Concert Countdown and, Outfits, Sale Steals and a Quick Review

Good evening, readers! Happy Sale Tuesday! Much to my disappointment, the Nostalgic Asterisks Dress is STILL not on sale! Grrr! Come on, Anthro! You put the Tuileries on sale, but not my beloved Nostalgic Asterisks? You're testing my patience!

Anyway, here's a couple of outfits from the weekend! Here's what I wore to a housewarming party in the burbs!

Cardi: J Crew Jackie Cardigan, Blouse: Banana Republic Polka Dot Blouse, Skirt: Anthropologie Wooded Hideaway Skirt

The kitties always find their way into the pictures, don't they? Ah...the Wooded Hideaway Skirt. Ever since trying it on, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I love Corey Lynn Calter's designs, but I never want to pay so much for cuteness. So, I can definitely do CLC on second cut! At $148, this skirt was quite pricey, and when it went on sale, $79.95 was still a little much for me to pay for a silk skirt and I totally forgot about it. When it got a second cut to $39.95 AND popped back onto my wishlist, I said: "Yup! I'm ready to buy that now!" and I snapped it up! It's a really beautiful and comfortable little skirt. I am so glad I was lucky enough to score one!

Then on to a fabulous drag comedy show in Back Bay Saturday!

Cardigan: LiaMolly (Thrifted!), Top: Anthropologie (not on the website yet!), Jeans: Gap Kids

The label on this little LiaMolly shrug is so different, but I found this in a designer thrift shop and it's totally cute! I still can't believe this awesome Anthro top is NOT on the website yet. It's been in stores since March and it's totally adorable and worth full price. For a xs petite, this fits TTS, so I would lean toward saying this runs slightly small. I'm totally in love with it. Best full price purchase of the season. And, damn! Why does the cat always get in the picture!

Anyway, I dropped by the Anthro store today since, it happened to be in the same mall as my tailor. I saw one lone Embossed Basket Dress, so I thought I'd do a quick review since I've never seen this on a person, but was intrigued by it.

This is a cute dress. The cotton is a little heavier so in summer months, if you put this on you might be hot. Reviews online are saying it runs small. It fits me, so that must be true (this is an extra small for reference). For me, it's nothing to get excited over and it's way over-priced. $168? Really? Wait for the sale.

Whilst I was shopping, I spied something I've been coveting forever! A LONE Deuxhill Cowlneck, Turquoise...IN MY SIZE!!! To boot, it's marked down in-store to $19.95!!! I must have done something wonderful, because the Anthro Gods were with me! I also snapped up a lone Poetry of Trees Jacket and the Heart's Desire Cardigan in ivory that I've been waiting to go on sale forever.

All this AND I picked up my...Irresistible Maxi Dress from the tailor for my concert on Thursday! I had the hem shortened and now, I'm ready to wear it! I'm so excited!!! It's such a stunner!

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.

Heroine's Homecoming Top $118 Lil

 

 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!!!!!!
