Some Anthropologie Items for Sale

I cleaned out my closet this weekend and found several Anthropologie items that either no longer fit or items that I just don't wear very often (or have never worn!). Instead of having these items sitting in my closet, I would prefer that they go to someone who will enjoy them and will wear them often!

My prices are below and I was able to find the official Anthro website photo for most of the items. I also took a photo of the actual item that is for sale.

My first set of Anthropologie reviews!

I have been faithfully reading several Anthropologie blogs recently. They include Anthroholic, Infinite Whimsy and Effortless Anthropologie. I would like to thank all of you ladies for all of your information, reviews and entertainment during my lunch break at work!

I have been a fan of Anthropologie since 2006 and I visit my local Atlanta store as often as I can. I also like to take dressing room photos and decided that I would start keeping track of what I like/dislike in a blog of my own - even if I'm the only one who reads it so I can keep track of the items that I want to eventually purchase. I'm still new to the blogging world so please have patience with me while I figure it all out. :)

Without further ado...here are my reviews!

Vanilla Bean Blouse
I loved this shirt in the product shot and was so happy to see it in my store. I *almost* loved it. Sadly, there is this weird seam in the front (that can't be seen in the product shot) and the black tie does not want to stay in place to cover it. I felt that this seam really took away from the overall look of the top. Oh well!



Jacquard Drape Jacket
I had passed by this jacket a hundred times at the Atlanta location...but I did not try it on until my recent trip to LA. I tried on this jacket at the Anthropologie at The Grove. I am a huge jacket fan and I knew right away that I wanted to add this to my jacket collection. I loved the fit and the colors. However, I did not buy it that day. I was not able to stop thinking about it for the next week. So one week later, I went to my local Anthropologie and took it home with me. It is now quite content in my closet and it is also one of my favorite jackets!



Free Flow Tank
This is a top that I never would have thought that I could wear. However, I saw the review from Kim's blog and she looked great in it! This made me decide to give it a try. I tried it on in both the beige and the navy. The beige looked great on Kim, but it washed me out.



I then tried on the navy. I was very happy with the navy version and I took it home with me! I wore it to work this week with an Express black cardigan and I was very happy with the look. If it ever goes on sale, I might get the beige and pair it with a dark cardigan so that it won't wash me out as much.





Longing-For-Yellow Dress
I know I will regret it if I don't buy this dress. I really loved it! However, they did not have my size in-store and the one I have on below is a little big in the top area. I think one size down would do the trick. I might give in and buy it this weekend because I have dreams of wearing it with a black cardigan and black shoes on my Mediterranean cruise this summer!



In-A-Moment Dress
I bought this dress over a month ago and I am really happy with it. I like the length, color and fit. I just have no idea what shoes to wear with it. Any suggestions?



Horizon Line Dress
And finally, here is my beloved Horizon Line Dress. I wore it for the first time during my trip to LA. I absolutely adore it!! I definitely recommend this dress.
