Call Me Maybe

The other title I was considering for this post was "8675 Cleo 9."


Now that I've put both the Carly Rae Jepsen and Tommy Tutone hits in your head, let's get on with this outfit post, shall we?

I had this adorable telephone print top on my February Wish List, but it wasn't long before I put it on my February shopping list. Can you blame me, though? The print is just too cute, and so is the peter pan collar.


This was my first purchase from British retailer Boden, which randomly sent me a catalog in the mail. They have a bunch of cute clothes, but they're a bit expensive for my taste. The main reason I ended up pulling the trigger on this top is because I got 15 percent off my first purchase.

The shirt comes in three colors: Marina Blue, Bright Red, and Thyme, which is the color I bought. Even though the package traveled all the way from the U.K., it arrived quicker than items I've ordered from some U.S. retailers--certainly quicker than I expected!

There's a hint of mint in the print (couldn't resist this rhyme again), and that was the perfect excuse to wear it with all of my mint-colored accessories.

I think I was about 3 or 4 years old when I first learned to use the telephone--a rotary style device just like the ones in this print. The first number I ever dialed? My grandparents! I still remember their number even though it's been years since it belonged to them.

Ah, nostalgia! :)

February Wish List

Here are all the cute things I'm wishing for this month.


1. Peter Pan Collar Top in Thyme from Boden, $78
I absolutely love the telephones on this top, as well as the hint of mint in the print. Rhyming! ;) Plus, can you ever really go wrong with a peter pan collar? I think not.

You had me at "dinosaur." The second-grader in me is running around the playground screaming with excitement!

3. Just As Imagined Necklace in Mushroom from ModCloth, $22.99
Don't know why, but I really like things with mushrooms printed on them. And that isn't some weird drug reference.

4. Vintage Cutout Shoulder Bag in Mint Green from Oasap, $38.94 (on sale)
I don't like the taste of mint, but I sure do love the color. And the cutouts and closure? Sound the alarm--we're reaching high levels of cuteness!

5. You're in Luck Dress from ModCloth, $89.99
I've been eyeing this dress with ladybugs and four-leaf clovers printed on it for months. It would be great to wear on St. Patty's Day. If only it would go on sale!

6. Yvette Cream Flats from B.A.I.T. Footwear, $58
B.A.I.T. has come out with 60s-inspired lace-up jogger flats, and I don't think they could be any cuter. All of the floral prints are adorable, but I'm really digging this white pair.

If anyone wants to send me any of these things, my mailbox is open. ;)

What are you wishing for this month? Tell me in the comments!
