Some Anthro Reviews.

Hey y'all! I got to make an unexpected trip to Anthro Sunday as a co-worker and I ran some errands for the big conference we have this week. I found a few things I LOVED, a few I didn't and not a lot in between. Definitely hoping for a sale this week though, as I left empty handed.


One of the first items I tried on was the Craft & Creation Top (Small). I'm not a huge embellished tee person as I have a hard time with tees in general, and this one was no exception. As you can see, the ivory color was a bit sheer and I'm covering up my belly button because it was weirding me out. I was confused by the fact that there was both a cowl and this huge row of "flowers" down the front. It was a lovely material, but too sheer and too much for me.


I really loved the vintage feel of the Sidespun Tee (Small) and the cross over detail. This was definitely a piece I'd wait for a sale on, but it would look so great with a pair of cropped black pants and a black beret. So Parisian!:) They had the cutest black knit berets in the store.


I couldn't find this top on the site, but as soon as I walked out of the dressing room with it on, my co-worker said, "Wow." That's always a good sign. I tried this on in a small, and it was a really nice material, one which would wear out easily, a great thing for a black top. This will be a definite sale pick up.


I had to try on the Pure & Good Basic Tee (Medium) since I've been eyeing it in my cart and just as I suspected, it was soft and comfy and wonderful. This will definitely be coming to my house with my next order.


I tried on the Whitecaps Blouse (Size 4) even though I already have the Dewpoint Blouse and Blue Book Blouse, but this might be another piece I have to add to the collection. Such a great basic. I wouldn't necessarily pair it with this AMAZING clockwork skirt though. I WILL HAVE THIS SKIRT. It is perfection. I tried a Size 6 and despite my large lunch from PF Changs, it fit perfectly.


I had to try on the Alena Skirt (Size 6) just one more time after seeing it look so cute on Sara, but I again decided it wasn't for me. I don't have the tiniest waist in the world and it just doesn't do much for me. I love the material and the cut though, so if any of you have overlooked this, it's worth a try. I tried it with the Graces Tank (Small) which I liked tucked in, but not so much untucked. It's a pretty layering piece, but a little too voluminous for me. Perhaps when it goes on sale...


I was seriously in love with the Cloudwatcher Cardi (Small) until I turned around and saw this...


What the heck are those things? It reminds me of a show on Nickelodeon from when I was little where the people had alien eggs growing out of their backs. WEIRD. Needless to say, this was a pass.


I only grabbed the Homestead Denim Skirt (Size 28) because it was so darn soft, but ended up regretting it the moment I put it on. I should know at this point in my life that denim skirts and I do not mix, but they just make me feel like I'm in 5th grade again, it's the first day of school and I feel awkward. Wow I'm being very detailed about my dislikes today, huh? Anyway, I think it would be cute on someone else perhaps, just not for me. I also gave the Curated Tee (Medium) another shot, but I just need to make peace with the fact that this top isn't going to work on me. RIP Curated Tee.


A piece that I fell in love with as soon as I put on was the Vagabond Dress (Small) in blue. Far too pricey for me to buy until it's on sale, but once this goes to the sale section it will be mine. Though I think it will make a better winter dress, pair with tights, boots and a scarf. So. Freaking. Lovely.


I tried on the Leisured Zebra Skirt (Size 8) just because of the lovely texture (what is it with me and soft things lately?) and wasn't too thrilled with the way it looked. Though I felt like it would look really great on someone else, it just doesn't fit into my wardrobe.

There is no better feeling than sliding into an Anthro dress that fits like a glove. Enter the Secret Treasure Dress (Small).

Between this dress and the Tiny Windows Dress, I'm having a REAL hard time resisting. They're both pretty reasonably priced for Anthro dresses, and they both fit me perfectly. I'd like to get this dress in the green color instead of the navy though as green just fits me more. Can't wait for this to go on sale!

That's all for now! See anything you like? Did you hit Anthro this weekend?

I stopped by Anthro today and tried on a few skirts/dresses (reviews tomorrow), one of which was the Secret Treasure Dress. I loved it too, but I hated having to button all of those buttons! It's still at the top of my wish list though along with the Vagabond Dress, which looks great on you! I ended up leaving with the same Curated Tee you tried on. I'm only keeping it if it goes on sale in the next 2 weeks though.

Debbie said...

LOVE the Secret Treasures Dress! I hope this shows up in my store soon. I think I probably want the green too, although the blue is lovely too... :-)

Lisa - Respect the Shoes said...

Thanks for the great reviews! I honestly hadn't given the Secret Treasures dress a second thought before, but now it's high on my wishlist!

And that clockworks skirt is divine! Do you recall what price range it ran in?

So many cute things - so hard to resist ...

Lorraine said...

The Secret Treasures dress looks so great on you. I'm going to have to try that on the next time I'm in my anthro. I love the whitecaps blouse and the clock skirt. Both high on my wishlist. They both looked fab on you.

Kathryn said...

Wow wow wow! I seriously hadn't thought much about the Vagabond Dress until now, because I wasn't sure how the gathered waist would look. But it looks amazing on you! LOVE! Wishlisting NOW.

I had a huge lol moment with the Cloudwatcher Cardi - what the heck..?! Business in the front and...ugly in the back? It looks like you got attacked by fluffy ruffles or something...

I may have to rethink the Graces Tank now after seeing how incredibly sheer it is in your photos. =\

Thanks for the awesome reviews!

Kim said...

I love that Clock Skirt on you!! So much so, that now I think I'll have to try it on. It honestly didn't do much for me on the hanger, but you may have sold me on it.
The Vagabond Dress is amazing on you!

Amy said...

The Vagabond dress looks AMAZING on you!

Breanne at Bella Vita said...

Great reviews!! I hope there's a sale too and you can get what you want :-)

I've been eyeing the Leisured Zebra skirt, and I'd love to try it on and see how it works for me. But I've had quite a zebra fixation lately. We'll see!

Sara said...

Love the secret treasures dress! I so want to see in my store soon. I can't wait to see that clock skirt too! Love it.

DEA said...

Thanks for the reviews and it's helpful to see them on you. The Clock Skirt and the top you paired it with are my favorite pieces. So far, the dresses haven't impressed me too much.

You look *awesome* in the Secret Treasure dress -- get it, get it! And good lord, that clock skirt has to be mine one day, I keep falling more and more in love every time I see another person try it on.

I had to laugh at the back shot of the Cloudwatcher Cardi -- what were they thinking??!

Anyway, thanks for the great reviews K!
