Happy Black Friday everyone! I am so glad to have the day off today! I actually had a gig yesterday, so I didn't really feel like it was a true day off...especially since after the gig, I had to drive 1 and a half hours to New Hampshire to be with my in-laws (which was great, but it's STILL a long drive after the gig). I would not have made it, if it wasn't for hilarious
Sports Junkies Podcasts on my iPod. Anyway, after getting up super early to practice my music and make a billion oatmean raisin cookies and driving all that way...today is AMAZING. I am staying away from the stores today (although, always tempting to go to Anthro).
I actually was planning on being a good girl and abstaining from this week's sale, but when I logged on to my wishlist, I noticed that the
High Tea Trousers had taken a second cut from $60 to $30 and the
Taking Flight Loungers, which I have been drooling over just about FOR-EVER had shifted to sale from $48 to $30 and I had to pounce. They are just sooooo cute and I have not bought a new pair of pj pants in ages. They just shipped today (after saying they were backordered which took some of the wind out of my sails). I haven't actually tried the trousers on and reviews say they run ridiculously small, so they might not even fit, which would suck. We'll see what happens. In the meantime, I have some quick reviews for you!
This dress is really cute! I spied it on the rack and I snatched it right up to try on! I really like it! Plus, it has pockets and the fabric is really nice (silk). This dress personally isn't for me. For someone of my stature, this pattern is really overwhelming, even in a petite size. It's gorgeous, fits TTS and is a great quality dress! I would recommend this if you really like it and I think it's worth full price. I just can't get past the gigantic-ness of this pattern on me.
Floating Sparks Cardigan $98 Moth
Hey, it's not bad, but let me tell you...this cardigan has about a million snaps and on this cardigan, they were NOT sewed on well. To boot, they snapped together extremely tightly, so every time I unsnapped one, I felt like I was going to tear a button off. That is the first thing that turned me off to this sweater. Secondly, I don't care for how it looks closed. This may be another feature of my small stature, but I find it extremely overwhelming and the pockets are a little weird. It's comfy though and seems warm. I say, wait for the sale if you can. If this were $88 it might be worth full price, but $59.95 seems about right for this one.
So that's it! I hope to make another trip to Anthro this weekend, so I'll have some more reviews for you. And for those of you keeping score at home, I actually finally got my grubby little hands on a Salty Seas Dress!!!! It will have to be shortened at the hem and the straps will have to be shortened, but I adore it! Now...I just have to wait
9 months until May and I'll be able to wear it out! LOL
Happy Friday everyone!
