umm hi? it's been awhile. Sorry I've been mia but I've been so swamped with a lot of stuff lately! ugh. anyways, I've been accumulating reviews and several OOTDs so I think it's about time to post them.
I dropped by at Anthro to check out their new
goodies. mainly looking for this adorable flamingo skirt to try on and alas, it was nowhere to be found. I did review a couple of things that I have had my eyes on though.
I tried on this tee and the moss green version caught my eyes. The moss green version isn't see through and it's soft and comfortable. Boyfriend who was with me liked it. However, it was pretty form fitting and clings to your body. The one in the picture is a size small and I'd size up when it comes time for me to purchase it. I think i'll try on the bigger sizes next time along with the blush color (hopefully it's not sheer).
Million Pleats Midi now $40
I'm still not sure what to think about this skirt. (I'm wearing a size S; fits TTS for me). On one hand, I really like the pleats and the color (it looks good with the tee i'm wearing no?)..and on the other hand, I'm not sure how it looks on me. Both my sister and my boyfriend said it looks matronly on me. The SA said it looks cute on me but ultimately, I don't think it's really my style. I'm quite indecisive and I'll probably give it a chance if I happen to see it in store for $20.

Sweetheart Shrug Tee $68 by Velvet
This top caught my eyes when it debuted online. I love Anthro's unique style twist to an otherwise basic tee. When I saw it in the store, I couldn't resist not trying them on. I got my normal size S (as pictured) and as you can see, it's very form fitting....and showing too much of the chest area. eep. I will have to try on the larger sizes and hopefully it won't cling as much to the body. so for the ladies with larger chest, layering a cami will make this top a bit more appropriate. Still, I do like this top a lot and it's wishlisted in the teal color.
Gathering Breeze in Black $???
I missed out on the summer version. *cries* I do like this one but not as much as the ivory + green version. I took an 8 from my normal size 6 in this and it fits perfectly. The contrasting color is more beige irl and the skirt is made out of same material like its previous sister. I didn't remember to look at the price since it's unlikely that I would buy it even when it goes on sale. (i would also love to find the ivory+green version in size 8. anyone?)

Dulcie Dress by Weston Wear $158
This is an adorable dress. The top is sheer as you can tell, you can see my bra underneath. I think having a nude colored bra would fix this problem. If I recall correctly, this dress is a pullover style. The top is made out of it's a stretchy, soft, sweater knit type material and the skirt is made out of mesh type material. I grabbed a size S which I think is too small on me. The waist sat a good inch above where my natural waist is located and this dress is also short on me! I'm 5'6 and it's a good 2-3 inches above my knee. Not to mention the lining of the skirt inside is also shorter than the skirt. I would have to size up to a M or L to buy this which I will consider when it goes on sale.
Enduring Tweed Coat $298
This Cartonnier's coat is a complete miss for me. I think this coat is warm (and heavy!) enough for the east coast weather and the length will sure to keep 90% of your body warm and toasty. I did like it when Roxy of Effortless Anthropologie posted a picture of her in it...it's probably because it fits her well and she wore it much better than I did. I grabbed an 8 in this coat (I'm usually a size 10 in coats to accommodate layering) and it still felt big in the torso. This one is a pass for me but that's ok because a new arrival has me swooning ever since it debuted online!
Hope this helps you and I'll be back with an OOTD later!
