I apologize for my lack of posts recently. I had an amazing time on my Med cruise (I'll post some pics soon) and I've spent the past few weeks working...a lot. In between work, I have managed to make one trip to Anthro and I also made several purchases from the sale last week.
Here are a few reviews and I will also list the items that I have recently purchased (but I just don't have photos in the items yet).
Weave-The-Ring Skirt
A pleated bow peplum adorns the waist of Odille's high-stepping gingham A-line as a crinkled flounce beneath gives it a swirly, girlie feel.
Please ignore my pants underneath the skirt. I saw this skirt reviewed by several other bloggers and I fell in love with it. I couldn't wait to try it on. I loved it even more in person! It definitely has a retro/I Love Lucy vibe to it and it does make you want to twirl. I took a 4 in this. This skirt came home with me and I highly recommend it.
Raccoon Rumpus Blouse
Antique interpretations of furry friends playfully pattern a sweet, swiss dot surplice top. By Rebekah Maysles in collaboration with Anthropologie.
I will admit that this top is very quirky. Raccoons? Really? But, I find the quirkiness of it endearing. I can either wear a 4 or 6 in tops. I was able to put on the 4, but it was a bit tight for my lacking. I prefer the 6. The top is a bit shear and I would recommend wearing a cami underneath.
Imelda Cardigan
Exhibiting a shoe collection worthy of true admiration, this lightweight layer brings a playful sensibility to jeans, flouncy skirts and fitted shifts.
While I liked the quirkiness of the Raccoon Rumpus blouse, I did not care for this quirky shoe shirt. I felt like it aged me a lot and I just wasn't feeling it. Back to the rack for this one.
Elevated Eyelet Blazer
Twining lace grows atop crisp voile, providing airy avenues for the sun to shine through to your tees or tanks. By Tiakonhu.
This blazer is not photogenic. Photos make it look dull and not exciting at all. However, it is quite lovely in person and the colors up close are very pretty. I recommend giving this cute jacket a shot if you see it in store. My one complaint is that I wish it had two buttons instead of just one.
I don't have photos of myself in these items yet, but here is what I scored during the Anthro sale last week:
Alena Skirt
Flowing georgette with a flatteringly fitted yoke. By Odille.
I read that this skirt ran on the smaller side and I'm so glad I listened. I took the 6 in this and it fits great!
Blue Book Blouse
Expert tailoring, lace edging and a full placket of ruffles put this superbly smart top at the head of the class. By Odille.
I was able to put on the 4, but I prefer to have more room in my tops. I decided to take the 6 instead and it worked out great.
Zipped Rosettes Jacket
A tiny golden zipper traces every curve and petal on this lightweight cotton-linen piece. By Elevenses.
I read that this jacket ran a little large and the reviewers were correct. I took this in a size 4 and it worked out great. I wore it today and received lots of compliments on it! :)
Do-Si-Do Skirt
This skirt definitely has a retro/picnic feel to it but I still love it. I took this in a size 4. I plan on wearing it with a purple top (there is purple in the flowers) and a cardigan.
