Happy Halloween, Ladies! I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend. I am working hard over here this weekend! I think my next day off is Veteran's Day! My husband and I are planning to go Atlantic City to go to the
Junkies' Poker Open! I'm not playing it it, I'm just going there to party with my favorite radio boys and sport my
Pinochle Skirt! It's perfect for the Borgata, right?!
I am absolutely drooling over the new arrivals at Anthro and I'll be reviewing a couple today! Okay, here we go!

| Look at the cute lining! |
This did nothing for me on the website, but in person I love it! Do you know why?! Because it's a corduroy
Circle the Globe Skirt!!!! That's amazing! It's the same adorable shape, same awesome pockets, same cute waistline stitching, plus this adorable paisley lining. This will be coming home with me at some point and at $78, it's a little pricey, but I'll pay full-price for it, just like I did the teal CTG Skirt. The cord is really light so that the skirt stays light and poufy. Love, love, love. E&E, well done.
Here's another really adorable skirt that I didn't expect to like. I've walked past this one a dozen times and I finally decided to pick it up. It's really adorable! I love the orange and sequined details.
It's got no pockets, which takes away some points for me. I also do feel like it's a touch long, so I would be more inclined to order a petite size (which is sold out). I wish, so much that Anthropologie would start offering a few petite sizes in-store. There are quite a few of us under 5'4 and I notice that the petite sizes always sell out online before I have a chance to get to them. I just feel a little annoyed about having to pay shipping, just because I'm below average height. But, that's another matter. Back on point, this skirt is really cute and I may pick it up on sale.
Let's talk about the top for one moment, shall we? This is the
Trickle Down Top ($68 Deletta) which has been out for a while. It's cute, but sheer. Why?! It needs to be worn with a cami. I would pick it up on sale because it is really adorable. The beige color would go with all kinds of things. Wishlisted for sale!
I have no pencil skirts in my Anthropologie Library and I think this may be the one I take home first! I simply adore this little jersey skirt! The gray color goes with everything and the little layering details are cute and unusual. The length, I think is okay for a petite gal and I am really glad it fits well. My only caveat is that it's expensive for what it is...a jersey skirt. The layers and draping is nice, but $88 seems too much for jersey. I'll wait for the sale on it.
This has been on my radar since it appeared online, but this is the first time I've seen it it person. It's JUST beautiful. I can see this going great under a simple cardi or being gorgeous on it's own with jeans. Plus, I LOVE that it's a drapey asymmetrical top a similar shape to the
Hidden Hummingbird Tank which is one of my fave Anthro pieces. The $68 price seems fair, although I will probably wait for the sale which I feel is not far off.
It's a mini skirt, but on 5'1 me, it just means it fits :) How cute is this little skirt? It caught my eye on the hanger and it's a really soft and flowy silk and feels AMAZING on your body. The side pockets are cute and the pattern is really pretty. $128 seems fair, although again, I will hold out for a sale.
It's Sunday, which means it's another LIVE

facebook fan and you MUST listen live to win! Call in to claim your prize!
I'll be posting an OOTD later! Enjoy your morning!
I love all the reviews, I ordered the Glowing Leaf Skirt in petite and apparently got the last one - it's right at my knee (I'm 5ft) and I LOVE it - Floreat skirts are my favorite. I wish the petite sizes were offered more often!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the petite sizes should be sold in stores or they should stock more sizes. I'm usually a 0p, but lately a 2p, eek!, and I think I got the last 2p of the Glowing Leaf Skirt.
ReplyDeleteI emailed CS about the petite sizes, and larger sizes since I've read comments that 14's or 12's are also never available, because one CS Rep told me to email because they *do* listen. Their reply was, "our buying and design dept are constantly looking to improve our range of sizes to accommodate the needs of all our customers." But I'm with you and Jan, more petite sizes!
I really like your reviews. I'm only 5'2 and your perspective for petites really help. Plus, you seem to review items that are often overlooked.
ReplyDeleteJan, I'm so jealous you ordered the skirt in a petite size! The 0P is gone :( I guess I could wait for the sale and pay someone to hem it and then it would be worth the price. It's mega cutie-cute!
ReplyDeleteGemma, you know, I will now, most certainly email CS about having some petite sizes in-store. It seems that most Tracy Reese Dresses always work on me because I notice the xs is always marked "P" on the clothing tag. Need more petites in-stores! I hate looking like I'm playing dress-up with my mom's clothes.
Diem, I'm glad they are helpful :) You and I are almost the same height, so you share in my plight to look adorable! Stay tuned for more reviews this week, I've got dresses and cardis on the docket!
love the reviews! I`ve got my eye on the inked marble mini. I`m 5 ft 5 inches, and my waist is 25 or 26. Do you think the xs would fit me?
ReplyDeletelove this blog ;)

Kay - maybe there will be a popback, fingers crossed for you! I'm not usually much of a blog promoter, but I am 5ft/98lbs so maybe we can help each other find pieces that work, stop by sometime ;)

the glowing leaf skirt seriously needs to go on sale! although i think the length might be a bit wonky on me. looks super cute on you though!
ReplyDeleteStacey - Try it on! You are taller than me, so I think the length would be perfect on you!
