I'm getting nervous. I'm going on a Mediterranean cruise next week on a Royal Caribbean ship. It will be for 12 glorious nights and the ports of call include Italy, Greece, Sicily, Turkey and Egypt! We fly from Atlanta to Rome on Friday. The reason why I'm nervous? This volcano ordeal in Iceland is cancelling thousands of flights in Europe. So far Italy is in the clear. Fingers crossed that it stays that way!
Enough of my rant. I visited my local Atlanta Anthro this evening and tried on a new batch of clothes. The reviews are below! :)
Crossroads Tee
Follow the braided and ruched pathways as they converge and diverge atop fine-gauge sweaterknit. By C. Keer.
This is a nice twist on a tee and I love the green color. (As you will be able to tell from this batch of reviews...I really do love green!) I'm wearing the small here. I tried on the medium too, but it did not work.
Gaillardia Skirt (with the Blooming Lattice Cardigan)
Whopping daisies pop from a field of bright green jersey, styled into a swingy circle.
I know that this is just an explosion of green! I wouldn't wear this much green together (plus I look like I'm going to a sock-hop) but I ended up trying these two items on together because I was giving the Blooming Lattice Cardigan a second chance.
The skirt is fun and really comfortable. I have on the medium and it was too big at the waist. I would need to size down to a small. This skirt would be great for summer. However, I will wait for a sale.
I have tried on the Blooming Lattice Cardigan previously but didn't love it. I gave it another chance tonight and I still don't love it. It's cropped (and I have enough cropped sweaters at this point) and the buttons appear to pull even though the sweater had plenty of room. I want to love it, but I don't. Pass.
Lettuce Florets Blouse
A crisp cotton field of cultivated greens and sprouted buttons unfolds with a leafy ruffled collar. By Girls From Savoy
I adored this top online and couldn't wait to try it on. However, many reviews stated that it was boxy. Those reviews were correct! The top runs big (I have on the 4 here) and it is very boxy and unflattering from the back or side. It's too bad because this top had a lot of potential!
Two-Wheeler Shirtdress
Penny-farthings and bicycles cruise in all directions on Porridges poplin frock, passing through a buttoned path and cap sleeve curves.
This dress is adorable, but just did not work for me. It runs big (I have on the six here and I'm pinching the extra fabric on the side). It looks lovely on many other bloggers but this is another pass for me.
Beda Dress
A sprinkling of textured dots rains down upon Maeve's crisp cotton frock, as a cloud-like lace inset drifts across the bodice.
This dress seems to be very popular and now I understand why! I loved it! I really want the green version but my store only had the white. This dress runs on the larger size and I sized down to a 4 (instead of my usual six). I love the details, the retro vibe, the fit, the length and everything else about it! This dress will be so great for the summer. I can't wait to get the green version!
Have a great weekend everyone! :)
