it personifies fall:

GIRL'S GONE CHILD | 5:45 PM

Thanks, guys!

As for the Cynthia Vincent dress, I bought it last summer so I doubt it's anywhere, unless, perhaps.... Ebay? It's "coral" not red - more pinkish in real life than it translated in photos but, yeah, one of my absolute favorite colors. I was coveting the dress for months before I finally bought it.

Can't wait to browse your wears later this eve!

Unknown | 5:45 PM

I must concur with my fellow fashionistas and fawn over that gorge Cynthia Vincent dress! That color looks amazing on you.

I'm so bad about this taking photos of myself stuff, but I will try to do at least one this week!

Rebecca | 5:56 PM

You always look so cute and put together! I wish I had the ability to create outfits like that. Unfortunately I HATE shopping and I find it hard to find things that are flattering on my figure, so putting together outfits is a challenge. Can I hire you to be my personal shopper? =)

Alex | 6:16 PM

I'm not sure what my favorite outfit is. The socks & heels, the blue top and skirt or the Cynthia Vincent dress.

But you look great!

Katherine | 6:29 PM

knee socks rock! Love everyone's outfits again!

Althea | 5:23 AM

Cynthia just cracked me up. Way to be REAL, GIRL!!!!

Rebecca, your outfits this week particularly rock my face. That long dress, I was like,...'HALSTON?'
Your blue socks...you are pretty much the coolest chick I sort of pretend to know.
ps-I emailed you after I finished freaking out.

Melissa | 6:11 AM

I have found myself dressing in my most super cute outfits the past couple of weeks not just because of the giveaways, but from all the inspiration on here!

My entry for today:

http://twitter.com/#!/MelOffill/status/339787940626432

My all clearance outfit. Mostly from Target with the exception of the headband and shoes.

Anonymous | 7:37 AM

OH OH OH. *stops to catch my breath* SERIOUSLY. The tights THE SHOES *squeals a little* THE RED DRESS.

I want I want I want.

(meanwhile, back at the ranch, I'm waiting for the chance to debut my new tights. stay tuned)

Zinashi | 8:55 AM

With a little help, Zinashi put together her own outfit. If she wins, I'm totally borrowing the clutch from her.

findingmagnolia | 9:01 AM

I absolutely adore those blue socks. I saw some on clearance at my Anthro at some point, and now I wish I'd ponied up the dollars to get them. Oh, well, live and learn.

Here's my outfit, completely with Ethiopian child accessory. It's not the best photo ever of either of us, as my daughter was in a goofy mood and my chin seems to have disappeared into my neck, but oh well! I still love the outfit.

You look so long, lean and drop-dead beautiful in that fantastic shade of orangey-pink Cynthia Vincent dress. I love it!
And, thanks for linking me as your style blog of the week last week!

Okay, one last outfit before the giveaway is over:

http://flic.kr/p/8SqeF7

Also, don't grow out your bangs! They are so cute and quintessentially you. I'm tempted to cut bangs, you wear yours so well.

GIRL'S GONE CHILD | 12:47 PM

Thanks, guys. And not to worry! Never growing out my bangs. Ever, ever. I would be lost without them. Haters can hate all day long!

Also, HOORAY! More wears! On my way to take a gander! xo!

GIRL'S GONE CHILD | 12:50 PM

Also, thanks for letting me know, Lola! Am on the fence as to whether I'll keep "Good Wear Days" after the giveaways dry up. Appreciate the feedback! Much love!
