Reviews: A Few Dresses. My New Obsession & OOTD

Good evening, Ladies! Wow! What a sale today! Tons of markdowns on awesome stuff and second cuts! Most notably, the Doubly Adorned Dress at $30!? Wow!!! I FINALLY scored my beloved High Tea Blouse which has been sold out in my size on the website for weeks. I tracked one down in one of my local stores and they have put it on hold for me to pick up tomorrow. I am sooooo excited! I have been lusting after this blouse for months and finally, it will be mine! Did you guys score anything good today?

I stopped at Anthro today to check out the scene and to try a few things on. I noticed a few things that were not on the website yet, but one particular thing caught my eye. A gorgeous Tracy Reese dress. Ladies...I am in FULL-ON love with this dress.

*Edit 10/27/10 - This dress is now identified as the Spinning Lace Dress 




OH. EM. GEE. I. must. have. this.

This is the most amazing dress I've ever tried on. Oh, by the way; it's $288. I didn't get the style number, because I was in a hurry. This is the extra small or the "petite", which is....<Drumroll> A PERFECT FIT. That NEVER HAPPENS. I was so bummed about the Mullany Dress not fitting me, but this more than makes up for it. It's so well-made. The bodice comes with a tank cami attached to it, so it's lined quite nicely. The cream color is so delicious. The black ribbon is perfect. I am hopelessly infatuated with this dress and it killed me to give it back to the sales associate when I left the dressing room. At $288, the price is just too high to buy it without budgeting for it. I'll pay full-price for this at some point. LOVE.  WISHLISTED. HARDCORE. Here is the link to the dress on the Tracy Reese Website. It also comes in a blue colorway. Cheers for it being cheaper at Anthro!

*Sigh* Anyway...moving on...



What a cute dress! I love the color detail in the middle and it fits! (It must be everything fits day) It's interesting to try on a black dress at Anthro. It's well made and the bodice is actually really nicely constructed. I normally stay away from strapless dresses, but this one seems like the top won't fall off. It's a little long for a petite gal, so if you're short, you may want to have this hemmed a few inches. Pass for me, as it's not working any magic for me. I try not to wear too much black unless I'm on stage.

And now for the OOTD! It's me, teaching music...with my Chopsticks Cardi on (plus the Scalinata Top which got a second cut today!). Can it get any more cliché???

  7. Ladies, yes...that TR dress is like...a heaven-sent frock. NEED. WANT.

    Jan, thanks! LOL...I was so skeptical about the Chopesticks Cardi because I wasn't sure if it was too themey for an actual musician to wear, but I get lots of compliments on it. It's a keeper!
