Here's what I wore today, which was actually the second outfit of today. I had my Tiny Windows Dress on at my job, but dressed down for walking in the city wind.
A-Bit-Unruly Top $48 Deletta
The Gathering Tank $48 Deletta
It seems to be this season's Molded and Melded Tee...the piece that everyone seems to love. It's a reasonable price point for Anthro and it sure is cute. I think it's running a little large for someone who is xxs. I would buy this if I came across it on the sale rack and it was $9.95. I really like it, I just don't think it's magical. Wishlisted for second-cut sale time!
Heart's Desire Cardigan $98 Yoon
I have been really attracted to this little cardi on the website. The little hearts are so adorable. However, my beef with it is that it's hard to tell that they are stitched hearts unless someone told you (maybe that's just me). It made me sad that size small is the smallest size available. I actually don't much like the green, but I actually am interested in the ivory. It was very soft and fit well (although, I lament for the possibility of an xs). I really think it's a great base essential and I have wishlisted the Ivory for sale time. I really liked the fact that it had snaps instead of buttons. I like snaps. OH SNAP!!!!! sorry.
The two things (yes TWO. I was only prepared to take one item from the sale, but I broke down. LITERALLY Broke down, because now I'm broke.) I took home were the D'armee Dress and the Craftmanship Capelet. I cannot believe I took the D'armee Dress, but I tried it on with a belt and it was MAGICAL. The belt changes everything and YES, I did buy the khaki. I can hear my Mary Shirtdress crying right now. Mary, I promise to give you the appropriate wear time...after all...you have 3/4 sleeves.
I had never really given the Craftmanship Capelet a try. But today it was 47º out and I thought to myself, what would be perfect on a not-so-cold, but still-kinda-chilly day? A capelet!!! I grabbed it to try it and fell in love. I actually prefer this colorway to the yellow one. I think it's a little more "me". I am really impressed by the quality of this little cape! It's comfy, cozy and it has the two things I love the most, a tie and SNAPS!!! At $59.95, the price was right. There are still a few at the Boston store!
Yay, another craftsmanship sister! I have the red plaid too and I prefer it to the yellow. I actually like to try to stand the collar up a bit when I wear - like a folded popped collar if that makes any sense.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you - no more sheer tees please, Anthro! I'm one of those gals who get bothered if I need to wear a layering piece under a tee shirt, I feel like it misses the point!
The capelet is adorable on you. Never would've even considered it if I didn't see it on you. I love the white blouse as well. So bohemian and summery. Hope you had a fun shopping trip.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I see the Berry Months dress behind you. Can't wait to see your review on it because I just got the dress in a 0p.
ReplyDeleteLove the capelet. Is that a size 0? Anymore 0's left?
Lisa, I'm so glad someone else loves the red/grey version too! I think it's so warm and yummy looking! I cannot wait to wear it! And the sheer tees are giving me grief. Like seriously...are they just setting us up to buy camis?!
ReplyDeleteBetty, thanks...I never would have touched that capelet either had I not tried to step outside my box today.
Gemma, it will be in my next round!! I can tell you that I liked it :)
There were at least 5 or 6 capelets in the sale room, but I don't remember if there were any more xs's. There was a large and a medium, but once I spied an xs, I stopped looking through. Wouldn't hurt to give the Boston Store a ring! They are always helpful and Jeanne Mooney is the best personal shopper ever. If you get her on the phone you hit the Anthro Jackpot!
A cape! How awesome :) It looks great on your frame as well, fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI caved with the d'armee dress too, well not really cave, I was sale stalking it hehe. In navy though, fingers crossed that it ships!
I think you picked two great items! I have the capelet in yellow but I think the wine is so pretty too - I think you'll love wearing it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, Kay re: Craftmanship Capelets floating around your store. I just snagged one on a charge-send from the Boston store in the grey colourway. I've never worn a capelet (or a cape before, for that matter) so I'm super excited for it to arrive. You look fantastic in the Homecoming top, btw.
