Reviews: New Spring Pretties & Sale Scores

Good morning, Ladies! It's a Wednesday Sale Day! Did anyone get anything good? I spent a lot of time i the dressing room trying on things for you guys! Here's my first installment for your enjoyment!
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.


 



 This is a simply gorgeous top. It is wispy, light and airy and has the simplist little design on the front. This was actually a size two since the 0 was not available. I wanted to try it anyway, and I think the fit was decent, although a 0 would have been perfect. I do not normally gravitate towards flowy blouses, but this is amazing. It's sheer and it has NO lining, so you need a tank or a cami underneath this. Wishlisted for sale time.

A-Bit-Unruly Top $48 Deletta

 This little top has been reviewed quite a bit, so I'll be brief. Yes, it's quite sheer. I don't understand why tops at Anthro have to be so sheer, but whatever. I had a dark tank on underneath so it worked well. It's cute...the navy stripes are okay, but it made me feel a bit like I was in an old-fashioned prision suit. I think the stripes were too big for little ole' me. Pass for me, but I do recommend this. The fit was okay if not a little on the large side, but the looseness of it didn't bother me.

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!


Coming up on the next round of reviews are some dresses!! I am excited to share with you the dress reviews...SO MANY PRETTIES!!!!!!

  1. 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.

    I 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!

  2. 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.

  3. Ooh, 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.

    Love the capelet. Is that a size 0? Anymore 0's left?

  4. 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?!

    Betty, 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!

  6. 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.

  7. Thanks 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.
